Until he could no longer see her, Lorsis sat up straight and lowered his head to stroke the bracelet on his wrist.
The scales have a harder texture and fit snugly on the wrist.
Wanjiezhu glanced at the bracelet and clicked his tongue twice.
Lorsis glanced at it sideways.
The Pearl of All Worlds lies down when it is full.
For the mermaids, giving one's own scales to the opposite sex is equivalent to saying "I like you" openly. The task subject gave scales to the dog host twice.
It took almost a day to reach the palace, just when the engagement party of the eldest prince Bowie was about to begin.
Facing the Duke of Lorsis, who holds the military and financial power, the king came to greet him personally with Bovey, but Bovey, as the engaged party, looked unhappy.
The king was somewhat unhappy that Bowie was going to marry a commoner, but Bowie had no choice but to announce throughout the kingdom that he would definitely marry Ariel.
But the invitations have been sent out, but Bowie said yesterday that he didn't want to get engaged anymore. The king was very angry. He thought that changing his mind every day would make the royal family even less prestigious, so he no longer agreed to Bowie's nonsense.
Lorsis only spoke politely to the king and didn't care why Bowie looked so unhappy. He didn't have time to care about the fool's mood.
He came to attend the engagement party because the king asked him to. Recently, several powerful lords in the kingdom have been disobedient. The king has little real power, so he hopes that Lorsis can help to intimidate them.
The king once granted Lorsis a favor, and Lorsis accepted it. He held a glass of wine and went to talk to those lords, showing his power overtly and intimidatingly.
In the second half of the engagement party, Lorsis refused the invitation of other dignitaries who came to chat with their daughters. He walked away and sat behind an empty flower stand, drinking his wine slowly.
"Bowei, are you angry? Didn't you say you would always be nice to me? Why did you treat me so badly at the engagement party? It makes me lose face!"
"Of course I'm angry. I thought I wanted to marry you because you saved me, but I didn't expect that it wasn't the case. You just happened to pass by and saw me open my eyes, so you claimed to be my savior!" Bowie's face turned red with anger. "You are so hateful!"
"You were mean and sarcastic to the maids because of my special treatment of you. How can you be my wife when you have such bad character!"
If Bowie hadn't seen it by accident, he would have thought Ariel was a very gentle and kind person.
"I won't marry you. I'm going to find my savior!" With that, Bowie left angrily.
"So many people saw us getting engaged, Bowie, if you don't want to get married, then just don't get married? I will definitely become a princess!" Ariel plucked a handful of flowers, threw them on the ground and stepped on them several times.
After Ariel left, Lorsis stood up and left the party.
Too naive. Bowie might be stupid, but the king was smart. It was easy to get rid of a man without any background.
Lorsis didn't care about the two of them. He wanted to go and pick the white-leaf roses for Ahefuya himself.
When he walked out of the door, he asked Wanjiezhu: "By the way, who saved Bowie?"
"The partner of the mission target is called Felice."
Lorsis got on the carriage, just hoping it wasn't Ahephia. He didn't want her to get involved in other people's grudges and love affairs, as that would bring her trouble.
In the castle, Ahephia waited for Edmund's sister Daraya in the afternoon.
Daraya was a lively girl. She followed her father to do business and traveled to many places. She told Akhfuya about the scenery and interesting things she had encountered in the places she had visited.
She also patiently taught Ahefuya how to make desserts, and Ahefuya got along quite well with her.
On the third day after Lorsis left, Ahephia heard the singing of mermaids.
From Felice.
