Jane pretended not to see Seren and tried to pass by.
“Have you seen Lady Rose?”
There was no need to respond to Seren. Jane ignored his words and continued walking.
However, before she knew it, Seren blocked Jane’s path, forcing her to stop in her tracks.
“Did you… say it?”
Jane flinched at Seren’s words. Without showing any signs of concern, she boldly spoke to Seren.
“Move.”
“Answer me. Did you say it?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Seren. Can you please step aside? I’m tired.”
Although Jane tried to pass by, Seren blocked her way again.
“You didn’t say anything?”
Seren’s slow-spoken words somehow sounded eerie.
Jane turned her head to meet Seren’s eyes. The chilling gaze in Seren’s ice-cold eyes was unsettling.
“I told you not to say anything. It seems you… don’t value your life.”
Seren’s low, restrained voice felt heavily suppressed.
“So, you’re following me and Lady Rose again.”
“…”
“Why? Are you running to report everything to that person?”
“Jane.”
Seren called her name slowly in the clear voice.
“Didn’t I… warn you? Forget about this incident, I believe I said something like that.”
Expressionless, Seren approached.
Perhaps because it was getting dark, despite knowing his identity, Seren felt unfamiliar and frightening.
The cool air brushed Jane’s face.
The early autumn wind was strangely chilly.
Rustle.
Jane took a step back. Why did the sound of stepping on fallen leaves seem louder today?
In a state of tension, even the smallest sound made Jane feel stiff.
“Why, why are you looking at me like that?”
Due to her nerves, she even stuttered. All she wanted was to escape from Seren, who was staring at her.
“I didn’t say anything.”
Jane spoke to Seren with a trembling gaze.
“Really, I didn’t say anything?”
Did Seren not believe her words? He continued to approach Jane with his usual expressionless face.
With each step Seren took forward, Jane stepped back three or four steps.
Thump!
“Ah.”
“Be careful.”
Jane bumped into a tree behind her. She almost hit her head, but Seren wrapped his arms around her.
For a moment, Jane and Seren’s eyes met. Her oblivious heart thumped against him, thinking he helped her.
Seren didn’t avoid Jane’s eyes.
“Jane, Cedric is a truly frightening person. More than you can imagine.”
Seren’s whispering voice flowed into Jane’s ears.
“If you make a mistake, he will kill my son too.”
Kill his son too?
Jane couldn’t empathize with Seren’s words. No one in the Wentworth family was unaware that, no matter how strict Cedric was with Eric, there was no doubt that he cared deeply for his son.
The opposite situation would have been more appropriate.
The idea that if Eric made a mistake, he would be the one to kill his father.
The Eric that Jane had seen was certainly someone who could do that.
Although everyone tried to hush it up, everyone knew about the incident where Teresia, with the help of her maids, spread rumors among the servants who attended the wedding, regarding an incident where Eric almost attacked Cedric.
Seren read Jane’s expression. It meant he didn’t think Cedric was capable of such actions.
Seren drew his sword and stared at Jane. A cold, slicing sound, accompanied by the wind, rushed towards Jane’s face.
One side of Seren’s chest tingled and felt numb.
What he had to do was not to comfort Jane but to… make her afraid.
Whoosh!
The sound of the wind cutting through the air into Jane’s ears was chilling.
“Ack!”
Jane, startled by the sudden attack, closed her eyes and covered her head.
Seren’s sword precisely embedded itself into the tree behind Jane.
“If you want to live, you should remember what I said.”
Seren looked at the trembling Jane and added one more thing.
“Next time, it won’t end like this.”
Seren warned Jane and then left.
All he wished for was that Jane, whom he loved, wouldn’t get involved with Cedric.
Everything was for Jane.
“…I’ve explained it to this extent, she should have understood.”
It was a quite aggressive method, but there wasn’t any other way that came to mind.
If he instilled fear… she probably wouldn’t open her mouth again.
Seren turned away with a bitter smile. But Jane didn’t feel like letting him go.
“Hey, you frustrating brat!”
At Jane’s thunderous voice, Seren flinched.
Why did she suddenly start shouting? What was she thinking? Was his threat insufficient?
He hesitated whether he should look back. Behind Seren, the sound of Jane running towards him could be heard.
Thump!
“Ah…”
Jane slapped the back of Seren’s head.
Even though he could have easily avoided it, Seren didn’t dodge her hand. He turned around with a bewildered expression.
Jane glared at him defiantly. Seeing Seren standing there dumbfounded, she started speaking vehemently.
“Why are you pleading like this!”
“…What?”
Despite giving her a scare, Jane’s charging figure left Seren perplexed.
“Stop gazing at me with that distant look. You’re cowardly watching from behind, and when our eyes meet, you run away!”

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.”
