Chapter 73: The prince will marry the princess of a neighboring country.
The wise man of the Kingdom of Rose answered truthfully:
"Ariel comes from a kingdom your majesty has never known.
"In that blue kingdom, every citizen has a voice as beautiful as the sounds of nature and a dancing posture as graceful as a butterfly. Of course, even in that kingdom, Ariel is one of the best singers and dancers."
"I see..." The king was a little disappointed. "It seems that Ariel's singing ability is just a talent, not some blessed magic spring or panacea."
This means that he cannot replicate this talent.
"A kingdom that even I have never heard of? It must be somewhere far, far away!"
The king had no doubt that there were faraway kingdoms in the world that he had never heard of.
There are so many secrets hidden on this continent, and there are many unexplored secret realms!
He became interested in the kingdom that Rhine mentioned: "Dear magician, can you tell me something about that kingdom? If your divination magic can show some detailed images of that kingdom, then maybe I have heard of that kingdom too?"
Rhine replied with a smile, introducing the poem poetically:
“When I was divining Ariel’s life story, I saw the beautiful scene of that kingdom: “The ground there was covered with fine white sand, and there grew strange trees and plants. There were many colorful little animals that the people here had never seen before, and they would happily run through the branches and leaves.
“The most magnificent building in that kingdom is their palace.
"The walls of the palace were made of coral, and the tall pointed windows were of the brightest amber. It was also inlaid with so many large and bright pearls that any one of them would have been the most gorgeous ornament for her Majesty's hat.
"These beautiful things are quite valuable in the West Asian Kingdom, but they are very common there. Even ordinary children use them as toys."
The king was stunned, as if he was experiencing a dream: "That is really a special kingdom.
"It would be great if we could trade with them. Let them sell those common things to us, and we can sell them to other countries. This way we can definitely earn a lot of gold and silver coins, and make the entire West Asian Kingdom rich!"
But the king gave up the idea immediately and sighed helplessly:
"What a pity! That kingdom must be very far away and have almost no communication with other countries in the world - otherwise why would their prices be so bizarre? There is no possibility for them to trade with our West Asian kingdom."
Temporarily forgetting the distant dream kingdom, the king finally asked the question he was worried about: "Dear magician, foreign sage, you may not know:
"My son, Prince Eric, has been obsessed with Ariel, the girl from the kingdom of fantasy. However, he was supposed to marry a princess from a neighboring country.
"Prince Eric is going to visit the princess of the neighboring country these days. Do you think he will change his mind? " "Your Excellency is an excellent prophet or seer, and you must be able to see much more than an ordinary person like me."
He deliberately used the word "neighboring country" instead of emphasizing "Ende" because the king knew that the country where the magician came from had once been invaded by Ende.
Rhine pretended to rub the crystal ball, and silver light bloomed in his eyes.
After a long time, the little magician finally made a prediction:
"I see it, I see it. I see the future! " "In the not too distant future, His Royal Highness Prince Eric will marry the youngest princess of the neighboring country!
"They fell in love at first sight. They fell hopelessly in love with each other and devoted all their souls and emotions to each other. Their marriage is a testimony to the friendship between the two countries! All the people of the two kingdoms will bless them."
After receiving the magician's prediction, the king breathed a sigh of relief.
He finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in his heart.
“Both the witch from Ende and the wise man from the Kingdom of Rose, these two court magicians with superb magic skills, foresaw that Prince Eric would fall in love with and marry the princess of a neighboring country.
"It seems that after Prince Eric actually takes the ship to meet the little princess of Ende, his mind will definitely change. Then I don't have to worry about it."
The king thought happily.
He also rewarded the magician with a lot of gold and silver and sent him away.
As he walked out of the palace, a curve appeared at the corner of Rhine's mouth.
"It seems that I am becoming more and more talented as a charlatan. I am increasingly understanding the essence of being a prophet."
Things like prophecy mean one thing in the literal sense.
How the people who heard it understood it was another matter! "So, the Sea King and his subordinates are already prepared, and they just have to wait until the right time comes..." Rhine muttered in his heart.
Thinking of this, Rhine couldn't help but sigh that being a prophet or a fortune teller is really a good identity on this continent.
These charlatans sounded objective and neutral enough. No matter whether what they said was right or wrong, the king and nobles would at most suspect their lack of expertise. They seldom realized that they had their own stance!
Whether it was the last time he was received by Prince Eric, or the time he was summoned by the king, Rhine had already grasped the essence of the prophet:
Pretend to be neutral and provide information to employers.
In fact, it was all a conspiracy behind the scenes! How could such a prophecy not come true?

…
The prince told Ariel the good news.
He kissed her bright red lips and held her in his arms.
“My father asked me to meet the princess of Endeok and told me that if I was really not interested in her, he would consider allowing our marriage.
"I've never been so eager to meet the little princess of Eun-guk—I don't even need to do anything but say no!
"I can bring my entourage with me. My Ariel, you should come with me too!"
Ariel was a little worried again: "Why did your father make such a suggestion? Is he so sure that your mind will change drastically after seeing the princess?"
When the prince heard this, he did feel that there was something wrong.
“Does that mean that once our ship reaches Endeavour, we will be forced to stay there, unable to leave, until I agree to marry the little princess of Endeavour?
"It sounds a bit exaggerated, but it's not completely impossible."
They discussed various possibilities and finally made an agreement:
"If the situation really reaches a point of no return, we will drink the medicinal wine together, jump into the sea, and become mermaids together!"
Eric and Ariel, along with the rest of the group, boarded a gorgeous ship and headed for Ender Germany.
As the ship sailed across the sea, Ariel and the prince talked about many things about the sea.
They talked about calm seas and storms, the strange fish living in the sea, and what divers could see in the sea.
The servants around him all thought that the young prince and the girl he picked up were just chatting about what they saw at sea.
Only this couple in love knew that what they were talking about was where they were going.
