It was the right thing to say. Just because they were family, he couldn’t simply ask to cover up all this situation.
K was conflicted.
Should he speak honestly or mix in lies?
The conclusion was quick. Even if he deceived Eldy now, Eldy would soon learn the truth.
“There was a small incident earlier.”
K explained what had happened with Piamondo Duke and Rishi to Eldy.
Holding his fist and standing crookedly, Eldy listened to K’s explanation. He glanced at Rishi, who was sitting in a chair, then shook his head.
“Don’t talk nonsense, K. What you’re saying now sounds like saying my sister-in-law can handle artifacts. Isn’t that right, Jamie?”
Jamie wasn’t in a situation to respond right now. Unusually shocked, Jamie, who was never surprised, was staring blankly at Rishi without even breathing.
Eldy tapped Jamie’s shoulder.
“Hey, Jamie. Why are you making such a face? If you react like that, K’s words seem so true.”
“Captain, Iris… can really… handle this… artifact? Especially at this level?”
“Yeah, Jamie. If not, I can’t explain this situation.”
“This can’t be…”
Jamie staggered.
Eldy frowned.
“Do you believe that, Jamie? It doesn’t make sense. I get that my brother wants to paint a good picture of his sister-in-law, make her look like a capable woman. But this is too much. Handling an artifact? At this level? It’s just that damn artifact exerting its power because it couldn’t overcome her nature.”
“Rishi wasn’t asleep, Eldy.”
“…!”
“And even though it was brief, I fell asleep.”
“Really…!”
“Yeah, Eldy. I’m a Guardian. I couldn’t neutralize the power of the artifact. Even if the artifact naturally emitted explosive power, it couldn’t overcome my power.”
The artifact couldn’t overcome the neutralizing power possessed by the Guardian. To surpass the neutralization power of the Guardian, the person handling the artifact had to borrow the power of someone else. And it had to be a very strong power.
Rishi had used the Sleeve Stone, and the fact that it made even K, a Guardian, fall asleep meant that Rishi’s power in handling the artifact surpassed K.
Eldy touched his forehead with one hand.
“No, this can’t be.”
“Whether it makes sense or not, the explanation is over. Now, let’s focus on handling this situation.”
As soon as K firmly stated this, Jamie spoke.
“Blame it on the Lambar Tribe.”
The Lambar Tribe was a barbaric tribe living deep in the southwestern jungle. Despite being a barbaric tribe, they held considerable power, equivalent to a small country.
“Lambar Tribe is fine. These days, they are collaborating with the Alzeraki Kingdom and advancing north. The cities bordering the southern jungle suffer greatly due to the Lambar Tribe. The Empire is also concerned about the Lambar Tribe. Lately, the Empire has been troubled by the Lambar Tribe.”
Eldy also spoke of information he knew as he escaped from confusion.
Jamie interjected, “Considering that the Alzeraki Kingdom wants to be the suzerain and the Emperor of the Gavizar Empire must be uneasy, it’s not strange for the Green family, which has lightly stepped into the Gavizar Empire, to be attacked by the Lambar Tribe.”
“We’ll have to suppress them.”
Jamie nodded at K’s words.
“Yes, Captain. As the Emperor, he must feel relieved as if removing an eyesore like the Lambar Tribe, even if it’s just an ailment. Even if he feels uneasy about the Sleep Incident, he’ll pretend not to know. The nobles gathered here are the same.”
“Moreover, if I, the Vice Commander of the Holy Order, say I will participate in the suppression, even the Emperor will dispel any suspicions. He wouldn’t dare to doubt me, a member of the Sacred Nation.”
“Alright. This incident was caused by the Lambar Tribe. Jamie, you’ve thought about what to tell the guests, right?”
“Of course, Captain.”
“Before waking up the guests, we need to find out the extent of the influence of the Sleeve Stone. Jamie.”
Jamie nodded and instantly transformed into a large eagle.
Watching Jamie soar into the sky, Eldy asked, “Does your sister-in-law know everything too?”
“Yeah. There are no secrets between spouses.”
“You don’t need to add that extra bit. It’s disgusting.”
K chuckled.
Soon, Jamie returned and folded her wings, sitting in front of K. Jamie looked up at K and said, “The entire city of Londervan is asleep. Not only people but also animals.”
K swallowed a sigh.
He didn’t know that the influence of the Sleeve Stone had reached the entire city.
How much power did Rishi actually possess?
No, even if she used this level of power, was it reasonable that she only felt drained of strength, with no major harm to her body?
With Rishi looking worriedly at him, K couldn’t reveal his hesitation.
Addressing K, who barely managed to control his expression, Jamie said, “Have we screwed up, Captain?”

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.”
