“…”

“…”

Krober and Veronica looked at each other, speechless on their faces, and neither of them spoke first.

The atmosphere at this moment was unusually silent, and they didn't know what to say.

As for Gwendolyn, the instigator, she seemed to have not yet recovered from the embarrassment. She lowered her head and said nothing.

Krober looked at her and sighed helplessly.

He knew that this incident was a complete misunderstanding, and the main reason was that the two sides lacked trust and had a shallow understanding of each other's races.

In order to improve this embarrassing situation, he felt it necessary to break the silence.

So he said:

"My personal advice is to try to find a normal person to ask next time. Kovik's bad advice will only affect the relationship between us."

"In human custom, marriage is sacred and inviolable. The idea you raised is purely provocative to our bottom line, and even the bottom line of all humanity."

Kroeber knew that this incident had to be properly resolved, otherwise it might have adverse effects in the future.

He hopes Gwendolyn can realize the seriousness of the problem and take positive measures to improve it.

Before this, Kroeber had thought it would be a fierce battle and had even prepared for the ocean current to rush into the palace.

But I didn’t expect that the ending would be like this. It’s really laughable.

He secretly thanked his lucky stars that Gwendolen had no bad intentions at the time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

If a fight breaks out, his palace will probably be destroyed.

At the same time, he also realized that Gwendolyn knew too little about the human race, which was why she did such a stupid thing.

Kroeber couldn't help but wonder, when Gwendolyn fully understood humans, would she feel ashamed of her behavior today?

After all, such a misunderstanding is really embarrassing.

"I still insist on my opinion. If the identity of partner is not enough, then you must give me a sufficiently honorable and unshakable position, so that I can better protect the mermaid clan."

Gwendolen was resolute and still hoped to secure a proper position for herself.

"Okay! Okay! Okay! I'll think about it and see what position would be most suitable for you."

Krober sighed helplessly, then began to rack his brains, trying to come up with a plan that would satisfy Gwendolyn's requirements without causing too much impact on him.

He looked at Veronica for help, hoping that she could come up with a good idea with him.

However, Veronica ignored him and pulled Gwendolyn aside, talking to her in a low voice.

This sudden move surprised Kroeber.

“???”

Weren't you guys fighting to the death just now?

How did we become friends all of a sudden?

Veronica didn't know what she said to Gwendoline, but she also recovered from her previous embarrassment and became the elegant and intellectual person she was at the beginning.

"I can only grant you the title of King, but I can give you the management rights of the northern part of the Azure Sea where the mermaids live. I will not appoint any more officials there."

"In other words, you are the official I have appointed. As long as you swear allegiance to me before the world consciousness, your letter of appointment will appear before you the next day."

Krober has a high level of patience towards his first upcoming high-ranking dragon knight subordinate.

As long as it does not threaten his rule, everything else can be given.

Aren’t you just a mermaid clan? I will hand over your previous territory to you to manage.

It originally belonged to you, and you still have to thank me after I give it to you.

"Thank you for your kindness and generosity. I, Gwendolyn Wavefury, am willing to serve you!"

Gwendolyn got what she wanted, so she naturally swore allegiance to Kroeber.

She had forgotten that before coming here, she was planning to overthrow Krober's rule.

In just one week, she had gone from overthrowing the rule to striving for more benefits after joining.

“See?”

"I told her she should thank me!"

Although he was secretly happy, Krober did not show it on his face.

He lifted Gwendolen from the ground and brushed the dust off her body and shoulders.

This is one of the necessary rituals for a human ruler to perform after enfeoffing his subjects.

In the past, ancient humans had the habit of conferring knights and nobles after the war, so when the king conferred a title on one vassal, he would reach out and brush the dust off the vassal to increase the affection between the two sides.

But now this action is more of a demonstration of the king's tolerance and kindness.

He then explained other important matters in detail.

These include the upcoming enthronement ceremony and the letters of credence that need to be sent to various countries.

The investiture ceremony itself was not complicated. It was just a ceremony to formally invest Gwendolen as a queen.

However, all three of them had a consistent view on the ceremony - to keep it as simple as possible.

Veronica and Krober felt that there was no need to spend too much unnecessary money on this.

Gwendolyn only wanted to return home as soon as possible and tell her family that she had gone to Kroeber.

As for the letter, the content was also very simple, which was to convey the news that Kroeber had conquered the mermaid clan to various countries.

From now on, the mermaids are legal citizens of the Amethyst Ocean Kingdom and will be protected by Kroeber.

From this day on, the entire blue sea will become Krober's territory.

Whether it is the continent on sea level, or the foreshore and deep sea.

All of this will belong to Kroeber.

And he is also the true leader of the entire Blue Sea.

But he is not the only king, because the prince is also a king.

It's just that the grade is lower than that of the king.

Now that the Blue Sea has been unified, this news must be conveyed immediately.

In this world, the easiest way to spread news quickly is to hold a grand banquet.

He invited Gwendolyn first. She had already sworn an oath to the world consciousness, so she had become one of his own. Kroeber let go of what had happened before.

Anyway, when Gwendolen came to her senses, she was the one who was killed.

After getting Gwendolyn's consent, he left the room and went to the hall to find Orchi to prepare a feast for him.

Most of the nobles and officials of Yangliu Island will be invited.

Krober wanted to spread the news of the complete unification of the Blue Sea through their mouths.
