"Stop!" Another young man ran over from a distance and quickly stood in front of the noble youth. "We are from the Spring Country. This is our Prince Richard. We are not bad people and have no hostility."
Eve could clearly sense that this man was also a knight. Isn't it said that those in the same trade are often rivals? She looked at the sword at the man's waist, wanting to test her skills, but duty trumped everything. She asked, "If the unconscious man is Prince Richard, then who are you?"
"I am Arno, the prince's attendant." The man gave an elegant knightly salute, his handsome face full of sincerity, making it hard to doubt him.
But this clearly didn't make Eve lower her guard. She asked again, "Since you are from the Spring Country, why are you on the coast of the Summer Country? And your prince is unconscious."
"His Highness came out to travel by ship. When we were near the Xia Kingdom, we encountered a storm. Our ship was destroyed, and His Highness fell into the sea. He can't swim, and I searched for him for a long time before finally finding him here." Arno added with lingering fear, "More than half of our people have gone missing at sea. Fortunately, His Highness was carried to the shore by the water, otherwise I would have been truly responsible."
Feng Guang was completely speechless. She knew that the unconscious nobleman was the male protagonist of the story "The Little Mermaid," and it turned out that she was right.
Eve, however, was not pleased. She continued to press, "You say you are a prince and his attendants from the Spring Kingdom. How will you prove your identities?"
“His Highness wears the royal crest.” Arno quickly knelt down again and took a ring from Richard’s arms. “Please look, everyone. This is the royal crest of the Spring Kingdom, the scales of the Goddess of Light.”
“Indeed, it is the royal emblem of the Spring Kingdom…” Eve recognized it at a glance. Since she could become Feng Guang’s close attendant, her level of education was naturally not low. She looked at Feng Guang and waited for his command.
Feng Guang paused for a moment, then naturally looked at Herman. She was waiting for his decision, even though, in terms of status, she should be the highest here.
Herman simply said, "Without official travel documents, the Xia Kingdom does not accept visitors from other countries. Please return the way you came."
Doesn't that mean telling someone to jump into the sea?!
Feng Guang glanced at the surging waves and suddenly agreed with Hermann's words.
Arno was clearly taken aback by Herman's words. He continued, "Sir, the Spring Kingdom and the Summer Kingdom have always been on good terms. Now that our Spring Kingdom's prince is in trouble, the Summer Kingdom doesn't seem to be willing to help. Isn't that a bit heartless?"
“If I were heartless, I would have thrown you back into the sea long ago, instead of giving you the opportunity to choose to walk back into the sea on your own.”
"Pfft..." Feng Guang couldn't help but laugh at Herman's words.
Herman did indeed have the ability to throw people back into the sea, that much was true. She just found it quite amusing that he put on such a serious face and said such a boastful thing.
Just as Arno was speechless, another group of people approached.
It was the King of Xia and his soldiers who were protecting him. Upon seeing the scenery, His Highness the King breathed a sigh of relief. "Wendy, I heard you rode out of the palace. I was very worried about you."
