“Important, yes. She is clearly their leader.”
The military doctor trembled with an unknown dread.
Something huge just passed by.
He instinctively sensed danger if he probed too deep.
The military doctor quickly veered off the subject of the commander, focusing on the captive.
“Is she really their leader? This weak, frail woman?”
It seemed unlikely that this woman, whose very breath seemed to fade away, could wield a sword or fire a gun.
“I don’t know much else, but she is definitely the leader of those who attacked us.”
“How do you know?”
“I heard it clear as day. They referred to her as their leader.”
“What if you’re mishearing…”
Ignoring the military doctor’s useless doubt, Aaron continued.
“All the men tied up at the stake moved at her command.”
“Could she be a proxy for the real leader? She seems too weak to even hold a weapon.”
Aaron, in a firm voice, cleared the military doctor’s doubts.
“The ones who were relentlessly attacking us stopped completely. No attacks whatsoever after she was captured.”
The military doctor, who was about to examine the patient, stopped.
The surprise attacks that had continued day and night had ceased completely since her capture.
Just like the ebb tide, the enemies retreated swiftly, hiding their traces.
Blinking in disbelief, the military doctor looked at the woman.
Could this weaklooking woman really be the leader?
“If there were higher command, they would have executed other operations.”
Aaron, seeing the military doctor’s reaction, chuckled and sank back into his chair.
He made the same movement as before, but this time careful, putting strength into his entire body.
Thus, no sound was made.
“Ah.”
The military doctor, sighing deeply, leaned towards the commander.
In a quiet voice barely audible, he asked.
“Shouldn’t we kill her quickly then? Taking out the enemy’s leader is the most efficient tactic.”
“We can’t kill her. Because she’s the enemy’s leader.”
Confused by Aaron’s peculiar answer, the military doctor tilted his head.
“It seems contradictory…”
At the military doctor’s question, Aaron chuckled.
“These men she’s commanding are not simple militia.”
“If not militia, then what?”
“Elite soldiers with advanced training. No ordinary citizens could form such a force.”
Aaron’s gaze traveled from the woman’s golden hair at the foot of the bed to her face.
Her eyes were still closed.
She had beautiful blue eyes.
“The weapons, albeit old, were wellmaintained and their command structure was perfectly organized.”
“So shouldn’t we kill her more?”
“Doctor, stop insisting on killing and think carefully.”
The military doctor looked at Aaron with a wronged expression.
Who had worked so hard to save her.
But the commander had turned him into a murderous doctor.
“Why would welltrained elite soldiers follow her? It’s different from just being led by a man.”
“How so?”
“She doesn’t look like someone who would overpower men with strength. Yet the elite soldiers obeyed her absolutely.”
Thinking about Aaron’s words, the military doctor remembered the woman’s arm he had treated.
Her arm, so thin it seemed she couldn’t hold a knife.
“There’s something about her, beyond strength and skill. Like status, or a saint receiving divine revelations…”
As he stretched his words, Aaron’s gaze moved towards the woman.
The thin ray of sunlight piercing through the curtains scattered upon meeting her long eyelashes.
Particles of light reflected by her golden hair fluttered around.
“A person of high enough status to command elite soldiers.”
“The more I hear, the more ambiguous it sounds.”
“Anyway, I have a feeling she’ll play an important role in the war against Eorenti.”
“How so?”
“What if this woman turns out to be a highranking noble or a saint. If we receive a formal prisoner negotiation request, we might be able to end this tedious war quickly.”
And once his curiosity about her is satisfied, his burning thirst might also be quenched.
Aaron rose to his feet and approached a table where a glass of water was placed.
Aaron drank the clear and pure water, which was as transparent as the woman’s eyes.
“If so, I might be able to go home sooner than planned.”
The word ‘home’ changed the expression on the military officer’s face.
If he could go home sooner, he would have to devote his loyalty to the beautiful prisoner in front of him, no, to the commander.
The military officer held his bag tightly and swore solemnly.
“In that case, I will dedicate myself to treating this patient.”
“Good. Try your best in the treatment.”
“Yes, understood.”
Looking at the motivated military officer, Aaron called to his deputy, Dyke, who was waiting.
“Dyke. Contact Day. We need to identify someone.”
“Yes, commander.”
Dyke followed Aaron’s order and left the barracks.
In the meantime, the military officer approached the woman and slowly lowered the blanket.
The woman, wearing the commander’s white shirt, was exposed.
The military officer unbuttoned the top part.
He moved carefully so as not to wake the deeply sleeping woman.
Aaron glanced at the military officer’s fingertips and said,
“The fever broke this morning, and she’s no longer bleeding. Thanks to that, the surgery seems to have been successful. Disinfect once and wrap it with a new bandage.”
The military officer stopped unbuttoning.
When he turned his head to look at the commander, Aaron’s gaze was already on the military documents on the table.
“Commander, did you take care of her until dawn?”
The military officer closed his mouth with an ‘ah’ feeling as he asked the question.
He remembered the sharp reaction of the commander a while ago.
However, Aaron was just flipping through the documents calmly, contrary to the military officer’s worry.
Everything became clear while talking with the military officer.
Why he was taking care of the prisoner so diligently.
Because she was a prisoner worth using.
If he could find out her identity and utilize her to the fullest, his unidentifiable thirst would disappear.
Having found the answer, he felt much more relaxed.
Aaron, with a leisurely smile, answered the military officer’s question that he couldn’t answer a while ago.
“Of course. Because she’s my precious prisoner.”

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.”
