Luiana Cheveni.
Lancer had heard about her, the leader of the Dark Knight Order. She was known for wielding a sword covered in ice, making her seem like a witch descending onto the battlefield.
“Knight Cheveni.”
“You can call me Luia.”
“Then please call me Lancer too.”
“Sure, Lancer.”
After a brief greeting, Luia looked at Lancer intently. Lancer wondered how Luia, who was much smaller than him, managed to rise to the position of the Knight Order’s leader.
But now was the time to resolve Sini’s issue rather than pondering his curiosity.
“Luia, if it’s okay, I’d like to take charge of Sini.”
“Do you want to become friends?”
“Huh?”
“Sini wants to be friends with you, Lancer.”
After glancing at the standing Sini, Lancer, with slightly pursed lips, said, “Since she wants to be friends with me, how about I teach her some simple swordsmanship?”
“If that’s the case, since she wants to be friends with you, I plan to teach her disguise and assassination techniques. That way, she can stay by the princess’s side like air and protect her.”
Princess.
After coming to the Northern Crown, Lancer didn’t like that title.
Why did everyone refer to Ariana as a princess?
“It’s not Princess; it’s Her Highness.”
Luia tilted her head.
“Even the ruler of the Northern Crown doesn’t deprive me of my freedom.”
“Freedom or not, isn’t using such a title risky when the princess hasn’t even debuted yet? What will others think if they hear it?”
Luia’s eyes narrowed.
“People from the East seem to overly protect their princess.”
“It’s just providing appropriate protection.”
“Even if the princess doesn’t mention being called ‘Her Highness,’ I don’t think it’s your place as a mere knight to intervene.”
They couldn’t see eye to eye.
Lancer thought he might not be able to get along with this stubborn woman and decided to keep quiet.

The carriage of the Carha family was black with a red border, and an eagle emblem was engraved in red.
The carriage wasn’t very spacious, so Ariana was concerned that her knees might touch Cyrus sitting opposite her.
Cyrus was staring out of the window absentmindedly. The light coming through the window created dark shadows, making him look like a finely crafted sculpture.
“What kind of person is Duke Jeorge?”
Suddenly, he threw a strange question.
Ariana found it odd that he brought up the topic of Jeorge out of the blue but answered, “Well, hmm, an unusual person?”
“An unusual person.”
“He prays to the gods without reservation, and he curses the gods with no restraint. It seems like he suspects me, but at the same time, he seems to be trying to protect me. It’s hard to understand his intentions.”
Cyrus frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with Ariana’s answer. His red eyes, gazing outside, turned towards Ariana.
Ariana felt strange every time he looked at her.
Now, those eyes were no longer intimidating, and she knew he wouldn’t do anything harmful to her, but oddly, her heart felt tight.
Afraid that Cyrus might notice her feelings, she brought up a topic she shouldn’t have.
“He once suggested a bet, and as a reward, he wanted a handful of my hair.”
Cyrus’s face twisted.
Ariana was surprised to see him expressing emotions like this for the first time.
He soon wiped away the expression and said, “So that’s why the princess’s hair is shorter than before.”
“Yes, I lost.”
“What did you bet?”
“Whether I could come to the Northern Crown or not. My father didn’t want to send me far away, so I bet on Donghuje’s help for me to come to the Northern Crown.”
“But the princess safely arrived at the Northern Crown without Donghuje’s help.”
“If Donghuje hadn’t helped, my father wouldn’t have allowed it.”
“I see.”
Cyrus, seemingly uninterested, turned his gaze back outside the window, but Ariana heard him mutter something under his breath.
“Crazy son of a b****.”
I must have misheard. The Crown Princess wouldn’t use such vulgar language.
Thinking so, Cyrus looked back at Ariana.
“Why does the princess trust such a weird guy?”
“Well… no matter how much I think about it, I don’t think Donghuje would betray my father.”
“But what part of Donghuje gives you that trust?”
“Well, just a feeling?”
“Ridiculous. Intuition is not absolute, Princess.”
“I know. But… no, Crown Prince. Why do I have to endure this kind of treatment from the Crown Prince now? Just as Donghuje can choose someone to trust, can’t I?”
“Of course.”
“But why…?”
“Because it’s strange. Betting with hair as a reward… If the princess had won, was she planning to receive Donghuje’s hair?”
“Why would I want his hair?”
Ariana, startled, spoke, and Cyrus’s expression softened slightly.
“Then what did the princess bet?”
“I bet on Donghuje’s sword.”
“Why would you want something of Donghuje’s?”
“Then what else would I bet in a bet? It’s common to wager something the other person has.”
Ariana couldn’t understand why they were having such a conversation. While Cyrus was an unpredictable person, there had never been a time when she couldn’t grasp his inner thoughts through their conversations.

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.”
