“Unfortunately, an urgent letter has arrived. Miss.”
I got up from my place in a huff and said, “Did it just arrive now?”
“Yes. I came straight here after receiving the letter.”
She was currently tracking a suspicious person in Olland and Zen.
A man who used to work for the mercenary group of the Kalua Empire, Kaines.
Based on the information I had seen in the original novel, he was highly likely to be the person who invaded the villa on the day my mother, Charle, died.
The last information I heard about Kaines was that he was spotted near the capital.
Since I had continuously asked the Kalua Empire’s intelligence agents to track his location, I didn’t even know if this recent information was about Kaines’ current residence.
I reached out to Jelin with a serious expression.
“Give it here.”
“Yes, Miss.”
Taking the paper from Jelin, I quickly unfolded it and read its contents.
[We have found Kaines’ residence. The current location is…]As expected, they had found Kaines’ residence.
I got up from my seat right away and told Jelin, “I need to go there myself. I’m going out right now, so get ready.”
“What about Zen?”
Until now, I had kept the information about Kaines from Olland and Zen.
Even though I hesitated for a moment about whether I should tell them now, I soon nodded.
If I were to meet Kaines today, I would find out anyway.
It seemed better to inform them after confirming the facts. Olland was investigating Charle’s death from a different angle, so there was no need to unnecessarily complicate things.
“Keep my outing a secret from Zen. I think I should go alone.”
“As for Captain of the Guard…”
“If I tell Askan, Zen will catch on. For now, it’s better if I quietly go on my own.”
“I’ll go with you, Miss.”
“It’s okay. Since you haven’t mastered swordsmanship, stay here.”
I appreciated Jelin’s sentiment, but as a mere maid, she could be at risk of danger.
I grabbed the magic-engineered weapon I had brought from the laboratory. As a former mercenary, I could handle opponents well on my own.
What bothered me was the Manoco family.
For a moment, the faces of Serena and Ruphmo flashed in my mind, but if I could avoid them tracking my actions, it should be fine.
While contemplating various methods, I told Jelin once again.
“Prepare a carriage at the back gate without anyone knowing.”
“Alright, Miss.”
With a tense expression, Jelin went outside.
I completed all the preparations and left the mansion through the back gate. It was a path that led inconspicuously to the back gate, avoiding attention as much as possible.
Soon, I saw the carriage that Jelin had secretly prepared. Fortunately, there was no one visible around.
Carefully boarding the carriage, the coachman asked about the destination.
“Where shall I take you, Miss?”
“First, to the busy district…”
Click, the tightly closed door of the carriage suddenly opened.
Turning my head with a surprised expression, unexpectedly, Askan was there.
I never expected Askan to appear here.
He looked at me with a somewhat distorted expression, as if he was upset about something.
“Askan?”
I couldn’t have predicted that he would show up like this.
Looking at my surprised face, Askan, in a slightly lowered voice, said, “Where do you think you’re going like a cat burglar?”

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.”
