The sun quickly set and soon it was night ti.
Before the sun had set, we saw what happened to Viper in the end.
They had been very efficient with their work, cutting off both his arms and his tongue without much blood. It seed that they had used flas to sear off the wounds that had been left behind so that he wouldn't die from blood loss or infection.
The sight of Viper just laying there without any arms and eyes that were completely dim created a very sorry sight.
One might even feel sorry for him if they didn't know what he had done before.
But we wouldn't feel that way since we knew the full extent of his cris.
After the sun set, I headed out to the beach.
This was without a doubt a very proper beach resort that was constructed as a place for the Tide Empire and rman Empire to negotiate. Since it was a proper beach resort and it had been a long ti since I had a vacation, I took full advantage of this trip to walk on the beach at night.
It would only have been better if I had been able to bring my wives along, but not everything could be perfect.
With the moon high up in the sky and the waves crashing on the beach, it really created a perfect mood.
At the sa ti, I was able to convince Klein and the others to not follow . Though it wasn't easy since they were guards that were supposed to protect in the first place.
Still, I was able to convince them to rest and relax as well.
With the mood that this place set, it really seed like it would be one of those scenarios where I would et a beauty on the beach.
As I walked along, I even saw a figure that was just sitting there under the moon on the beach.
It really seed like I would be having an encounter...but it wasn't the kind of encounter that I thought it would be.
Instead, it was a completely different kind of encounter.
When I ca closer, I found that the figure was getting bigger and bigger until it was even bigger than . As I ca closer, I was able to see with the light of the moon that this was a large man who was sitting there on the beach.
Once I ca close enough, I found that it was the rman King sitting there.
With the way that he was sitting there, it seed like he was thinking about sothing.
I didn't want to disturb him, so I turned around to leave. Only when I did, his voice suddenly rang out, "What are you sneaking off for? Co and sit, let's have a talk."
When he said this, there was no way that I could just leave.
There was a bitter smile that was on my face at first, but that disappeared when I turned around and went over to sit down beside the rman King. He didn't seem to notice at all, he didn't even seem to care that I sat down beside him as he kept staring out at the ocean.
There was an awkward silence that lingered in the air as we just sat there.
It didn't seem like the rman King was going to talk and there really wasn't anything that I could say.
But after a long silence, he finally said, "Thank you."
I was confused at first since I didn't know what he was thanking for, but I slowly understood why he was thanking .
It was because of Ariel.
She had run off on her own and there was no telling what would have happened to her if I hadn't found her. While she was a powerful princess of the rman Empire, that didn't an that she would be able to handle everything that was on land.
If I hadn't found her, there would have been terrible things that could have happened to her.
At the very least, I didn't do anything too bad other than making that contract with her.
I slowly turned to look at the rman King who just sat there staring out at the ocean without even looking at .
After another long silence, I said, "Well, I didn't do it out of the kindness of my heart."
The rman King gave a slow nod without saying anything.
It didn't seem like he would bla , which was why I had chosen to confess in the first place. I knew that a relationship was sothing that had to be built from both sides, it wasn't sothing that could be built if one side was lying to the other.
Honesty was the best policy when showing sincerity.
There was another long silence that hung there in the air, but I didn't mind since this let see another side of the rman King.
I had only ever seen the doting parent side of him, but it seed like there was the calm and collected ruler side of him.
Though it was only natural that there was this side of him in the first place, or else he wouldn't have been able to rule over a large empire like the rman Empire.
The two of us sat in silence like this for a bit before he suddenly stood up.
As he stood up, he said, "Regardless of what happened in the past, if you dare have any intentions towards my daughter..."
He didn't finish his sentence, he didn't even look at as he turned around to walk away. The rman King just left with this as he left.
There was a bitter smile that was on my face as a part of regretted not having the chance to explain, but it didn't matter since there was no need for these kinds of words in man to man talks like this.
There were chances in the future and this was our first ti learning from each other.
I'm sure that I will be able to clear this misunderstanding in the future.
