Chapter 110 Fairy Tale (End)
Even though Vespera had seen a lot of the world, he was still stunned by the scene before him.
The ground was covered with gold, gems and pearls.
Naga took Vespera's hand and led him to the beach, holding him and sitting on a low rock, then jumped into the water to salvage the treasures that fell into the sea.
He fished out a crown and placed it on Vespella's head, saying, "It suits you very well. Perhaps it belonged to one of your great-grandfathers many years ago?"
He then offered a scepter and asked, "Are you interested in this sea? Perhaps you would like to become the king of the sea?"
He salvaged ashore pieces of luxurious jewelry, antiques, and artworks. These were Naga's wealth that he had accumulated over a long period of time, and he presented them all to His Royal Highness the Prince.
Vesperia was already covered with a dazzling array of jewels, and those that he couldn't hold on his body were piled up on the beach like a small mountain.
"That's enough." Vespera sighed, "It's too much. You don't have to give me so many things."
Naga hugged Vespera's calf, resting her pretty face on his knee, nuzzling it gently, and said flatteringly, "I want to give you everything I have."
"You should possess all that is valuable and precious but less valuable than you. You yourself are the most precious."
"I'd even give you my heart."
Naga took Vespera's hand and led him to touch her chest.
The heart thumped beneath her muscles, trembling at the same rhythm as her own, causing Vespera's fingertips to tremble.
Even though he already knew the truth, he was still moved by the siren's sacrificial gesture every time.
"Naga, perhaps I was wrong when I said before that you didn't understand human emotions, or love." After a long silence, Vespera spoke slowly. "I was too arrogant. I underestimated your feelings. I can't imagine a love more passionate than the gift of a heart. I've said it before, but I say it again: Thank you, Naga, for saving me."
"You're welcome." Naga looked at Vespera affectionately. "Who made me so infatuated with you? From the moment I saw you standing on the deck from afar, I knew you would be my prince."
Vesperia jumped into the sea. Thanks to the changes, he now had some siren blood and was enjoying the feeling of soaking in the water more and more.
The moonlight cast a shadow on the siren's beautiful face, which made him look fuller and more three-dimensional.
Vespera couldn't help but put her hand on Naga's cheek.
"That mushroom is quite effective. You're getting smarter and smarter," Vespera said. "I've never really liked smart people. I hope I'll always be the smartest among the crowd, but you're so stupid. It wouldn't be a bad idea for you to become smarter."
He was referring to what Naga said in the nest that day when she said she would pursue him seriously.
Vesperia recalled the past two days and found that Naga was really pursuing him seriously - feeding, creating surprises, giving gifts, and praising and expressing love all the time.
It's like a romantic movie I've seen before. Vesperia smiled.
"How I hope you will accept my pursuit." Naga moved closer to Vespera, his hands resting on her waist and back in a gesture of intense protectiveness and genuine love. His lips, rounded like petals, pressed against Vespera's ear as he whispered, "But I won't force you. I only beg for your pity and reward. Prince, I adore you so much, I love you deeply."
"Listen, our heartbeats are completely synchronized. Do you dare to say that your heart isn't beating for me? Do you dare to say that you don't like me at all?"
"I..." Vespera hesitated. "I've never liked anyone before. I thought it was just curiosity—I wanted to keep you as a treasure."
"Do you hate me treating you like this?" Naga asked.
His fingers burrowed easily into Vespella's floating clothing.
After retracting the sharp nails, the fingertips ambiguously stroked the chest where the siren's heart resided.
"Did you know?" Naga's hand went around Vespella's back, stroking the uneven scar. It was the only imperfection on the noble prince's body, but it was also the most unbreakable connection between the two. "When I found you, you were being tossed around by a few stupid sharks. Your ankle was scraped against the reef, just a little. It was that little smell of blood that led me to you. I brought you to shore and looked at you up close. You were even more handsome than I had imagined countless times. At that time, I thought, no matter what, I must save you."
"So you..." Vespera couldn't help but shrink back in shyness from being touched, and happened to shrink into Naga's arms.
"So I cut your back with my own hands. Forgive me, I had to do this."
"Why not the chest?"
"Because I don't want you to see your scar when you look down. You are so perfect - I put my heart in it. Guess what I was thinking?" Naga asked with a smile.
Vespera thought for a moment and then said, "Are you in pain?"
"No, I didn't feel any pain at the time. In fact, I was very excited," Naga said. "I think a part of my heart is in you. You are like a little baby. I am very happy that a part of me belongs to you."
Vespera swore that he had never heard such touching love words.
