However, Arthur noticed that Reyna was asleep and hushed his breath.
“……”
As he approached, he caught sight of Reyna, precariously leaning against the bedpost, having managed to fall asleep.
She had not lain down, but had fallen asleep as she sat, seemingly tired.
“……”
The crimson sunset light landed on her disheveled golden hair and closed eyelashes.
The room was getting darker but the light had not been turned on yet.
The room bathed in dark evening twilight was being cast by a tranquil long shadow of the warm sunset.
“……”
The wind whistled in through the open window gap, causing the transparent curtains to flutter.
The cool autumn breeze was coming in through the window along with the sunset.
“……”
Their room had a window facing the southwest.
Every evening, as the sun fell towards the right end of the window, the bedroom would be bathed in a red twilight.
Arthur quietly took in the sight.
“……”
Just a little more.
It would have been good if he could see all of this clearly.
“……”
For a while, his gaze lingered on Reyna.
Arthur quietly sat next to Reyna.
After watching her for some time.
Beneath the bed head that Reyna was leaning on,
he slid his hand in so as not to touch her,
and easily plucked out a tiny scrap of paper that had been hidden there with his fingertips.
And nonchalantly, he felt it with his fingertips.
“……”
It was well hidden from those who ‘see with their eyes’.
But Arthur, who sees objects with his senses rather than his eyes, was able to find the hidden object as if he was seeing it clearly.
He could guess what it was, quite ordinarily.
“……”
Did she figure out my weakness?
Arthur smiled faintly,
he didn’t open it to read, but merely felt it once or twice in his hand.
and put it back where it belonged.
With his sight, he couldn’t read the written words anyway.
“……”
To the Crown Prince, who is unaware of the circumstances related to Christina’s fraudulent marriage, he can’t ask to read it.
If he asked someone to read it, it would be Tristan or Keil.
But he couldn’t tell them about his problems yet.
Not yet… it wasn’t time.
“Don’t rely too much on Aura.”
“Yes, if it’s about vision, I’ll handle it myself.”
“……”
A power handed down to the royal family, Aura.
And the loss of sight due to excessive use of Aura.
It was an unavoidable side effect,
and only the royal family knew about it.
Because a Crown Prince, who would have to handle state affairs after becoming Emperor, couldn’t become blind by using Aura, he deliberately didn’t cultivate it.
But Arthur had to cultivate Aura to survive.
Unluckily, he had talent like no other in history,
and his ability was used very effectively in war.
Changing the tide of an obvious losing war, enough to save the life of a captured Crown Prince…
“……”
And as a result, Arthur was almost blind.
He could still see somewhat blurry, and was substituting his vision with Aura to a certain extent…
Arthur quietly stared at Reyna’s sleeping face.
“……”
The content of the note wouldn’t be anything remarkable.
He didn’t even feel the need to confirm it.
Because he could clearly read her inner thoughts through the sound of Reyna’s heartbeat.
It wouldn’t be anything significant yet.
Not yet.
“……”
So it would be better to make her let her guard down for now.
He intended to let her know that she could carry out her spy activities safely and undetected.
So Arthur sometimes intentionally left Reyna alone.
He left room for her to read the note discreetly delivered by Teacher Lorensen.
And when she seemed to want to report something to the Countess, he provided her with some alone time to write a note.
After showing her that she could perform her spy duties safely.
Arthur planned to deliberately expose incorrect information to Reyna, leading the Countess to receive incorrect information, or use it to keep the Countess in hopeful torture.
“……”
So it would be better not to take the note out and raise her alertness or encourage her to devise other methods for now.
This was just right.
Soon, she would have to confess about his problem and find someone to substitute his sight.
“……”
The tilted sun dropped.
The sunset retreated.
Twilight settled on the sleeping face of Reyna.
Arthur closed the window as the chill wind began to come in,
Quietly lit the fire in the fireplace.
And finally, as he gently pulled up the sheet over Reyna’s body,
When Reyna, who felt his presence, blankly opened her eyes and woke up,
“You looked uncomfortable sleeping. Would you like to rest a bit more?”
He said, smiling.

“Arthur.”
Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince.
“Do not depend too much on aura.”
Yes. If it is about eyes, I will take care of it myself.
“That’s not it.”
“Don’t depend on the aura. You, because you have aura, you do not trust people and keep testing them.”
……
“If you didn’t want to send her, you should not have. She’s my wife, here, in front of my eyes, you could have said to speak. Why did you send her?”
……
“Did you send her deliberately to see how she does, to hear what the two of you would talk about?”
Kyle.
“Hmm.”
Just because you know about aura, you think you know everything about me?
“……”
·

·
Arthur chuckled to himself.
That’s right.
Sometimes it seems like you know me better than I do.
[This is the time separator]“……Kyle.”
Arthur let out a sigh, holding his throbbing head.
Crown Prince Kyle rolled his eyes and suddenly held out a wine bottle adorned with a ribbon to his halfbrother.
“……”
“……A wedding gift. Seemed like you forgot.”
And he wore a smile, as if hoping for Arthur’s mercy.
“……”
Arthur’s knights could block a count, but it was impossible to block the Crown Prince.
After all, the ‘army’, even if it was Julius’s conscript, belonged to the Emperor, the ultimate authority, and the Crown Prince was the official representative of the Emperor, who was above Arthur in rank.
“……Just let it go for a day.”
Arthur looked at the Crown Prince in disbelief.
“I do not want to.”
“Just tonight…… Can’t it be?”
“Can it be?”
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.”
