Chapter 949: Doting parents (3)



This time, it was Ariel's turn to be surprised.

Even though she had been doted on by her parents, she didn't think that they would

completely ignore the consequences that this would pose to the Merman Kingdom just to support her.

After the Merman King made this declaration, the Merman Queen came forward to put a hand on Ariel's shoulder to say, "Darling, it doesn't matter who's against you, we'll always be on your side."

Ariel looked even more surprised hearing this.

Her mouth opened and closed a few times as if she didn't know what to say.

But her eyes eventually relaxed and she looked at her parents with a touched look as she softly said, "Mom, dad...thank you."

The Merman Queen tapped Ariel on the head before saying, "Silly girl, we're your parents. Do you need to thank us? It's our job to be on your side."

The Merman King didn't say anything, but he did give a strong nod to show his support.

Even Sebastien and the other royal mermaid guards gave small nods of agreement to show their support for this.

It was clear how much this royal couple loved their daughter, it was also clear how much the Merman Empire loved their princess. It almost seemed like they would do anything for her.

A long silence followed this touching moment before Ariel gave a cough to clear her throat and say, "Then what should we do about him?"

She was naturally referring to Viper who was still struggling and trying to break free.

Viper's eyes and ears weren't blocked, so it wasn't as if he couldn't see and hear everything that was happening. He wasn't a fool either, so he could tell what was about to happen to him. If he didn't find a way out of this place, the only fate that awaited him was death.

But they were able to hold themselves back in the end.

The Merman King and Queen looked at Viper with cold eyes as he tried shaking his head and denying everything that Ariel had accused him of. Only the way that he did it made him seem even more guilty.

Well, even if he didn't do this, the Merman King and Queen wouldn't have believed him over their own daughter. So in the first place, Viper's fate had been sealed from the moment that she accused him.

After looking at him with those cold eyes for a bit, the Merman King said, "It's a good thing that we're here, aren't we? That just means that we'll be able to hold those Tide Empire b*stards responsible for what they've done."

The Merman Queen gave a firm nod of agreement.

The Merman King didn't hesitate as he said, "For his crimes, we'll cut off his tongue and arms so that he will never be able to do the same thing again."

The royal mermaid guards moved forward towards Viper as if they were about to take him

away.

Klein looked at me as if he was asking for my permission, but I just gave a simple nod for them to let Viper go.

After all, I could tell that there was a deliberate part of this punishment on the part of the Merman King.

There was no need to cut off the tongue was there?

Unless he could guess what Ariel wanted to do with Viper.

If he knew and he was still going along with it, it seemed like we were completely wrong about how much these two doted on their daughter. Or perhaps there was something happening behind the scenes when it came to the relationship between the Tide Empire and the Merman Empire.

Regardless of what it was, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing for us.

Viper kept struggling, but he was pulled away by Sebastien and the others for his punishment.

I was pulled back from my thoughts when the Merman King suddenly asked, "So how did you get human legs?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
