If You Want To Possess Me (9 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 39
The news of Kisa and Seyard’s engagement shook the capital—and indeed the entire kingdom—starting the very next day after the charity ball.
Seeing her own name splashed across the front page of the newspaper in headlines as large as a door, Kisa couldn’t hide her genuine surprise. She had steeled herself for the fallout, but the scale of the uproar far exceeded anything she’d imagined.
It utterly dwarfed the recent broken engagement between Kisa and Daniel.
Whereas the broken engagement with Daniel had merely sparked gossip for three days before fading into obscurity—a relatively common affair—the engagement to Seyard was a bombshell that kept public opinion ablaze for over a month.
This was due not only to the immense prestige House of Hiran held in the Sorbi Kingdom, but also to Seyard himself, whose very existence carried an air of high drama.
Born the younger of twins, he had been condemned to virtual imprisonment in a monastery—a fate bordering on exile—simply because his elder brother had emerged into the world a mere heartbeat earlier and thus inherited everything.
Certainly, to preserve the dignity of a ducal house, they had granted him sufficient funds and accommodations to live comfortably even within the monastery, yet compared to the full wealth of House Hiran, what he received amounted to virtually nothing.
Moreover, it was widely rumored in society that the family’s generosity was strictly contingent upon Seyard remaining confined to the designated monastery.
‘Should I call this cold-hearted… or ruthlessly pragmatic?’
In any case, from Seyard’s perspective, leaving the monastery meant relinquishing even the few possessions he still held.
And that wasn’t all. Would the very people who had so coldly cast him out of the family truly cease caring the moment he abandoned those meager belongings and stepped beyond the monastery gates?
Worse still, as the sole younger brother of the heir apparent, the instant he defied the fate assigned to him, he placed himself in the perfect position to be misunderstood as scheming against his own house.
It was a situation with no way out. What could a youth, sent away to a monastery before even reaching adolescence and raised in complete isolation from society, possibly do?
The ill-fated son of Duke Hiran—once a frequent subject of public gossip from the moment of his birth until his effective banishment—was gradually forgotten.
Most people assumed Seyard Hiran would live out his days in the monastery and be buried in the adjacent cemetery even after death.
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.”
