“If you need help, show this to the knights and ask for their help.”
“Uh, can I really do that?”
“Yes, anytime.”
Whether she would actually come to seek help from the black monster, Lucia could not know.
But compared to everything else around her, raising a child alone and working to make a living.
Lucia, who shared that commonality with her, wanted to be a support for her.
The request was completed by handing him over to the guards.
Just in case, as they briefly looked around the client’s house, they saw a small girl waving her hand from an open window.
A slightly taller and thinner girl than Nia.
The girl seemed to be the client’s child.
Worried that the girl might be anxious due to the weakened client, Lucia was relieved to see that the girl’s face looked quite bright.
The two headed back to Zone 1.
And until they reached the crossroads in front of the palace gate and the forked path, they didn’t exchange a single word.
Breaking the strange silence, she spoke first.
“Thank you for your hard work today.”
However, somehow, Leon seemed absent-minded. His condition seemed quite serious, but without asking again, Lucia turned around and started walking.
However, his voice was heard from the short distance.
“…Miss Lucia!”
“?”
As it was dark, his face couldn’t be seen.
Thinking he might want to say something serious, she tried to approach, but he took a few steps back and muttered.
“…Do you, by any chance, have goosebumps?”
“Yes?”
Thinking she misheard, Lucia tried to get closer.
However,
“…No, it’s nothing. Please ignore what you didn’t hear.”
As if using magic, he suddenly disappeared as if running away.
[Star Icon]The day of the friendly match between the Eldarian Empire and the Kingdom of Farendel.
Lucia and her team, after a long time, dressed in their conquering attire, headed to the Dark Ceremony Hall.
Many knights were already positioned around the elaborately decorated stage.
Of course, the stage featured the Emperor of the Eldarian Empire and the beautiful Empress.
However,
‘…He didn’t come.’
A vacant seat was more concerning to Lucia than the pretentious ones around her.
That seat was none other than the one belonging to the leader of the White Wizards who had fled like a fugitive last night.
As she observed the empty seat, she felt a warm gaze from behind.
The special envoys from Farendel had arrived behind her.
Standing there, Princess Lilliphe.
“Is it bothering you?”
“?
“What are you doing? Farendel’s envoy?”
The prince appeared from behind her.
However, the princess didn’t respond to his words and spoke directly to Lucia while looking straight at her.
“It’s mine. Whatever you do to him.”
“…….”
Lucia, with an unreadable expression, faced the warning-like words.
Watching her, the prince, who had been observing her, climbed onto the stage with the princess, sat in the prepared chair, and spoke.
“It’s better to confess to Leon, isn’t it? Instead of attaching yourself to someone as old-fashioned as an imposing person.”
“Interesting. Are you relaxed?”
“……Hmm.”
The atmosphere of the girl who was burning with unrequited love before seemed different.
Something seemed to have changed her, but it was difficult for Irene to predict what it was.
“Knights of the Eldarian Empire, knights of the Kingdom of Farendel, please come up to the stage.”
As the imperial aide gestured for the entrants, two swordmasters knelt in front of the Emperor and Empress.
Kaius, the Emperor, looked down at them with a kind smile and delivered a brief opening speech.
“Today’s match is a friendly match between our friendly nation, the Kingdom of Farendel. I hope both heroes will compete well, based on respect and learning.”
“And the noble sun of Eldarian, His Majesty the Emperor. The knight of Farendel, Ilysha. I will uphold those names.”
Ilysha, who had suffered the conquest of Farendel, bowed her head and showed courtesy.
However, his eyes, full of affection, were cheering for Lucia with a warm smile.
It was a gaze that clearly conveyed the message to win decisively.
However,
“Emperor, once bewitched by the fallen Black Knight of the fallen Tithursan Empire, Lucia. I will uphold that name. You never know when she might be bewitched again.”
“……!”
Surprised by Lucia’s response, the Emperor and all those sitting at the stage began to murmur.
Of course, Lucia had just revealed the backstage of the play to the Emperor, but he had forgotten about it for several years since then.
Even though he knew she had revealed it for a reason, he was genuinely shocked by her cold attitude, and he, the small-hearted Emperor, began to be teased by his unfair face.
The laughing prince and empress began to tease the unjust Emperor.
He could only reminisce about the past with thorns as he could not throw stones at the atmosphere that had already started.
Thus, the head knight approached the two sword masters.
Following the procedure, they exchanged the knights’ gloves, and the explanation of the rules for the entrants began.
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.”
