“I’m bored…”
It had been four days, a full four days.
This was too much.
Evelia could not take a single step out of the infirmary.
Whenever she tried to rise from her bed, her family, who had canceled all their scheduled affairs including official duties, social gatherings, and training to be by her side, would gently press her shoulders and soothe her back to sleep.
Meanwhile, the most stressed job in the manor right now was being the attending physician.
“Cough!”
“Doctor! Doctor! Our child seems to have complications!”
Whenever Evelia made even a small cough, Arkhan and Cedric would rush to call the doctor.
“Uhm.”
“Doctor! Doctor! Eve seems to be sleeptalking due to stress.”
Whenever she made even a slight moan in her sleep, Elysia would immediately rush over and call out to the doctor with a worried look, multiple times.
If only that was it, it would have been a relief.
“Why won’t this wound heal?”
“I’m sorry, but it’s normal for a bruise on the body to not disappear in four days, Your Grace.”
“That’s not it. Aren’t you failing to treat it properly?”
Aren’t you a Swordmaster? The doctor swallowed his words that were on the tip of his tongue.
“Make it heal by the day after tomorrow.”
“Your Grace, that’s!”
This was unbearable. Just when the doctor was about to hand in his resignation letter,
Thump, a jewel fell at his feet. It was thrown by the duke himself.
“This is my specialty. I will do my best.”
This is my lifelong job. The doctor bowed deeply.
Meanwhile, the Knights brought Evelia her favorite golden daffodils every day during their visits.
The infirmary was filled with the scent of flowers, as they piled up bouquets in the infirmary because our young lady did not like the smell of medicinal herbs.
The maids and servants could not enter the infirmary and left snacks that Evelia used to like outside the infirmary.
The chef, Seto, who used to get spontaneous snack requests from the young lady, was now without energy as the young lady was staying quietly in the infirmary.
The moment he heard that our little lady was kidnapped by a demon, he sat down in the kitchen. He could deeply feel how significant our little lady was to this manor.
The past four days passed amidst such extreme care and troubles.
Evelia couldn’t bear it anymore.
“I’m all better now!”
A vibrant morning! A strong morning! A refreshing morning!
Escape from the infirmary!
“You’re not better yet. Sleep more. Snore.”
“I’m all better now! If I stay lying down like this, I will turn into a stiff log.”
Arkhan, ignoring her, tried to lay Evelia back down, putting his hand on her shoulder. Evelia immediately began to whine.
“Ouch! My brother is hurting my shoulder!”
“Gasp!”
“Ouch?”
“Ev… Eve!”
“Ouch?”
With his eyes wide open and frozen, Arkhan ran to call the doctor.
“Heh. Got rid of the nuisance.”
Once the nuisance was gone, Evelia jumped down from the bed and headed downstairs.
In fact, she had a place she wanted to go to since four days ago.
The firstfloor infirmary.
The moment her guard knight fell was still vivid.
During the four days of her treatment, all of Evelia’s nightmares were not about being dragged away by the demon, but the moment Caron was stabbed.
Eek.
As she quietly closed the door and took a step forward, she saw Caron lying on the white bed sheet with a pale face. The sheet was stained with patches of red blood.
Tears welled up in Evelia’s wideopen seablue eyes.
“…”
My guard knight.
If only I hadn’t rushed out on my own. If only I hadn’t pestered him to go buy gifts.
No. That’s not it.
It wasn’t a mistake.
‘If I had blocked Cerberus properly. If I had studied spirit magic more. If I was stronger.’
Caron wouldn’t have ended up like this.
A large tear drop soaked the floor.
“Little Miss…”
She saw the Artina Knights standing outside the open infirmary door.
As Herald quietly called and extended his hand, Evelia walked out with heavy steps and buried her face in Herald’s arm.
Herald silently carried Evelia to the reception room.
Right next to Evelia, who was slumped on the sofa, her family and the Knights filled up the space.
“Miss. The role of Charon is to protect you. Rather, he’s no different from a sinner who couldn’t fulfill his duties.”
Dwen opened his mouth trying to soothe Evelia.
From the conventional concept of master and knight, it was an entirely correct statement.
However, the concept of master and knight Evelia learned from Hugo was different.
“No! He’s not a sinner! If you talk like that to Charon, Dwen, I’ll hate you!”
“Miss”
Evelia, who had been biting her lip while looking at the floor for a moment, spoke in a small voice.
“I promised to protect your back, but I couldn’t.”
“But our Knight Order, for the Miss, would”
As Dwen was about to retort, Evelia raised a hand as if telling him to be quiet.
Her figure resembled the nobility of Elysia to a great extent.
“Protect my back. I will protect what is in front of you.”
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.”
