“If you truly have such intentions, reconsidering might be a good idea. Do you know how difficult it will be for our Shatoynil Kingdom if it is revealed that the acting Empress has been deceiving the vigilant Emperor of the Lafeon Empire, even during sleep?”
The one causing the difficulty isn’t the Shatoynil Kingdom, but rather you who orchestrated all of this from the beginning.
Linel had almost no chance of turning Shatoynil into an enemy just because of my issues.
Unless he treated me and Prince Tesler as adversaries.
“Until our side makes a move, I hope Her Majesty the Empress will keep quiet and patiently wait.”
Prince Tesler clenched his teeth, suppressing his anger.
I was taken aback by the prince’s expression.
It was the first time I realized how terrifying the gaze of someone obsessed with power could be.
“A move? Could it be, what you mentioned before… manipulating the scandal?”
“Fortunately, you remember. Will Her Majesty not believe it?”
“Are you sure about that?”
Prince Tesler sneered at me with a mocking expression.
“That aside, Empress. Before the end of the banquet, I would like to meet separately outside for a moment.”
“For what reason?”
“I have a precious gift prepared.”
“It’s okay; I’ll just appreciate the thought.”
I didn’t want to receive anything from the prince.
“Are you telling me to just throw away the gift? If you refuse, it’s up to you to discard it, but wouldn’t you regret it later, Your Majesty the Empress?”
Prince Tesler turned, subtly grabbing my arm as he said, “Why are you reacting like this to such an extraordinary gift?” I pulled my hand away from the prince, asking nervously, “What makes it such a remarkable present?” He replied, “I’ve prepared pink diamond earrings, a specialty of the Shatoyneel Kingdom.” Pink diamonds? In an instant, the image of the pink diamond ring that adorned Bonis’s finger flashed in my mind, making my stomach churn. “It’s more beautiful than the pink diamond ring I gave you before,” Prince Tesler chuckled. “!” It seemed like more than a mere discussion about jewelry. Could it be that he harmed Bonis again? “Is Bonis doing well…?” I asked, gripping my dress tightly with both hands, making an effort to keep my voice from rising.
I had to muster all my patience not to raise my voice.
I initially tried to follow Duke Martyn’s advice and avoid bringing up Bonis, but seeing Prince Tesler’s ominous expression, I couldn’t simply let it go.
“If you’re curious, let’s meet at the temple building midway on the way from the main palace to the star palace in 30 minutes.”
“What did you say?”
“If you don’t show up…”
Prince Tesler pretended to clash his wine glass against mine and whispered to me.
“This time, you’ll receive Bonis’s ear as a gift, adorned with pink diamond earrings.”
A devilish human being.
I widened my eyes and warned Prince Tesler, “What have you already done to Bonis? If you do anything this time…!”
“If you come and see, you’ll find out. Hwang, Hu, Pye, Ha.”
Prince Tesler courteously greeted me before disappearing into the crowd of guests.
“Owner, no, Hwanghu Pyeha? Are you okay?”
Due to the wind pulling the hem of my dress from behind, I turned around in surprise.
“Rozie?”
She stood there with a worried expression.
I stared at Rozie’s face for a moment. It was beyond comprehension that she, not a palace maid but a concubine, would rudely grab the empress’s dress like that. But now wasn’t the time to dwell on such matters.
What should I say to Lionel as an excuse?
I had to figure out a way to temporarily leave the main palace.
“What’s wrong?”
Pulling the hem of my dress again, Rozie, who was behind me, caught me off guard.
“Rozie?”
I looked at her with a troubled expression.
I couldn’t understand her actions just now. But now was not the time to think about that.
What excuse should I give Lionel?
I needed to come up with a way to briefly leave the main palace.
“What’s wrong?”
Turning around, I was startled by Rozie, who had pulled the hem of my dress.
“Rozie?”
She stood there with a worried expression.

“Rozie?”
I looked at her with a troubled expression.
Fortunately, Rozie didn’t ask me what I was up to in that area, and her face showed no particular curiosity.
However, she insisted on following me.
“If you say I’m not feeling well, right? So, tell Empress Hwanghu that I invited you to my quarters because I have some important words to share about health.”
“Um. Is it okay?”
“If Her Majesty’s ears are not blocked, she’ll permit it.”
“……Huh? Uh, uh……”
Rozie’s tone was quite different from her usual reserved manner.
Where does it hurt a lot?
I placed my hand on Rozie’s forehead to check if she had a fever.
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.”
