Chapter 74: A Promise to Go to the Sea Together
When the old witch Ende heard that the prince of the West Asian Kingdom was coming by ship, she was very happy.
She knew early on that the little princess of Endeavour was the woman who saved the prince from the shipwreck - this was an encounter she had deliberately arranged. And Ariel today was just an emotional substitute.
When the prince meets the princess, all fate will be determined! The ignorant little princess was originally in a temple far away, learning the necessary etiquette for the royal family. Now she has also returned to Ende by boat, just to meet the prince of a foreign country.
Although she is the youngest princess of Endeavour, she is still two years older than Ariel. She is also a beauty with delicate and fair skin.
The old witch combed the princess' hair and sprinkled her with fragrant spices:
"My little princess, you will be able to meet the prince of the West Asian Kingdom tomorrow. I have sprinkled a charming fragrance on you, and you will surely be able to charm any man and make them dream about you.
"Take this packet of spices. From now on, you can sprinkle them on your body every day to make you always charming and attractive."
The old witch was not lying.
What she didn't tell the princess was that any man who smelled the captivating magical fragrance for a long time would be bewitched by her dark spell, lose his mind, and become a puppet who obeyed the old witch's orders.
From the beginning to the end, this princess of the En German Empire was unaware of all the political conspiracies, and did not know that her fate had already been arranged by others. She did not know that she was another hidden weapon for her father to conquer the continent, and a tool for the court witch to join the Witch Society.
"I'm ready to meet the foreign prince," said the princess.
She actually had no interest in the prince of the West Asian Kingdom whom she had never met before, but as a princess of the royal family, she knew that she was just a chip on her father's table and had no right to choose.
The princess was sure who she loved deeply——
In the past, under the guidance of the old witch, she went to a temple in the forest to learn all the royal virtues and etiquette.
One morning, when it was just dawn, the princess walked out of the temple as usual and bathed in the morning light. She happened to see a handsome young man lying on the shore, his face as pale as a corpse.
He must have encountered a terrible shipwreck and was washed ashore by the waves! The princess woke up the boy, called on the people around to rescue him, and then turned and left.
It was a beautiful encounter, but it was imprinted in the little princess' heart.
The princess still doesn't know who the handsome young man is, but judging from his silk clothes that were wet by the sea water but still precious, he must be a young man from a wealthy family.
With a nervous mood, the princess looked up at the sea in the distance——
A magnificent wooden boat was slowly approaching from a distance, carrying the prince of the West Asian Kingdom.
…
Under the glow of dawn, the ships of the West Asian Kingdom sailed into the port of the Ender Imperial City.
The bells of the belfry rang, the sounds of harps floated down from many tall buildings, the soldiers saluted with shining bayonets, and the heralds raised the fluttering flags.
Before Prince Eric was about to get off the boat to meet the seventh princess of Endeavour as agreed, he found Ariel again.
"Ariel, you still have that bottle of wine with you, the wine that will give you your beautiful fish tail again." The prince said, "After I leave this time, I will return to this ship within three days."
The prince continued:
"If I didn't come back on time, something might have happened. For example, someone might force me to stay there until I accepted the Princess Ende—this might be a negotiation between my father and Ende.
"If I still haven't come back when the sun sets for the third time, you should drink the bottle of medicinal wine and jump into the sea. With the nourishment of the sea water, you will grow your beautiful fish tail again.
“And I would do the same thing: drink the medicinal wine when no one is paying attention and jump into the sea.
"We will meet in the sea together! " "We agreed to meet in the sea water below this ship. Then, you will take me to the palace in the deep sea! " "Whether it is my father or others, they will think that we just jumped into the sea to commit suicide for love and have died long ago. My sensible younger brother can finally replace my useless elder brother and become the crown prince of the West Asia Kingdom.
"But no one would know that we are in that world in the sea, singing and dancing together!
"No one would have thought that we would swear a vow of love and share an immortal soul in that palace under the deep blue sea!"
Ariel nodded slightly, squeezed the brown medicinal wine in the package, and agreed to the prince's proposal.
"By the way, Eric, if you are in trouble, maybe this thing can help you."

The mermaid princess, the mermaid, handed Prince Eric a small, smooth silver mirror.
This was the gift that the magician Rhine had given her when she left the Deep Blue Ocean. She could call the magician regardless of distance and seek his help.
But until now, Ariel has never used it.
But maybe Prince Eric will need it later! "Just face the mirror and tell the difficulties you encounter. No matter how far away you are, the magician Rhine will be able to hear you..."
The prince thanked Ariel, waved goodbye to her, and stepped off the magnificent ship.
…
At the celebration, Prince Eric finally met the German princess.
"It's you!"
When the familiar face came into view, Princess Endeok was so surprised that she couldn't believe her eyes.
When the people around her told her that this was the prince of the West Asian Kingdom, the princess almost thought she was dreaming and had hallucinations because of excessive thinking about him.
