It was highly likely that Lexus had arranged Viscount Calliot’s death.
Since it was something the emperor did, everyone would cover it up…
“I can’t let it be forgotten like this, Casius.”
Renisha raised her head.
“This person has a lot to do. Casius, you revived the dead land… So.”
Renisha clung to Casius.
Casius always grants whatever Renisha wants. So, this time too.
“You always do everything I want, Casius.”
Renisha pouted like a child.
Casius was the only support Renisha could lean on to comfortably show this side of herself.
Renisha collapsed freely in Casius’s arms.
“Save me, Casius.”
Renisha uttered with a voice full of sorrow.
“You know I can’t, Renisha.”
Casius said with full regret.
There was clearly a limit to what he could do, even if he wanted to.
No matter how much power Casius had as the Red Serpent, he couldn’t resurrect the dead.
That was an area the gods could not be violated.
“…I’m sorry.”
Casius hugged Renisha.
Renisha still seemed small.
She didn’t even seem to be half of Casius.
Holding the seemingly fragile Renisha, Casius spoke in a soft voice.
“Viscount Calliot will understand you, Renisha.”
“Me…? I couldn’t protect Viscount Calliot. If I had paid more attention to him, if I had attached someone to Viscount Calliot… If I had…”
“Renisha, you can’t control every situation. You just need to do what you can. Okay?”
Casius swept her back until Renisha’s trembling stopped.
Until Renisha’s sobbing subsided.
“…We will hold a grand funeral.”
“Please do.”
“So that everyone in the world can know about Viscount Calliot’s death…”
So that his journey wouldn’t be lonely.
Renisha swallowed her tears.
She knew her path would never be clean.
Renisha would cause and experience many deaths in the future.
And she would carry all those deaths in her heart.
“I will… never forget.”
Renisha said in a moist voice.
Casius kissed Renisha’s forehead.
With the hope that his awkward comfort would reach Renisha.
Renisha slowly closed her eyes.
The young children of the Calliot family, rescued from Lexus, appeared in her mind.
Renisha hadn’t saved them.
Renisha was the marauder who took away the last fence from them.
Renisha bit her lips.
She won’t forget.
Absolutely, she won’t forget.
Renisha repeated it many times.
Casius took care of Viscount Calliot’s body.
He prepared the funeral by wrapping the damaged body so that Viscount Calliot’s children wouldn’t see it.
At an age when it would be difficult to understand what death is, the children lost their parents, and now, even the Viscount Calliot, who had taken care of them, was lost.
Renisha personally prepared the funeral.
With a pale face, Renisha placed a white chrysanthemum on Viscount Calliot’s chest.
The children, with small ferns, followed Renisha and placed chrysanthemums.
The children who had escaped into the nurse’s arms and looked back whined.
“Something’s weird here. Can’t we go in?”
“Miss…”
“I smell something strange. When is Grandpa coming?”
The children urging the sobbing nurses were innocent.
Renisha took in everything with her eyes.
And the betrayer arrived at the funeral home.
“Gael Calliot.”
Renisha murmured poisonously.
He was always the man by Viscount Calliot’s side.
He had been described as being like a limb, even better than a nephew in some ways.
Viscount Calliot considered Gael closer than family, but Gael abandoned Viscount Calliot for his own convenience.
Although Renisha knew that the give-and-take relationship couldn’t always be equal, the blood in her veins turned cold.
“Renisha, madam.”
Gael bowed his head before Renisha.
What Gael might confess about Renisha’s secret was unknown.
Now that an unforeseen variable had appeared, it was time for Renisha to prepare for it.
Gael knew everything about Brixton, Haylin, and Isabella.
How much did Lexus know?
A tension that tightened her heart crept in anew.
She had been complacent so far. Renisha twisted her ear.
Was she soaking in the peace of no trouble?
She had accepted people as if she had forgotten how to be suspicious.
Gael awkwardly laughed at Renisha’s vigilant gaze.
“Do you know that, Gael?”
“…”
“You’ll have to give everything back. The world isn’t that easy.”
Renisha spoke slowly.
As if forgetting the frustration of yesterday, she exuded an imposing presence.
Casius stood firmly behind Renisha, guarding her back.
“I will never forgive those who harm my people.”
Renisha said, meeting Gael’s eyes, speaking resolutely.
“I will return more than what I receive.”
“Madam Renisha, I… I didn’t do it because I wanted to. Not because I wanted to.”
Gael shook his head, denying it.
“Is that so? Well, let me tell you in advance, too.”
Renisha smiled coldly.
It was undoubtedly a beautiful smile, but it sent shivers down the spine.
Unconsciously, Gael stepped back.
“I didn’t want to do it either, Gael.”
It was like a prelude to death.
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.”
