Chapter 96 Eric’s brother is back?

Countless illusory voices rang in Rhine's ears:

"I want to gain recognition from His Majesty the Sea King and the people of the Sea Kingdom, and no longer be seen as an ugly and terrifying monster."

"I want to enter human society, I want to fall in love and marry Prince Eric, I want to gain an immortal soul."

“I hope every merman who falls in love with a human like I did doesn’t have to go through the hardships that I went through.”

"Want to be with Ariel."

"I hope that the sea kingdom and the human kingdom can coexist peacefully from now on."

"Hope my sister/granddaughter is okay."

"I hope that the ships of the West Asian Kingdom can always sail safely on the sea. I hope that the West Asian Kingdom can gradually become prosperous and let everyone live a good life."

"I hope today's fishing will yield a good harvest so my family won't have to go hungry again."

"I hope this voyage will be safe and we won't encounter any storms."

"I hope that an ordinary mermaid like me can also have the opportunity to obtain an immortal soul like Princess Ariel."

“…”

These sounds intertwined with each other, layered on top of each other, and continued to echo in Rhine's ears.

After the alliance between the Kingdom of the Sea and the Kingdom of West Asia was reached, these powers of desire finally gathered together and condensed into new harvests.

Rhine stretched out his right hand and clenched it. Countless blue dots of light gathered in his hand to form the shape of a scepter. It started out as an illusion and then became solid.

"The Scepter of the Sea"! This is the embodiment of many wishes about the sea and the kingdom of the sea.

Just the moment he held the scepter, Rhine could feel the tremendous magical power within it, which was far beyond any previous time.

"I see. Multiple related wishes can be put together to exchange for a large reward."

"It's much better than getting a bunch of mediocre items or magic."

Rhine seemed to be thinking about something, his figure quickly faded away and disappeared on the spot.

The young man's figure appeared on the sea.

He floated in the air, and the fierce wind called by the scepter held him back and prevented him from falling.

The sky suddenly darkened, and dark clouds covered the clear sky in a few seconds. Silver lightning flashed through the dark clouds. The wind was howling. A huge black wave rolled up, like a small mountain, and crashed down.

Rhine pointed his scepter at the sea again, and a huge whirlpool with a radius of several kilometers formed on the sea surface. If there were any ships passing by, they would probably have been swallowed up long ago.

"Can directly command the ocean itself, creating tsunamis strong enough to submerge small island nations."

"At sea, I can directly call upon terrifying storms, harnessing strong winds and lightning, with enough destructive power to destroy an entire aircraft carrier battle group in my previous life."

“This is too horrible!”

Rhine waved the scepter again.

The strong wind died down, the huge waves subsided, and the dark clouds dispersed.

Before, he had no idea about the powerful magic of the black witch Maleficent that could directly affect an entire country. Now, he has truly experienced it.

"It can also be used on land, but the efficiency is not that exaggerated. It can only control water areas and water currents to a limited extent."

As Rhine was thinking, his figure faded away again.

…

Three days after the wedding of Prince Eric and Princess Ariel, the palace of the Kingdom of West Asia suddenly became bustling again.

"Eric, your brother Prince Henry is back home!"

The king said happily to Eric who was being intimate with Ariel at the window.

"Henry is finally back. I guess he won't be here for long and will have to run around again."

Prince Eric turned his head involuntarily and sighed.

"Eric, what kind of person is your brother? I seem to have heard you mention him several times?" Ariel asked.

When Prince Eric first proposed to elope, he made it clear that he had a younger brother who was traveling abroad and could inherit the throne.

"Hey. How should I put it..." Eric looked like he had a headache, "He's always a little unreliable... Uh, forget it, I'm not qualified to say anything about him."

Thinking back to when he was planning to elope with Ariel not long ago, Eric, who had now changed his ways and was planning to study hard to become the new king, felt that he was not much better.

"Eric, Father, I am glad to see you at last."

An excited voice came from outside the door.

"Brother, I just returned home and heard that you got married. Let me see what the bride looks like!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

A young man who looked somewhat similar to Eric strode in, not looking like a prince at all.

As soon as Henry saw the beautiful Ariel in Eric's arms, his eyes lit up: "Wow, my king, this is your new wife. I'm so envious!"

After spending a long time praising Ariel's beauty, he stopped only when both Prince Eric and Ariel began to feel embarrassed.

Then, Henry showed an expression of great regret and looked at the king: "Father, look, my brothers are married, but I don't even have a fiancée."

"Henry, don't think I don't know your character. During this time of traveling, you must have hooked up with a lot of girls." The king yawned.

"You can't say that, father. What I need is a formal fiancée!" Prince Henry looked aggrieved.

He emphasized excitedly:

"I'm serious this time. This is definitely not just for fun! I think I need to recruit a beautiful wife from all over the country."

"Okay, okay, what do you want, Henry?" The king waved his hands helplessly.

Prince Henry lowered his head, thought seriously for a while, and put forward his own idea: "I have a good idea.

“We can hold a huge ball in the palace and quietly announce that this is a matchmaking ball for Prince Eric’s brother, Prince Henry, and all the rich, prestigious, and attractive girls in the country can come and participate.

"I will choose the most beautiful, noble and elegant girl from this ball to be my fiancée!

"Hahaha, maybe a deep-sea mermaid will transform into a human to attend this dance because she has a crush on me. Then I will have a mermaid fiancée, just like my brother the king."

The king and Prince Eric looked at each other and sighed in unison.

"Are you sure you want to find a serious fiancée this time, not just for fun, right? Okay, I'll do as you say."

The king was already familiar with Henry's temper and was too lazy to argue with him. He thought it was not an excessive request and agreed.

"Great, praise father!" Henry jumped up excitedly.

In another room of the palace, Rhine, who was sorting out intelligence on the Witch Society with Aurora, heard the whole thing.

"Alas, it seems that Prince Eric's younger brother, Prince Henry, is indeed a bit unreliable." Aurora sighed.

"I was wondering, no wonder the king chose Eric, who was rebellious and obviously didn't want to inherit the throne, as the crown prince. It turns out that this younger brother is even more of a talented person." Rhine smiled and shrugged.

"But then again, why does this story of a prince holding a large ball to recruit a fiancée sound so familiar?" Rhine couldn't help but think further.

It's a bit like the story of "Cinderella"? (End of this chapter)
