Lugari watched as the doctor took out a tube of blue reagent and injected it into her fish tail with a syringe.
He felt a little guilty.
He had just said he would take good care of her, but in the blink of an eye, this happened.
The admiral, who was known for his bravery in killing enemies on the battlefield, was rarely at a loss.
His eyes fell on her red cheeks, apologetically.
After the doctor finished the injection, he suddenly noticed Junli's fish tail.
He knew mermaids very well, so when he saw that some parts of her tail were missing scales, he looked at those places carefully. These places were obviously not scales that fell off naturally, but were caused by humans.
Pulling off a mermaid's scales is an extremely painful process for the mermaid.
The doctor put away the syringe and asked Lugari, "Admiral, although I shouldn't say this, do you have any complaints about this mermaid?"
Lugari: “No.”
His expression still held confusion, and the doctor was almost certain that it wasn't Lugari who did it.
He told Lugari, "It seems your mermaid's scales have been plucked out more than once, so the scales in these places have never grown back. I have some medicine here. Rub it on the mermaid's tail every morning and evening, and she will soon grow new scales."
Lugari fell into deep thought.
The doctor gave one last warning: "She just gave me some medicine. The mermaid can't go into the water for now. She'll definitely feel dry at night. Someone needs to moisturize her tail with water every once in a while. She should be fine by tomorrow."
Lugari came to his senses and asked the servant to send the doctor out.
Some servants stepped forward and offered to take care of Junli, but they were rejected by Lugari.
Lugari decided to take care of her himself.
After everyone left, Lugari sat next to her and looked closely at Kimiri's tail.
This was the first time he saw a mermaid's tail, and at such a close distance. The color of the scales on her tail was like the sunset in the sky, dazzling and eye-catching. The lines of the tail were also beautiful and smooth. One could imagine how lively this tail would be in the water, but unfortunately it was like a wilted flower now.
She seemed to have lost a lot of scales, but the flesh inside the scales was also light orange, and it was almost impossible to see anything.
She had been in the research institute before becoming Anid's mermaid, and she had no contact with outsiders. Who plucked her scales? Why didn't she say anything?
Lugari didn't sleep anymore. He first looked at her room. There was a flower on the table in the room. She kept the flower in a small vase. He picked this flower for her today. It seemed that she cherished and liked it very much.
There was also a faint fragrance in the room. He had smelled it on her, but never on anyone else. It must be the unique scent of mermaids.
Lugari kept observing her, and when her tail became dry, he took a soft cloth, soaked it in water, and wiped her tail bit by bit. The scales were smooth and comfortable. After wiping it several times, his fingers seemed to be able to feel the outline and lines of her tail.
It was morning, and even though he wanted to stay and take care of her, he had to go to the Interstellar Military Camp.
There is an important meeting today that concerns the safety of the empire, so he cannot miss it.
Seeing that she was still asleep, he called the maid over and told her to wipe her tail regularly. After helping Junli apply the medicine she needed to apply in the morning, Lugari changed into his military uniform and left the villa.
