“Ah, the room must be on the same floor as mine.”
I nodded.
It would be best to have a room near Hades’ residence, just in case someone intent on stealing the sacred sword invades.
But the butler seemed utterly surprised, not knowing the details.
“Yes?”
Hades frowned.
“Why, is there a problem?”
“Not at all. I will do as commanded, Your Grace.”
The butler’s words came out rapidfire, and he quickened his pace.
I followed him, thinking to myself.
‘What is this…?’
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]“This is your room.”
“Wow…”
I didn’t hide my admiration.
The room the butler led me to was a magnificent bedroom that could have come straight out of a fantasy novel.
In the center was a large bed adorned with curtains, and a wardrobe that filled one entire wall, along with a beautiful mahogany desk, seemed exquisite enough to impress even highranking nobility.
“I will now bring the maids who will attend to you.”
“I don’t need maids.”
I quickly answered.
I didn’t intend to be simply protected in the duke’s castle.
I needed to use Denesor as freely as possible as soon as possible, and the more eyes watching, the more likely someone would discover the sword’s identity.
The butler tilted his head.
“But you’ll need at least one maid to look after you.”
“I’ve been doing it alone all this time. Just bring me my meals.”
“Is that so?”
Fortunately, the butler did not insist.
“Then please rest. I will bring you some clothes.”
I sank into the soft sofa as soon as the butler left.
‘I think I’ll live.’
I hadn’t realized how tense I had been until now, and my whole body felt stiff.
But rest was shortlived; someone knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
Surprisingly, the person who entered was not the butler, but a sternlooking young maid.
“Saintess.”
Holding a bundle that reached her head, the maid’s voice trembled.
“I’ve brought you clothes to change into.”
“Ah, thank you.”
The maid did not leave even after she had arranged all the clothes she had brought.
“Shall I prepare the bathwater, Holy Lady?”
“Thank you so much!”
I smiled brightly.
I hadn’t had a proper bath since becoming ‘Angelica.’
Of course, I would be glad for the bathwater.
But perhaps I was too excited.
The maid’s eyes hardened.
Oh dear, I must have looked too thoughtless.
When I immersed myself in the bathwater the maid had quietly prepared, a fragrant rose scent wafted up.
‘It feels good…’
Perhaps because my body had naturally become tired from having my first bath since becoming Angelica, my eyes slowly closed.
If the maid hadn’t shaken me awake, I might have foolishly drowned.
“Wake up, Holy Lady. The water has cooled.”
I blinked.
The water had indeed grown cold.
I yawned and got out of the tub, drying myself thoroughly with a soft towel.
Now it’s time to get dressed…
“Um.”
I cautiously opened my mouth.
“Aren’t there any other clothes?”
Normally, I would have worn whatever was given.
I knew how much favor the Duke’s family had already shown me.
But this dress…
‘Too provocative?’
The skirt part was not a big issue.
It was a long velvet skirt typical of the North.
The problem was the top.
With a deep neckline and transparent sleeves and chest hem, it was a garment that would be considered bold even in modern times.
I racked my brain, recalling the attire of female characters in Leodel.
The Holy Lady naturally wore tightly wrapped clothing, and the magicians also wore long robes with little exposure. The exception was the barbarian female warriors who wore armor that revealed a lot of skin.
The ordinary women seemed to wear notsounique medievalstyle dresses…
“I’ll bring other clothes, but it might take a few days to find the right size for you, Holy Lady. Is that okay?”
It seemed logical that finding a fitting dress for the rather thin Angelica would be a task.
“A few days are fine.”
I answered confidently and looked over the dresses, only to freeze.
The dress I was currently wearing was provocative enough to be considered noble, but I discovered even more revealing nightwear.
So…
Just barely covering the essential parts, a skincolored seethrough.
Would this make sense?
“I think any size will do for the nightgown. Just bring something ordinary, please.”
The maid looked at me with eyes full of words she wanted to say, then nodded.
“Yes, Holy Lady.”
While she was gone to fetch the clothes and dinner, I was confused.
Is this kind of clothing fashionable in the North?
Has Leodel started fashion that outdoes modern times without my knowledge?
The successive questions remained unresolved until the maid returned.
“I will prepare your meal.”
Fitting for the Duke’s household, all the food was fantastic!
…How nice that would be.
The only edible thing was the cheese.
The soup was too salty, the bread was horribly hard, and the dried fruit had a pungent smell.
Still, it was better than the food I had eaten for the past ten days, so I ate as enthusiastically as I could.
I only managed a few spoonfuls of the block of salt soup, though.
“Is there something wrong with the soup?”
The maid tilted her head as she cleared the bowl.
I momentarily pondered whether to say that the soup was salty but quickly made up my mind.
‘Oh well, it must be to the taste of the people here.’
Moreover, the soup is boiled in large quantities at once.
Making it just for me would be troublesome.
“Not at all.”
I smiled lightly.
“I’ve eaten other things, so I’m too full.”
“I saw that you even left the bread……”
“Ah, that’s also because I’m full.”
Fortunately, the maid had a convinced face right away, and I didn’t notice anything strange.
That is, until the next day’s breakfast, lunch, and dinner, when only cheese and dried fruits were served at my table.
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.”
