Chapter 815: The Rice is a Fait accompli

"Lord Gervis! Little sister!"

When Gervis walked down the stairs, the atmosphere in the city gate was still quite strange.

The Sea King had a sullen face and kept looking at the city, with no intention of greeting Gervis.

On the contrary, after seeing Gervis, Vaodin greeted him and Lolita with a little embarrassment.

"Hello, Lord Vaodin!"

It seemed that Vaodin was forced into doing this, and Gervis didn't take it to heart, so he just greeted him.

However, he was not planning to greet Aquaman. After all, the two of them were at loggerheads just now. Whoever spoke at this moment would have the implication of bowing down.

Of course, Gervis didn't want to speak, but Alice behind him didn't allow him to do so and immediately twisted his waist gently! "Hiss!"

Gervis immediately gasped and looked towards Alice.

But Alice winked at him.

Gervis was helpless. Today, his cheap wife really risked everything for him.

Not only did she go out of the city alone to negotiate, she also found a concubine for her husband.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke to Aquaman helplessly.

"Your Excellency the Sea King, welcome to Saint Ann City!"

"snort!"

However, although Gervis spoke first, Neptune still ignored him and just snorted in response.

Seeing Aquaman like this, Gervis was furious. If it weren't for Alice's good intentions, he might have lost his temper too.

In fact, Gervis didn't know that Aquaman was even angrier than him at this moment.

Because, before this, Aquaman still refused to let his daughter marry a married man.

But in the end, Alice used her trump card, which forced him to agree.

Because Alice said that in the past few days, Gervis and Lolita have already made it a done deal, and it is likely that in the near future, Aquaman will have a grandson.

Alice asked him if he wanted his grandson to be born without a father! Faced with such a question, even though Aquaman was furious, he really didn't dare to let such a thing happen, and finally gave in.

After all, if Lolita really had Gervis' child, she would never be able to find a young man who was truly loyal to her even among the sea people.

"The daughter has met her father!"

After Gervis greeted her, Lolita also spoke!

He walked up to Aquaman pitifully and shouted at him.

"Um!"

Facing Lolita's call, Aquaman couldn't be as tough as he was with Gervis. He retracted his gaze to her and said "hmm" lightly.

This reaction is so different from Gervis's! "Okay, Sister Lolita, take your father and brother to the temple now! Your father must have been exhausted from traveling all the way here. I'll have someone prepare delicious food for him now!"

Alice became a good lubricant at the scene at this time, and started to arrange things directly without going through Gervis.

This saved Gervis from more friction with his new father-in-law.

"Thank you, Sister Alice!"

Lolita was also very smart. She immediately thanked Alice and then came to Aquaman.

"Father, let me take you to wash up first!"

As he said this, he took the initiative to put his arm around Aquaman.

Aquaman's original expression still contained some anger, but after hearing Lolita's words and her gesture of holding his arm, a trace of helplessness finally appeared on his face.

Then, led by Lolita, they headed towards the city.

"Let's go, Gervis! The Sea King will still be your elder in the future, you shouldn't treat him like this anymore!"

After Aquaman and his companions left, Alice walked up to Gervis, stretched out her slender arm, gently held Gervis, and walked with him while persuading him.

"But that's not what I want! Alice, how could you bear to let me marry Lolita? Isn't this unfair to you?"

Feeling the tenderness of his cheap wife, Gervis was deeply moved.

However, he really couldn't figure out the reason for what happened today. After all, Alice was too abnormal today.

When Alice heard Gervis' question, she had the urge to continue twisting what Gervis had written down.

But looking at his loving expression and remembering the hardships he had endured in the City of Hope, Alice finally softened her heart.

"Gervis, when was your first conflict with Lolita?"

Alice asked Gervis.

"The first conflict? It happened in the underground cave of the magician's tower!"

Gervis answered directly without having to recall. That was the day he obtained the Crimson Moon, so he would naturally not forget it.

"So what did you do to Lolita in the underground cave?"

Alice asked again.

