Spoiler: Chapter 126-130 Part I

Mar answers Lydia’s question about the 11th Maid Mariana and tells her she was helping to clean up the dungeon before he brought Lydia down.

Seeing a serious expression on Mar’s face, Lydia gently rubs Mar’s lower lip which turns his attention to her and he quickly relaxes. Lydia tells him she’s ready and Mar nods. He tells her, “Never, Never stay away from me." Lydia agrees as he gently lifts Lydia into his arms and they jump out the window.

(T/N: I don’t know why he doesn’t use the door..LOL)

****

They both enter the dungeon to be greeted by very loud and excitable guards. Lydia is taken aback backtracking into Mar’s chest wondering why they’re so loud when Mar coldly commands “Get away”.

The two guards jump, bow vigorously, and scramble as if running away like they’re escaping some dangerous beast.

Lydia thinks that’s a strange reaction and looks at Mar asking him, aren't they his men? Mar nods.

Lydia assures Mar that she’ll change their reactions as they must have misunderstood and were taken in by the rumors of him being a tyrant. Mar just smiles.

As they are heading down, Mar is very attentive to Lydia by telling her to watch her step, holding her hand while guiding her down each stone step as he feels it getting dark, and he doesn’t want her to trip and fall.

Lydia, seeing how kind and loving he is, vows she will change his soldier's perception of Mar and that he is NOT a tyrant when they see THIS side of him. (T/N: Fight on Lydia!)

Mar stops for a second and calls her name to ask her something when Lydia stops him and reminds him to tell him hey, what’s my nickname?

Mar stops and corrects himself saying, “Master, you better take that animal’s necklace off.” (T/N: LMAO)

Lydia is confused as the maids tell her it is the latest fashion trend. She tries to explain that it isn’t something worn by animals but by humans.

When they reach the bottom of the stairs, Lydia notices the dungeon is meticulously clean. No rotten or stale smells. She looks at Mar and recalls that’s why he said he asked the maid to help clean.

She tells him he’s so nice and amazing he is to take such good care of the prison. Mar’s like, “Really?” seeing Lydia so pleased with him.

She thinks it’s wonderful thinking he’s so considerate of even his prisoners. She thinks to herself she’s got to make a list of all the sweet things she’s witnessed and it reinforces to her what a wonderful ruler he is for treating his prisoners in such a humane way and that this will help people change their minds about him being a tyrant.

They enter a brightly lit area and Lydia quickly leans into Mar. He puts his arms around her shoulders to hold her tight as he recalls she is afraid of fire.

They finally approach the prison cell and Lydia sees the unconscious Lumel and the Alchemist who are lying on a pile of straw, chained to the wall.

Lydia tells Mar she wants to see them up close as now appearing in front of her, it triggers her memory of the words that were yelled at her, “Lycan”, “Stolen Ability”, and “Astra juice”.

Mar is hesitant at first but guides her up close to the bars to examine them. Bending down she notices they look alright and then...wait a minute...what happened to the Alchemist’s scar on his face? ...wait...do they have …? (T/N: Lydia notices they have make-up on)

She looks at Mar. “Um..isn’t that being too nice?”

Spoiler: Chapter 126-130 Part II

Lydia expected bad people to have wounds and injury because that’s what you see in movies and TV dramas.

Now Lydia worries that people will think the Emperor is ‘weak-minded’ by being so kind by even covering up their bruises and scars on people who do bad things. She starts to get angry at who started the rumors of Mar being a tyrant as she wants to make them pay.

In her excitement and observation of the prisoners, Lydia’s lace necklace strings get caught in the bars, choking her and Mar quickly helps her. Looking down at Lydia, a frowning Mar reminds her that he told her it was dangerous.

Lydia, embarrassed, grins because Mar was right as he’s holding the laces that make up the animal necklace. They have a cute moment when a cough is heard and both turn to see the Alchemist and Rumel awake looking at them.

A frightened Lydia moves behind Mar who coldly tells them how comfortable they must have been sleeping.

The two viciously glare at Lydia telling her they are blaming her for their predicament and suddenly the air in the prison goes sharply cold as Mar threatens them both if they really understand who should be the one talking right now.

The strong energy presses down on both making them tremble and cower violently at the command in his words.

Lydia is witnessing this in awe. No wonder he has a reputation as the “God of War”. She wonders if this ability is what caused the misunderstanding of being a tyrant.

Mar then commands both to answer him as to why they wanted to harm Lydia.

Both still cowering, they look between Mar and Lydia in confusion and shock.

An impatient Mar pulls out a blade pointing it at the two telling him he doesn’t need to keep them alive if they don’t answer him. He asks Lydia to back away from him.

Realizing what he’s going to do, Lydia disobeys as she doesn’t want Mar to kill them as they are the only ones who know what’s going on and she needs to ask them a few things that she had told Mar earlier. Also, she doesn’t want this to add to Mar’s tyrant reputation.

Suddenly the Alchemist asks if Mar is Heron’s emperor.

Rumel looks at Mar and starts to laugh. Rumel asks if Mar is Lydia's Master as he heard Mar mention that word and he points to the “leash” around Lydia’s neck that Mar was holding.

A shocked Lydia thinks, ‘Leash? What leash?! ...This necklace?!’

Mar snaps telling Rumel didn’t command him to ask questions, he told him to answer. A Rumel tells Mar to calm down and Mar snaps telling him he'll calm down after he cuts off that finger that pointed at Lydia.

A worried Lydia wondering about Mar’s menacing behavior backs away from him slightly, which makes Mar turn his head to look at her and mouth tenderly and sweetly…’I’m lying.’

Seeing a relieved Lydia, Mar turns back and asks who wants to die first.

