The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 240
A piece moved across the wide map.
Dora couldn’t help but sigh in admiration at the sight of slender, pale fingers gliding soundlessly like the wind. Even the simplest gesture looked like a painting when done by Lady Neris. She even felt a swell of pride.
The dark blue piece, holding a sword, settled in the northeastern part of Marquis Tipian’s domain, where the marquis’s seat lay.
“The Imperial Court originally intended to inflict damage upon the marquisate and then blame it on us. That would have sown discord between the two sides, forcing both to waste their strength amidst tedious rhetoric. So I thought I’d save them a bit of time.”
Hilbrin grinned broadly, clearly delighted. Neris lifted the dark blue piece and placed it this time south of the Ilopium Mountains.
The carefully prepared surprise attack had evidently failed even before execution. Even Abelus would surely consider the possibility that his intelligence had been compromised.
“If they believe Marquis Tipian and we have conspired together, they’ll be furious. They’ll mobilize every soldier at their disposal—no matter the strain—to make a show of force.”
After all, Abelus couldn’t abide anyone showing him anything less than fear. Perhaps that was why he resented Kaymil.
How dare they not revere him, an Imperial scion?
How dare they attempt to use him?
How dare they force him to choose against his own will…?
‘Yet, in truth, he never truly decides anything for himself.’
Sending armies outright to topple Maindlant—that at least was a display of his own volition.
His blind hatred toward Cledwin likely stemmed from this childish nature. Cledwin was, after all, someone who never feigned fear of anyone.
“They’re probably preparing a formal declaration of war by now. You already know this, but I shall state it plainly—now, when all eyes are turned toward the marquisate.”
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.”
