Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 339
Alfonso simply smiled faintly in response to Cesare’s question, offering no answer.
“I’ll get up first, then.”
Alfonso rose briskly from his chair. Cesare dared not press the legitimate royal heir right before Leo III—yet his hazel eyes trembled violently with agitation.
Duke Cesare had hastily concluded his reclusive life in the Pisano domain and rushed back to the capital solely because of Princess Bianca’s debutante ball.
Of course, it wasn’t out of any noble intention to celebrate his cousin’s formal entry into society.
– “Countess de Mare has apparently secured the position of chaperone for the Princess of Taranto.”
When he first heard this news, Cesare had merely laughed it off, thinking his mother had finally gotten what she deserved. He had paid little mind even to Rubina’s repeated letters urging him, “Return to the capital.”
He simply wanted to forget the devastating heartbreak he’d suffered for the first time in his life. As long as he didn’t face it, he wouldn’t have to acknowledge the painful reality. How convenient!
Yet what finally made him lift his heavy rear from his seat was the following line:
– “Thanks to Duchess Rubina’s staunch opposition, Countess de Mare was assigned not as chaperone but only the role of ‘guida.’ Prince Alfonso himself will serve as the Princess’s guardian, filling the vacant chaperone position.”
‘Mother meddled again!’
This was utterly unbearable. Cesare’s eyes went wild.
‘Planning to cling to each other under the pretense of ball preparations?’
Though Ariadne and Alfonso hadn’t intended it that way—so Cesare’s assumption about their motive was off—the practical outcome of his suspicion was chillingly accurate.
Because the Pisano domain bordered the frontier, news that both the guardian and the ‘guida’ would accompany the Princess of Taranto’s debutante ball reached the Duke far too late.
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.”