A happy Lydia thinks he’s such a good actor, she wants to take acting lessons too, AND she wants to clap at his performance. (T/N: lmao)

As Mar approaches with his threat, the Alchemist quickly claims that Mar has no need to point his sword at them as they are brothers!

Spoiler: Chapter 126-130 Part III

A stunned Lydia is thinking, is that figuratively or literally?

Then she sees Mar continuing to reach them as if he ignored that statement and the idea hits her. She rushes to Mar and grabs his sleeve. He looks at her wide-eyed as she takes his free hand and places the laces of the necklace in his palm. Mar has no clue what she’s doing as he stares at her but keeps the lace still in his hand and sheaths his blade.

She gives him a desperate wink and declares in front of everyone, “Er..Master! Master! No, listen.”

Like a pet on a leash, a mortified and blushing Lydia swears to herself she will never do this again after this, turns to Rumel and the Alchemist to ask them to elaborate on what they mean.

They snap at her demanding how dare she cut into their conversation and calling her a b****.

Lydia thinks Mar will go threatening again but instead, he frowns at the unpleasant title and clicks his tongue and tells them how slow-witted they are. Lydia questionably looks up at Mar who with one hand holding her lace string and the other starts to caress Lydia’s cheek tenderly and then uses his thumb to rub Lydia’s lower lip saying arrogantly, “The Emperor’s favorite concubine”.

A stunned and blushing Lydia starts to back away but Mar pulls on the leash forcing Lydia to press very close to him.

Both Rumel and the Alchemist protest in astonishment and horror of how can that be!?

Eh? Lydia is confused. What is she some femme fatale or something?! She doesn’t understand their statement and starts to say “No--” but Mar cuts her off saying “That’s right.” and nods and affirms Lydia’s status. Then he gently closes Lydia’s open mouth affectionately.

A conflicted Lydia is torn between either getting angry, laughing in vain, or what can she coordinate in their impromptu ‘acting’.

Suddenly Mar pulls Lydia around her waist so it looks like she’s completely clinging to him so she has to go with option 3.

Both the Alchemist and Rumel groan and express their disappointment.

Lydia tries to poke Mar asking him what the heck is wrong with him!? But instead, Mar ignores her and doesn’t budge, acting as if he’s holding onto his favorite woman. Every time Lydia tries to wiggle away, he pulls her in tighter to his body as if he won’t let her lose her affection for him. (T/N: LOL!)

Rumel yells at Mar how can she be his favorite woman/girlfriend (the literal translation is ‘baby bird’) when she betrayed him and joined Periland?!

Mar laughs looking still and Lydia tells them to “Pick” between the titles they just called her. He then says arrogantly, “So I went back to pick up my baby bird (girlfriend) and you men tried to hurt it.”

A dazed Lydia is thinking wait what?!..now I’m a baby bird (girlfriend) ? And where the heck did you learn to talk like that?!

Both the Alchemist and Rumel look down nervously.

Mar then says coldly, “Now that you’ve noticed, you can crawl on your own.” and unsheathed his blade once more. “Or Die.” Then he pulls Lydia in front of him pulling her close to his chest. A still confused Lydia instinctively puts her hand on his sword arm and then Mar guides his arms to swing the blade back and forth menacingly (like some ‘Eeny, meanie, mighty, moe) between the two men.

Then Mar whispers softly in Lydia’s ear, “Ask them what you wanted to ask them.”

Elated to finally understand what Mar is trying to do, she looks up to Mar and gives him a slight wink. He nods slightly affirming her reaction.

Lydia is now excited as she gets to be the threatening bad guy. She wants to pat Mar’s head for doing such a good job!

She aims the blade at Rumel who calls her a bad name. She questions Rumel what he means by saying Mar is the same as them. Rumel won’t answer Lydia at first, so Mar guides the blade with Lydia holding on to poke and open Rumel’s mouth.

Rumel responds Mar is of the same clan as them. Lydia still not catching on asks does that mean they are not human.

Rumel snarky tells Lydia that she’s the slow-witted one and points at Mar, "The Emperor of Heron you are holding onto now. He's a mixed-race Lycan blood."

Spoiler: Chapter 126-130 Part IV

A stunned Lydia drops her hand to look at Mar. He feels cold and very distant right now. Mar stonily asks the Alchemist about the blood of their race.

The Alchemist gets excited and joyfully exclaims that Mar must already know! Mar turns to swing his sword and a recovered Lydia grabs him quickly indicating that she doesn’t want him to do that.

The panic Alchemist quickly reminds Mar that they are not enemies, in fact, he has been waiting for someone like Mar for the longest time. Their tribe had been experimenting and waiting hundreds of years to create the most powerful half-blood lycan and after so many unsuccessful trials it is Mar who represents the final culmination of all their efforts.

Lydia holding onto Mar and listening to this thinks about everything Mar has gone through from drinking blood, his blood rage, his biological father, etc. This all leads to the story the Alchemist revealed about the Astra flower and the betrayed lover. The war between the Lycans and man is not over yet.

Then the Alchemist claims that Mar must have felt the desire for destruction and revenge against enemies and proclaims that Mar can help them get rid of man forever.

Rumel adds that man has been calling him the blood tyrant and that humans have been using him to battle their wars so the Alchemists ask Mar to join them and complete their revenge and to stop being used by men.

Lydia, still gripping Mar, calls his name but he doesn’t answer her. Instead, he looks at the Alchemist asking him what the plan is.

An excited Alchemist tells Mar that the clan has been planning for years, spreading the Astra weapon in various kingdoms starting with Periland to help humans destroy each other and also recently sent the poison to the kingdom of Tekerion (타케리온) who showed interest in the poison.

Lydia realizes something about the original war between Periland and Heron. Lydia asks the Alchemist if they were the ones who provided the poison to Periland. She wonders if that elongated the war for years which increased the loss of human lives on both sides.

