Bein also jumped to his feet, apparently having the same thought as Dehan.
“Grant me military control. I’ll solve it right away.”
At the hasty conclusion, when Bein had spoken that far, Icar slowly opened his mouth.
“Today, Countess Siren and Viscount Belkein had tea together, right?”
Although not in detail, the guests’ activities were being reported.
“Yes? Yes. I heard so.”
When the names of the two people were mentioned out of nowhere, Bein wore a stunned expression.
“Investigate Viscount Belkein’s usual behavior in Venistan and report back.”
“Yes, Your Highness! I’ll investigate immediately.”
Bein and Dehan said simultaneously.
(This is a time separator.)
Reneb was reading a book, sitting on a long sofa in front of a large window where the sunlight poured in.
“How is the temperature inside?”
Kiernen, who had been out to deliver the laundry, quietly asked.
“Just right.”
As Reneb smiled faintly, Kiernen’s cheeks flushed as he spoke.
“If you need anything, call me anytime. Lady.”
“I will. Thank you.”
Trying not to disturb Reneb’s reading time, Kiernen quietly opened the door.
“Huh?”
Then a slightly surprised voice of Kiernen was heard. Reneb looked up at the door.
Above Kiernen’s head, the face of a young man peeped out.
“Ex, excuse me.”
As Kiernen quickly stepped aside, the neatly dressed Viscount Belkein, wearing a beige jacket with a white cravat, appeared fully in view.
“Viscount Belkein?”
Taken aback by the unexpected situation, Viscount Belkein rubbed his forehead and spoke.
“I, well. I was about to knock when the door suddenly opened, I didn’t expect it.”
“Oh, you must have been surprised.”
Reneb put a bookmark on the page she was reading and stood up from the sofa.
“If you have time, could we talk for a moment?”
Taken by surprise by Viscount Belkein’s visit, Reneb soon nodded her head.
“Could you wait a moment?”
“Certainly.”
Viscount Belkein smiled and closed the bedroom door. Kiernen brought a pair of shoes at lightning speed.
Reneb took off her soft slippers and put on pointedtoed shoes.
As she left the bedroom, Viscount Belkein was standing idly in the hallway.
“I see you were reading, I hope I haven’t inconvenienced you.”
“I was about to take a break; my eyes were getting tired.”
“Then, I am relieved.”
Velkein, the young viscount, smiled. Reneb responded with a faint smile.
“Shall we talk while we walk a bit?”
“Yes.”
Velkein, the young viscount, gave a big nod.
At that sight, Reneb momentarily thought of a gentle and likable retriever.
Thinking of a person as a dog?
It can’t be. Reneb quickly erased the image in her head and took a step forward.
(This is a time separator.)
“Here’s the investigation report on Velkein, the young viscount, that Your Majesty mentioned.”
Icar dropped his eyes to the document handed by Druhan.
“The father is Duke Velkein, and the mother is a princess of Venistan……”
Icar’s one eyebrow twitched as he read through quite a detailed and extensive amount in a single breath.
Druhan, who had been standing stiffly, slightly bowed his head towards the document.
“Why is that, Your Majesty? Is there a problem with the report?”
“It seems there are very few good men in Venistan.”
With that, Icar tapped a part of the document.
“Young Viscount Velkein is currently regarded as the number one bridegroom among the unmarried young ladies of Venistan.”
Druhan began to consider what response to give.
‘Why is His Majesty focusing on that passage?’
It makes sense. It was a phrase he had hesitated whether to erase when investigating.
As Druhan’s silence lingered, Bain, who had been quietly continuing his document work, intervened.
“Your Majesty is right. I’ve heard that there are many delicate and meticulous men in Venistan. And also……”
Then followed words about Venistan’s men respecting, cherishing women, and knowing their hearts well.
Druhan’s head tilted slightly. His Majesty said that there were few good men in Venistan.
But interpreting Bain’s words now, wasn’t it all praise for the men of Venistan?
“However, being slim and not flamboyant is not a condition of a good man. Therefore, Your Majesty’s statement that there are very few good men in Venistan is justified.”
Bain finished speaking, slightly lifting his chin with a confident expression.
Unlike Venistan, the men of Bashuker were boasting a physical, superior expression, saying they were healthy and superior.
Icar, who had momentarily shown a confused expression at Bain’s words, dropped his eyes to the document again.
“Your Majesty, doesn’t this part seem very suspicious?”
Bain, who had been looking at the document next to Icar, pointed to a part of it.
“Young Viscount Velkein determined that the Venistan princess was too young to travel far and volunteered to go to Bashuker in her place.”
“What’s that?”
“The age of the princess of Venistan is nine.”
“Right.”
Icar gestured as if to say go on.
“Think about it. You, me, and Druhan were thrown into the mountains without a weapon, naked, at the age of six.”
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.”
