Melita’s conclusion at the end of the brief examination was this.
“Your Grace is very healthy. You seem a bit thin, though… Have you experienced these symptoms before?”
“Once.”
“When was that?”
“During the palace ball.”
Melita inquired about the food and items used that day, and Reneb answered sincerely.
“Hmm… I don’t see anything special.”
Lines appeared on Melita’s furrowed brow.
It made sense if it was during the palace ball.
She would have tightened her waist to look thinner in her dress, which could have caused breathing difficulties.
But Reneb was now wearing a loose dress.
Unable to find the cause, Melita’s silence deepened.
Just then, Kieren brought the tea.
Perhaps curious about the examination results, Kieren lingered nearby.
Melita, who had taken a quick glance at Kieren, picked up the items scattered about and stood up.
“Your Grace is very healthy. I shall take my leave for today.”
“Thank you for today, Miss Melita.”
“You’re welcome. Ah, I recommend increasing your food intake a bit.”
With a warm smile, Melita turned away.
As she left, Kieren spoke to Reneb.
“I’m really relieved to hear that you’re healthy, Your Grace. I was quite worried when Miss Melita first arrived.”
Kieren mixed relief and worry on his face. Reneb gently reassured him.
“It’s just His Majesty’s concern for the guests’ health, so don’t worry.”
“Yes, but I didn’t know you were acquainted with Lord Wevering.”
Walking towards the sofa, Reneb turned her head toward Kieren.
“Do you mean Miss Melita is Lord Wevering?”
Kieren blinked at Reneb’s question.
“I thought you were very close with the Lord, as you called him by his first name. Weren’t you?”
Somehow.
Having been introduced to her simply as Melita, Reneb first thought she was a commoner.
There are often cases among commoners where they can’t possess a surname.
But it was clear that Melita possessed the unique atmosphere of the nobility.
Firstly, her upright and proper posture was something that could be said to be common among the nobles who had been thoroughly educated since childhood.
Moreover, while maintaining her manners, she showed me an informal attitude.
All my questions were resolved when I found out that Melita was of noble birth.
“Then, did Lady Melita inherit the title of Earl of Weverling?”
“Yes.”
“How many more women in Bashuker have succeeded to titles besides Lady Melita?”
“I’m not exactly sure, but there should be a few more. However, among the high nobility, Earl Weverling is the only one.”
Seeing Reneb’s intrigued listening manner, Kiernan added an explanation.
“It would have been a few years ago. The previous Earl Weverling passed away suddenly and there were no legitimate successors other than Lady Melita.”
“……”
“Every bloodline in the defense barrier coveted the position of the head of the Weverling family. It was noisy for a while, but the situation ended when His Majesty recognized Lady Melita as the Earl of Weverling.”
“His Majesty?”
Melita’s appearance gave Reneb much to ponder.
A woman holding both the profession of a physician and the status of an Earl in this conservative era.
“Yes, could it be that her connection with His Majesty led her to become his personal physician?”
Just then, Amber burst into the reception room.
“Haah, I am really late, aren’t I? I did hurry, but….”
Amber, holding a tray filled with Gugelhupf, stood there, taking deep breaths.
“Huh? I don’t see Lady Melita.”
“Ah….”
Reneb let out a soft sigh.
What to do with Melita who had already left the reception room, after having Amber run such a difficult errand?
“We might as well enjoy it amongst ourselves, since something urgent seemed to have come up.”
Reneb looked at Kiernan.
“Yes, let’s eat together.”
Quick-witted Kiernan agreed, and Amber put down the tray and began to eat.
“Shall we?”
Amber’s eyes twinkled as she spooned some Gugelhupf onto Reneb’s plate.
Contrary to her words, her mouth seemed to shrink, as if pleased.
“The shape is pretty, and it smells incredibly good! Please try some, my lady.”
Reneb shared the Gugelhupf with the two.
The subtle Earl Grey flavor wasn’t too sweet and suited her taste well.
“Come to think of it, you really liked this when you were little.”
“Me?”
“Yes, don’t you remember?”
Suddenly, she recalled the time when she had just possessed this world. Initially thinking the original story was about childcare, since she possessed the body of the young Reneb.
But it wasn’t.
Reneb was the type who easily forgot past memories, both before and after the possession.
Unlike the recent awkward encounters with objects or places that reminded her of her past life, that is.
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.”