He tells her yes, it was all according to their plan to turn humans against humans. He then turns to Mar telling him to take his revenge as he is one of them.

Mar comments, “Revenge.” as if he’s thinking.

A Panic Lydia hearing them try to seduce Mar, yells at them to stop.

Both start to accuse Lydia again of stealing an ability that rightfully belongs to their clan. They tell Mar they should take Lydia to Vitraro (Vittra where Ella is) and they can extract her abilities from her.

“Interesting….” says Mar as he looks at Lydia, “Explain to me in detail.” he encourages the Alchemist to continue.

A gleeful Alchemist goes on to describe how the spirit of Astrea (Moon God) has always given them their destiny. Every 30 years during a full moon, one of the surviving Lycan descendants is given a fragment of Astrea’s soul and is marked as the successor of Astrea. But for this cycle that ability has disappeared and he points at Lydia saying she has their ability and she must have used some experiment to steal it.

Lydia recalls her uncanny ability to tame or calm any kind of beast.

Rumel urgently pleads to Mar to send Lydia to Vittra as soon as possible as they’re running out of time.

Spoiler: Chapter 126-130 Part V

Lydia tells them to stop and they start yelling again. Mar has had enough so he turns to Lydia telling her to close her eyes and lifts her up in his arms. In a matter of seconds, Mar leaves the prisoners behind chained to the wall in their cell, and escapes out into the open air.

***

It is a few hours later, that Lydia has cleaned herself up from the ordeal and opens to find Mar sitting in the Emperor’s bedroom in a chair.

Lydia asks Mar based on his expression what is wrong. He informs Lydia that he’s commanded his CAC to send the message across the entire continent to cease all military actions and disputes in all kingdoms. He plans to dispatch and split the military troops to all of them as well to start to investigate how far the Lycans have infiltrated all the kingdoms on the continent as they need to be dealt with now.

Since there is only a single Alchemist that can create the poison Astra juice and they have that person locked up, they have control to prevent more production of the weapon.

Lydia sits down and finally asks Mar. Since when has he known he was a part Lycan?

Mar explains that 8 years ago when he was sent out to War by the previous emperor he held onto Lydia’s hand.

Knowing how tough his life has been with having to hide and consume blood, knowing this has given him the reputation of a bloodthirsty tyrant, Lydia comforts Mar commenting on how hard it must have been for him.

Then she quips, “No wonder you're so handsome”, like more handsome than normal men. Which makes Mar laugh.

Both smile and then Lydia quickly remembers about blood. She asks Mar why didn’t he go crazy when she bled during the trowel incident where she cut herself and Mar in the garden.

Lydia wonders if was it because he had consumed some blood earlier that time when she found out about it.

He answers her no, it wasn’t that and Lydia realizes Mar is confirming to her, it’s because of her ability. In possessing the piece of Astera’s soul/spirit in her body, her blood does not trigger this bloodlust.

Lydia wonders, why and if is this okay.

 

I'm lying oh my goodness

 

Can we have a Squeeeee? .....

Spoiler: Chapter 131-135 Part I

Lydia’s mind is spinning over and over bout her ability. Is it because she is not human either? Is she half Lycan? Is that why she has the ability? What is she?

Filled with worry, she looks at Mar and starts sputtering all kinds of statements like maybe it’s a good thing that she is the Lycan’s successor/heir as she has this ability and because of it if she fell and bled, she wouldn’t be in trouble because it doesn’t affect Mar. Tears are starting to form and Mar quickly pulls her face into his hands. She then tells him how animals resonate with her and then about how the Alchemist mentioned that she has the rare ability to raise the Astra flowers because of this spirit in her.

By now tears are falling and Mar pulls Lydia into his arms. Lydia asks Mar, “Who am I?”

She remembers her real name from Korea but now she’s Lydia Odette in a novel. Did she do something wrong? Is that why she’s not human?

Lydia mentions she didn’t even know the flower was an Astra flower, she just thought it was a regular plant. But then if she hadn’t discovered this flower, if she hadn’t started to grow it, she would have never met Mar or Yurishina. She thought she was just a supporting character.
(MTL)

L: "I'm scared. I don't know why I have this weird ability, ... am I really human?”
M: “Lydia...”
L: “Is it my fault?” “ I've been so presumptuous in trying to avoid fate that I've become like this---."
M: "If it wasn't for you, we would have played into their hands without knowing their tricks. The humans who got the Astra would have set up a war, and I would slaughter countless human lives, and it would have been the way they wanted it."​

Lydia wonders if she did something wrong in the flow of this story and that maybe her mistakes will cause another war as she was so easily lured in by Lumel and the Alchemist.
(MTL)

M: "There's nothing wrong with you."
M: “I won’t let anyone tell you that you’re at fault.”
M: "Order me. If you tell me to go to war, I'll do it, and if I tell you to kill all of the Lycans, whether they’re inhuman or human, I'll sweep a cub of ants out of existence.” Mar pressed back in an arrogant voice that matched very well. Without a moment's hesitation, with the will to carry out whatever it is right away as long as I open my mouth.
M: "If I get rid of all those who blame you, your fault will not exist," whispered a cool but sweet voice. Mar mumbled, petting me dearly with a dainty touch.
M: "Do whatever you want. I'll protect you.” The reliable remark melted away the fears that had piled up like a wet sand castle collapsing. I cried and leaned into his chest. Marr gave me a warm hug as always.​

Lydia mumbles asking him what he plans to do now. Mar tells her, whatever she wishes for him to do. This makes Lydia laugh affectionately as Mar strokes her hair.

She asks Mar if he still hates humans. Mar questions why she would ask him that. Lydia can’t tell him because she wonders if the Lycans will drive another war that hits the continent and he has to be called to battle again.

