"I... am... it's like this..."
Cecilia put her finger to the corner of her lips, her eyes evasive.
Although her sisters had also fantasized about having a dream encounter with humans on land, she was the first one to admit it actively.
A long time ago, mermaids were rare in number and had very poor magical talent. Humans relied on magic to capture mermaids, and Lord Poseidon couldn't stand it anymore, so he improved the magic of the mermaid royal family. That's why, although she had just reached adulthood, her strength crushed most humans.
But the hatred between the mermaids and humans still exists, even though it has been a long time...
But his father and elder sister still seem to mind humans.
"Cecilia, shouldn't you explain this matter properly? You broke the promise made to the Sea God."
Cecilia lowered her head, her hands folded. Her nerves were tense, but she couldn't help but blame her older sister. Whenever she was hurt, she was always the first to teach those who bullied her a lesson...
But now, not only did she keep silent about helping her vent her anger, but she kept questioning her.
"Sister...I know humans did some bad things to us mermaids a long time ago, but I have to say, that was a long time ago."
"Humans today can't defeat us. With your strength, you alone can destroy an entire country. Besides, humans only heard about catching mermaids from the previous generation..."
"It's been passed down from generation to generation, so it's definitely half true and half false... Maybe, in the past, we had no conflict with humans at all..."
She spoke cautiously, observing Yunchu's expression as she spoke.
After she said this, she waited for Yunchu to speak, waiting for Yunchu to agree with her idea, but a majestic and angry voice came from behind her.
"Cecilia!"
Cecilia suddenly felt the blood rushing back through her body and she froze in place.
This is... This is the voice of her father...
Didn't her father hear every word she said just now?
[Host, you're so smart! Call the Mermaid King ahead of time, and the decision about how to handle this matter won't fall on you!]
Yunchu looked at the majestic mermaid king behind Cecilia, put one hand on his chest and the other on his waist, and saluted him respectfully.
The Mermaid King narrowed his eyes. His most beloved little daughter actually said such words!
"Father...Father..."
Cecilia hid behind the second princess, trembling all over, and was already thinking about how to make her father deal with it.
"Cecilia! What were you talking about?"
Cecilia opened her mouth, wanting to explain to her father, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say.
It seemed as if no matter what he said at this moment, it would be useless.
The Mermaid King looked at his little daughter in silence for a long time. Finally, he said, "Cecilia... I don't want to hear such words from you again."
"From today on, Cecilia can only stay in her room! You are not allowed to go anywhere without my permission!"
Except for Yunchu, the other princesses began to plead, saying that their younger sister was just too naive and was deceived by hypocritical humans. Locking Cecilia up was too harsh a punishment!
Cecilia felt a pang of sadness as she watched her sisters pleading for her. She looked at her father, who had always loved her, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Cecilia is not wrong! I just want to pursue true love! I am not wrong!"
After she yelled, she left here angrily.
The Mermaid King watched Cecilia running further and further away, then looked at his daughters who were worried about Cecilia. Finally, he looked at Yunchu and said, "Vivien, come visit your father when you have time."
Yunchu nodded, and the Mermaid King looked very lonely as he walked away.
For some reason, Yunchu felt a sour and swollen feeling in his heart when he saw this scene, as if something was blocking it.
After the Mermaid King left, the Third Princess looked at Yunchu with dissatisfaction: "Big sister! Why didn't you plead for Cecilia just now? If you had asked, father would definitely not be willing to punish Cecilia!"
She was extremely dissatisfied and rolled her eyes twice.
Yunchu: "..."
Good job.
This family.
She has seen both love-brained and dog-licking brains.
This is the first time I’ve seen a sister-controlled guy.
Is this the influence of the protagonist?
That's not right... When she accepted the story background of this world, although the story revolved around mermaids, princesses from neighboring countries and human princes.
But 007 didn't seem to say who the protagonist was.
[007, who are the male and female protagonists in this world? ]
007 was eating the lobster that Yunchu had caught on the way back in the system space. When Yunchu asked this, he almost couldn't breathe.
007 patted his chest after surviving the disaster.
Fortunately, fortunately, I almost became the first one to be choked to death.
[Host, didn't 007 tell you before? This world is a dark fairy tale, a world of collapse, with no fixed protagonist!]
There is no protagonist...
That is, everyone is the protagonist of his own life.
She glanced at the third princess and said, "We haven't found the reason why Cecilia lost all her magic. She's been locked up by her father, so she won't run around and get hurt."
As she spoke, she placed a bottle of potion in her palm and said, "Send it to Cecilia. It can heal her injuries. As for her magic... I'll investigate everything first."
The third princess took it happily.
That’s what she said!
The eldest sister also loved Cecilia very much and agreed with her father to lock Cecilia up to prevent her from getting hurt.
She is indeed the most mature and steady elder sister, and she thinks much more carefully than her.
The dissatisfaction in her eyes was immediately replaced by admiration, and her eyes sparkled with stars. "I'll send it to Cecilia right away!"
The third princess is not very smart and is often led by others. Whatever she thinks and does is written on her face.
After Yunchu sent the man away with a few words, he prepared to go find the Mermaid King.
Arriving at the Mermaid King's residence, Yunchu waited respectfully outside the door: "Father, is there something you want to talk to Vivien about?"
"Come in, child."
Yunchu was allowed to go in, but was stopped by the other party just as he was about to salute.
"Since you are not from my tribe, you can skip these tedious matters."
Yun Chu's feet shook and a look of shock flashed across his face.
The Mermaid King simply pulled her to sit opposite him.
There was a pentagram drawn on the table in front of him, as if it were used for divination.
"When Cecilia was born, the tribe's fortune teller predicted that she would fall in love with a human man, which would lead to the destruction of the entire tribe."
