“Truly ruthless.”
On the way back to the duke’s residence after escorting the mouse from the South, only the two men, Jillian and Creta, remained. Creta didn’t hide his disdainful voice.
“Ruthless?”
“A moment ago, didn’t you involve Cartan and the Termina Imperial Family?”
“I would never.”
Jillian responded with an unjust tone to Creta’s words.
“I asked because it didn’t make sense logically. The owner of the prosperous South, why would he bother with the Duchess? How is that ruthless?”
A lie.
Creta muttered to himself, making it sound as if he had heard everything Jillian had said.
“Did you not know that you were saying it in a way that could be easily misunderstood?”
“Misunderstood. It’s the truth.”
“It’s a guess that can be easily misunderstood.”
“Why did I do that?”
“To show your merciless side.”
With Creta’s spirited response, Jillian only smiled faintly, not denying it.
“Even though the Duke could handle it.”
“He could?”
“But there’s no need for that.”
Following Jillian’s insinuations, Creta continued to explain with a smirk.
“Anyway, someday both sides need to be sorted out. If you keep entangling them like this, they might end up fighting and annihilating themselves.”
Creta Barhan was clever.
With just a word, he had read all the ominous intentions for a moment.
“That seems like a far-off future event.”
“But, today, didn’t you make it difficult for Cartan to easily control people? Since we’re already involved with the Termina Imperial Family, if we act recklessly, it might become genuinely unfavorable.”
“I see.”
“That’s right! Just like saying it’s someone else’s business… By the way, was today’s sudden walk because of this?”
Creta did not hide his expression of dissatisfaction with Jillian.
“No.”
“Not?”
It seemed like he had seriously misunderstood something.
Today’s walk was not planned.
Last night’s incident was stuck in his head, and he came out to cool off his heated emotions.
With his mind filled with Bianca, it felt like it could burst at any moment.
‘I haven’t even properly tasted it yet.’
Unable to resist the overflowing greed, when he let it go for a moment, his two cheeks blushed as he looked up at himself.
Knowing nothing.
Really, not knowing anything, he almost lost his mind to the point where he had to let go.
Although he had let it go reluctantly, the sight haunted Jillian’s mind all day long, and he felt like his head was about to explode.
And then, he encountered the mouse on the way out.
Just circling around without taking action, daring to reveal dirty fangs?
Contrary to his neat appearance, Jillian’s inner self was dark, and he seethed violently.
“How long will it take to catch them all?”
“Well… Won’t it take a long time? Anyway, those guys can’t escape anywhere in the blizzard.”
“Afternoon?”
“Do you know that the sun has already set?”
“Exaggeration. Anyway, those guys are ‘outsiders.'”
Without knowing anything, and with nowhere to go.
With unfamiliar faces, there’s no place to hide.
They can be caught easily.
“I don’t like that you say it so easily. I told you, unlike the Duke, I’m just an ordinary, normal person.”
“Are you calling me a monster?”
“When did I say that! I’m just expressing my inability to follow your abilities that don’t seem human.”
“Not a complaint, but…”
“Please show some consideration!”
“It’s not a request for consideration; it seems more like an order. A knight giving orders to his owner. Can I survive being so scary?”
“Duke!”
Creta’s agitated voice echoed many times until they arrived at the Duke’s residence, the office.
“Don’t you ever think that you’re being too cruel?”
“Well, catch them all before dinner.”
“Duke! This is truly an unreasonable order.”
Creta was genuinely angry.
However, aside from that, as those who targeted the Duchess were despicable, Creta organized a search team as soon as he returned.
“And just before the sun completely set, the underground prison of the Duke’s residence welcomed guests after a long time. More than expected. ‘What brings you here?’ A time long past the rising of the moon. Alec came to find Jillian. Even though it was late at night, Alec was neatly dressed without a single wrinkle. If there was anything different, it might be the monocle. ‘I’ve come to ask about the expedition.’ ‘What’s the matter?’ ‘This time, the Armor Guild is also going on an expedition.'”
Jillian placed the documents he was holding on the desk and stood up.
“So, the City Lord is going to join the battle. Does the Housekeeper want to rampage as well?”
“No.”
“Then?”
Jillian’s gaze towards Alec turned cold. It was a familiar vein. Despite not completely trusting how deeply committed it was to ‘Valloc,’ he had it in front of him for now. If a problem arose, he could just get rid of it.
“Let it remain in its nature.”
“Did I give a separate order?”
“Weren’t you thinking it wouldn’t remain in its nature?”
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.”