Getting no response from her, he teases Lydia not to worry he would never harm her even though she is human. Lydia tells him she doesn’t want him to bear the burdens on himself but Mar tells her, to just give him the orders and he’ll eliminate every Lycan that existed.

Lydia protests that Lycans are a part of him and that maybe Mar might like being with his own kind. Mar chuckles informing Lydia that they would use him as well as the humans using him so it would be the same.

M: "It doesn't matter because humans and lycans are the same." ​

As Lydia is still pondering, Mar asks, “Then can I kill them both?” L: “No!”

Lydia doesn’t want a war. As she’s thinking she snuggles closer into Mar.

Feeling guilty because Mar has chosen her above all else, she tells Mar, thank you.

Spoiler: Chapter 131-135 Part II

Mar informs Lydia that the Periland army is retreating back home and they will pass this villa area as they failed to build a united front with other kingdoms. The surprising news Mar tells her that there is a Lycan spy in the Periland army and that he must find them.

Still in Mar’s arms, Lydia starts to think out loud if it’s Galen. or oh no, she hopes it’s not Eusis.

Mar asks who that is. She tells him he's the Marquis and leader of the Terrains.

Lydia notices the mood has changed and she asks Mar what’s the problem? He tells her there’s a big problem. She pushes him away accusing him if he’s thinking about being a Lycan spy.

Mar grins and caresses Lydia’s face. It’s because she mentioned another man’s name and he doesn’t like that.

Stunned for a moment, Lydia burst out laughing. She teases him, how can he joke like this? He tells her he’s serious. She smiles and walks back into his arms commenting alright she’s got that he’s jealous as Mar wraps his arms around her waist to pull her in even more closely to him.

Lydia finally asks if Mar is bothered that she has a fragment of the Lycan’s heir/successor in her.

Mar tells her no just like she doesn’t care that he is part Lycan.

L: My heart was filled with emotions and I was at a loss.
L: "------."
L: If I hadn't met you. If I didn't know you. Would I have been able to live in this world if I had? I twisted myself, so deep that I could hardly express my feelings.​

Spoiler: Chapter 131-135 Part III

Mar releases Lydia but she stops him mid-way and she puts her arms around his neck to pull him closer to her. She puts her lips on his neck and begins to mark Mar.

(Sorry to future translators if my MTLs + edit are slightly off )

L: “I want to be with you till the end,” I whispered with my eyes closed. I laughed a little because I liked the touch of the cool skin that touched my lips. I'd like to bite it, but I don't think he’d like it.

L: "So, stay by my side."
M: "Ly----- Dia."
L: “I told you not to call me that," I said to Mar.
...
L: And, on a good impulse, bit Mar's smooth skin. "My nickname....". It felt good too.
…
L: I’m not a vampire as I laughed internally. Anyway, I liked it because it seemed that the red spots on his white skin were marked as mine.
...
M: "-----Master." Slowly descending red eyes and my gaze met. That's a relief, I guess it didn't hurt much. You don't look bad at all. I smiled pleasantly, and looked at Marr's neck, which was satisfactorily marked.

L: “You’ll stay with me until the end?” Can I bite one more time? It's pretty to be reddish. Maybe it's because his hair is silver, but I can see the sign that it's mine. I hastened to ask the question with greedy eyes, I watched as if I wanted to eat Mar.

Then Marr looked at me with red eyes, which had grown a little, without blinking. I touched the red mark on the neck I had broken, and pressed for an answer without a word. With a desire to possess, a sense of elation rose to me. I'm sure I'm touching Mar.

M: “Of course,” finally Mar gave me the answer I wanted. A subdued, deep voice, as if holding something back, gave me a bright smile. Then, he pulled up his upper body and approached me, the coveted target.

L: "You, I promised. I'll never let you go." I whispered in his ear like blowing on the wind and sank my teeth slightly on Mar’s earlobe. The tender but thick flesh was bitten gently. When I took my lips off and looked at them, there were traces of my brand again. It was a moment when I smiled contentedly at the sight and touch I felt.​

"Oh." In the blink of an eye, I was pushed back and seated in an open chair.​

As soon as I settled down, the chair leaned towards the wall and in no time Mar's thick shadow dipped over me.​

When I looked up, Marr's face was slightly red, with his lower jaw fluttered as if he had bit his molar. "You----- Now."

It was strange. I couldn't understand why Marr's face made me laugh.

I stretched out my arms as if attracted to something and whispered. "Come here." I wanted to capture all the unique facial expressions.

I wrapped my arm around the neck of the hard-tied Marr. I thought I'd pull it towards me like bringing an animal under the cover, but I didn't have to. Because as soon as my arm touched, Marr had covered me up like a rush.

"Yes----." The lips engaged without a moment's break. Rough and hasty kisses followed. It seemed that Marr was trying to restrain himself to the fullest, but he became increasingly furious that he could not control it. With the sound of kisses, the chair became cramped.

I dropped my arm around Mar's neck feeling light headed. It was not known whether it was due to insufficient breathing or the movement that penetrated mercilessly.

While digging like a thirsty beast, Marr wriggled his eyebrows. He seemed to have noticed that I had pinched his arm. I leaned back more. Then Marr leaned more towards me.

One arm that held my waist naturally touched the wall. I smiled faintly and put my arms around again. Then, he pressed his lips closer, which had become loose due to the tilt of his posture. Naturally the warmth was tangled stronger with a clunky sound.

My senses kept getting more sensitive and my whole body heated up. It was when the sound of a waspy voice came out and I scratched Marr's neck with my fingertips. "----I love you," groaned his tongue so violently that he was frightened by the confession he whispered.

Finally, Marr lifted me up.​

Spoiler: Chapter 131-135 Part IV

It is the next morning, a sleeping Lydia is aroused awake by a gentle touch brushing away the hair that is covering her face. Lydia's bare body is covered by a bed sheet and there is a very warm body lying next to her. She protests that she’s still sleepy.

