Chapter 958: Warm face to a cold butt



The crown prince's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He wasn't a fool, he could tell that based on the way that the talks were going, it seemed like it was very likely that the engagement would have been cancelled.

So he could also tell that his father was trying to figure out a way to keep this engagement.

As for the method, he was very confident in the method used.

The crown prince was very confident in his own abilities after all, he considered himself a very eligible bachelor. This was true whether it was in the Tide Empire or outside of the Tide Empire.

So if he was given a chance, he would surely be able to seduce Ariel.

The Merman King didn't say anything, but that was because he knew that it was impossible to use words to convince these people. The best way to convince them was to let them play their tricks and then shut them down.

After all, he was certain that his daughter wouldn't fall for this fool of a crown prince.

After what he saw, he knew that this crown prince was the last kind of person that his daughter would fall for.

Seeing that the Merman King didn't say anything, the crown prince took this as a silent agreement and moved forward to approach Ariel who had been sitting on the side the entire time. She didn't say anything, it didn't even seem like she had been listening the entire time even though this matter was about her.

But she did notice the crown prince approaching her, so she narrowed her eyes to look at him. The crown prince took this as a good sign.

He took this as her showing her interest in him, which made him reveal a confident smile.

It was just that by doing this, he actually hurt his own impression in her mind.

He made himself seem like a fool in her eyes.

"What an idiot, why is he smiling all on his own?" Ariel thought to herself.

It really was the first time.

After a long awkward silence, the crown prince gave an embarrassed cough to adjust himself before saying, "Yes, it is a bit cold outside today, so how about we go relax by the fire in the

lounge?"

"Can you not hear me? I'm not interested." Once again, Ariel didn't mince her words as she directly rejected him.

The crown prince looked even more shocked after hearing this.

He just looked at her like he felt that there was something wrong with her.

Ariel didn't even bother looking at him after she rejected him as she looked around for something, anything more interesting than the crown prince.

The crown prince didn't know how to feel.

After all, he had never experienced the situation of sticking a warm face onto a cold butt before. It was always him who had ignored people, it had never been the other way around...

So now that it was happening to him, he just didn't know how to act.

As if to save him from his embarrassment, the Merman King said with a cough, "It seems that she's not interested. I think that we can just forget this matter."

The Tide Emperor had a shocked look at first before slowly knitting his brows.

The look on his face made it clear that there were more things that he wanted to say, but there wasn't anything that he could say in the end.

After all, the situation had already been embarrassing enough, so it would only make it worse if he said anything.

Regardless of what he said, it didn't seem like there would be any progress today.

So the Tide Emperor just had to suck it up and say, "It seems like we won't be able to reach an agreement today. How about we discuss this another day?"

The Merman King just gave a simple nod without saying anything, but the look in his eyes said more than enough.
