There was a tense silence that hung in the air before the rman King and Queen finally let out sighs and just took a step back to give Ariel and space.
It was only then that Ariel put her arms down, but she didn't move away from .
She just stood there in front of as if she was protecting .
But the only thought that was on my mind was...
"Can you please not involve in this family drama?"
I wasn't even part of that family, so how could I be included in this family drama in the first place?
I didn't want the rman King and Queen to have the wrong idea about ...
Though if they didn't have the wrong idea, the right idea didn't seem that good either. After all, the reason that I had approached Ariel in the first place was because I wanted to use her as a defensive asure against the Tide Empire.
I didn't approach her for a good reason in the first place.
Of course, I wouldn't say that out loud.
After another silence, the rman King just said, "Alright, let's not talk about that for now." He turned to look at the rman Queen and she nodded before coming forward to ask Ariel, "What kind of contract did you sign? Is it the old pact or the new pact?"
"Which one?" Ariel had a confused look on her face when she heard this.
It was the sa for since there was no such thing in the ga either...
Both the rman King and Queen knitted their brows when they heard this, but the rman Queen kept asking, "Yes, which one did you make?"
Ariel was still confused, but she slowly said, "I just used the one that I read about before. The one where if we exchange flesh, we'll be able to take the form of each other."
The rman King and Queen both had ugly expressions when they heard this.
It seed that we had chosen the worst of the two options...
But that wasn't what I thought since this was the kind of thing that was easily broken in the ga.
In the ga, all we had to do was travel to the territory of the sea witches and do a quest to break the contract. It was actually quite the simple quest that it didn't seem like it would be a problem to do.
After all, this was just how it was in the ga or else the player wouldn't be able to access the rman Kingdom.
With a cough, I said, "Isn't it easy to solve this problem with the help of the sea witches?"
Both the rman King and Queen imdiately glared at .
Even Ariel was looking at with a strange look when I made this suggestion.
After a long and awkward silence, the rman King finally said in a slow and deliberate voice, "You want to cooperate with the sea witches?"
I slowly gave a nod even though I felt strange about the way that he asked this. "There's a reason why we banished those sea witches from our rman Empire in the first place!" The rman King suddenly roared which made take a step back in surprise.
I was completely caught off guard by how intense the reaction of the rman King was.
It seed like he thought that this was sothing that absolutely couldn't be accepted which was just strange to .
In the ga, there was no problem for the player to travel between the rman Empire and the territory of the sea witches. It was sothing that was easily done after the territory of the sea witches was unlocked on the map.
Even if there were a few things in the lore of the ga that talked about the bad relationship between the rman Empire and the sea witches, it didn't seem bad enough that there would be such an intense reaction.
It really didn't seem to make sense at all...
Or at least that was the case for a person like who had knowledge from the ga.
As I slowly thought about it, I figured that this wasn't the case for the people that lived in this world.
It seed that this was another one of those places where there was a disconnect between this world and the world in the ga. This piece of lore seed much more important than it did in the ga.
Ariel stepped forward and pulled aside before giving a lecture on the sea witches.
It seed that the history between the rman Empire and the sea witches was much deeper than I thought. With the way that she was explaining it, I could understand why the rman King had such an intense reaction.
But the problem was that the help of the sea witches really was the easiest way to solve this issue.
This didn't seem like it would be a viable option, so I guess we could see what other thods there were.
It wasn't that important right now.
The rman King and Queen seed like they had a few more things to say about the sea witches, but they eventually cald down once they finished their rant.
After they cald down, they turned to see the royal rmaid guards who were coming back to report.
They went forward close to the rman King and Queen so that they could report without us hearing what they had to say.
The rman King gave a nod in response before saying, "Go and contact the Tide Empire. Tell them to co here so we can talk about this."
The royal rmaid guards nodded before heading off to follow his orders.
The rman King was silent for a bit before turning to to say, "Human, rember that we will always repay our debts."
Then without waiting, he turned and took the rman Queen's hand before heading towards the buildings. It seed like they were planning to stay here for the night.
But as he was leaving, he stumbled when he heard...
"Dad, his na's Zwein!"
