Cecilia returned to Charles and continued to play the considerate role. After half a month of her careful care, Charles seemed to have come out of the shadow of the previous incident.
"Cecilia, the current ruler of the neighboring country is Karina, and you mentioned getting rid of the fortune teller around Karina, but she's still safe."
Charles had a few magic cards in front of him and seemed to mention this matter unintentionally.
Cecilia's eyes flashed with disappointment. When she put the item on the fortune teller, you thought she was in a bad state and would fall asleep immediately.
If Karina hadn't discovered me, I might have been killed by now.
She signed in sign language: I'll go back to the sea tonight and see if my sister has any way to help us.
When Charles heard Cecilia talking about her sister again, a trance flashed in his eyes.
If it were in the past, when he was still the favored one, he would have supported Cecilia's return to the sea. But now, he has neither the strength nor the right. If he really lures Cecilia to bring other mermaids ashore, he might also be in trouble.
It would be bad if everything was out of your control.
Charles stood up, brushed his fingers across Cecilia's cheek, and casually pinned the artificial flowers on the table into Cecilia's hair: "Go later, I have prepared a surprise for you today, wait until you see this surprise before going back, okay?"
Cecilia's eyes lit up, surprise?
Charles has become more and more gentle after he recovered. I didn't expect that he would prepare a surprise for me. This is good. After I see the gift Charles prepared for me, I can show it off to my sisters when I return to the sea.
She nodded shyly and said in sign language: Charles is so good to Cecilia.
In fact, after spending these days together, Charles felt that Cecilia was actually very suitable to be his other half, because she was undoubtedly loyal to him. It would be difficult to find another woman like her anywhere.
The two of them snuggled together, sitting on the bed and looking at the sunset in the distance. Cecilia felt that her heart was as hot as the sunset in the distance.
The thought that I could watch such a sunset with Charles every day for the rest of my life filled my heart.
The sunset glow gradually disappeared, the moon hung high in the sky, and the moonlight spread on the ground, leaving a layer of silver curtain. Cecilia and Charles walked on the small path of the ancient castle, just like a couple in love taking an evening stroll.
Cecilia was very happy because of the surprise Charles told her in the afternoon. She jumped and skipped on the shadows of the two people, and Charles followed quietly behind her.
Every step along this road brings us closer to Cecilia's hell.
In order to avoid exposing his flaws, Charles increased the distance between the two people.
But Cecilia, who was walking in front, would always stop and wait for him.
Cecilia watched as Charles, who was left behind by her, skipped over to him and shook his arm. Her excited eyes seemed to say, "Charles, hurry up! I can't wait any longer!"
Finally, the two came to the basement of the castle. A hint of confusion flashed in Cecilia's eyes. Are surprises going to be prepared in such a place?
But before she had time to think about it, the man behind her had already covered her eyes. Charles knew that mermaids had good vision in the dark, so he chose to cover her eyes.
"Cecilia, we'll be there soon."
Cecilia heard the sound of dripping water, but nodded anyway.
They seemed to have walked down the stairs, then up again, slowly ascending, as if standing on a high place again. The man's head suddenly came close to Cecilia's ear, and she heard that familiar, gentle, and affectionate voice again: "Cecilia, I know you love me very much."
He paused, looking at the surprise he had prepared for Cecilia, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry, I love you too."
After he finished speaking, he let go of his hand. Cecilia opened her eyes, but it was still dark in front of her. She lowered her head and saw the huge vertical water tank and the things connected to the water tank.
What's this?
She turned around and looked at Charles curiously, but Charles pushed her hard from behind.
She opened her eyes wide in an instant and looked at Charles in disbelief, but the next second she fell completely into the water tank. Suddenly, she felt sleepy. Cecilia felt so tired, just like the time when the witch took away her voice and she was as tired on the way back to Charles.
Before her consciousness faded, she heard the voice that once fascinated her.
"She is mermaid royalty. Every part of her body can be studied."
The man's voice was very cold.
Cecilia wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids kept fighting each other. She had no way and couldn't do it.
But the next second, she was forced to open her eyes.
A machine was inserted into the water tank, clamped Cecilia's tail, and regardless of her struggles, it tore off her scales alive, one... two... so many pieces in a row that Cecilia couldn't even count them.
She only knew that she was in great pain. Why did Charles do this to herself?
Doesn't he love himself?
He was just talking about loving himself.
The grievance in her heart and the pain in her tail soon made her burst into tears, and pearls one after another covered the bottom of the water tank.
"Your Highness, Charles, I think you may need the flesh and blood of a mermaid."
Charles looked at the weak Cecilia indifferently: "Cut off her fish tail. The smell of blood here is too strong. I feel uncomfortable after smelling it. I'm leaving first."
Cecilia stretched out her hand. Why...why did she leave?
Why did you bring yourself here?
The people outside the water tank looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw Charles leave like that: "His Royal Highness Charles is truly heartless! This mermaid has been with him for so long! He just wants to give her up like that?"
"And... such a beautiful golden fishtail is cut off just like that?"
The slightly older man nodded and said, "Let's chop it off. Charles is now a useless man anyway. Why don't we use the things he gave us to research something and then go and please the Second Prince?"
Several assistants nodded: "Teacher is really thoughtful."
The red blood soon dyed the entire water tank. Cecilia used all her strength to crush a conch.
Big sister, please come and save Cecilia...Cecilia is in so much pain...
At this time, Yun Chu and Su Yu were snuggling together and drawing a map of this world, when they suddenly felt the call.
"What's wrong?"
Su Yu saw her suddenly stop and looked at her worriedly.
Yunchu just shook his head. "Nothing. Let's leave her alone for two days. She won't die."
After all, the original owner suffered much more than Cecilia before her death.
If she didn't want to see Cecilia and Charles kill each other, she wouldn't bother to save her.
