This Life, I Will Save The Duke (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 64
Surprisingly, the person Kaius had arranged to meet together with was Empress Catherine.
Kaius had promised compensation to the owner of Pink Rose Garden, and met Empress Catherine in the tea room farthest from the accident site. He had asked for the lighting to be dimmed, and Empress Catherine didn’t seem to mind at all.
“…Yes?”
“I already apologized, Your Majesty. I’d promised to persuade His Majesty to appoint Miss Rosalyn as duchess if the two of them divorced. I never expected they’d go this far and cause such danger.”
It was utterly unimaginable—the person behind Rosalyn had been the empress herself. And now, another apology? When Ariel’s bewildered gaze landed on Kaius, he gave a slight nod.
“…It’s alright, Your Majesty. Everything has been properly settled.”
Watching this, Kaius set down the teacup he’d been holding.
“It seems the apology is finished. Now, separate from my wife’s matter, I have a proposal.”
Empress Catherine frowned as she listened to what Kaius said next.
“So… you’re asking us to hand over our entire hotel to Kaltenbach?”
“I’ve heard the House of Lantiano is currently in severe financial distress. Guests have significantly dwindled as well. Thus, my offer is the most reasonable way to overcome this crisis. I’m not asking for it for free—I’m willing to purchase it at market value. Please discuss this thoroughly with Duke Lantiano when you return, Your Majesty.”
“…I see. Then, is that all you needed?”
“My business is done. Now, let’s return to the matter concerning my wife. I’ve learned that the lands adjacent to the Retiana border belong to the House of Lantiano. If you transfer ownership of those territories to my wife as an apology, I won’t inquire further about the incident. Officially, we can present it as the empress’s filial gesture in return for my wife curing the Empress Dowager’s headaches. It’s practically abandoned land anyway, so it shouldn’t cause significant loss. What do you say?”
Empress Catherine stared for a long while at the man who could have once become her husband. She finally understood why Emperor Hart was so jealous of Duke Elbaltan.
This man never missed an opportunity and was so meticulously thorough that he left no room to escape.
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.”
