“Vice Count!”
The people screamed in terror.
Christine had caught the Empress’s whip as it flew toward him. The long whip coiled around his hand, drawing blood.
“Would you care to explain the situation, Your Majesty the Empress?” he asked, his face calm and composed.
The Empress, who had been standing before him holding the whip, looked visibly frightened.
“I was speaking with the Duchess. It is none of the Count’s concern.”
“It didn’t look like a conversation to me.”
Christine’s expression was indifferent, but his pale blue eyes were chilling.
The atmosphere among Zimmer and the dozen or so followers standing behind him was menacing. They were all former members of the White Ghost Knight Order, willing to lay down their lives for the Count.
“How dare you question me now!”
Unable to withstand the pressure, the Empress screamed,
Chk!
Simultaneously, Christine’s followers moved to block the Empress, forming a wall before her, a warning not to harm him again.
“That’s enough. Everyone, back off.”
However, at Christine’s command, they all silently retreated. That was enough to overwhelm the Empress.
“If Your Majesty has finished speaking, may I take the Duchess away?”
The Empress had no choice but to release Adel.
“Be careful. Even the hero of the empire can fall to that woman’s cup of tea.”
But she did not forget her final barb.
“Thank you for the warning.”
Christine bowed politely.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]“Are you alright? Where is the palace infirmary? Let’s go there quickly.”
As soon as they were away from the Empress, Adel urged Christine.
“Don’t fuss. It’s no worse than a mosquito bite.”
He looked down at his hand nonchalantly, then sat down on a bench in the garden. Zimmer had already sent the others away.
“Let me see.”
As Adel examined Christine’s hand, she was shocked.
His large palm was covered in blood. It seemed less like a wound from the whip and more like an injury he had sustained earlier.
“Did you hurt your hand before coming here?”
“I was practicing with my sword.”
He replied nonchalantly.
“But why did you intervene? It was between the Empress and me.”
Adel, looking almost ready to cry, pulled out a handkerchief and wrapped it around his wound. But she didn’t realize that intervening was worth it to Christine.
“If I hadn’t intervened, this would have happened to you.”
“Don’t be ridiculous. I would have dodged quickly.”
“So you didn’t need my help?”
“Of course, I’m grateful for your help. But in the future, I’ll handle my affairs myself.”
I don’t want you to get hurt because of me.
Adel swallowed the last part.
“Come to think of it, this handkerchief is mine. Have you always carried it?”
Christine held up the handkerchief tied around his hand and asked. It was from Mrs. Hans’ party when he had wrapped her injured hand.
“I carried it to give it back to you.”
Adel hastily explained.
“You could have given it back when I was home.”
As he stared intently, Adel was flustered. His eyes always seemed to read her true feelings.
“I forgot. Do you think I only think about returning your handkerchief? I have so much to do!”
“But why are you angry?”
“When did I get angry?”
The more she denied it, the more Christine smirked.
“Your voice is getting louder, and now I see your face is getting red… Ah!”
Adel stomped on his foot.
“What are you doing?”
Christine raised an eyebrow, but Adel bravely warned him.
“Continue teasing me, and I won’t let you off!”
He couldn’t help but laugh at her audacity.
“You have a temper, indeed. That’s why you clashed with the Empress and this happened.”
“It was my first time today, so I was caught off guard. I won’t fall for it next time!”
Although Adel was ambitious, he looked unconvinced.
“It’s impossible to face the Empress.”
“Really. Do you think I’ll fall for it again? Today, I even gave Seira a good hit.”
“Seira Osworld?”
“Yes, there was something going on.”
Thinking of the nearmiss at Mrs. Hans’ party, today’s incident seemed trivial. But remembering Seira, dragging Mrs. Hans away in pain, made her feel a little better.
Thanks to the Empress, that satisfying feeling didn’t last long.
“I support you anyway.”
“Then I’ll go now. Tanya must be waiting after finishing the delivery.”
Certainly, here is the translation of the provided passage:
“I’ll take you there.”
Christine got up from the garden, but Adel waved him off.
“Go get your hand treated quickly. If you leave the wound untreated, it will become serious. We’ll see each other later at home…”
Adel hesitated as she spoke. She had accidentally said they would meet at home.
He’s someone who will leave soon, and they shouldn’t get closer, but she kept forgetting that.
“What’s the matter?”
Christine looked puzzled as Adel suddenly became melancholy.
“No, it’s nothing. I’m going now.”
She tried to leave in a hurry, but he grabbed her.
“You’ll apply the medicine when you get home, won’t you?”
“There’s a clinic inside the palace, isn’t there?”
“I feel like I won’t have time to get treated because I’ll be busy.”

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

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.”
