Kendali opened her mouth dumbly. She heard a cracking sound as if her skull was fracturing. Her eyes, which had shown nothing but darkness, started to roll upward when Greta leaned in and whispered.
“You’re not a gypsy…are you?”
What did that even mean?
A terrifying thought flashed across Kendali’s mind, who had been thinking quietly.
Kendali had been researching ‘living corpses,’ different from traditional undead. These were bodies where the soul could not escape, not just soulless bodies moving around.
‘If a once-dead body collects a soul, the foul aura emanating from the decaying flesh would corrupt the soul.’
The ideal subject for manipulation.
‘Like Adel.’
This research was still incomplete, because the ’emotion’ felt at the moment of death played a significant role when manipulating the subject. To put it simply,
To kill A using undead, the undead must have been a person who harbored a grudge against A. Killing someone who harbored a grudge against B or no one at all wouldn’t work against A.
‘There’s no helping that they have a consciousness.’
Brainwashing every subject was too resource-consuming. Thus, Kendali’s final question was ‘how to create an emotion-independent undead.’
‘Yurisien was lucky.’
He met Adel, who harbored ill-will toward him. Adel thought, if only Yurisien were gone, she wouldn’t have been humiliated.
[Prince also looked at me more fondly than he did Yurisien!]Adel had shouted. She was walking alone, having been abandoned on her return trip after riding a carriage with Edna and Yeriel. Kidnapping and slaughtering her was quite easy.
[Curse me until you die. Your death is solely because of the Windsor Princess.]The assassin’s words led Adel to curse Yurisien with her dying breath. She died stupid, obtuse, and ignorant.
Kendall had once enjoyed teatime with Greta and Orangery; now, this research threatened to kill him.
Kendall looked around the gloomy cave, thinking that even the dungeon of the Duke of Windsor would be cleaner.
“……Huh.”
Tears welled up. The pain of betrayal by Greta, whom he had thought to be his only savior in this world, felt like it was tearing his chest apart. His life was just too precarious. But there was no time to grieve over this.
‘Who would have thought the Empress was a gypsy.’
Knowing Greta’s weakness meant he could escape and live. He knew people who would pay a high price for this information.
Quickly regaining his composure, Kendall activated the listening device he had discreetly tucked into his sleeve when teleporting Raphine. It was placed for tracking Raphine’s safety and location.
The moment he activated the magical device, Raphine’s cheerful voice rang in Kendall’s ear.
[Dash]Thank you so much for saving me, Your Highness the Crown Prince!It was clear that fate was still on Kendall’s side.
Otherwise, among the many people, who else but Benjamin would pay the highest price for the Empress’s information to help Raphine?
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.”
