Love Me Just Once (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 89
Ophelia raised her head and looked at the one who had spoken. As everyone had expected, it was the Head of the Onde Family who voiced his opposition.
The man with ash-gray hair, sensing all eyes upon him, continued to express his opinion.
“The royal family’s private army is already maintained at a sufficient scale. Expanding it further would be a waste of the royal treasury. Moreover, isn’t this bill being introduced far too abruptly? Such a significant matter demands discussion over several weeks.”
The Head of the Chesa Family immediately countered his argument.
“It seems to me we’ve had ample time for discussion. Wasn’t the expansion of the royal private army already debated before?”
“And each time, it was rejected. Now is not the time to expand the military—we must focus on economic stability. Especially Edegroon and the northern territories, which must stockpile provisions during harvest season, shouldn’t they? Our budget should go toward stockpiling supplies, not increasing private soldiers.”
For a moment, the two men locked eyes. Ophelia set down the document she hadn’t finished reading and observed their confrontation.
It was the Head of the Onde Family who looked away first. He then glanced around the round table at everyone present.
“Since this matter has such a clear conclusion, I believe a discussion before voting on the bill is unnecessary.”
That had likely been his intention from the start. Ophelia recalled what Idren had told her before the assembly began.
“There will be a debate before the vote. If one side’s argument seems excessively unreasonable during the debate, the other side may refuse to proceed with the vote.”
He had added,
“But the Head of the Chesa Family will handle the debate appropriately—you needn’t worry.”
Ophelia watched the woman who, just as Idren had foreseen, spoke up first.
“I agree we must attend to economic stability. But isn’t the recently raised toll on the Saha Canal a suitable alternative? With higher canal tolls, exports will decrease and the domestic market will flourish.”
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.”
