“What?”
“As I mentioned. The medicine has been completed, but I haven’t prepared it separately yet because further testing is needed.”
“Then, what you gave me before?”
“It was medicine left to test on the prisoners.”
In response to Dylan’s indifferent reply, Evelyn narrowed her eyes.
“So, the medicine you gave me back then was all there was?”
“That’s correct.”
“Then, I can just make the medicine again.”
Dylan, seeming perplexed, touched his forehead as he cautiously spoke while checking Evelyn’s reaction.
“It’s not that simple.”
“What does ‘not simple’ mean?”
“You wanted a perfect medicine, right? That’s why the manufacturing process is intricate.”
Evelyn’s gaze, which had discreetly focused on Sophia, suddenly caught her attention.
‘If only Sophia hadn’t made such a ridiculous mistake…’
Sensing the intense glare falling on her, Sophia lowered her head.
‘Your Majesty, I did not make any mistakes. I simply placed the tea inside as it was.’
‘If the First Prince hadn’t told me there was powder on my cup, I might have died. I almost died because of your absurd mistake. Yet, you don’t even reflect on it.’
‘Your Majesty, I…’
‘I don’t want to hear it, so leave. It’s best for you to remember that I won’t tolerate two mistakes, Sophia.’
Sophia, shrugging her shoulders, raised her hand above my cheek. Even though Evelyn’s gaze was directed at her, the slap that hit her seemed to sting again.
“Your Majesty, have you already used up the medicine I gave you last time?”
“Yeah, it was due to a ridiculous mistake.”
“Then, until when do I have to make the medicine?”
“As soon as possible.”
“The process of making the medicine itself is complicated, and each step takes considerable time, so it will take about three days.”
Evelyn counted the remaining days. There were exactly three days left until the Imperial Prince Book-Binding Ceremony that Calisto had declared. Given the situation, it was impossible to feed the medicine to Ian before the ceremony.
‘In that case, on the day of the Imperial Prince Ceremony, taking advantage of everyone’s busyness, it wouldn’t be bad to deal with a big issue.’
Having organized her thoughts, Evelyn gently pulled her lips.
“How many medicines can you produce at once?”
“I’ve made up to five at once. I haven’t tried more than that yet.”
“That should be enough.”
“…Then, I’ll withdraw.”
When Calisto and Ian were filled with joy, it seemed like a great spectacle to throw everything into chaos.
‘If we lose Violet and Ian after each other, I wonder if Calisto can endure it.’
Evelyn, who chuckled softly at the thought, leaned back on the sofa. At that moment, the door to the reception room opened wide.
“Mother!”
“Enoch, are you not hearing my words at all? I clearly said…”
Enoch, as if the matter was not important, clapped his hands and interrupted Evelyn’s words.
“Isn’t there much time left until the Imperial Prince Book-Binding Ceremony? Are you just going to watch like this?”
“I told you. You just need to stay in your place.”
Enoch let out a deep sigh as if he found it frustrating, patting his chest as if to ease the discomfort.
“After the Book-Binding Ceremony, Ian will become the Imperial Prince. What’s the point of guarding the Second Prince’s position?”
“The Imperial Prince Book-Binding Ceremony can be held again at any time.”
“What?”
“Even if Ian ascends to the position of the Imperial Prince, there is no guarantee that he will continue to hold that position.”
As always, his son, who only knew one thing and was clueless about everything else, just scratched his cheek with a face that clearly showed he didn’t understand. Evelyn, suppressing a sigh about to emerge, spoke firmly.
“You have to show a more dignified and composed appearance than anyone else in that position. Do you understand?”
“…”
Enoch tightly shut his mouth. He didn’t intend to reveal his face when he saw Ian becoming the Imperial Prince; his expression wouldn’t even show on that seat.
“Surely you’re not planning not to show your face?”
Pierced by Evelyn’s sharp words, Enoch, instead of feeling hurt, responded loudly.
“N-No, of course not.”
“On that day, it’s best not to do anything foolish. And try to soothe Camilla.”
Time passed quickly. As I reached the end of the path surrounded by tall trees, I loosened the reins I held in my hands.
What filled my sight was the mansion where Violet had lived. It was strange, but for some reason, I felt remarkably comfortable, having been here only once.
I led Emily straight into the stable and knocked on the door. While tidying up my slightly wrinkled dress, the door opened wide.
“Lady Rosabella, have you arrived?”
“Melissa, how have you been? Prince said to come here when he comes…”
Melissa, smiling, grabbed my hand, which I extended with a friendly gesture.
“Please come in. And please feel free to speak comfortably in front of me.”
“Huh?”
“I heard everything that day too.”
Melissa, who showed a faint smile, spoke in a kind voice.
“No, it’s just Prince is not here, and there are only the two of us, Melissa and me…”
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