As she moves, Lydia groans because her whole body is sore. A gentle hand pulls up the sheet to cover her shoulders as Lydia opens her eyes.

She is greeted by a very happy and loving Mar who asks if she’s feeling alright and worried if she’s cold. Lydia is a bit jealous; he looks fine while she’s all sore and her throat is hoarse. Mar leaves the bed and hands her a glass of honey water to drink. When she’s done, he then lays on top of the covers next to Lydia.

Looking up, Lydia blushes as she sees a nicely chiseled and muscular chest. Mar leans down to kiss her forehead asking her to rest more this morning. Then he proceeds to wrap his bare arms around Lydia to hug her close over the blanket.

Lydia’s heart is aflutter as she tries to divert Mar’s attention, stuttering that he’s probably busy now with Periland’s army coming their way.

It doesn’t help that Mar is slightly grazing and kissing Lydia’s neck. Mar informs Lydia as he kisses her shoulder that she shouldn’t worry. They are the ones in trouble, not her.

Lydia thinks that’s right as the war is coming to an end. The lycan plot has been uncovered and their leader is currently held in a cell down in the dungeon. They’ll probably capture the Lycan spies within the Periland army. Lydia starts to change her perception that Yurishina is always the main character and not her. Now this is her story not the story in a book. Content, she leans into Mar’s chest and tells Mar she really likes him.

She can feel Mar’s heart beat and she starts to blubber against his chest. Lydia tells Mar how she wouldn’t have been happy without Mar and that she wouldn’t have felt this warm if it hadn’t been for him. How he’s given her so much happiness and finally she tells him.

L: “I love you so much.”
M: "----Such words." Stroke. In an instant my body was turned over and placed straight on the bed. The aches of my muscles were shallow, but a soft bed absorbed the shock and fortunately swallowed the painful groan. No, in fact, I didn't even have time to groan.​

Lydia realizes the blanket is being pulled away as cold air brushes her skin. She starts to laugh trying to pull the blanket back up but it’s late as Mar captures her lips and starts to kiss her repeatedly.

Mar, who closely kissed along the jawline, raised his head and found her lips. I stroked Marr's hard muscles, which drew a complete wall contour, and froze with ecstasy. "Really, you look like a wolf---" You told me to take a good rest.

Mar burst into a short laugh at my slightly unfair voice and whispered, biting my lower lip with natural virtue. "You didn't know? I am a wolf." With a sweet and deep voice, my reason disappeared. I thought muscle pain would probably get worse.​

Spoiler: Chapter 131-135 Part V

Lydia sleeps until noon and the maids in the villa help attend to her needs. The maids make comments about how beautiful and radiant she looks. They want to know her secret.

Lydia blushes and doesn’t say anything.

Mar and Lydia spend two whole days alone in the main bedroom before finally emerging to go outside and explore as a couple the next few days.

While Mar is out preparing for the coming of the Periland army, Lydia invites Mariana to tea but the maid declines telling her how busy she is. Lydia thinks she will need to make Marian’s days easier so she isn’t so busy.

Mar appears behind Lydia and brings in raspberry pancakes like the ones they used to eat at Lilly Castle. Excited Lydia cuts a piece and starts to feed Mar.

As they’re being lovey-dovey, Lydia asks Mar why there is no one around to converse with as Lydia wants to meet other people.

Mar confesses that he told others to not come as they got in the way.

An exasperated Lydia lectures Mar that he should visit his soldiers because she wants them to see that it will show how friendly and warm he is. This will start to help erase the unsavory reputation he has.

Mar isn’t very receptive to her idea but as Lydia starts hand-feeding him bites of food, Mar finally agrees to her suggestion.

Out in the garden, Lydia is planning on knitting another sweater for Mar. As she’s starting to measure Mar outside, she notes he seems to have shrunk a little because being away from her for the past few weeks he hasn’t been eating very well.

Mar grumbles but doesn’t deny it. While wrapping cloth strips like measuring tape, Lydia starts to become flushed as she tries to tie the strip around his chest to get the right measurement. Mar sees this and whispers into her ear if she’d like for him to take off his shirt so that she can get a more accurate measurement. Lydia blushes even more.

Later they’re now sitting in the garden as Lydia uses Mar to hold up the wrapped yarn with his hands to make it easier for her to knit the sweater. Chuckling, Lydia comments that her man is very good with his hands.

Suddenly Mar drops the yarn and looks to Lydia asking if have they finally moved to “Fiance?”

Lydia looks up at Mar, noting he’s still thinking about that, huh? She then says boyfriend, fiance, he’s still the same as she drops her knitting and caresses his cheek.

Mar rubs against her hand murmuring, I prefer to be your fiance or even better your husband. Mar is using his face to seduce Lydia and she drops her hands admonishing him to stop using his pretty face to change her mind.

A sulking Mar grumbles that he brought her her favorite pancake and how hard it is to bring a chef all the way from sun castle...DOH!

Lydia goes wait a minute, did you just say you brought in a chef?! She jumps onto his lap confronting him about the food he’s brought to her in the past and now. A nervous Mar confesses that he did lie about making the food and that it was from Sun Castle’s chef because he was afraid she would be disappointed in his cooking skills. Though he did confess he did try. He had commanded the chef to teach him how to make her favorite foods, it just didn’t work out.

Mar looks at Lydia anxiously and she sighs reminding Mar that they had agreed to discuss his faults. She forgives him because it probably was a lot of pressure at the time of what she thought he could do as her servant. Then she tells him okay let’s drop the husband, fiance talk which makes Mar pout again asking Why?

Lydia is trying to think how she can explain to Mar what a proposal means. Mar wraps his arms around her waist to pull her deeper into his lap asking what she want him to do, ‘master’.

