“I’m finished, Your Majesty.”
“It seems we need to end this once and for all to ensure Isabella is not harassed again. I thought he would have come to his senses after the last time, but clearly, he hasn’t.”
For some reason, Lianne seemed even more enraged than before.
“Perhaps because the atmosphere was good earlier?”
It seemed like that was the case.
“Oh, no, Your Majesty. It’s just that… It’s just that!”
“I don’t want to hear it. Think carefully about the consequences for harassing the Empress and spreading baseless rumors. Take them away. I don’t want to see them.”
That was all Lianne said. He seemed to have no desire to speak further, and eventually, the Viscount and Viscountess were dragged away by the knights.
“Oh, no, I didn’t say anything. It was the lady who caused all this!”
“Husband and wife are one. Take them away.”
“Oh, no, Bella! Please save me, even this father! I only came to stop your mother. I thought it was too much, too!”
“That bastard! Rather than helping each other, they’re… whatever!”
“Be quiet. What a mess because of that mouth! We should have just taken some money and left as planned! It’s your fault that your daughter left home, how outrageous. I should divorce that woman!”
Even as they were leaving, the Viscount couple continued to argue. In the novel, they never separated until the end, but this time, it seemed they were really going to part ways.
In the novel, there was not much reason for them to separate. Originally, the Viscount was in a position to hide behind the Viscountess and enjoy the benefits.
However, Shasha and I left the house, so it must have been a difficult time for them, as seen on video.
“What they said sounded like nonsense to anyone. If anyone else talks about the Empress after this incident, we’ll punish them just like them, so keep that in mind.”
Lianne didn’t forget to monitor the attendees in case someone else spoke behind his back. Those in the banquet hall responded by lowering their heads.
“Let’s end the banquet with this. Those beggars came and ruined the mood of the party. Everyone, disperse.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Once again, congratulations on the marriage with the Empress, Your Majesty.”
The nobles who exchanged greetings each left the banquet hall quickly. Watching them, Lianne also left the hall with me, heading towards the Star Palace.
“Aren’t we supposed to be together on a day like this?”
“On a day like this, you should be with the children. I haven’t been able to pay attention to them all day.”
“Too bad.”
“Wait until the children are okay. Okay?”
Lianne nodded at those words.
“Empress, you should rest well too.”
“Yes.”
“And I heard about what happened with Abamama through Tethel. That matter… No, let’s talk about it next time.”
“Rest, Lianne.”
He looked at me with a regretful expression, but I firmly left him behind and returned to the room. If I let myself be captivated by that gaze, I felt like I would follow Lianne.
A quiet room.
The children seemed to have already fallen asleep; Ena and Cherti were gone. However, there was no sign of Redello. I looked at the tip of Shasha’s finger, who always held Redello to keep her from waking up.
It seemed that Redello had held the pillow instead of Shasha to prevent her from waking up. It didn’t seem to be anything like kidnapping, but I still felt worried.
So, to find Redello, I searched the room and found Redello sitting quietly on the terrace.
I sat down quietly next to Redello.
“Can’t you sleep?”
“Ah… Empress Mama.”
At my sudden appearance, Redello looked at me for a moment, then shifted his gaze back into the air.
Since we spent time in the Star Palace, he had improved a lot, but he was still quite different from the first Redello I knew.
He seemed to get along well with his friends, but it didn’t feel the same as before. So, I said while gently patting the child’s head.
“After calling me ‘Mom,’ are you now calling me ‘Empress Mom’ again?”
“Ah… I’m sorry.”
“No need to apologize. I just wish Redello could be Redello.”
“Being myself?”
Redello responded with a question to my words, expressing doubt.
“Yes. Just growing up as yourself. It would be great if you were confidently noble, knew how to behave boldly, and said no when you didn’t like something. I wish you could be that way. But now… it seems you can’t, and it bothers me.”
“Ah.”
“Is there anyone bothering you?”
Although Redello seemed more stable than before, he still appeared to have difficulty falling asleep.
“No. There isn’t.”
“Then.”
I thought it was time to ask something. Whenever I looked at Redello, I had a nagging feeling, wondering about something. Like Redello’s birth mother constantly contacting him. Although the feeling had diminished since coming to the Star Palace, I still sensed that someone was keeping an eye on Redello.
“So, there’s no one who keeps talking to you?”
“What do you mean?”
“Just anyone saying the same things to you from the sidelines.”
“Ah.”
As if recalling something, Redello sighed softly and shook his head slightly.
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.”
