After a mont of silence, the rman King added, "There's sothing else that I want to discuss with you."
I was surprised to hear this, but I gave a nod to show that I was listening.
The rman King didn't speak right away, as if he was hesitating over sothing.
I couldn't help raising a brow since I had no idea what he had to hesitate over at this point.
Did it have sothing to do with the corruption?
Did they find sothing after their research?
Sothing that was hard to tell ?
In the end, it was the rman Queen who urged the rman King to speak even though it seed like he didn't want to.
With a sigh, he said, "Our rman Empire has decided to send an official representative to your Kite Kingdom to represent our interests and to solidify our cooperation with you."
I was surprised to hear this since I didn't expect sothing like this, but I gave a simple nod and waited for who their representative would be.
It was just that it wasn't the rman King who told .
It was Ariel who was sitting there on the side.
She had been silent the entire ti, which should have been a tipoff since she wasn't the kind of person to remain silent like this. It seed that she had been keeping it in this entire ti so she wouldn't spoil the surprise.
"It's ." Ariel said with an excited tone to her voice.
There was also what seed to be a trace of triumph as if she had won a hard fought battle.
But thinking about it, with how unwilling the rman King and rman Queen were to let her leave the rman Empire in the first place, one could consider it a hard fought battle. Even now, the rman King looked unhappy when he heard Ariel say this.
It was clear that what he had been hesitant over was letting Ariel leave the rman Empire to go to the human world.
It seed that I had been worried about nothing.
Well, it wasn't that I had been worried about nothing since there was an implication to the rman King allowing Ariel to go to the human world.
It ant that they felt that it was too dangerous for Ariel to stay in the rman Empire now that the corruption had appeared.
In a sense, they were sending her away to keep her safe.
Only it didn't seem that Ariel saw it that way.
She saw it as her opportunity...
Even if she was soone that was optimistic, it wasn't as if she was soone that was dumb. Ariel should have known that her parents were just sending her away to keep her safe, rather than actually grudgingly agreeing to this to let her do what she wanted.
No, when I looked at her closely, I could tell that there was sothing different about her. After spending so ti with Ariel, I could say that I could see through her emotions to a certain extent. Based on what I could see, I could tell that she was just barely holding it in, she was acting this way out of concern for her parents.
Neither side wanted the other side to worry, so they were both acting this way.
I didn't want to put a damper on the brave mood that they showed, but there was sothing that I had to say.
I didn't say it out loud, but rather leaned in towards the rman King who was beside to say in a small voice, "It isn't as if the human world is safe either."
He had a calm look on his face, but I could see that there was a slight tremble because his intentions had been seen through.
After a mont of silence, he said, "But it's safer than under the sea right now. There's no telling where the corruption will co from and based on our research into the corruption, it seems like there's more to it."
I slightly knitted my brows upon hearing this, but I quickly relaxed my face to not show anything before saying in a small voice, "Is it related to the demons?"
The rman King didn't respond right away, but he eventually said with a sigh, "I don't know."
I once again slightly knitted my brows, but I didn't say anything in the end.
There must be more to this than he was showing, but it didn't seem like he was going to tell
.
I'm sure that there would be more to say later, but right now, it just wasn't the place to talk about it. So I didn't say anything else and relaxed my brows as I returned to the dinner in front of us.
Only before I could eat anything.
"Oh, I'm coming too." Puffer suddenly added to this conversation.
I slowly looked at her with a surprised look, but it seed like she was already moving on
with the way that she turned back to look at Zyra and her family.
"No, no, explain yourself." I had to say this since it wasn't as if I could just bring her along
that easily.
She was different from Ariel.
A sea witch and not just any sea witch, but one of the Five Great Witches of the Sea.
Soone like that would be considered a VIP even if she didn't have an official status.
But the main thing was the power that she wielded.
Her powerful magic made her akin to a weapon and it wasn't easy to bring a weapon back with
.
-Only...
"Your place has interesting things, so I want to research them. It's as simple as that." Puffer said without a single care, not even bothering to look at .
There was sothing that I wanted to say, but the rman King tapped on the shoulder to
stop .
Seeing the look that he gave , I knew that it wasn't that simple.
It had to be related to researching the corruption.
So in the end, I had no choice but to agree.
