Shailo, wearing white gloves, snapped his fingers twice. Upon doing so, Shopen, who had frozen in place, regained freedom, his body unfreezing.
“I apologize. It wasn’t intentional. It’s because of the protection spell cast on me.”
Shailo laughed cheerfully and extended his hand to Shopen. Shopen had a perplexed expression, but I subtly nodded. It meant not to be hostile.
“I wanted to come sooner, but I was tracking the flow of demons and got delayed.”
“Oh, demons gathering in one place?”
“How did you know? Ah! I guess the information has already come in.”
Shailo, having finished shaking hands with Shopen, looked surprised while explaining various things.
As it wasn’t the right time to discuss these matters outside, I extended my hand towards Shailo.
“Let’s go inside and have some tea.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Shailo, who kissed my hand as customary, raised his head slightly and smiled with his eyes.
Indeed, a face so beautiful it could kill.
“Wow, it’s amazing!”
“Really? Then… to make a good impression on Her Majesty the Empress, would you like to take this?”
“Kyaa! Thank you!”
In a short while, Shailo captured the hearts of the maids.
With his dazzling silver hair and a youthful face that looked younger than his age, Shailo, with sapphire-like eyes and soft pink lips, naturally attracted everyone’s attention.
Moreover, that’s not all. Despite his graceful appearance that seemed like he might lack muscles, surprisingly, his shoulders and back were broad, and his clothes fit well.
Shailo was skilled at dealing with people, and he had the unique calmness of someone who naturally expects to receive attention.
‘No, he seems to enjoy being the center of attention.’
As soon as he entered the reception room, Shailo cast a spell, and in an instant, flowers bloomed everywhere.
With roses, tulips, white lilies, and lilacs in shades of violet appearing here and there, Lydia, who was present, screamed in surprise and fainted.
Then the knights outside burst open the door and rushed in, Lady Bertholt came running… and passing maids opened their eyes, and that’s when the chaos began.
I stood among the maids and watched Shailo distribute flowers to each one, then chuckled.
It suited him so well.
“The maids are all so kind. The Empress’s palace feels warm.”
Eventually, we sat facing each other at a table.
As we sipped tea in a place filled with the fragrance of flowers, I felt pleasantly uplifted.
“Shall we get straight to the point?”
“Yes. Then… you may already know, but let me go over the demon flow I checked before coming here.”
Shailo placed chess pieces on a large map placed in the reception room beforehand.
“The Orc legion is descending from the Terra Palga Mountains in the west. Similarly, the horde of dark vipers that dwell on the cliffs of Terra Palga is also coming down. Although the demons are on the move, fortunately, their destination is an area far from villages.”
“Tahran Marsh.”
“Exactly.”
Tahran Marsh is located in the west of Nix and receives rain throughout the year.
Since the land is quite muddy, it is essentially a deserted area with nothing to do.
“Demons are also moving from the north to Tahran Marsh.”
“What about the east and south?”
“There was no response from those areas.”
Well, Belifor could not command all the demons dwelling in this empire.
From the current situation, it seems that commands to gather were given to demons in the north and west, and the destination appears to be Tahran Marsh, a place where human feet rarely reach….
“Normally, demons have an instinct to kill those of different species, not only humans but also among demons themselves. However, to see them gathering in one place like this, there must be a powerful focal point.”
The movement of demons had already been discussed in a cabinet meeting. However, officials in Nix had a tendency to only deal with things when they were right in front of them. The discussion had only reached the point of “Since demons are gathering, let’s send the Crusader Knights and investigators.”
“We should reconvene an emergency meeting. It would be good if you could step forward and speak at that time.”
“I will do that. We’ll also need the assistance of the temple.”
Helene will be thrilled. Finally, an opportunity to step forward has come.
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.”
