Why did I hear the voice of my deceased lover? And from right behind me?
Aini clenched the handle of the chair tightly. Consequently, an ominous creaking noise came from the wooden chair.
Should… should I turn around? Or should I ask without looking who it is. Call the guard? All sorts of thoughts came up simultaneously.
‘Let’s turn around.’
When the sound no longer came, Aini finally made a decision and slowly turned her body around.
However, due to the high backrest of the chair, there was little to see even if she turned her body directly back. Aini swallowed dry saliva and tilted her body slightly.
But this time too, there was neither a visible person nor a ghost. Nobody.
“Huuh….”
The moment Aini saw it and was relieved.
“It hurts, Aini.”
A voice came from her ears.
“Ah!”
Startled, Aini screamed and squeezed her eyes shut. She always missed Heum’s voice, but the lion’s voice she actually heard was just creepy.
“Your Majesty the Empress! Your Majesty the Empress!”
At that moment, someone shouted while putting their hand on Aini’s arm. Aini opened her eyes wide and gasped for breath. Her heart pounded.
“Your Majesty the Empress, are you okay?”
Aini bulged her eyes and discovered the maids and guards looking at her with frightened faces. The one who touched her arm was the maid.
“Your Majesty, do you feel unwell anywhere?”
When the maid asked again, Aini looked around.
“Your Majesty?”
“He, Heum?”
“Excuse me?”
“Heum?”
Heum wasn’t visible. Even though she heard his voice clearly four times.
Aini looked at the maid. But there was no answer to her question.
“Where did Heum go?”
When Aini asked again, another maid standing next to her cautiously said in a small voice.
“Your Majesty. There are many ears in the palace, so it would be better not to mention Prince Heum’s name.”
“What?”
Aini realized that the maids misunderstood her words and quickly shook her head.
“No, that’s not it. I just heard Heum’s voice. Didn’t you see?”
Neither the maid nor the guards did anything but shake their heads with a face that said, ‘Why is Her Majesty the Empress doing this?’ Among them, there were those who thought Aini missed Heum and looked sad.
That really wasn’t the case. Aini bit her lip. Of course, she missed Heum. She missed him even before she heard his voice.
But if it was an auditory hallucination… Why would it sound so scary?
“No one has entered here, Your Majesty the Empress.”
Seeing Aini with a sullen face, a guard stepped forward and reported.
“The wall on the other side is high and it’s not easy to go in and out, and if you do, it makes a sound. We have been guarding all the other ways like an iron wall. There were no people dozing off, no blind spots, and no gaps even when changing shifts. Really, no one has come here, Your Majesty the Empress.”
Aini walked behind the chair and looked down. The moist grass was pressed down. As if someone had been standing there.
‘After all. Someone came here.’
Aini was about to tell the guards to look at this mark, but she gave up. They all seemed to think they had guarded properly. Even if she showed them the crushed grass now, they wouldn’t believe it.
They must have been sure that the grass was crushed because Aini was standing there.
“Alright. I understand.”
In the end, Aini stopped talking about this. As the maid said, there are many ears in the palace.
Just as she and her father had someone attached to Hyacinth, Hyacinth must have also had someone attached to her. They would indulge in all sorts of extravagant delusions when she talks about Heum.
“Let’s go.”
Aini spat out coldly and turned around.
[This is the time separator]“Should I also participate in the interrogation?”
Tasir asked, but Latil said she would do it herself and it was okay, then ordered them to put the caught people separately in the underground prison.
Previously, it was to prevent the knowledge of the place of the ViceChancellor, but this time it was not for that reason.
The unsettling words murmured by that fox mask. It was because of that word, ‘Lord’.
‘He deliberately said it like that.’
Latil didn’t believe that she was the Lord that only appeared once in 500 years. She was born from her mother’s pain, and a nanny changed her diapers and raised her with formula.
Hundreds of people saw Latil grow up. There was no way she could be the Lord.
‘Surely, some people would be put off by such talk.’
Tasir was very reliable in this matter, but he had once investigated Latil by the Emperor’s order and even suspected her of attempting to assassinate the Emperor.
What if the attackers started saying weird things about Latil again? It was uncertain whether he would show his loyalty to the Emperor or to himself.
‘That foxmask kid. It’s clearly Tula’s minion. All the sly, underhanded tricks are Tula’s specialty, aren’t they?’
“Open the door.”
When Latil, who had changed her clothes, gave the order, the two guards standing in front of the prison opened the closed door. Latil held a torch and entered.
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.”
