Watching the retreating backs of Lucius and the knights, Reneb furrowed her brows.
“Daringly… Who on earth?”
(This is a time separator.)
Reneb shouted as soon as she stepped into the mansion.
“Patrick! Patrick?”
“Miss. Young Master Patrick is out.”
The butler who ran to Reneb’s voice informed her of Patrick’s whereabouts, but she was still not reassured.
“Where’s my father?”
“Young Master Patrick and the lord are out together….”
If neither of them, who had done such a dangerous act?
If the person who had nearly injured the royal body had been discovered, they might have lost their life on the spot.
“Do you know where they went?”
“The lord has gone to the royal palace, and Young Master Patrick is at the salon.”
“Really? Then check if any of the servants were away from their posts earlier.”
“……Yes?”
“Do it now.”
“Yes! I will do so, Miss.”
The butler hurried away, leaving Reneb alone. She bit her lip.
Since Patrick and her father had evidence of being out, they should be fine.
But she needed to be prepared for Lucius to protest later.
It’s not time to reveal this yet, but she has drawn Lucius’s suspicion…
Reneb gnashed her lips as she looked out the window at Lucius’s faithful dogs, who were prancing around the mansion as if they owned it.
Then a maid approached with a bouquet.
“Miss, the flowers are so fresh and pretty. His Highness prepared them especially for you. His Highness is so romantic…….”
The slightly giddy and talkative maid swallowed her saliva as she saw Reneb’s cold expression.
“……Shall I put them in a vase?”
“No. Leave it there.”
“Yes, Miss.”
As soon as the maid left, Reneb threw the bouquet on the table to the floor.
Then she stomped on it furiously. She even jumped on the bouquet.
The flowers had no guilt. Only the one who brought them was guilty.
(This is a time separator.)
Only after confirming the whereabouts of the mansion’s employees did the royal knights leave the mansion.
Fortunately, all the employees were diligently at their posts, so the knights could not find any further fault.
After the knights left, the sky had already begun to darken.
“Patrick, Father, if not the mansion’s employees, who could it have been…….”
Reneb repeatedly pondered as she headed for the scene of the incident.
Perhaps half of the mind was to find a clue, and the other half was to soothe a complicated heart.
When Reneb arrived near the villa. A deep male voice came from somewhere.
“Going for a walk alone at this late hour without a maid, you are truly a fearless lady.”
Though shocked, Reneb calmly turned towards the direction the voice came from.
“……There, who’s there?”
Then, at a distance, a black figure jumped down from a tree.
It was a tall man, at least two spans taller than Reneb. As he walked into the light, his face was fully revealed.
“……!”
At the sight of the man’s face, Reneb’s eyes widened.
‘The Emperor of Bashuker!’
Reneb regretted coming out alone without a maid or an escort knight.
But she soon realized that those things had no real significance.
If someone had trespassed into the Siren Duke’s residence, known for its ironclad security, having a few escorts would not have been of any help.
‘Why is this person in the Siren Duke’s residence?’
She was confused.
As Reneb, feeling fearful, took a slight step back, Icar stood still in his place.
“You don’t need to be that scared. I have no intention of harming you.”
Reneb swallowed her dry saliva as she looked over the man.
Disheveled black hair.
Eyes the color of twilight, perfectly proportioned features.
A long and thick neck exuding masculinity.
Broad and solid shoulders and thick arms that couldn’t be fully concealed by a black shirt.
His overpowering presence, true to the rumors of him being a warmonger, was formidable.
“You wouldn’t even shake like that if you ran into a monster. Where has all the spirit gone, the spirit with which you enthusiastically volunteered for study abroad?”
Icar, with his arms crossed, asked, tilting his head.
Although she already knew his identity, she couldn’t pretend to know him without having been introduced.
So Reneb acted as if she didn’t know him.
“……Who are you, reveal your identity.”
Though she didn’t want to show how scared she was, she couldn’t stop her voice from trembling like a lamb.
“Me? I am…… the escort who will be responsible for your safety until you arrive in Bashuker.”

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.”