Lydia decides she’ll just propose marriage to Mar instead so she begins to stutter out the proposal...when they are both interrupted by one of Mar’s soldiers informing them Periland’s army has arrived.

Mar is irritated and looks fierce when hearing the news as he is working on his plan as to how he will improve their relationship with the Periland kingdom. Lydia smiles and encourages Mar that he will be able to overcome the reputation of being cruel by diplomatically reaching out to them. They will change when they see him in a different light.

Later, Lydia sees Mar off with his soldiers before he confronts the Periland army.

Lydia notices Mar’s military forces are standing stiffly looking straight ahead as Mar slyly asks that Lydia kiss him in front of everyone.

Mar is wearing a white knitted sweater as part of his uniform that Lydia spent the night making for him.

Blushing furiously, Lydia comments why in front of all these people and Mar bends over and they kiss. She tells him to be careful and not get into any fights as she doesn’t want dirt getting on the sweater she made him.

Mar pulls Lydia into a quick hug grinning as he kisses her forehead before he mounts his horse and marches the army away to meet with Periland’s army.

Lydia watches as they disappear into the forest.

 

Thank you so much!!! You are amazing!!! Im dying from their sweetness This is the best couple ever. Every chapter just so cute and funny. I really hope the author could give us more of the snu snu scene

 

KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

OWWIE MY LITTLE HEART HAS WOUNDED

 

Spoiler: Chapter 136-140 Part I

Since Mar is gone, Lydia walks back with the maids. One comment it’s the first time they’ve seen her husband and how handsome he is, but is reprimanded for her impropriety by a head maid.

Lydia thinks...hmm..this is a great opportunity to use the maids to spread positive gossip about Mar and since they don’t know he’s the emperor of heron, let’s paint him in a kind and considerate light. She invites all of the maids to have tea with her to encourage gossiping.

She helps the maids to be comfortable talking about her 'husband' and they talk about how they’ve noticed he’s so considerate. Lydia nods and agrees. They agree a handsome man must be more considerate. Lydia is encouraging the positive feedback loop. By the time Lydia’s done, they’re all singing praises of him. Praying to God to find a man just like Mar.

A bit later, a sentry approaches Lydia and calls her the “Great Madam” as she is considered as the highest-ranked person in the soldier's eyes with Mar gone.

The maids laugh at the title noting with the husband away, the soldiers obey her command thanks to her husband. It reinforces what a wonderful man is. Lydia is embarrassed at the awkward title.

Lydia asks what brings him here and he tells her a woman riding a horse has appeared at their villa telling the soldier that she got lost and is asking to rest for a few hours at their villa.

Both the sentry and Lydia are a bit skeptical at this excuse because though the villa looks like a recreational lodging, its location is well hidden so for someone to be lost did not sit well with them.

Lydia is about to tell the sentry to give the woman some supplies but dismisses the stranger when the soldier mentions the horse that the woman was riding was large and sort of wild. Lydia asks to describe the horse and woman.

He mentions the horse is fierce and the woman has pink hair. Suddenly Lydia jumps up and tells him she wants to see this stranger.

Both the maids and soldiers are startled as Lydia rushes to the front of the villa with all of them trailing behind her.

As soon as Lydia sees the woman she exclaims, “Yurishina”. A Yurishina sitting on Hugo with her hood covering most of her head.

Lydia thinks wait a minute. Mar goes to confront the Perliand army but if the spiritual leader of Periland escapes that would cause problems for Mar’s peace treaty so she tells the soldier, we have to capture her and Lydia forms a plan.

She quickly turns to her maids commenting to Tina, didn’t she want to capture a handsome man? Suddenly all the other maid's gang to Lydia saying ‘Me too’, I want to also capture a handsome man!

Lydia tells the maids if you help her, she’ll make sure to introduce handsome men to them.

Spoiler: Chapter 136-140 Part III

With her plan in place, Lydia slowly opens the villa door and whispers to Hugo (the horse) to come closer. Obeying her command, the horse approaches Lydia and a shocked Yurishina seeing her, calls out Lydia’s name in joy.

Yurishina asks if Lydia is alright and how did she get to this villa. Lydia tells Yurishina it’s her house and to come in. As Yurishina dismounts she is greeted by the 11 maids welcoming her to the villa.

Everyone leads Yurishina inside. Lydia trying to distract Yurishina asks how she ended up coming to the villa and where are the others.

Yurishina awkwardly tells that the Periland army was confronted by the Heron army on their return home and she was the one to escape.

Pretending to be surprised, Lydia nods and guides Yurishina for refreshments and a conversation. Lydia tells Yurishina she’ll be fine staying with her for the time being.

Yurishina is curious how Lydia ended up at the villa when Lydia makes a signal and 6 maids start to help Yurishina freshen up. While they are assisting a very distracted Yurishina from leaving, she asks Lydia what happened since they last met.

Lydia tells Yurishina while wandering around she ran into her servant, Mar. She doesn’t tell Yurishina that Lumel and the alchemists are Lycans yet.

Yurishina is very happy that Lydia has found her servant and asks where he’s at. Lydia tells her, he’s out hunting.

After a bath and new clothing, Lydia invites Yurishina to join her for dinner, and an elaborate meal is placed in front of her. Taking up her offer, Yurishina sits down and informs Lydia how none of the kingdoms would unite with Periland and how suddenly Heron soldiers were everywhere all over the continent and Lydia went missing too.

Yurishina is saddened because all military actions were banned by the Heron empire and all her alliances are broken. Lydia does not feel empathy for Yurishina anymore as she knows Mar is doing all this to stop the war as well as the Lycans and since learning about everything and no longer feeling like a side character she doesn’t see Yurishina in the same light anymore.

