“Anyway, my knights are waiting to be healed. You must be tired, but can you see them now?”
“Of course.”
Iscariel quickened his pace to match Hades’ stride.
(This is a time separator.)
“…Is there really no way?”
Hades’ voice was quiet, but he couldn’t hide a gloomy aura.
“Yes.”
Iscariel nodded sadly.
“I can’t heal your brother’s injuries.”
I bit my lip. Iscariel was indeed the Viceroy, as Hades had claimed, and he healed most injuries effortlessly.
Even without prayers, just by touching, his divine power healed a sprained ankle; it was miraculous.
But the problem occurred with the last patient.
The injury itself was similar to the other knights’, but unfortunately, the wound had become infected, and necrosis had set in.
“This… can only be addressed with surgical intervention.”
At the Viceroy’s diagnosis, Hades asked again desperately.
“Is there really nothing you can do? If you need some ingredients, I can provide them. And I can also lend my power.”
Instead of answering, the Viceroy touched the wound with his fingertip. A white light flickered, but that was it. The wound continued to ooze thick pus.
“Nothing.”
The Viceroy closed his eyes.
“If there were a panacea, maybe…”
“I have one.”
Hades immediately opened his mouth.
“I have one.”
I opened my mouth, then closed it. Could he know about the health potions I had been hiding? If not…
Hades pulled a small bottle of red liquid from his pocket. The sloshing liquid was definitely a health potion.
“Are you sure it’s a panacea?”
“Yes. It’s the last one left in our family.”
I felt a rush to my head.
The health potion that I had in abundance and would give to Tobias without hesitation, was the only one left for Hades.
The Viceroy stared at him intently.
“Your Highness, are you sure you want to use it on the knight? You may need it someday.”
“Use it.”
Hades answered without a moment’s hesitation.
“It’s an order.”
I fidgeted with my hands. The health potions in my possession felt heavier today.
The Viceroy slowly took the health potion from Hades and poured it directly onto the knight’s wound. The necrotic flesh visibly regained its original color.
“It’s genuine.”
The Chancellor was truly surprising.
“This quality of panacea is rare even in the empire.”
“And lesser quality?”
“Plenty.”
The Chancellor once again activated his divine power as he responded.
“Exportation outside the empire is the only restriction; its production is free.”
A peculiar expression appeared on Hades’ face.
“Try moving.”
The knight sprang up from his seat.
“I feel reborn, Your Highness. Thank you!”
“Your thanks should go to the Chancellor here, not me.”
“Thank you, Chancellor! I will never forget this favor. However…”
The knight knelt towards Hades.
“I do not misunderstand the significance of this medicine to Your Highness. Truly, I am so grateful, Your Highness. My life is yours from now on.”
Hades faintly smiled.
“Your life is your own. Now go and rest.”
“Yes!”
Hades exchanged pleasantries with the Chancellor and Shujechin before exiting the sickroom.
They decided to stay in the sickroom a bit longer as there were still patients to be seen.
The moment I reached the deserted corridor, I opened my mouth.
“Your Highness, that panacea is…”
He abruptly stopped.
“I’ve heard it’s of no use to you.”
For a moment, my vision dimmed. What was Hades trying to say, could it be…?
“Even though it’s a panacea, it has its limits. I’ve checked several times, it’s certain.”
“Your Highness.”
I quickly interrupted him.
“I didn’t ask for myself.”
Hades looked down at me with a puzzled gaze.
“The last remaining panacea is yours, Your Highness. What will you do if you get hurt later?”
Hades stared at me intently.
“Do you think I’ll get hurt?”
For a moment, I was at a loss for words. If anyone in Donovan, no, in Leodel, was least likely to get hurt, it would be Hades.
He was that strong.
“People are unpredictable.”
Even though Hades didn’t know, I had seen. How Hades Croitner transformed when pushed to his limits, and how he eventually knelt before the protagonist.
‘……?’
I shuddered in surprise. For a moment, Hades’ hand touched my head. As I swiftly pulled away, Hades lowered his hand with a peculiar expression.
After a moment of silence, a flat voice echoed in the empty hallway.
“You’re really the only one who would worry about something like that.”
Hades continued walking down the hallway without another word, but I saw it.
The glinting golden letters on his chest.
70 (I don’t care who you are)
It was a number I had never seen before.
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.”
