We arrived at the Duke’s residence and debated whether to bring Kian. However, as we had to vacate the Duke’s residence by tomorrow anyway, and Rados also had to enter the palace tomorrow, the two of us entered the Duke’s residence alone.
As soon as we entered, I lay down on the bed with a tired body, unable to gather my strength.
Even in the meantime, Sicar seemed to have bathed and changed into pajamas, but I wasn’t in such good physical condition.
I, who had been sleeping like a corpse until the next day, woke up with the sound of the curtain being drawn.
“It’s almost time for the palace, so I can’t let you sleep anymore.”
“Ah… Right. We should go.”
“Yeah. Get ready quickly.”
As I finished preparing to leave, my mind seemed to clear a bit.
Since we were going to watch a fighting match today, I tied my hair back calmly.
“Thank you again today, Mary.”
“Take care. Madam!”
After finishing all the preparations and getting on the carriage, I asked Sicar a question that I hadn’t asked him yesterday.
“What did you see in that merchant Tucker yesterday that made your expression like that?”
“When I was young, my entire family was slaughtered, and I was the only one left with my grandmother. I was doing merchant work because of that grandmother.”
Slaughtered. Perhaps that’s why he became so fearful.
“Now that we have a carriage, I hope that grandmother lives well.”
The words “I hope the grandmother lives well” came out of Sicar’s mouth.
Although very slowly, I was strangely pleased to see him gradually becoming more human.
He smiled slightly when I smiled.
“Now that I see it, you look pretty when you smile. When you smile at me.”
So, from now on, am I supposed to smile only when looking at him? Saying that for no reason, he turned his head away as if embarrassed.
“When is it best to take this Ma Jeong-su?”
“Since it’s made by beginner magicians, the effect may be short, so it’s better to take it when the match starts.”
Looking at the invitation, since not many people would gather today, I didn’t bother taking any other medicine.
Taking it step by step to overcome it wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Upon entering the palace with Sicar, the usher immediately guided us to the sponsor’s seat.
In the sponsor’s area, royal-looking chairs were arranged in a circle, and in the center, there was a small round arena that resembled a sumo ring.
Sicar guided us to the seats with our names on them.
Sicar’s seat was right next to the king’s seat.
The most uncomfortable seat in the world! Of course, I might be the only one who thinks that.
Seeing Sicar, who didn’t seem uncomfortable at all next to the king, I couldn’t help but think that he was truly amazing… No, Sicar himself is a devil that even demons would cry over.
Seeing him not at ease while waiting for the king and queen, I just wished I had taken the medicine.
Sicar, clearly seeing me like that, clapped his hands. In his palm was a pill.
“This is…”
It was medicine. A magical pill that would calm my mind, eliminating my fear of open spaces.
“Just eat it. As long as you don’t drink alcohol and consume it in moderation, there shouldn’t be any problems.”
Sicar received a cup of water from the attendant standing behind him and handed it to me.
“Here.”
So, I took the medicine he had prepared for me.
Come to think of it, Sicar was the first person to understand me in this state.
Neither family nor friends, no one understood or tried to understand my condition. That’s why I had been taking medicine regularly to avoid revealing my current state.
Being able to endure without taking medicine here was all thanks to Sicar. Thanks to him knowing my condition without me saying anything and caring for me first.
Looking at Sicar, not because he gave me medicine, but just looking at him again, he was the possessor of a sudden charming reversal… Let’s pull ourselves together.
Soon, Rados also entered the sponsor’s seat. We greeted each other with a nod without saying anything.
“Your Majesty, Her Majesty is coming in.”
As we all stood up and slightly lowered our heads, the king and queen, looking at each face, greeted us with a nod.
“Please be seated.”
The king sat down and glanced at me. Feeling the unpleasant gaze, I lowered my head even more.
“You’ve seen our queen often, right? Duchess.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“It seems like it’s been a long time since we’ve met, Duke.”
“I will visit whenever Your Majesty calls.”
“Indeed. I’ve been busy with state affairs and couldn’t call the Duchess. I’ll make sure to call more often in the future.”
“I appreciate it, Your Majesty.”
“We’ve prepared many exciting matches for today, so please enjoy. Duchess.”
“I will, Your Majesty.”
It was a feeling of uncomfortable laughter that made my spine shiver.
Sicar compared himself to such a person. I felt sorry for him for no reason.
As the attendants were drinking the beverages handed to them, men with their hands tied behind their backs and wearing hoods were dragged in.
Just seeing that, my expression was already frowning.
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.”
