Chapter 954: My fair goddess



Two days later, the ship carrying the Tide Emperor and his group arrived on Peace Island.

When they arrived, they found that the Merman King and the others from the Merman Empire were waiting for them.

Though they were surprised to see the full group of royal mermaid guards that were behind them.

This seemed different from the other meetings that they had before.

It seemed like they were here to fight rather than to have a peaceful meeting.

The Tide Emperor and his group couldn't help feeling a bit worried when they saw the Merman Empire group like this, but that worry was soon dispelled after they landed and disembarked from the ship.

The Merman King came forward with a smile as he said, "It's good to see you again!" The Tide Emperor immediately revealed a smile as well as he took the outstretched hand offered by the Merman King as he said, "You as well!"

Though the two of them were smiling, the smile never really reached their eyes.

This was normal for both of them since they were rulers of their nation and hiding their emotions like this was necessary. Even if there was a good relationship between their nations, it wasn't as if that couldn't change at any moment.

That was just how politics went.

The two of them exchanged a few simple greetings before the Merman King invited the Tide Emperor's group onto the island.

Though there was no real need to be invited, the Tide Emperor acted as if he didn't mind this at all. He was more than fine with letting the Merman King act as the host since he was the one that invited them here in the first place.

The Tide Emperor wanted to go along with this to see what the Merman King was planning.

However, there was one thing that made him knit his brows.

He didn't catch sight of the Mermaid Princess, Ariel.

She was supposed to be the other party that was involved in today's matter, so it was strange that he didn't see her at all. She should have been here for this meeting since it involved her.

So he couldn't help feeling strange not seeing her.

The Tide Emperor responded in kind with a smile on his face.

The others also started exchanging greetings, showing that they were quite close with one another.

There was nothing that seemed off.

But the crown prince didn't seem to care about any of this as his eyes were still on Ariel.

He reached behind him and pulled out a bouquet of roses that he had been hiding the entire time. With how perfect they were, it seemed like he had put in quite a bit of effort to make sure that they were properly preserved.

With a confident smile on his face, he moved towards Ariel with the flowers at the ready.

Once he came over, the crown prince fell to one knee and raised the flowers in front of him to present to Ariel as he said, "Oh, my fair goddess. I present these humble flowers to you in hopes of receiving one glance of your beautiful eyes."

The way that he said this was very smooth and coupled with his handsome looks, he might have been able to fool some normal girls.

Only...

"What are these for? Can you eat them?" Ariel said with a tilt of her head.

The smile on the crown prince's lips twitched when he heard this.

He had to look at Ariel again as if he was trying to figure out if she was being serious or not, but Ariel just looked at him with the same confused look. When he saw her looking at him like this, he couldn't help feeling that she looked cute.

At the same time, he didn't think that she was doing this on purpose, so it wasn't as if he

could blame her.

But in reality...she was doing it on purpose.

She was purposefully acting like she didn't understand what he was saying, playing the fool

so to say.

After all, the best way to counter those slick playboys who were confident in their actions was to act the fool to throw them off.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