As they are drinking wine, Yurishina asks Lydia about the Astra weapon. Lydia awkwardly indicates it’s gone. Internally Lydia is irked because Jamie and her tried to use Lydai to hurt Mar. (With the chemical weapon)

Dessert is now being served and Yurishina asks Lydia if she is now married to the nobleman, her servant. Lydia chokes on her wine. Yurishina exclaims congratulations as she is very happy for Lydia.

Lydia tries to clean up from the split wine, sputters, well there isn’t a wedding yet but suddenly all the maids quickly rush to Yurishina telling her what a wonderful man he is, and how handsome, and considerate he is. (T/N: LOL)

Yurishina listens to all of this smiling for her friend. Lydia promises Yurishina she will introduce them when he returns to the villa. Yurishina tells Lydia that she needs to leave now and asks for a map from Lydia.

A panic Lydia is thinking of another excuse when the sound of dozens of horses can be heard approaching.

Spoiler: Chapter 136-140 Part III

A gleeful Lydia rushes outside with Yurishina who is surrounded by the 11 maids to stop in front of the approaching army.

Mar dismounts from his giant black horse to smile at Lydia who jumps into his arms in front of everyone.

The lovey-dovey couple embrace and Lydia asks him how he is, ignoring everyone’s shocked reaction. Lydia is determined to show a kind side of Mar in front of his men.

Hugging him tightly, Lydia tells him she misses him. He whispers he does too and she kisses his chest.

Lydia looks up and Mar’s eyes are burning hot and she winks at him to let her go. He doesn’t release her instead loosens his arms as she pushes slightly back so that she can examine his chest. She quickly notes that he did a good job because his knitwear isn’t dirty.

Mar comments someone almost got dirty and Lydia asks who did? Still wrapped in Mar’s arms Lydia turns her head to see Jamie, Eusis, and a few other commanding Periland soldiers tied up staring at Mar and Lydia speechless with their jaws dropped in stunned shock.

L: "That's a relief. You brought them back safe and sound, didn't you?"
M: "Yes." Mar answered my praiseworthy words with a gentle reply, and smiled deeply.
L: Our Marr is so nice. I hugged and let go of Marr's waist. Mar seemed to be disappointed, but we're in front of the crowd, so that's enough.​

Behind them is a sputtering and shocked voice of Yurishina. She is confused as she stares at Lydia. Quickly she lets go of Mar and turns to smile at Yurishina, “Let me introduce you two. This is Mar.”

Yurishina can’t believe the Mar Lydia is talking about is the Emperor of Heron. Lydia tells Yurishina it’s a long story and wonders how to explain it all when Mar arrogantly pulls Lydia into another embrace raising his arm to signal his men. Quickly Yurishina is surrounded by armed soldiers holding both her arms to prevent her escape. He tells Yurishina they will talk later.

Lydia notes for Mar to be nice and he tells her “Okay”. She grins and begins to stroke his hair as he bows his head as usual. Meanwhile, Mar’s men bow gracefully to the lovey-dovey couple and escort a still-sputtering Yurishina who feels betrayed by the rest of the prisoners away.

Yurishina exclaims as she’s being walked away, I thought you said he was nice!

Spoiler: Chapter 136-140 Part VI

Later that evening, Mar joins Lydia who is sitting at the table in their bedroom asking if she misses them (Yurishina, etc.) much. Lydia shakes her head saying she was more curious than anything.

She praises Mar for a job well done. He was able to capture the entire Periland army without shedding a drop of blood. She tells Mar they both should get some rest early tonight.

Mar slowly smiles asking Lydia if there is a prize. Lydia is like, huh?

Mar tells Lydia for a job well done, doesn’t that mean he deserves a reward?

(MTL + Edits)

M: “You’ll give it to me right?”
L: “Oh...is there something you want? As soon as I asked Marr half- thinking, the long chair I sat on leaned back and touched the wall.
M: “I don't want to sleep early.”
L: "Oh."​

The chair that seemed to fall at any moment was dizzying. I held on to the hem of Mar's shirt, which cast a shadow on my right.

After changing his clothes, Mar was wearing a black shirt, and the buttons that had been loosely fastened by the wind that I had been pinching were pulled open.

L: "Uh..." The tight muscles, seen through the loose ends of the opening, caught her eye. As she slowly blinked as if I had been mesmerized, Mar chuckled and bowed his head as if he had waited.

M: “Shall we go?”​

The delicate lips pressed against the nape of my neck fell with a moist sound. The warmth delivered from the contact area spread all over the body in no time. My body trembled shakily and I panicked and made useless excuses. ​

L: "...Well you haven't had dinner yet..." ​

M: “I don’t need to eat..” Mar turned his head and pulled the top of my dress and his lips grazed the collarbone below it.​

Every time his drowsy breath flowed over my skin, my fingertips and toes were tingling. It was as if the flames I had seen outside the Imperial city were preparing to fly inside my body.​

M: “I thought I’d go crazy...I missed you.”​

L: “Well it’s only been one day.” The intensity increased little by little to the point where it was burning. Weakly I raised my arm and hung it around Mar's neck, a short laughter sounded and my clavicle was slightly bitten.

L: "Ah."

M: "Then am I the only one who craves, Master?" Marquez whispered as he licked the marks left on the light skin with a strong possession. The flesh touched by his breath began to burn as on fire.

(T/N: Um..is it hot in here…?)

M: "You mean you didn't think about me because you were playing with the princess."

L: "Huh?"

M: "I've thought about it before, but you seem to like Princess of Periland more than me."

L: "Oh well, it's not like that..."

M: "Then just think of me from now on. Don't think of others." It was always sweet, but somehow it was a growling voice.

L: In a dizzying sensation as if the body was ringing, I reflexively nodded and hugged Mar's neck slightly. Then Mar, who kissed me in the middle of my collarbone, put his arm under my knee. And the moment he started to lift me up gently.

(Heavy knocking on the door!)

