It was not simply something I had seen and felt in a book. It was actually Tanashia’s memory, and I was feeling it vividly.
“Is there something hurting you?”
At Orlando’s voice, I, who had barely come to my senses, shook my head furiously.
There was no way I could explain my current situation to anyone.
“No, no. I just had a sudden headache, but I’m fine now.”
I could see Orlando’s piercingly blue eyes, as if he were examining me.
Oddly enough, his gaze didn’t feel unfamiliar. After the emergence of Tanashia’s memories, I strangely felt a sense of familiarity with Orlando.
It was disconcerting because I hadn’t expected such a peculiar event to occur, but it was urgent to get out of the situation where Orlando was staring at me intently.
‘He might notice that something’s strange.’
I pondered if there was any topic I could use to steer the conversation away.
Then, unexpectedly, Orlando spoke first.
“Tanashia.”
“Yes?”
“I’ve prepared a gift for you.”
“A…gift?”
A gift, all of a sudden?
I was taken aback by the totally unexpected words, and couldn’t help but widen my eyes.
Orlando, without a word, lightly gestured to the servant standing behind him. As if it were a signal, the servant brought over a jewelry box he had been hiding.
Inside the opened jewelry box in front of me were a necklace and earring set made of red diamonds.
It was clear at first glance that the gems, which were so bright that they dazzled the eyes, were expensive.
“This is…?”
“Last time, I only gave a horse to Noxia, and that’s been on my mind. So, I prepared a separate gift for you. I hope you like it.”
My mouth dropped open.
Come to think of it, Orlando had only given a horse to Noxia, which had upset Tanashia, and she had had an accident while practicing horseback riding.
Somehow, after the accident, the one who woke up was not Tanashia but me.
I pushed down my flustered feelings and looked at Orlando as calmly as possible, saying,
“I didn’t expect such a gift. Thank you, father.”
Noxia, who had been watching from the side, also smiled brightly as if congratulating me.
“It’s so pretty. I think it’ll really suit you, sister.”
She was, after all, the protagonist of the novel, “The Beloved Saint.” It was a pure compliment, without a trace of jealousy or envy.
“From now on, I plan to give fair gifts to everyone, not leaving anyone out. I also plan to create more occasions like today where we can gather as a family.”
“Wow─ it’s great that there will be more occasions like this, father.”
What’s this? Was there a change in his feelings?
Suddenly, I couldn’t understand why Orlando would often create occasions like this. What’s more, Noxia seemed to welcome it very much.
Suddenly, I realized that Noxia, who was sitting on the opposite side, was staring at me with such bright eyes that it was burdensome.
I felt uncomfortable. I remembered that the last time I had spilled water, Noxia had looked at me with this kind of gaze.
However, I couldn’t think any further about it.
“Come to think of it, the royal ball is soon to be held on the Prince’s birthday. It would be perfect to wear it then.”
Hearing Noxia’s words, it seemed like Orlando had presented me with the diamond set with the forthcoming royal ball in mind.
He probably wanted me to be the protagonist at that ball.
‘Wait, the Prince’s birthday?’
Rohel de Frentz Arwen.
He was the Crown Prince of the Arwen Empire and the true male protagonist of “The Beloved Saint.”
There was one event that suddenly struck my mind.
It was the first meeting between Rohel and Noxia.
The two first met at the royal ball held on Rohel’s birthday.
From then on, Rohel and Noxia felt attracted to each other, and they fell in love when they became adults.
Even though there was a lot of time left for the main content to unfold, the basic framework was being developed steadily.
Upon calculating the time, it was without a doubt that the royal ball that was about to take place was the first meeting between the two.
‘What would happen if Noxia and Prince Rohel continued smoothly without any setbacks?’
The novel featured numerous male leads due to the keyword ‘reverse harem’.
However, the only man Noksia truly harbored feelings for was Rohel, and no one else.
In the novel, my role was to be jealous of the two’s relationship and somehow tear them apart, but that wasn’t the case now.
I had no intention of showing interest in a man who didn’t like me to begin with, and I certainly had no thought of stealing my brother’s lover among so many men.
The more I thought about it, the more it didn’t seem bad to quickly bring the two together.
If Rohel, the Crown Prince, and Noksia were to marry, the Breloff family would naturally be firmly connected to the royal family, which might help prevent war.
“Oh ho, it’s not bad?”
If Noksia, the protagonist, could fulfill her love and I could be one step closer to preventing the war with the Kallua Empire, there was no need to hesitate.
I put down the fork and knife I was holding and looked seriously at Noksia.

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.”
