The day they removed the bastards who had imprisoned Lamein in the storage shed at the villa.
“What’s the last thing you want to say? I’ll listen to that.”
Cedric swiftly cut the cloth that was gagging his mouth with a knife.
“Please… we just did what we were told. Spare us!!”
“Pl-please spare us. We just did what we were told!!”
Tears flowed from the eyes of the two men and women pouring out their grievances.
“Who? Did Sion tell you to do it?”
“Yes! That’s correct.”
“Really? So, did Sion also order to target Lamein’s life during the hunting competition?”
“…Yes? No, I don’t know anything about the hunting competition.”
There was no falsehood in the eyes claiming innocence.
Cedric also believed that Sion had nothing to do with the hunting competition.
Because if Lamein’s true identity were revealed in a public place, it would be difficult for him to survive as well.
“Then who did such a thing?”
“I don’t know!”
“In that case, there’s no reason for me to spare you any longer, is there?”
As Cedric lifted the sharp blade into the air,
“I may not know about the hunting competition, but there was someone else who knew about that day!”
The awaited words were heard.
“It was a young lady with blue hair…”
The swindling woman rolled her eyes as if trying to recall the name.
Cedric, who had been glaring sharply, slowly spoke.
“Elina.”
“…Ah! Yes! That’s correct. Sion called that lady Elina that day!!”
The expectation became a reality.
At the moment when suspicion turned into truth.
The piercing blue eyes, suppressing the exploding anger, sank deeply.
“That’s right. She specifically told me to take care of it while having a conversation with Sion at the party that day!”
As hope spread over the face of the woman who had collapsed in front of her,
That smile touched something deep.
“Is that something to be happy about?”
“…No? Uh, no.”
“Whether it was you or anyone else, attempting to kill my wife won’t go unpunished.”
The two men and women, who had turned white in the face of the cascading blade-like gaze, trembled uncontrollably.
A flash of light sparkled above the slowly raised blade.
The stench of blood permeated the humid air.
There was no more mercy.
“…What did you say?”
To the slow and questioning voice.
“I said I’m thinking of divorcing Lamein.”
He responded with a clearer voice.
As if a candle were gradually extinguishing.
Elina’s smile slowly vanished.
Cedric’s lips, gazing quietly, twisted slightly.
‘There’s probably a lot to think about.’
He decided to wait for a while to give time for reflection.
Anyway, the results won’t change even if he thinks about it.
No. He won’t give in to the results they want.
“I had no idea Cedric had such thoughts.”
Elina suddenly cast a melancholy look.
“How could this suddenly happen… why did he suddenly start thinking like that?”
And as if regretful that it shouldn’t be so, a poignant voice was released.
Cedric suppressed the mocking laughter trying to emerge.
“As Elina knows, it was a marriage I didn’t want from the beginning.”
Well, that’s true. Elina spoke softly.
“Even if it meant breaking the king’s command, I couldn’t help it for what I wanted to gain.”
“What do you want to gain?”
Elina swallowed her breath, looking into Cedric’s ambitious blue eyes.
“The only reason I risked my life and wielded a sword on the battlefield was for one thing.”
Elina’s eyes, concentrating on the voice that flowed like a whisper, deepened.
“The king is looking for a new person to take over the Security Guard authority.”
A position that any brave knight would envy.
“But I found out that someone else is eyeing the position I desire.”
“…”
“My wife’s father, specifically.”
“Heter Calypso, the duke?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Cedric twisted his eyes as if dissatisfied.
“What does that have to do with divorce?”
“I wanted to gain the king’s trust from the beginning to climb up to that position. So, marriage with Lamein was important to me.”
“…”
“Even if I obtain the Security Guard authority and get a divorce, the position I’ve gained won’t be easily taken by anyone else. But now, someone is eyeing that position without even sitting in it.”
Elina blinked her eyes slowly, focusing on the words Cedric was saying.
“Do you mean there’s no need to maintain the marriage?”
“There’s no reason at all to maintain it.”
After finishing his words, Cedric, after a comma-like pause, opened his mouth again.
“But if I bring up the divorce first, I might face an unfavorable situation later. I’m currently looking for a solution.”
“Do you have something in mind?”
Elina asked with a subtle look.
“I’ll have to figure it out from now on. For now, there are things related to Lamein that need to be dealt with.”
“What is it?”
“I asked Captain Edmund of the Security Guard to investigate the recent incidents involving Lamein. Soon, we’ll find out who’s behind it.”
“…What?”
Elina’s eyelids shot up in an instant.
“Elina, why are you so surprised?”
“No, it’s not that I’m surprised. I’m just curious.”

Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.

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.”
