It was almost the same as going against a vow to God, so a second wedding ceremony was impossible. Therefore, a wedding with the government could not exist.
That absolute thing also changed before the emperor. If the emperor permits it, even the temple will follow.
If Callis obtains permission, she will officially become a member of the ducal family.
All kinds of luxurious scenes passed through Helena’s mind.
In her imagination, she rode an expensive wedding carriage, receiving the cheers of people.
All the media were talking about her, and those who ignored her were looking at her with eyes of admiration.
‘Just imagining it makes me happy!’
(This is a time separator.)
Chloe and Callis stopped in front of the emperor’s presence. The guard stepped aside as Callis whispered softly.
“Chloe. It would be best to do it properly today. In front of the emperor, you wouldn’t act foolishly, would you?”
He whispered, keeping the previous banquet in mind.
It meant not to ignore Callis, not to reveal that the relationship between the two had cooled.
Stupid. Chloe was not a fool who could not distinguish between public and private like someone.
At the Duke of Mollian’s banquet, she had many supporters, so she could act freely. She could not dare to be rude in front of the emperor.
“The duke should also refrain from foolishness.”
Chloe, who was looking at the anxious Callis, chuckled soon after.
Mind your own business.
She never said it, but if Chloe’s words were shortened, that’s exactly what it meant.
Embarrassed, Callis gritted his teeth without even losing his temper.
‘It’s me who has to do something here.’
The last way to divorce him.
At the optimal moment, she met the most necessary person. Chloe thought this was the last lifeline given by God.
She would stay in the royal palace for a week at most. It was impossible to get a divorce approval within that time, so she at least had to win the emperor over to her side.
The emperor, at least, should not be handed over to Callis like the regent.
Tense, Chloe took a deep breath and knocked on the door. The door opened immediately after the elegant knock, like playing a percussion instrument.
A long red carpet, strewn with rose petals.
Chloe began to walk, standing tall.
Soundlessly. The stride of her foot could not be too wide or too narrow.
As she moved forward with tension, the end was approaching. Chloe and Callis knelt and sat at the end of the carpet.
“We greet the sun of the empire.”
“Yes. Thank you for coming on such sudden notice.”
The commander of the empire and ruler of the world, the emperor greeted in return.
“You know there is an armistice anniversary between the two nations in a few months.”
“Of course.”
“I plan to hold a festival to commemorate it. I think you will be needed then.”
A chance to see the emperor again in a few months. If she utilized the festival well, she might have had the opportunity to travel to and from the empire a few times before that.
“It’s an honor if you need us, Your Majesty.”
“Saying that is my honor. Lift your heads and face me now.”
The two people raised their heads and faced Koon, who was sitting on the throne. The Emperor looked down at them with a slanted posture, resting his chin on his armrest.
The Emperor, who wore a mask to avoid revealing his identity, was no different today.
Whether the rumor that the face he was hiding was handsome was true or not, an outstanding atmosphere flowed out even with a mask covering half of his face.
“Yes. You both look pale. Fortunately, you look well. I’ve thought about a preparation period of about ten days, but tell me your opinions.”
“If Your Majesty needs us, we will gladly accompany you no matter how many days it takes.”
“I’m thankful even if it’s just words. I have prepared a room for you two, so rest well today.”
Soon, two servants came to the sides of the two people. After finishing a simple greeting, they could return to the room assigned by the Emperor.
“Ah, right.”
That was when.
The Emperor of the Priheid Empire, Koon, added as if he had forgotten something.
“I would like to have a separate conversation with the Duchess, so please stay for a while.”
At the Emperor’s request, Chloe raised her head. Koon, who was closing his eyes as if everything was bothersome, also opened them this time.
The abyss beyond the mask they faced soon after.
‘……Koon?’
Having confirmed the bloodstained eyes, she suddenly recalled another person.
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.”
