Meridian rubbing Herdian's giving ring. Waiting for the stone in the center to glow dimly before speaking.
"Dwarves."
"Miss?" His voice was a bit panicked. "Had something happened, Miss? Miss all right?"
"Calm down. I was sitting on my bed. I called you to talk about something."
He heard the sound of him breathing. "certain, Miss. What can I help you with?"
"I heard the priest is coming to visit me."
Herdian must have been surprised. "Dion tell Miss?"
If he asked Dion and Dion answered no, then Meridian would be suspicious in Herdian's eyes. "No. Someone told me."
".... Do you mind if I find out, miss? I'm sorry to be so presumptuous, but I have to make sure no one else tries to do anything bad to Miss."
"I'll tell you when it's time." The meridians chose to blatantly hide it. "Believe me. You'll be the first one I tell."
".... I trust Miss." I don't know why his voice is smiling. "Then, Miss, what can I do for Miss?"
"I want you and Your Majesty to come with me. Not Dion or Luke."
"May I ask why, Miss? Of course I'll come if Miss asks."
"You know my hatred for the temple. If the mana around me is volatile, Your Majesty will do something and you can telepath with me. It's a troublesome task, Young Master. I intentionally made you—"
"No, Miss. I'm gonna come. I will immediately inform Your Majesty of Miss's request. Please don't nod at me."
"Then all right." Meridians rubbed the head of Raven lying on her thigh. "I'll see you in two days. See you, Young Master."
"See you, Nonaku."
Communication was cut off after Meridian rubbed the stone and the light dimmed.
At that time, it turned out that Raven immediately issued something that bothered him from the beginning. "I've been thinking about this since I've known you, Miss." The cat looked at him with sparkling golden eyes. "How can a noble lady like you behave like .. I don't know, should I call her the ruler of the world?"
"World ruler?"
"You're not afraid of anything. No matter what people tell you, even when I might hurt you, you act like it's just normal. Even a war veteran would not be silent, or at least would be restless if they were taken hostage. But you're always okay. And you're a woman. Noble lady, youngest daughter of the Marquis and future wife of the crown prince."
Meridian understands that is suspicious. The problem is that he cannot pretend like this world is not an artificial world.
Want the god, want the prince, want the people usually made Halu Laila.
To them, Meridian turned out to behave like a king who knew the magnitude of his power. While Meridian instead felt he was acting normal— treated them as novel characters.
"Of course." Meridian shrugs shoulders. "Maybe I'm just pretending."
"You like secrets."
"Maybe."
...*...
Think Meridians at least Andaru and Herdian will come two days later, on the same day the priest comes, because are they not both heirs of a great position?
But it is called novel. Nothing is more important than love.
The two gathered the night after that.
Complete with Dion, although Luke is not present because Meridian asks him to return alone.
"How are you doing, Nonaku?"
Meridian was now sitting on the dining table chair despite her breath being stifled from exhaustion. "I thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
Although it sucks to be such a weakly ill woman, thanks to her, Meridians do not have to meet the False. That's why he thanked me.
"You really pamper me with your generosity."
Dion could feel him glancing.
That was also one of the Meridian's plans now.
Uncovering the secret Dion seemed to be trying to keep from the Meridians right now. Now he knows that Dion is a perverted brother who fucks his cousin's sister—which is legally a temple in this world should not—even just casually do that with Luke.
At least, Meridian sure. Because now his position and Dion's the same.
Both people who do forbidden things to satisfy personal 'desire.
Sometimes there are novels whose characters are made well at the beginning, it turns out he becomes a villain at the end. The meridian must know what kind of character Dion is and what his development is.
Now that he had done this and that, it was time to go into the second stage of the plan to Boost Laila's Creation Figure.
Very cliche. Make him jealous.
In the real world or in novels, jealousy always shows the identity of a person, whether a woman or a man.
"Aren't you asking me to spoil you? Of course I kept my word." Andaru leaned slightly towards him. "I'm sorry I made you have to be like this, Nonaku. I really wanted to find a softer solution, but if I didn't, no one would come near you."
"Please don't hesitate to do what you think is right." Meridian smiled gently.
For a moment, he suddenly felt his body goosebumps.
But it seemed like it was also a good sign, for the Original Meridian.
"Talking about it, Young Duke, you have also been a great help to me all this time." Meridian turned to smile at Herdian. She faintly saw a reddened murat in her ear, though she tried hard not to show it.
Slap-bang.
But now she looks so sweet, anyway. Perhaps because, in particular, the Meridians were no longer hostile towards Herdian.
"Your Majesty."
"What's wrong?"
"What about my marriage and yours?"
Everyone is jerking.
"Meridians." Dion immediately made a sound. "Stop talking and eat. You should get back to bed."
"But, Brother, I did promise His Majesty to talk about it. Mumpung Brother and Young Master are here, then we can discuss it in terms of politics together. Especially, about the temple."
"That's a great idea." Andaru didn't seem to care much for Dion and Herdian's expression. For his indifference to it, Meridian admitted he did indeed reflect the attitude of a ruler.
It doesn't waver if you're sure something belongs to him.
Meridian's gaze was fixed on Herdian. He just smiled. A very gentle smile that he might never let out except for a reason.
Did Miss want to say something?
He's got.
Don't like me, Young Master.
Herdian's eyelids widened for a moment.
Is Miss feeling disturbed?
No. gabe. I just don't want to waste a guy like you.
What do you mean Miss?
Meridian was already thinking carefully about what he would do.
First, he'll find out Dion's secret. Then he will marry Andaru as the novel wishes. He will also begin to love Andaru as the female lead of the novel should have ended.
If necessary, he will sacrifice Luke and Dion after their secrets are revealed. Punishing them as villains so that all things that should have been completed.
After that ... The meridian will return.
However, if he turns out not to return, then Meridian will go with Raven. Go to the forest of darkness to resurrect the demon nation and destroy the temple.
Meridian had a premonition marrying Andaru would not make his problem complete, but he would try the simplest thing first.
Because that's all he can do.
