Both the escort knight and Latil were on high alert, suspecting a potential attack. However, one of the strangers raised an open hand towards the sky, signaling they held no weapons. The question that followed was surprisingly polite.
“It seems you’re in a difficult situation. Is there anything we can assist with?”
At this, the knight breathed a sigh of relief and expressed his gratitude. However, Latil froze in place.
“Hyacinth…?”
The owner of that voice was indeed Hyacinth.
“!”
Though her voice was barely above a whisper, Hyacinth seemed to have heard it, as he halted abruptly.
Latil let go of her sword and stared at the cloaked man with wide, disbelieving eyes.
The man gazed down at her from atop his horse, reached a hand to the rim of his cloak and slowly pushed it back. The face revealed was indeed Hyacinth’s, and he looked as shocked as she did.
“Latil?”
Caught off guard by this unexpected encounter, the escort knight stared at Latil and Hyacinth, utterly confused.
Hyacinth stared at Latil, his mouth agape, then with an angry expression, he dismounted his horse. He approached and stood at a distance, seething with anger.
“Why are you here? And why did you bring only one knight with you, it’s dangerous?”
“The same goes for you. You’re also here with only one knight.”
At Latil’s retort to his contradictory worry, Hyacinth fell silent.
Observing this, the knight that accompanied Hyacinth awkwardly dismounted his horse and bowed to Latil.
“Emperor Latrasil, greetings.”
“……Alright.”
Upon this, the knight accompanying Latil quickly paid his respects to Hyacinth.
“Emperor Hyacinth, greetings.”
The expressions on both knights’ faces were strikingly similar.
In her perplexity, Latil let out a small sigh, turned her head to the side, and muttered under her breath. Of all the people she could run into at a time like this…
Watching Latil’s profile, Hyacinth suppressed his emotions and called his knight.
“Knight Rosetta.”
“Yes, your majesty.”
“Help that knight repair the carriage.”
“Yes.”
As Hyacinth’s knight and Latil’s knight exchanged a nod, Latil’s knight quickly made his way to the broken carriage.
As both knights moved away, Hyacinth and Latil naturally found themselves standing a bit apart.
Once they were far enough apart that their conversation wouldn’t be overheard, Hyacinth asked in a voice much lower than usual.
“Why are you here? Don’t you know it’s dangerous to wander around alone? You were always wandering around freely even when you were a princess, and now that you’re an empress, you’re still wandering around?”
“You’re still as contradictory as ever. Who are you to talk? This is, after all, our territory, and you brought your knight over from another country, didn’t you?”
“Where are you going?”
“Your country.”
Upon hearing her response, Hyacinth closed his eyes tightly and rubbed his temples.
“Right. As you say, it’s not my place to say anything. You’re doing exactly what I’m doing.”
In her irritation, Latil scrunched up her face, kicked the ground with the toe of her shoe, and asked.
“Why are you leaving now? The emissary from your country is still in our country, isn’t he?”
“There was an urgent matter.”
“What about the emissary?”
“They’ll do their job and return.”
“……”
“You? Why are you sneaking into our country?”
As Hyacinth’s eyes narrowed even further, he looked almost squinty.
“You’re not coming to see me, since I’m here.”
“What’s it to you?”
“Should it really be alright for the Emperor of another country to sneak into our own?”
“Haven’t you learned to ignore an exgirlfriend’s antics?”
“Everyone says that, but no one truly forgets their past lovers. They only claim to forget because they can’t do anything else. Just like someone I know.”
“Are you talking about yourself, by any chance?”
“Does a pig only see another pig? Or are you just seeing yourself in my words, Latil?”
“So, you’re calling yourself a pig then?”
While Latil and Hyacinth were arguing, biting at each other’s words, the Imperial Knights of both empires were looking at each other with mutual sympathy. It wasn’t uncommon for any nation to have unpredictable superiors.
In any case, the two emperors, who had been arguing childishly for a while, finally decided that this was going to be endless just about when the carriage was repaired.
What could they possibly gain from fighting over something like this here? Hyacinth couldn’t send Latil away, and Latil couldn’t send Hyacinth away either.
Moreover, both of them had to rush to Karisen, hence they had to take the same shortcut.
“…..”
“…..”
After a few exchanges of glances, Latil and Hyacinth reluctantly got on the carriage.
[This is the time separator]For a while, the carriage kept rattling, but Latil was more shaken up, unable to distinguish whether it was the carriage or her head that was shaking.
Hyacinth, too, after picking a fight so well, fell silent as soon as he sat facetoface in the carriage.

Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.

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.”
