“You seemed very tense.”
“No, not at all.”
She wanted to appear calm. But instead of responding, Vainka quickly approached with his large, childlike stride and leaned toward her.
―Tap.
What he touched with the tip of his finger was her hand. A hand so tightly clenched it was clearly visible under the dim lighting of the cloudy honeymoon room.
Beneath it, a wrinkled cloth appeared, like broken glass.
“……Ah.”
The startled woman quickly pulled her hand away. Vainka’s laughter grew louder.
“Do you think I’m going to eat you?”
“…….”
She couldn’t say no. After all, he was a demon.
Vainka leveled his eyes with hers.
And whispered in a low voice.
“You said you don’t know about the night.”
A faint smile crossed his lips. His hand brought the soft cloth that looked like a quilt and covered her body with it.
“I’ll have to be careful not to startle you.”
He said, raising his body. Beril flinched once more from the large movement.
―Swish.
The cloth that had wrapped her body slipped with a small sound, sufficient to echo in the silent room.
Vainka looked back at her. As their eyes met, he saw her uncertainty, and then he exhaled a short breath.
“But if you’re startled by such small movements, what should we do?”
He sat down beside her. Then, drawing close to her verdant eyes, he said,
“Let’s promise.”
His clear voice resounded.
“If you reject me tonight, I won’t do anything.”
“……!”
Beril’s eyes widened.
“This night is yours. That’s the original custom of Vainka’s, after all.”
He held out his hand.
“The first week of marriage is ‘to judge whether you’ve chosen your husband well’. Besides, I have to prove that I’m harmless to you, don’t I? So.”
He raised her hand and gave it a brief kiss.
“Is this enough?”
Though she flinched a little, Beril wasn’t surprised. Vainka smiled.
“Then, how about this?”
Slight warmth touched the back of her hand, her wrist.
Was this an act that needed permission?
No, perhaps permission should have been a given.
But in her past life, those who had tried to take her were utterly heedless of such things.
“Isn’t this the duty of a saint, or rather, the Duchess?”
“Aren’t I trying to educate you, since you seem to know nothing about nighttime affairs?”
Duke Orobas had insisted on affairs with others with such absurd words.
“Surely, you don’t mean to say that the act of creating a child is evidence of a demon, do you?”
It turned out that he had already greased the palms of the clergy.
So she couldn’t report him as a demon because of his actions.
She didn’t intend to claim that, but even if she did, it would be ignored.
But it eventually became a rumor through the servants, and the imperial citizens branded him a demon. Of course, along the way, the saint was also rumored to be licentious.
What about Duke Yuvar?
“How dare I lay hands on the Saint.”
He, too, was not in his right mind, insisting that she watch him copulate in front of her.
“Then, starting with this.”
But Vainka was different. He moved carefully. He looked careful as he pulled away every time she flinched.
Yet he looked happy. Did he enjoy… my tension?
It was madness from Vainka’s perspective as well. He was far more wanton than Beril thought.
And he could easily become wanton. He had enough desire for that. But he couldn’t help but consider her reaction.
Every time the clear energy she emitted enveloped him, he felt a dizzying freshness.
“May I loosen it further?”
At Vainka’s words, Beril nodded her head.
Then, the long rodlike decoration that had twisted up her long hair came loose.
More than four decorations were undone by his hand, and her hair, which had been twisted up high, softly landed on her shoulders.
The tension seemed to release as the pulledup hair came down.
That’s how slowly, observing her, he was approaching.
Had she ever received such consideration in her past life?
She did not want to compare, but she could not help but compare.
Humans pretending to be demons and demonlike humans.
“…….”
Through the fallen strands of her hair, she saw the thin sheets covering the soft bed by more than a dozen layers, as if she were sitting on a cloud.
And the thin sheet, moving with a slight ripple even at the slightest movement, made her sensitive.
Furthermore.
―Swooosh.
It wasn’t thick, but the thin sheets that seemed to have been layered by a thousand layers carefully flowed over her body as she moved.
It felt like it could be torn with just a slight movement.
But it didn’t matter, and it wasn’t so weak that it would, but it did. Therefore, her movement became cautious, and she felt the cloth entangle her body.
“Are you uncomfortable?”
With those words, Belled, who is not mentioned in the list of names, picked her up and laid her on the bed.
“Ah.”
She was startled, but she was not very surprised, knowing that he was not behaving menacingly. Smiling, he touched her shoulder and leaned towards her.
“……Ah.”
Flapping, the cloth seemed to be tangled under the hem of her dress.
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.”
