In This Life, I'll Assist You (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 164
I stood at the witness stand. The eyes of every noble in the chamber fell upon me.
They all knew I was a knight of the Northern Knights Order, a loyal servant of the Grand Duke of the North, and the Empire’s first Sword Master.
Grateful anew for the reputation and status that lent credibility to my words, I opened my mouth.
“In my earliest childhood, cursed by dark magic that stole half my face and my memories, I was raised within the Southern Grand Ducal Palace of House Lahert. There, I was known as the ‘White Caterpillar’ and trained alongside other orphans brought by Cramnel to become assassins. It was not my choice, but a necessity for survival. The Red Worm was also called the Red Caterpillar—a boy raised alongside me to become an assassin.”
The nobles began murmuring among themselves—likely hearing this tale for the first time.
“Caterpillars who failed to endure or fell behind in training were killed. The Red Caterpillar survived and became a Worm. I too survived and witnessed everything. He had been Medea Lahert’s shadow and confidant since her days as a young lady. The Red Worm obeys Grand Duchess Medea Lahert without question. All the Caterpillars raised alongside me, myself included, recognized Medea Lahert as our sole master.”
Restlessness spread through the chamber. Waves of anger erupted into sighs throughout the hall.
“The assassin who served Cramnel Lahert was known as the ‘Black Worm.’ He murdered Lady Hern Nugent, former Regent of the North, and attempted to assassinate His Grace the Grand Duke and Sir Arcadia Nugent—only to fall by Sir Nugent’s blade. Cramnel there commanded those atrocities. As a Caterpillar of the South, I knew of the Black Worm’s deeds. And what followed afterward—I experienced firsthand. I warned His Grace of the assassination plot and aided Sir Nugent in defeating the Black Worm.”
Cramnel’s face turned pale as he stared at me. I continued.
“The Red Worm infiltrated the North under the orders of Lady Medea Lahert during her youth. She sought to fracture and destroy the North, and the Red Worm faithfully executed that command. The North trembled greatly, yet we united and overcame the crisis. House Lahert of the South has always aimed to bring down the North. Now that Lady Medea has become Grand Duchess, it is the Red Worm who carries out her will.”
I paused to catch my breath, then spoke again.
“I am certain the one who instigated the war with Suntus is Grand Duchess Medea Lahert.”
The nobles rose from their seats.
“We must arrest every Lahert!”
“Your Majesty! Summon Grand Duchess Medea as a witness!”
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.”

Go Estelle, give it to that brat!! Show her how it’s done!
Christ Jesus… I thought there was a limit to stupidity, but with the emperor, I’m always surprised.
Indeed, common sense is not part of His Majesty’s intellect.
