Then, I turned to Hezen with a smile.
“Long time, Hezen. You doing well?”
Startled.
He seemed taken aback by my unexpected reaction.
“Lulu, are you… not angry?”
His voice was skeptical.
Of course, my affection for him was still –999.
[SYSTEM] Emergency! Princess Luielle Ajeister is harboring strong murderous intent towards you!Ignoring the usual alert as we got close, I smiled brightly.
“Oh dear, people might think we’ve had a fight.”
I then picked up a dessert plate from the table and offered it to him.
[SYSTEM] Emergency! Princess Luielle Ajeister’s murderous intent towards you deepens!“How about trying this, Hezen?”
The plate contained a sticky dessert made of honey.
[SYSTEM] Emergency! Princess Luielle Ajeister’s murderous intent is immeasurable! Be cautious of Princess Luielle Ajeister!Hezen’s face paled as he saw the system window declaring my immeasurable murderous intent.
“To eat this…?”
“Please, save me…”
A servant collapsed on the floor, pleading in agony, unable to escape due to an invisible force binding him.
Above the servant’s head read ‘Servant of the Ajeister Royal Palace .’
“Why so frightened? Who’s killing you?”
Anselot approached the servant with a sly smile.
“Just because.”
With each step he took closer, a visible fear enveloped the servant’s face.
“I’m just offering you a treat. The precious tea sent by the Prince of Ajeister, you see.”
In his left hand, he held a teapot, recently brought by the servant.
Anselot harshly grabbed the servant’s chin with his right hand.
“Gack!”
Despite the strong grip, the servant clenched his mouth shut, shaking his head fiercely in resistance.
“Don’t like it?”
“Ugh, Ugh!”
Anselot tilted his head, puzzled by the servant’s violent refusal.
“Strange, isn’t it? It’s a precious tea only for Ajeister’s royals. I’m sharing it with you as a special treat.”
“Uh, Ugh!”
“Hmm… Well, if you don’t want it, can’t help it.”
With a sly grin, Anselot tilted the teapot over the servant’s head.
Swish.
As the lukewarm tea drenched the servant’s head, he passed out.
“Tsk.”
Anselot nudged the unconscious body with his foot.
He was disappointed by such a trivial fainting.
Casually, he tossed the teapot away, catching a faint scent of paralyzing poison with his sensitive nose.
A barely discernible fragrance for an ordinary human.
Kicking a few more times, a hidden dagger fell from the servant’s chest.
Apparently, the servant planned to paralyze and then kill him.
Anselot scoffed, picking up the dagger.
The sharp blade pierced through the servant’s body.
The servant was dead.
Rumors would circulate about Anselot, the murderer from Luenhart, but he hardly cared.
There was a more intriguing presence demanding his attention.
“Luielle Ajeister, the Third Princess of Ajeister…”
The woman, fluttering like a spring flower, who instantly captivated his gaze.
And perhaps, a woman beyond this world’s [System].
He first encountered Luielle en route to meet the Emperor as an envoy of Luenhart.
At that moment, he involuntarily paused.
It wasn’t just her appearance that caught his eye.
She emanated a strangely familiar scent.
Then he noticed the pink window above her head.
Anselot frowned unknowingly.
“This cycle’s sacrificial lamb for awakening?”
The pink window indicated a lover relationship with the player, who awakens through “[Death of the Lover]”.
He had no intention of intervening in the player’s awakening.
However, he found the ‘999’ affection towards the player irksomely displeasing.
Every woman in this place had an affection of 999.
The absurdity made him snicker a few times.
Similarly, the ‘999’ affection of this woman disappointed him.
“She’s no different from the others.”
Anselot deliberately averted his gaze, disturbed by the odd tremor he felt when their eyes met.
Later, he realized the cunning woman had stolen his pendant.
Initially, he wanted to kill her.
But learning she used ‘that power’ and saw the [System], his interest in Luielle intensified.
He decided to let her live for now.
Maybe she was the key to achieving what he long sought.
“Time to meet her.”
Humming a tune, Anselot stood before a mirror.
Today was the ball for guests from foreign lands.
Unplanned, he was late for the start of the banquet due to this unexpected guest.
Anselot didn’t particularly enjoy noisy gatherings, but he knew Luielle would be there.
Remembering how she’d been dodging him all week brought a smirk to his face.
Like how she’d stomped around the palace, only to feign illness upon seeing him.
“Cough, cough… Sorry, I’m not feeling well today… Let’s reschedule and meet another time.”
“Weren’t you just energetically plotting to trap that player guy a moment ago?”
“…”
Or how she used her maids to pretend she wasn’t there when he visited under the guise of paying a sick visit.
“I’m sorry, Prince. The Princess is currently not present… Oh!”
“What’s that sitting on the windowsill then?”
“…I am but an afterimage of Princess Luielle.”
With that nonsensical excuse, she’d leap out the window and flee.
“My goodness, Princess! I’ve told you jumping from the third floor is dangerous!”
“…”
He found her mouse-like antics amusing and let her be, but it seemed time to collect on the pendant he’d lent her.
“I do miss her.”
The thought of Luielle, eyes wide like a frightened rabbit whenever their gazes met, brought him an odd sense of pleasure.
As Anselot snapped his fingers, a line of text appeared above his head.
Prince of Luenhart Kingdom
He glanced at the text briefly, a satisfied smile on his lips, then strolled out with a swish of his cloak.
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.”
