I whispered to the sword, careful not to let Amy hear.
“Fool, how can I solve the problem if you carelessly strain your body? Listen to the maid and rest.”
……I didn’t expect anything.
I heaved a deep sigh.
I didn’t think Amy would let me go easily, but I had no intention of just resting either.
“Amy, how can we manage? I’ll really come back right after breakfast.”
“……”
Amy seemed to think for a moment.
“If you insist, I’ll get ready. But really don’t overdo it. You understand?”
“Mmm…….”
I hurriedly got out of bed and sat down at the dressing table.
Amy rummaged through the wardrobe, finding the most comfortable dress while I washed my face and did some light grooming.
The soft touch of the dress that enveloped my body felt even softer than my nightgown.
Perhaps that’s why.
As I received Amy’s hair treatment after putting on the dress, my eyes began to close.
“Just sleep a little.”
Amy spoke with a somewhat satisfied voice.
“I’ll wake you up later, so don’t worry about the schedule.”
It was too tempting to refuse, and I slipped into sleep.
And when I opened my eyes…
“Um, Your Grace?”
I jumped up in astonishment.
Hades Croitner was sitting right next to the bed, staring intently at me.
“The time is…….”
I knew even before I asked.
Outside the window, the sunset was already settling in.
‘I was completely fooled by Amy.’
A hollow laugh escaped me. Amy had changed me back into my nightgown and even laid me down on the bed.
Hades seemed to have read my mind.
“Don’t blame the maid. She just did what she had to do.”
“……Thanks to that, I couldn’t do what I had to do. What a good maid.”
“She only took care of a foolish master who can’t even take care of himself properly,” the maid said.
I looked straight at Hades.
“I just tried to follow your words as much as possible. Is that foolish?”
“Foolish.”
There was a bitter note in Hades’ voice.
“Nothing is more important than life.”
“……I won’t die just because I overdid it a little.”
“The imperial doctor thought otherwise.”
“You showed me to the envoy?”
My voice involuntarily rose.
Hades shook his head.
“It seems you forgot, but I’m totally smitten with you. At least the envoy thinks so. And you were sick…… What do you think I would have done?”
“……!”
My head was dizzy.
Hades Croitner even took advantage of me appearing to be dead asleep.
‘Should I be relieved?’
I slapped my cheeks lightly to regain my senses.
“What did the doctor say?”
“Incurable disease.”
Hades answered without hesitation.
“He said you only have at most 3 years left to live. If you push yourself, it’s 1 year.”
I blinked.
Since it was exactly the same time Denesor mentioned, the envoy’s doctor must have been very skilled.
Silence flowed, and Hades looked down at me with a strange face.
“……Don’t you have anything to say, Holy Maiden?”
I shook my head.
“What do you want, then?”
This time, it took quite a long time to answer.
In reality, the things I wanted could never be spoken.
Protecting me until Leto and his companions came.
And…… for Hades Croitner not to fall.
“……Nothing in particular.”
Hades chuckled.
Was it because he was still tired? His smiling face looked beautiful.
“Then it’s my turn to say what I want.”
“Is there more?”
I tilted my head.
So far, Hades has asked a lot of me.
To ask more now, even for the villain of Leodel, wasn’t it too much?
“It’s simple.”
Hades suddenly stood up from the chair and leaned toward me.
My body involuntarily shrank.
He came close enough to feel his unique chill.
“Cherish your life.”
“……Even when I only have at most 3 years left?”
“Especially since you only have at most 3 years, all the more.”
I licked my lips.
Why, why is Hades Croitner saying this to me?
The fact that I was on borrowed time was news that Hades should be pleased with.
It was an opportunity to easily reclaim the Holy Sword.
But, why……
‘……!’
I opened my eyes wide.
Small writing appeared on Hades’s chest and started to blink quickly.

Status description: What exactly is this emotion beginning to bloom in his heart? Only he knows the truth. Maybe even he doesn’t know!
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.”
