Chapter 1172: Family time (3)



There was no need to guess who this person was, there was only one other person that could be in this house.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After all, I didn't think that the former crown prince was someone that had the courage to cheat.

Though in the first place, he was someone that seemed to love his wife and daughter dearly, so it wasn't as if he would have wandering eyes.

This was the Great Witch of the Sea, Zyra and the wife of the former crown prince, the one that he ran away from his position to be with.

After coming down, she ignored both her husband and daughter to come over to Ariel's side to take a closer look at her. She didn't even hesitate to poke her head into the air bubble that was around us, but she didn't pop it.

This was an air bubble that was made with a god's power, so it was a powerful air bubble that kept most things away.

However, Zyra was one of the Five Great Witches of the Sea and someone who possessed powerful magic. It wasn't strange that she was able to make her way into the air bubble without breaking it.

After poking her head in, she took a closer look at Ariel before turning to look at me as well.

"It seems that the two of you made the contract not that long ago, so it doesn't have much power. Did you come here to find a way to break it or are you here for something else?"

She didn't beat around the bush and directly asked this question.

That was when Ariel hesitated.

There was a part of her that wanted to break this contract, but there was also a part of her that didn't want to break the contract since that was the only way that she would have her freedom.

She seemed to be completely focused on this contract that Zyra told her about.

As well, she slowly turned to look at me as if there was something that she wanted from me.

Even though she was a child, I couldn't help feeling a chill run down my spine.

But her father saw this and also stepped forward to block her from seeing me.

As if she was amused by this, Zyra suddenly said with a smile, "This contract was something that the old mermaids used to do when they fell in love with a human. They would form this contract so they could stay with them forever as a bride."

Then in a softer voice that seemed to have a strange tone to it, she added, "Though most of the time, that ended in disaster."

That was the straw that broke the camel's back.

The moment that the former crown prince heard this, he immediately looked at me with a hostile look in his eyes.

The way that he looked at me was as if he was afraid that I was here to steal his daughter.

However, I really wanted to say something in response to that.

No matter what, I wouldn't lay my hands on a child!

I didn't know how he saw me, but that wasn't the kind of thing that I would do!

In a cold voice, the former crown prince asked me, "What did you come here for?"
