When The Silver Bell Of Charlotte's Pharmacy Rings (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 139
“You, Your Majesty, know better than anyone that it’s nothing but an excuse.”
Charlotte spat out the words bitterly. The sharp indifference had vanished without a trace, like sand blown away by the wind, leaving only an old, lingering pain in its wake.
“You claimed to trust my father’s abilities? Then why didn’t you properly inform him about what he’d truly be facing? That it was a demon—one beyond the comprehension of any unprepared mortal, whose age defied estimation—why didn’t you at least give him a warning?”
At those words, a fierce light flashed in King Ryuen’s eyes. She straightened her posture and gazed at Charlotte with bloodshot eyes burning crimson.
“I assure you—your father surely understood what he was chasing. Perhaps at first, he merely sought a beast spoken of only in old tales, but each time he ventured deeper into the Land of Torment, his understanding grew clearer. He came to know precisely what it was he pursued.”
“That’s impossible. My father wasn’t so reckless! It wasn’t just his own life at stake—it was the lives of every member of his party. He wouldn’t have taken such a risk!”
King Ryuen’s lips twisted slowly, crookedly. Her expression was deeply enigmatic and laden with meaning—filled with indescribable sorrow, profound regret, and pity, yet also mingled with the irritation and impatience one feels when confronted by utter foolishness.
“Don’t presume you know your parents entirely.”
Charlotte’s words stuck in her throat. Matiel, too, turned involuntarily toward King Ryuen at those words. Much meaning was condensed within that brief sentence—truths so sharp they made one afraid even to touch them.
Among those truths were some bearing King Ryuen’s own name. Not only Feriera, but even her two sons—Adonion and, indeed, even Largo—did not fully know King Ryuen’s true nature.
The king spoke again, her voice slightly gentler and wearier than before.
“Do you understand? There is no greater folly than a parent believing they know their child completely—and the same holds true for children. Children sleep peacefully, believing their parents will neither age nor die. But don’t we realize, once we grow up, that no parent is immortal—and likewise, no parent is without secrets?”
For a moment, Charlotte felt as though King Ryuen were speaking not to her, nor to Matiel, nor even to little Feriera, who might have just fallen asleep outside the door.
Then to whom? Charlotte surmised the king was speaking to herself. What had she seen of her own parents? What had she heard? And what silence had she been forced to keep?
“Your Majesty.”
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…

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.”