"This... I didn't do anything. She was in the cave at the time and tried to take my Crimson Moon, so I took it away! What's wrong? Is that incident related to what happened today?"

Gervis himself certainly didn't dare to say much about the specific process.

Moreover, he didn't think that what happened that day had anything to do with today.

"Haha, what Lolita said is different from what you said!"

Alice has an expression that shows she knows you're not being honest.

When Gervis saw this expression, he immediately realized that he had fallen into the trap set by his cheap wife. It was obvious that Lolita had already told Alice in detail what happened that day.

Fortunately, Gervis's skin has become very thick after long-term experience and aristocratic cultivation.

He explained to Alice without blushing or beating his heart.

"Alice, I had no choice at that time. Lolita kept trying to snatch it from me, and she released the Binding Scroll herself. It just so happened that both of us were hit by the Binding Scroll at the same time, so some accidents happened."

In response to Gervis' explanation, Alice just rolled her eyes at him without making any comment. Then she changed the subject and began to tell Gervis the real reason.

"In fact, the reason why Lolita wanted to marry you and the reason why Aquaman went to war to seek revenge was all because of a prophecy!"

"prophecy?"

Gervis looked at Alice with a question mark on his face!

"Yes, it is the prophecy of the sea tribe priest!"

Alice nodded, paused, and continued.

"When Lolita was about to leave for the Holy Continent, the High Priest of the Sea Tribe gave her a prophecy!"

"According to the prophecy, if Lolita's face is seen by a human man, Lolita will have two choices when facing the first man who sees her appearance."

"The first choice is to marry this man!"

"And the second option is to kill this man!"

"If neither of these two options is achieved, the sea race will be in danger of extinction!"

"So, now you understand!"

Alice slowly told him what Gervis had never known.

"This..., there is actually such a prophecy!"

After listening to Alice's story, Gervis was shocked at first, but then his thoughts suddenly became clear.

He finally understood why Lolita always carried a tulle veil with her.

That's not because she felt she was too beautiful and wanted to cover herself up, but because she couldn't let human men see her.

In addition, the reason why this girl later hunted me down all over the continent was probably not just because of Scarlet Moon and my disrespect for her, but the most important thing was probably this prophecy.

Similarly, it can also explain why Neptune led more than 5,000 elite troops on a long-distance raid on Saint Ann City.

Since the Sea King is unwilling to marry Lolita to him, he naturally needs to kill himself, so as to eliminate the prophecy of the high priest of the sea tribe.

However, Gervis really didn't expect that just because he had that extra bite in the beginning, he would bite off Lolita's veil and lead to the current situation.

It also gave him a cheap wife.

However, thinking that he had a cheap wife, Gervis couldn't help but think of Caroline and Adela.

Especially Caroline, she is his second confidante after Alice.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

If Caroline knew later that Lolita had taken the lead, Gervis was sure what a blow she would suffer.

Thinking of this, Gervis tried to speak.

"Actually, Alice, I don't think this prophecy can come true! The sea tribe is so powerful, how could they be in danger of being exterminated because of such a small matter!"

"Besides, go explain to Aquaman. I know the reason for what happened today. Why don't we just write off what happened today!"

"Hmm? Are you unwilling to marry Lolita?"

Alice looked at Gervis in surprise! "Well! It's not that I don't want to, but it's really unfair to you!"

Of course, Gervis was very happy to have another charming beauty, and he also saw Lolita's performance on the city wall.

But Caroline was also there, so Gervis had to reluctantly give up...

Of course, he couldn't say that to Alice, so Gervis could only tell a white lie.

When Alice heard Gervis's white lie, she didn't know whether she believed it or not. She tightened her arm around Gervis and moved closer to him.

"Gervis, there is nothing we can do about this even if you don't want to!"

"For Aquaman and Lolita, there are only two choices, that is, you marry Lolita, or they kill you!"

"For the sea tribe or the beast tribe, the priest is a more special and noble existence than the tribe leader or the royal family, because he is the spokesperson for the god they believe in!"

