The Duke's Flower is Precarious (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 64
Beyond the terrace stretched a vast outdoor garden. The Grand Duke Elyos’s palace was far grander than the grand ducal residence in the capital.
Aidel leaned against the windowsill, gazing toward the distant main gate. She had now recovered enough strength to move about freely.
“Your Highness, I’ll step in for a moment.”
The person entering the Grand Duchess’s room was an elderly gentleman with immaculate white hair and a neatly tailored suit. He bowed respectfully toward Aidel.
“My apologies for the late greeting. I am Pierre Delpe, the palace steward.”
Pierre had been waiting all this time for the Grand Duchess to regain her strength. Upon hearing that she could now move about, he immediately came to formally pay his respects.
“I’m glad to meet you. If you’re from House of Count Delpe, might you be related to Marline…?”
“She is my humble daughter. I’ve always worried whether she has been diligently serving Your Highness at the grand ducal residence.”
“Not at all. I’ve always relied on Marline and received her help.”
“Your kind words humble me deeply.”
Pierre beamed with a warm smile at the Grand Duchess’s modest reply. As the head of House Delpe—the distinguished vassal family of the former Duke Roman—and as the long-serving steward of this palace, Pierre was also Marline’s father, the head maid at the grand ducal residence.
Though he had kept up with news of the Grand Duchess through Marline’s letters and newspapers, meeting her in person stirred fresh emotions within him.
Though her demeanor differed from that of the Late Empress Meriel, Pierre now understood Marline’s claim that their inner natures were alike.
Surely, any ordinary lady would have been emotionally shaken after enduring such hardship. Yet the Grand Duchess greeted him with a gentle expression and unshaken grace, revealing a strength of character far beyond her delicate appearance.
“I’m told you’ve recovered remarkably quickly and can now move about freely.”

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.”

Can’t wait for second prince to die . How dare he touch grand Duchess with his filthy hand.
I hope Kareon kills first prince . But maybe that’s not going to happen because of diplomatic relations between kingdoms. If at that moment aidel would have remained unconscious ,second prince definitely would have died .It’s unfortunate , that bastard should have died on spot.
I am blushing even though I don’t know what withdrawal symptoms is.
