Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 39
Lucrezia decided to be shameless.
“Yes, he’s my nephew from my birth family—Zanobi, the son of my second older brother Stefano.”
Previously, the Latin teacher Giovanni, who had visited, was Lucrezia’s fifth cousin, but this time it was an even closer blood relative. She seemed determined to take good care of him.
Arabella, whose house arrest had only recently ended a month ago, insensitively butted in.
“Oh, that ugly older brother?”
“You shut up and sit quietly.”
Lucrezia growled quietly at Arabella from the head of the dining table, and the cowed Arabella buried her nose in her plate and just ate her meal.
“What choice do I have? We don’t have many relatives. If I had any on my paternal side, of course I would have brought them—but since I don’t, I have to do it myself.”
This was a subtle jab at Cardinal de Mare, who, being an orphan, had no paternal relatives at all. True to form, upon hearing this, Cardinal de Mare merely let out a low groan without offering any reply.
“What’s that older brother doing these days?”
In response to Isabella’s question, Lucrezia gave a long-winded answer.
She used phrases like “promising future,” “kind-hearted,” and “diligently preparing for the future,” but stripping away all the flowery language, the truth was he wasn’t even a knight or a squire—he was merely a knight’s page.
A knight’s page, in exchange for occasional martial arts lessons from the knight, performed menial tasks without pay: leading the knight’s horse, helping him don his armor, feeding his mount, and so on.
If a noble boy from a knightly household served as a page, he would typically be promoted to squire around the age of twenty. However, if the son of a family in another profession took up such a role, there was truly no telling when—or if—he would ever be knighted.
In most cases, these boys would drain their parents’ finances for five or even ten years, clinging to dreams of knighthood and social advancement.
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.”
