Chapter 72: The King “changed his mind”?

Rhine shook his head:

“I don’t recommend that you drink this potion now and elope to the sea immediately.

"I predicted last night that you might soon encounter a turning point in your destiny.

"You can wait a few more days to see what the turn of events will be before making a decision..."

Prince Eric and Ariel nodded and thanked the magician once again for helping them so many times.

Afterwards, Ariel chatted with Aurora for a while and talked a lot about her experiences after arriving on shore.

The two princesses with special experiences talked a lot.

Afterwards, the prince and Ariel, the couple in love, said goodbye and left.

After seeing off Prince Eric and the mermaid princess Ariel, Aurora recalled their conversation: “Prince Eric said that there is no better ending than this. There is no better ending than the two of them becoming mermaids together, jumping into the sea, and living forever in the deep blue ocean.

"This way Ariel can return to her family, and Prince Eric no longer needs to be bound by his father."

Rhine smiled and responded with his strange sense of humor:

"That's because they don't have a good imagination."

…

Prince Eric and Ariel followed the magician's instructions and did not immediately drink the medicinal wine that would turn their legs into fish tails, but waited patiently for a few days.

During the next few days Prince Eric had a suit of men's clothes made for Ariel, so that she could ride with him on horseback, and they rode through the woods, the green branches touching their shoulders and the birds singing in the sunshine.

They cherish this time very much because it may be their last days on land.

Ariel climbed the mountain with the prince and looked at the clouds and birds flying below - this reminded her of the time she spent at sea, when she was high above the sea, watching the little fish swimming below.

A few days later, when the German delegation was about to return home by ship, a turning point in fate occurred.

The king called the prince.

"My child, I have some ideas about your engagement.

"Well, take your entourage and go on a boat to meet the little princess of Endeavour. Perhaps you will fall hopelessly in love with her the moment you see her. No one can tell the truth about love.

"When you come back, if you really have no interest in the little princess, I will reconsider your marriage and may even set you free."

Prince Eric was stunned.

He never thought his father would make such a suggestion! Doesn't this imply that if he really wasn't interested in the little princess, his father wouldn't force him?

"Thank you for your tolerance, my father!"

The prince thanked his father.

"What the magician said is true. My fate has really taken a turn for the better. He looks like a child, but he is a genius prophet!" The prince sighed in his heart, "Of course, this does not mean that my father has really changed his mind. I still have to consider the possibility of drinking the medicinal wine and eloping to the sea with Ariel."

Looking at the prince's excited back as he left, the king sighed softly and recalled what the Ender envoys told him before they left.

The envoys from Endeavour said there was no need to worry about the prince's rebellion.

They assured that the prince fell in love with someone else only because he had not yet met their beautiful princess.

The messengers also said that the witch in their kingdom had predicted: "When the prince really sees the beautiful princess, he will fall hopelessly in love with her, and today's dispute will be meaningless!"

"Because the prince of the West Asia Kingdom and the princess of Ende Country are destined to be together, and no one can stop them!"

If that's the case, then I don't have to worry about it... The king sighed.

"But speaking of prophecy..."

The king suddenly remembered that the fortune teller he had recruited a few days ago, the great magician of the Rose Kingdom, was still temporarily staying in his palace! "Hey, I recruited the fortune teller before because I wanted him to help me find out the background of the girl named Ariel. I have been busy contacting the Ende German delegation recently and have no time to take care of this matter."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"According to Eric, the magician from the Rose Kingdom seemed to have divined something useful. At least he said the girl's name was Ariel. Are there any other details?"

"Hey, isn't Eric responsible for this matter? If the divination really revealed some useful information, why has he been avoiding talking about it?"

"Is Ariel's background so sensitive that Eric, who fell in love with her, doesn't even want to mention it."

The king's thoughts wandered, and he immediately asked his subordinates to call Rhine over.

…

The little silver-haired magician came before the king.

"Great magician of the Kingdom of Rose, sage who has come from afar, I would like to ask, have you predicted the life experience of the girl named Ariel?" the king asked curiously.

The king had considerable respect for this foreign magician of some fame.

He knew that kingdoms that offended powerful magicians would generally not have a good ending.

"Of course, my Lord," Rhine replied.

"Where did she come from? Why does she have such a beautiful singing voice and such graceful dancing?" the king asked again.

(Note: "The medicinal wine that turns human legs into mermaid tails" is very important and will definitely be used later. To be honest, "the prince and the little mermaid turned into mermaids and fell into the sea" is indeed what I thought of, a very romantic ending. But the final ending is obviously not like this. The tone of this book is still based on a happy ending.) 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