A beautiful, dangerous, and even slightly evil top predator of the ocean, stood in front of me, wearing the shackle-like necklace I gave him around his most vulnerable neck, and offered his loyalty and heart to me the first time he met me.
He is so obsessed with me.
He is still courting me now.
Vespera had never been in love and had never loved anyone, but that didn't mean he was so dull as to be unaware of his own thoughts.
"You've convinced me a little..."
By the time Vesperia reacted, his arms were already around the Siren's neck.
Their chests were pressed against each other, their legs... their legs were wrapped around the snake's tail.
The proud prince was still unwilling to express his love for the mermaid directly until this moment.
But he acquiesced to the Siren's action and said provocatively: "I heard that snakes have a pair of copulatory organs?"
Traveling at night is a very dangerous thing.
There are countless eyes in the sea, spying on the delicious humans in the dark. It is a danger that ordinary people can hardly deal with.
Unless, your partner is the top predator himself.
…
When the cruise ship set sail again, Minister Robbies held a celebration ceremony.
But His Royal Highness Prince Vespera and his son's partner, farmer Bai Su, two key figures in the disaster relief operation, were both absent from the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
This work had to be done by the high priest.
In fact, they even missed breakfast and lunch and didn't show up in the banquet hall until almost the end of dinner.
At this time, the Siren, as the pilot bird, had already worked a day on the ship and was forced to continue working the night shift.
Vespera asked curiously, "How did you get him on board?"
Naga replied, "Just scold him, and when he gets angry and rushes down to hit me, use the net to cover him."
Bai Su, who was drinking juice at the side, coughed violently.
"..." Vespera commented, "You two are both quite uncultured."
The bright moon rose over the sea, and the journey began again. The tense atmosphere caused by the accident was completely cleared away by the dance music that suddenly sounded in the banquet hall.
The idle people present smiled knowingly at each other and walked towards the dance floor hand in hand with their lovers.
Naga also looked at Vespera with anticipation.
Vespera blushed, "I'm afraid I don't have the energy to dance with you. You know, I haven't recovered yet."
A pair of switchers is still too much, even if one of them only plays a supporting role.
"Okay." Naga said without any reluctance, "I'm just a little curious about your human dances. The story says that the little mermaid danced beautifully for the bride and groom, and everyone cheered for her enthusiastically. It was the happiest moment of her life, and also her last dance in her life. Do you want to see me dance?"
Vespera shook her head. "I guess you can't dance."
"You're always right." Naga shrugged and muttered.
Bai Su and Keos were also dancing. To be more precise, they were simply spinning hand in hand on the dance floor. Because of their height difference, they couldn't touch each other face to face.
But they seemed to be totally into it.
Vesperia watched with interest for a while, then turned and told Naga that the two were the newlyweds who got married on the ship on the night of the shipwreck.
The Naga seemed very interested and chased after Vespera, asking him many details. She also said that she would ask them again during the next meal.
"Will we have a wedding too?" asked Naga.
"I will." This time, Vespera answered without hesitation.
He decided to accept all the unexpected surprises in life in his third life, such as the fact that he actually had a mermaid partner.
Perhaps a palace-style wedding will make Naga the fairy tale princess he envied?
Thinking of the gold, silver and treasures in his suite on the cruise ship that filled an entire living room, Vespera thought that it would be nice to have a stupid partner. At least he wouldn't hide any private money and wouldn't have any property disputes like his parents.
"Oh no!" Vespera suddenly remembered something. "The high priest said that eating that mushroom would be good for you. I forgot."
At this moment, the cruise ship has sailed out for who knows how many nautical miles.
"It will be good for you too," Naga said. "Eat it, and maybe your nails will become sharper... Where are you going?"
"Let's go for a night stroll," Vespella said. "I want to invite you to go for a night stroll with me. Will you come? Let's go back to the beach where I first saw you, beautiful little mermaid."
Naga's eyes lit up.
He thought, Vesperia is so nice to me, she wants to swim to Ya Island and pick mushrooms for me.
He must be the best prince in the world.
In the bustling banquet hall, just like the wedding at sea that night, the curtains were hanging, the atmosphere was magnificent, and there was singing and dancing.
Vespera went against the current of the bustling crowd, but this time, he was not alone.
They came to the deck and jumped into the water one after another.
The Noctiluca scintillans and some stupid little fish were attracted by the paths the two people were swimming in, and followed them stupidly to steal some oxygen.
The siren held his human prince and swam towards a deeper, bluer place.
This is an ending that is even more fairy-tale than a fairy tale.
Instead of marrying the princess from a neighboring country, the prince got together with the mermaid who saved him and loved him deeply.
