He held Melody’s face, turning it side to side, and smiled satisfactorily. Melody asked in a trembling voice.
“When is my brother coming?”
“Your brother will be here soon. Just wait a little longer. Don’t think about running away.”
“Okay.”
Shane left instructions with the waiting knight and left the room.
Alone again, Melody got out of bed and went to the window. Looking at the rising sun, she made a wish.
“Brother, come for me soon.”
I miss you.
Her green eyes were filled with sadness.
It was a lonely morning.
The entire Adrian mansion fell into a deathly silence.
Duke Adrian left Rosette’s side for a moment to investigate the incident, and the three Adrian siblings put everything aside to stay by Rosette’s side.
They didn’t know exactly what had happened. They only knew Rosette had used magic to save their father and collapsed.
“I’m going to see father. Contact me when she wakes up.”
Daniel, who had been silent, left the room.
“I should go too. The mansion is in too much chaos; I need to calm the staff down.”
Isabelle left the room with heavy steps. Then, in the room, only Rosette and Lucas remained.
Lucas, holding back his tears until now, burst into sobs, grasping Rosette’s hand.
“Hey, little one. Wake up.”
There was no response.
“Wake up, you fool. Do you think I trained you for this? So weak. I’m going to train you even harder from now on.”
As Lucas muttered to no one, he turned his head at the sound of a bird. At the tightly closed window, a white bird was crying pitifully.
“Did you come to see the youngest one?”
[Chirp!]It almost seemed like the bird responded with a ‘Yes, yes!’ Hesitating, Lucas finally opened the window wide, and the bird fluttered onto Rosette’s head.
“Hey, don’t do that.”
Lucas flailed his arms to catch the bird, which flew up high to avoid him, circling above his head.
[Chirp, chirp.]Lucas didn’t chase the annoying bird away but left it be. The bird seemed to watch cautiously before fluttering onto the bed’s headboard.
“Fine, stay there. Just don’t bother the youngest.”
[Chirp…]Conversing with a bird, Lucas thought he had gone crazy. He sighed deeply and stayed beside Rosette with the bird.
Thus, the first day with Rosette asleep passed.
Duke Adrian looked down coldly at Joseph Oser, who was prostrate before him. Despite trying to suppress it, an uncontained killing intent seeped from the duke.
Although Joseph was a promising knight-in-training, he was still not an adult and trembled under such intense killing intent.
“Tell me what happened, Joseph Oser.”
Just before, Duke Adrian had roughly heard the whole story from Sebastian. Joseph and Rosette had suddenly come warning of danger to the duke.
Given the urgent situation, Sebastian didn’t get more details. But the duke quickly surmised what had happened from that brief story.
“Were you planning to betray me and the Adrian family?”
The duke’s voice sank low as he asked again.
He had a certain fondness for Joseph. Despite his youth, he was diligent, showed prowess in swordsmanship, and the fact that he was taking care of his younger sister alone was pitiable.
He even planned to sponsor his sister’s academy admission once she grew older.
He didn’t feel betrayed. As the head of a duke’s family, one mustn’t trust anyone easily and always be suspicious.
So it wasn’t surprising that a young lad like Joseph might stab him in the back.
But his fury stemmed from the fact that he almost lost Rosette.
“I am…”
Joseph, trembling like a leaf, apologized instead of explaining the situation.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Your Grace.”
However, the duke remained unmoved by his tears.

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.”
