I Had the Enemy's Baby (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 139
“He who fails to protect what is his has no right to complain when it is taken.”
Marquis Macie lifted his glass and sipped the remaining wine.
Outside the door, the Butler remained standing in place, silently replaying their recent conversation in his mind.
‘That Marquis Macie is drinking alcohol?’
Marquis Macie was no ordinary figure to be underestimated.
He was the man most trusted and kept closest by the young king, who had ascended the throne after Queen Sylvia’s passing.
Whenever a new monarch took the throne, shifts inevitably occurred among the nobility—new in-laws through marriage might rise to prominence, or cadet branches of the royal family could gain influence depending on the succession.
In such circumstances, the chances of a late king’s confidant winning the new monarch’s favor were usually slim. Yet the fact that Marquis Macie not only avoided being sidelined in court politics but also retained a position of significant power demonstrated his considerable skill.

He distinctly recalled how delighted the Marquis had been when gifted a premium black tea produced in their domain.

It was as if he were steeling himself with drink for some daunting task ahead.
The Butler’s intuition screamed that everything about this situation felt deeply suspicious.

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.”
