Seeing that Olivia’s gaze was conveniently blocked, Greta’s mouth twisted into a gaze that could kill Olivia instantly.
“Why are you asking about our first meeting when you’re a diplomat?”
Although it was a valid question compared to Olivia’s rude question, Olivia read the hidden meaning beneath it.
It meant to confess with my own mouth that our first meeting was close enough for you to hear.
Keeping silent, Olivia did not say anything and just bit the teacup. To extract information, she had to respond as Greta intended.
When they met in Nordengard, it seemed like they had a personal relationship.
However, the words were stuck in my throat.
Whether it was the first meeting or whatever, I didn’t want to admit with my own mouth that Cryer had a personal relationship with the woman in front of me.
No, no. I can’t ruin things with just my mood.
Moreover, Cryer had asserted that there was no personal relationship.
Did he? Yes, he did, right? No, he did say there was no direct contact, but didn’t he also say there was no personal relationship?
No, after being so awkward and suffocating, you’re jealous whether or not there’s a personal relationship!
Even in the already awkward and breathless atmosphere, the oppressive silence continued for a while, but Olivia was in conflict without even feeling that.
How long has it been like this?
“That…”
“Your Highness.”
Olivia, who had not yet admitted the ‘jealousy’ she had so difficultly overcome, was about to speak, but Cryer called her first.
“Hmm?”
At the sudden call, both Olivia and Greta, the person in question, trembled.
And at Greta’s reaction, Kaslan opened his eyes narrowly but quickly concealed his knight-like expression.
Normally, Greta would have been able to catch Kaslan’s gaze pouring down over her head in a moment, but with all her attention focused on Cryer and the sudden words, she didn’t notice.
“I will stay here.”
While uttering those words, Cryer looked at Olivia with half-opened eyes as if engraving her wide-eyed expression into his eyelids.
He also knew. Olivia had asked questions to extract information from Greta.
And to get information, he had to respond to Greta’s question about his past. But Olivia had closed her mouth.
Cryer, looking at Olivia with a rabbit-like eye, which Olivia had so hardly overcome, roughly understood what she was thinking and how she felt.
However, fortunately or unfortunately, he couldn’t read her exact thoughts.
Therefore, he guessed the reason why Olivia suddenly closed her mouth as he pleased.
Perhaps she didn’t want to lie, even falsely, that she had some relationship with others personally.
If he knew that his guess was quite accurate, he would have hugged Olivia right away and taken her to a place where they could be alone, but such a thing didn’t happen.
“What?”
Olivia, who stood up as if she had heard the words for the first time, looked dazed, and Cryer, who was looking down at her, repeated.
“I will stay here.”
His words that popped out unexpectedly would have seemed strange even if a passing monkey had said them, but no one in this place tried to infer why he suddenly said such a thing.
Understandably, Olivia seemed to be in tremendous shock, Greta gazed at Cryer with eyes filled with sticky desire, and Kaslan refrained from expressing any doubts because it wasn’t the place to voice them.
“You… will stay?”
Even with Olivia’s shocked expression, Cryer coldly nodded with a stiff expression.
“Yes.”
“Why? Well, asking like this won’t get you to say anything.”
Olivia lowered her head as if this had happened several times before.
“Whenever I ask something, you never answer…”
As if unable to continue speaking, Olivia stood up, pressing her forehead. She looked visibly sad, as if suffering from the fact that someone she likes isn’t opening up to her.
At least that’s how it appeared in Kaslan and Greta’s eyes.
“I apologize, Your Highness.”
“Again! I told you not to say that.”
“I apologize.”
And the person in question, Cryer, seemed to be erecting a tremendous barrier against her.
Naturally, the words exchanged between them were likely prepared in advance.
The play seemed to be an attempt to naturally guide Cryer to stay close to Greta.
Of course, ‘naturally’ became ‘unreasonably without any apparent reason’ only because Cryer was the one staying, but Olivia, despite her surprise at Cryer bringing up the topic earlier than planned, continued the play like flowing water.
“I… I’ll leave now.”
“Your Highness!”
Kaslan, supporting the staggering Olivia, and Cryer’s crimson gaze pierced like a dagger behind the two.
Despite knowing that everything was going as planned before coming here, Cryer had to swallow the pain that squeezed his heart.
He had to leave Olivia’s side, as if it were his own will.
Knowing that all of this was a play, he felt uneasy and anxious.

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.”