"And the prophecies described by the god's spokesperson can completely affect their entire tribe and ethnic group."

"Even if Lolita and the Sea King don't take this prophecy seriously, as long as this matter spreads among the sea people, it will definitely arouse the anger of the sea people!"

"The sea tribe will also force them to make a choice!"

Alice explained to Gervis in detail the status of the priest and the influence that prophecy could bring.

"I see!"

After listening to Alice's explanation, Gervis opened his mouth and wanted to talk about Caroline, but was afraid that Alice would lose her temper on the spot.

He could only suppress it in his heart and think of a solution. After all, even if he and Lolita wanted to get married, it wouldn't be that fast! Alice looked at Gervis, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, but there was an incomprehensible meaning in her eyes that Gervis couldn't detect.

After that, the two did not talk about the matter anymore, but walked all the way towards the temple.

Gervis happened to meet a returning star on the way, and immediately asked him to go back along the same route to inform Caroline at the gathering place and ask them to suspend the evacuation order.

…

Back in the temple, Neptune, led by Lolita, went directly to the guest room in the back garden, while Alice arranged for Thomas and Anna, the little maids, to prepare a sumptuous lunch.

In fact, this lunch should be called breakfast, after all, Alice came just after Gervis got up.

Then came this series of events. He hadn't even had breakfast yet, and there was still some time before noon.

…

As Alice gave orders one after another, the entire gathering place was mobilized. In addition to preparing lunch for the Sea King, they also had to entertain the sea creatures outside the city.

Now that both parties have sat down to discuss the marriage of Gervis and Lolita, the 5,000-strong army cannot be neglected.

More than half an hour later, Alice and Gervis, who had already arranged everything, continued to sit in the temple and wait.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, Caroline walked in from outside the temple.

Seeing Gervis and Alice sitting in the main seats in front, he immediately stepped forward and bowed to them.

"Cousin Caroline, you're here, please sit down for a while!"

"Caroline, have things at the gathering place been settled?"

After Alice greeted Caroline, Gervis glanced at Alice guiltily, and found that there was nothing unusual on her expression, so he asked Caroline a question.

"Your Majesty, everything has been appeased!"

The gathering place had previously urgently called on everyone to move supplies and prepare for evacuation, which indeed caused a big commotion in the gathering place.

Fortunately, it wasn’t long before news came out that the crisis was temporarily resolved, so no losses were caused.

Otherwise, some grape vines will need to be dug up and brought into the forest, which will inevitably cause damage to some grape vines that are growing fruit.

"Yeah! I'm glad you're okay! Thank you for your hard work!"

There was a little sweat on Caroline's forehead, obviously she had been busy before coming to the temple.

"It's okay. This is what I should do! Your Majesty!"

When Caroline heard Gervis's thanks, she felt warm in her heart, although she couldn't show it on the surface.

After a pause, he asked curiously.

"Gevis, I heard from the guard at the door that the people who just attacked were from the sea. Why is that? Isn't Miss Lolita from the sea? You saved her before!"

"This... is a long story..."

Gervis didn't know how to comfort Caroline at this time, so he wanted to play it safe and explain it to Caroline in private later.

"It's not a long story, actually. Lolita wants to marry Gervis, but the Sea King disagrees, so he brings his elite army to capture Saint Ann City and kill Gervis!"

Gervis didn't know what to say, but Alice spoke up next, slowly explaining it to Caroline.

"Ah! How could this be? Alice, how did the matter get resolved?"

Gervis had previously asked her to arrange for the evacuation of everyone in the gathering place, so Caroline knew that the situation must be very serious.

Now that she suddenly doesn't have to evacuate, she has a lot of speculations in her mind.

"The matter was actually quite simple to resolve. I personally went out of the city to negotiate with the Sea King, and then convinced him to agree to let Lolita marry Gervis!"

"This way, we won't have to fight with swords anymore!"

Alice immediately satisfied Caroline's curiosity.

"this……"

Hearing this, Caroline's body trembled instantly and her face turned pale.
