Chapter 248 The Mermaid Princess 2 (Bonus Chapter for Donations)
Because she was still just the Crown Prince's servant, even after sleeping with this mermaid princess, the Crown Prince didn't even give her a title.
So she quickly went to the Crown Prince to seek recognition.
"Your Highness, you were the one who held me back last night and wouldn't let me leave. Why, why are you treating me like this today?"
The Crown Prince rolled his eyes inwardly. This woman, if she only has a pretty face but no brains, she's a disaster. A smart person would understand what he meant if he ignored her.
He even had to make up lies to fool her!
"Fool, I'm protecting you. I have a fiancée. When I proposed to her, I promised King Novda that I would only love her for the rest of my life."
If I secretly grant you a title, that family will storm into my palace tomorrow and take your life.
Furthermore, my father and mother will not allow me to break off the engagement, unless…”
Ayman asked urgently, "Unless what?"
"Unless you can offer a greater benefit, otherwise... otherwise we can only be together secretly, and I'll even have to send you away when I get married. If Domira finds out about you, she'll definitely tear you to pieces!"
Ayman trembled with fear, but she was unwilling to give up!
Why can Domira marry His Highness, but she can't?
Suddenly her eyes lit up, and she pulled a chain from her chest, on which was a pink pearl the size of a thumbnail.
The pearl has a smooth, round luster and a faint golden sheen.
At that time, there was no cultured pearls. Pearls were very precious jewels, especially pink ones that were this big, which were even rarer.
The Crown Prince looked at the pearl and couldn't help but exclaim, "This pearl is very beautiful."
"If the Crown Prince agrees to marry me, I can provide him with countless pearls like these!"
Crown Prince: "Are you serious?"
Ayman nodded.
The Crown Prince did not agree immediately. "Tell me," he said. "If it is really as you say, then without me saying it, Father and Mother will make me marry you."
Aiman simply confessed her identity and then sold her sister's secret to the Crown Prince once again.
“My sister has a special ability; her tears can turn into the most perfect pearls in the world. Your Highness, you can get beautiful pearls as long as you make her cry.”
The Crown Prince was overjoyed. "Is this a skill that all mermaids possess? What color are your tears?"
Aiman said regretfully, "No, only my sister has this ability. We mermaids don't have any other special abilities besides singing."
My sister is the complete opposite. She can't sing mermaid songs, but she can shed tears that turn into pearls. This is why the tribe doesn't like her; everyone thinks she's mutated and is no longer a pure-blooded mermaid.
Although the Crown Prince believed that Aiman wouldn't lie to him, he still tried it. Aiman thought of the saddest things in the world before she shed two tears, but unfortunately, the tears disappeared quickly after landing on her clothes.
"Let's go to the aquarium, we'll go see your sister."
The most beautiful pearl in the world has arrived!
Ning Yan has been living a very comfortable life at the aquarium lately, so comfortable that she has almost forgotten about it. The tourists outside seem to be there to see her as a spectacle, but little do they know that in her eyes, everything here is just a landscape painting, and she is the one enjoying the scenery.
When the Crown Prince arrived, he had Ning Yan brought before him. Because they were afraid the mermaids would escape, the places where the mermaids stayed were strictly guarded, and they were never allowed to put their feet on the ground.
Ning Yan ignored the Crown Prince, glancing at him once before turning her gaze away and swimming far away.
The Crown Prince was a little angry. He still wanted the eldest princess to shed pearls for him, but how could he cry like that?
"Guards, seize the eldest princess!"
Are mermaids really that easy to catch?
The dozen or so guards went to great lengths, but not only did they fail to capture anyone, several of them were also killed by Ning Yan.
At this point, someone suggested, "If we can't subdue her by force, we should try another method. Everyone has their own weaknesses. If we find this mermaid princess's weakness, things will be much easier."
The Crown Prince then sought out Aiman again.
Without even thinking, Aiman replied, "My sister values family the most."
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to become one of the performers offered up as a tribute to the Crown Prince after she cried and her subjects begged her.
Crown Prince: ...Aren't the eldest princess's relatives the second princess's relatives too?
The eldest princess is truly lucky to have a younger sister like Aiman!
Fortunately, it wasn't a relative.
He immediately ordered his men to capture the two mermaids they had brought back and, in front of Ning Yan, hacked them to death one by one.
Ning Yan's expression didn't even change.
They were among those who forced the original owner, so they deserved to die.
Furthermore, she wasn't the original owner of this body, and had no connection whatsoever with these mermaids; whether they lived or died was none of her business.
Seeing that the eldest princess had no reaction to the killing of two mermaids, let alone cry, the crown prince said angrily, "Why don't your words have any effect?"
Aiman was also a little anxious. Her good sister usually seemed cold and aloof, but she was actually the kindest-hearted person. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had such a wicked idea to make her sister suffer in the Empire.
But now she doesn't even care about the lives of her clansmen?
"Perhaps, perhaps these people are too distant from her, and she has little affection for outsiders."
The Crown Prince gave the order, "Go, bring here two of the eldest princess's closest relatives." He then turned to Aiman, "You should know who her close relatives are, right?"
Ayman: "...I know, I know."
Two of the captured mermaids were related to their family, and they had a good relationship with their sister. They were quickly captured and killed in front of Ning Yan.
Ning Yan indeed shed a tear. The tear rolled silently down her eye and turned into an extremely beautiful pink pearl as it fell, with a faint gold tinge on it!
It was the same color as her fishtail, a beautiful pink with a touch of noble gold!
The Crown Prince was overjoyed and ordered his men to retrieve the pearl. This pearl was even larger and rounder than the one Aiman wore around her neck. "Continue, continue crying for me!"
However, Ning Yan had already regained her expressionless demeanor.
The Crown Prince grew anxious. "Is there more? Hurry up and bring all those damned mermaids over here."
Ayman: "Only these two are close relatives, there are no others."
The Crown Prince paced back and forth, his anxiety evident. He wanted to order Ning Yan to be whipped, but what if he damaged her and she couldn't produce the beautiful pearls?
We can't fight, we can't fight.
What other options are there?
Aiman advised, "Your Highness, why don't you go to the Sea Clan again to demand my return? As long as you tell my father and mother that I'm in your hands, they will definitely be willing to cooperate."
So an army was sent to the coast, and the sea creatures were thrown into chaos once again.