I looked up at Marr with a dazed, burning eyes, and then I came to my senses by the knocking sound. I opened my eyes wide and pushed away against the hard chest.

L: Crazy, oh, crazy! What did I do from early evening? Flushed red in both cheeks, I was about to get up in a flustered hurry.

But pushed back, Marr twisted up his mouth and curled up.

CAC: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! "

L: “Mar, they’re looking for you--”

M: “Ignore them.” Marr, with a coquettish smile, kissed me thickly on the back of my hand. As he hesitated, the man outside the door knocked on the door again, raising his voice.

CAC: "Your Majesty, we have it! We found them!"

L: "...I really think you should go out?"

Marr gritted his teeth and let me go. It was a touch of regret that could not be hidden.​

Lydia smiles at Mar and hopes he doesn’t scold the soldier later so she tells Mar that she will give him his prize later. Then she pulls his shirt closed and reaches up and kisses him under his jawline as a promise and teasingly drags him to the door to answer the door.

They are greeted by the CAC. In his hands is a list of the Lycan spies they discovered hidden in the Periland army. As Lydia reads down the names of the list with Mar, she sees Galen as one of the top leader names.

They were able to flush them about by triggering their Lycan traits with human blood.

The CAC is nervous so he turns away to face the wall as if he is in trouble and Lydia taps Mar’s shoulder indicating to Mar to not intimidate his commander. Mar kisses the back of her hand as she whispers to him, “I like a generous man.”

Mar quickly wipes the angry look off his face and tells the commander to face him calmly. Lydia almost laughs to see the command sign in relief.

Mar tells the commander they should start their negotiations now.

Spoiler: Chapter 136-140 Part V

Three prisoners (Jamie, Eusis, and Yurishina) are escorted to a formal platform where there are 3 chairs set aside for each of them. Lydia is sitting next to Mar. Mar asks for them to sit.

Yurishina distrustful tells Mar to just get it over with and kill them now instead of drawing out the torture.

An irritated Lydia informs Yurishina that if Mar wanted to kill them, he would have done it way long ago. Yurishina doesn’t believe Mar who is still sitting there silent and patient giving her space to rant against him. Jamie and Eusis rally behind Yurishina. (T/N: She is very annoying at this part.)

Finally, Yurishina tells Mar to release Lydia as she doesn’t know what lies he’s told her. Which finally gets Mar angry at the mention of Lydia’s name.

Angry Lydia jumps up and yells at them. Tell them she is with Mar of her choice and what Yurishina thinks is not true at all. She finally beckons to all three of them that they need to sit as they all must talk. Noticing Lydia upset, Mar claims Lydia by holding onto her hand and gently pulling her down to sit again.

Yurishina opens her mouth to comment when Mar coldly tells her to sit down unless she wants to bloodshed of war to flow again.

All 3 of them stop talking for a moment and finally, Yushina wants to know what Mar means by that.

Mar coolly tells all 3 of them, “Let us sign a new peace agreement. There will be no war from this forth on.”

All 3 gape at Mar and then each begins to protest in disbelief as if they don’t believe his intentions.

Mar silences them saying the Lycans have appeared.

Yurishina tells Mar that’s ancient superstition but Mar tells her it’s true. All three turn to Lydia and she nods telling them, it’s true.

Yurishina still does not believe it is cut off by Mar who comments why a true friend of Lydia would send her into danger. A shocked Yurishina asks what you mean, she says that Lydia was sent with a trusted knight. Mar snaps that the knight is a Lycan.

A shaken Yurishina collapsed in her chair. Mar goes on to explain Rumel and The Alchemist’s schemes. With each new information, Yurishina’s face turns deathly pale. Mar informs them he has captured their spies and they can head down to the dungeon to see them and how they react to human blood.

Then Mar coldly looks at Eusis and notes “Sadness is the only way to understand their scent.”

Yurishina notes that it's a Periland proverb when Mar suddenly stands and points knife at Eusis’s neck. He accuses Eusis that Lycans hiding with the Terrains are famous for their variety of perfumes. Isn’t that suspicious?

Lydia is wondering if Eusis is a lycan. usis denies this telling, Mar that saying has been part of Periland for a long time and did not come from Terrains. Also, he can prove it as he’s been to battle many times and seen human blood and never reacted to it. Jamie and Yurishina nod and are his witnesses.

Mar then asks if not the Terrians, then who started to spread the word of Astra perfume in Periland?

It hits all three that Terrians who were famous for their perfume suddenly were introduced to deadly perfume using Astra. They realized they were introduced to it by a Lycan hiding as part of their people because none of them knew how to grow the flower or produce the liquid until the original war with Heron. It dawns on them that they were manipulated by them like Mar said.

Jamie clasps Yurishina’s hand telling her he believes Mar.

Yurishina turns to Mar, asking what this peace agreement will do for him. She doesn’t believe he is sincere since he’s been trampling on small kingdoms like Periland in the past. She is hostile to Mar questioning what other hobbies he has besides killing which makes Lydia snap.

Lydia gets defensive of Mar remembering how he was forced to do this, not that he wanted to. She questions what about you, Yurishina? She tells an embarrassed Yurshina, Jamie, and Eusis that they used her too. But Lydia knows Yurishina had her reasons, like Mar, and that Lydia believed her and doesn’t doubt her sincerity nor does Lydia doubt her friendship.

She also tells Yurishina, she stopped her because she wanted to bring her and the Periland army so they wouldn't have to sacrifice her people anymore. She doesn’t want to see a war any more than Yurishina does.

Mar looks at Lydia surprised as she continues. She tells them that she's not asking them to forgive but to listen to what Mar is saying as it is not a lie. She asks all three to return her sincerely by listening as she has done for Yurishina.

 

thank you sooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mar really would've killed CAC if lydia didn't calm him down!!
