A few days later. Lexion Ducal House’s morning began with a very light argument.
“Edit. Reverse your decision now. I’ll send someone to the Empress’s Palace immediately.”
“No. I’ve already accepted the maid job. Once I gain access to the palace, it will be easier to investigate who your father is.”
“I can do it.”
“Balter. If you speak, people will be intimidated and shut their mouths. There are many experienced managers in the palace, and if you show your face, you might hear various rumors.”
Balter was not pleased with Edit’s decision. If she were taking the job she liked, he wouldn’t stop her, but being a maid for the Empress was a different matter.
Moreover, it seemed crazy that she had to bend over backward because of him.
Being separated from Edit during this golden honeymoon was more painful.
However, Edit’s logic was flawless, and he had no choice but to mobilize allies.
“Adrian. Say something.”
“Abu!”
“Exactly.”
“Babaa!”
Finding it cute that even the child was involved, Edit burst into a soft laugh.
“It’s just a temporary job. If you ask me to do something like housework, I’ll quit immediately. Don’t worry.”
“If you make a sound, promise to stop even if you breathe.”
“Okay, I got it.”
Edit smiled unintentionally. It wasn’t bad to have someone worry about her to an excessive extent.
As she had always been alone, whether commuting or working overtime, her home had always felt lonely.
“I just want to find out because there are no clues. It’s frustrating.”
In the letter box that Liéret had someone bring, there were numerous letters from men expressing their affections to her.
Among them, there was only one significant letter.
[I received your reply well. I hope you leave with a good man. If you ever need my help, send magic to the place we walked together last night.]Reading the letter, Edit could not help but have reasonable suspicions.
‘A man… No, weren’t there multiple?’
At the time the letter was written, the Second Prince, who had assassinated the Second Prince with poison, was one of the masked individuals.
In this way, she could not figure out who the man in the military uniform that Lady Lea admired was. Her personal curiosity about Lea’s love story continued to grow.
“I’ll be back, Balter. Adrian is also listening well to Daddy.”
“Dadaa.”
“I’ll pick her up later.”
“Don’t come too early, Balter.”
“Is it because it’s been a long time since you went out alone? Our mistress seems a bit happier than usual.”
“That can’t be. It’s a misconception.”
Shrugging her shoulders, Edit lightly kissed the cheeks of the two men and then boarded the carriage for her first day of work.
“Haaam―”
“He even yawns a little.”
After laying Adrian gently in the crib, Balter headed to his study as he began to doze off.
Even though they had often been apart from Edit, it had never been to the extent that his mind was so fixated on her.
The thought of his wife being selected as the Empress’s maid, a position of great influence, was unbearable.
“Damn, I should have gone as Patricia’s maid instead.”
Hearing his muttered complaint, Cassius couldn’t help but burst into laughter. If he missed her so much, should he act as a maid with such a stout body?
“Oh, no. It’s impossible. Didn’t the wise butler of the Portrion family always say? Employees should follow only one master.”
“Stick with the first lady and listen to the sermons of the child who went to the monastery together side by side?”
“Still, he had his principles. In the end, he revealed Lady Sophia’s sin, but…”
“What kind of principle is that?”
“Anyway, Lord Portrion was already the stable keeper and became a knight, so he cannot have another lord’s maid.”
“Then you go. As the Empress’s maid.”
“…I would rather serve a hostess like Lady Edit whenever possible.”
Cassius said firmly. He knew that serving a boss with a stiff attitude or a frustrating boss did not suit his temperament.
“Why would you bring Edit? Even if you do, I won’t let her.”
He seemed to have no intention of yielding Edit, even in jest. But seeing the burning gaze, Cassius thought to himself.
‘Whether it’s separation anxiety or attachment, it looks like things will get busy for a while.’
The Balter he knew was not the kind of person to tremble just because Edit was placed near the water.
On the contrary, he was undoubtedly contemplating paying back several times the uneasiness he felt.
“Have you secured recruits for Viscount Humphrey?”
“Yes. Previously, the Viscount’s territory… was talked about as if you were injured.”
“The falling rock was painful.”
Balter replied brazenly, even though it hadn’t touched a single grain of sand.
“Anyway, since Lexion has questioned Humphrey Viscount’s responsibility for that incident, he has been sent to the monastery for now.”
“No complaints?”
“Grateful for saving his life, he repeatedly asked to be utilized and pleaded with us to seek revenge against the Gouturk side.”
“It’s not funny at all.”
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.”
