Ital nodded: "They seduced you with their songs, so you fell into the water."
"Impossible! How could a mere sea monster bewitch me?"
Ital continued to explain, "You are very strong, and normally you wouldn't be bewitched by them, but you ate their food, so they can easily teach you to speak."
When Wan Ge suddenly remembered that when they were about to leave the island, a very cute little girl gave them some fruit. At the time, Wan Ge did not sense any strange aura from the little girl and had no suspicion of such a cute little girl, so she ate it.
"Sirens are adept at concealing their presence and also at bewitching people. You human girls are not very wary of women, the elderly, and children, so you fall for their tricks when you're not on guard."
"Damn sirens, I wonder how many compassionate girls they've bewitched using this method."
Ital wanted to tell her it was alright, since he had already eliminated all the sea monsters, but remembering the bloody scene, Ital didn't say anything, not wanting Wan Ge to know.
"I won't do that," Ital told Wan Ge earnestly.
Wan Ge hugged him: "I know, I believe you, but I have something else to tell you."
Wan Ge earnestly explained to the other person how humans treat their lovers and wives.
Ital had only a vague understanding of this and didn't quite grasp it, but he could give it a try.
"So, can I marry you?"
"Ital, I must tell you, I am the Queen of Humanity, do you know that?"
Ital nodded; he had seen it and knew.
Wan Ge pinched his ear; it was soft and didn't have the sticky, slippery feel she'd imagined. Thank goodness. "So if you want to marry me, you have to come back with me, understand?"
"Do we want to leave the sea?" Ital thought for a moment, but before Wan Ge could answer, he nodded: "Okay."
…
News of Ital's decision to leave the sea spread the very next day.
Wan Ge hadn't let the other party succeed, but when they were lying on the same bed, she couldn't resist touching his tail. She had to admit that his tail was really beautiful and felt great to the touch.
The next morning, just as they were about to leave, the first person to approach them was the octopus that Wan Ge had met the day before. The octopus's upper body had transformed into a handsome man, while its lower body still had eight legs: "My lord, are you really leaving? But how can you leave?"
Ital remained silent, but his voice reached the ears of every sea creature: "Even if I leave the sea, there will be no problem. You can stay here in peace. I will return with the Queen within two hundred years."
Two hundred years is not a long time for the sea creatures, and the king's decision is not something that anyone can change, so the other sea creatures also agreed.
The main problem is that there's nothing that can be done even if you disagree.
Ital knew about human lifespans, but he didn't intend to interfere with Wan Ge's ordinary life. He would simply take her away from the human world and back to the sea after she turned two hundred. At that time, she would belong only to the sea, not to humanity.
Wan Ge couldn't hear what Ital was saying to the other sea creatures, and she realized it wasn't a mutual exchange of feelings. It was that he could hear what she said, while she could only hear his thoughts when he wanted to speak. No wonder he hadn't done it this way at first.
