They didn’t know much about Lenisha, but now she was the mistress of the mansion.
Terion said that Lenisha was smart and knowledgeable, so she would lead them well.
Besides, the food had improved, and the accommodations where they were staying had been upgraded.
She said that once the castle of Hiloshain was cleaned up, she would set a budget for the convalescent period.
A salary would also come out.
How could they hate a mistress who made such promises?
Unconsciously softhearted, the knights had already given their hearts to Lenisha.
“Of course.”
Lenisha lowered the newspaper. She was smiling like a fully bloomed flower bud.
The knights exchanged glances and were relieved.
Thankfully. Their mistress seemed to be much more generous than they had thought.
Anyway, the news of Lenisha’s abdication and marriage to Casius spread.
Those who followed and adored Lenisha surrounded her.
‘The crazy Emperor did it. It’s obvious, isn’t it? Would the Empress do that?’
‘That’s what I’m saying. She was the one holding up this Empire! Now what do we do?’
However, there were those who opposed.
Those who were jealous and envious of Lenisha belittled her.
‘I knew it would be like that. Isn’t she so malicious? That’s why the Emperor turned away. It’s all up to the individual, isn’t it?’
‘Huh. So now who will take the Empress’s place?’
And they eyed the empty position of the Empress.
They were interested in power.
They gathered interest in the next Empress.
‘Could it be… Caniraa will become the Empress?’
‘It’s not an unbelievable story. Isn’t she the longestsurviving woman in the royal family now? The Emperor might really love her!’
‘Hey. But she’s too lowly. Wasn’t she a maid of Empress Lenisha? It’s a defilement of the royal blood.’
And Canaria began to be mentioned as the candidate for Empress.
(This is a time separator.)
“Ah, you’re back?”
Lenisha smiled magnificently.
It must have been frustrating for Lenisha to restrain herself from going out in order to not provoke the Emperor, but Lenisha seemed rather comfortable inside the mansion.
Casius, about to hang his overcoat over his shoulder, caught sight of an old gentleman approaching with a smile, naturally extending his hand.
“Give it to me.”
Two nights ago, Henry, who had urgently visited the mansion, eventually became the mansion’s butler.
The overall management was entrusted to Lindei.
It was for Lindei to monitor Henry.
There were some negotiations between Henry and Lenisha.
When contacting the royal city, it would be censored.
Nothing outside the agreed content would be leaked.
No talking about Isabella and Lenisha’s family.
There were a few more rules, but that was mostly it.
In fact, most of the provisions were to protect Isabella.
Casius looked displeased at Henry and handed over his coat.
“……Have you been well?”
Casius turned his head, clearly irritated, and asked Lenisha.
“Did anything happen?”
“Do you think that’s the right greeting after half a day out?”
Lenisha chuckled.
It was evident that he was keeping an eye on Henry.
In fact, Casius had opposed accepting Henry.
However, he had no choice but to follow Lenisha’s words that she would send someone else.
Henry was a negotiator, and he agreed that there would be room for negotiation.
Nevertheless, despite all that, Casius disliked Henry.
Because he was a trace of Lexus.
“Nothing happened, and I’ve been well, Casius. Let’s go inside.”
Casius nodded.
‘A dog guarding its master.’
A fierce flame that could burn down the mansion if not careful.
Henry sneakily stuck out his tongue at Casius.
Casius followed Lenisha, glancing back at Henry.
Casius narrowed his eyes at Henry.
A gesture of warning, in his own way.
I’m watching you. Well, something like that.
But Henry, who had lived with a tight heart every day because of Lexus, had to hold his breath in fear whenever his eyes met Lexus, afraid of in what direction madness might leap.
Casius’s threat felt merely like cute humor.
Of course, that’s because Casius didn’t harbor the intention to kill.
He knew he should not take lightly the killing intent of a knight who had cut people on the battlefield.
“Still, my heart is at ease.”
At least Casius was within the range people could guess.
(This is a time separator.)
Casius followed Lenisha into the bedroom.
Lenisha swallowed her laughter as she saw Casius, who kept throwing a guarded look outside until the end.
She wanted to tell him that it wasn’t necessary, but the sight of his inner feelings completely revealed was so cute that she couldn’t help but watch.
Lenisha sat in the chair at the table.
“Casius. Who did you meet today?”
Casius, who was glaring outside, sat opposite Lenisha.
“Casius?”
“Ah, I met Duke Denvers today. I went to the Sunrise Club as Lenisha instructed.”
Casius had become Duke Lotera.
No matter what Casius’s identity had been in the past, he had now reached a status where he could enter any social club with a free pass.
People were curious about Casius.
Those who were friendly towards Lenisha easily included Casius in their circle, while those who weren’t pointed fingers and ostracized him.
Casius, having very thick nerves, did not care about such things.
He honestly went to the club to meet only those Lenisha had instructed and returned.
He did so to avoid making mistakes, as he did not yet know much about such a lifestyle.
“We finally met. Was this the third time?”
Lenisha’s eyes sparkled.
Duke Denvers was not someone who enjoyed social clubs.
The fact that he had shown himself meant that he had heard rumors about Casius.
He knew that Casius and Lenisha were linked, so he must have listened to her intentions.
“What did he say?”
Casius clenched his fist.
“He asked what I think about making that strange woman the Empress! That position is…….”
Casius licked his lips.
His face showed he didn’t know what to say.
“Casius.”
Lenisha stood up, displaying anger, and came before Casius.
She bowed her head and stroked Casius’s cheek.
To the surprised Casius, Lenisha whispered.
“My good little dog.”
She had finally voiced what she had been thinking.
Casius blinked.
He was well over 6 feet tall. And now…
After the little gentlewoman, a puppy.
Heat rose in Casius’s head.
He was going insane…….
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.”
