Itas was startled.
He couldn't be more familiar with that voice.
It was the voice he had recalled thousands of times.
Seeing him coming out, the people on the deck stepped forward one after another and said excitedly to him while making gestures:
"Your Highness, there are mermaids and mermaids!"
"Yes, yes, there is a very beautiful mermaid!"
"It's the first time I've seen a mermaid. It's so beautiful. Are all mermaids this beautiful?"
Itas walked out with heavy steps, and saw the mermaid on the water at a glance. His arms were stretched out, and the golden hair was dripping water drops. His ice blue eyes matched the surrounding blue sea water. A glance seems to be able to hook people's mind away.
"No." Itas looked at the mermaid on the water with some fascination, and his voice was very soft, "He is the most beautiful mermaid in the world. In this world, no mermaid can be as beautiful as him."
People around were slightly taken aback.
The mermaid on the water raised his arm and waved to him excitedly, "Your Highness!"
"His Royal Highness? Did I hear wrong? That mermaid is talking!"
"He's a talking mermaid!"
"He is calling His Royal Highness! He actually knows our Highness!"
Itas stood on the deck and looked at him, pursed his lips and smiled at him before slowly putting away his smile, and whispered to the people behind him with different expressions, "Go back to your room."
The people around were startled again, and then immediately lowered their heads and went back to the room as if they didn't know anything.
The character of His Highness Itas... seems to have been very uncertain all along.
He had obviously changed his face at this moment, and they didn't dare to go up against the wall.
It's just a shame...can't get to see that pretty mermaid any more.
After everyone on the deck dispersed, Yitas went down and carried Xie Yu onto the boat.
"...Actually, I can go by myself." Xie Yu blinked lightly, and said softly as he watched Itas's fish tail fall on his tail.
"It's inconvenient for you." Itas looked down at him with affectionate eyes.
Xie Yu raised his face slightly, and slowly stretched out his hand, the mermaid's white hand was full of pearls, "This is for you."
Itas paused, his eyes suddenly became ugly, he knew what these things were.
-Mermaid's tears.
Mermaid tears turn into pearls.
"Are you crying?" Itas hugged him and stood upright on the boat, his eyes darkened and his voice hoarse.
"...No." Xie Yu raised his hand and blinked slightly.
"You don't think I don't know that the mermaid's tears can turn into pearls, do you?" Itas felt a dull pain in his heart, hugged him and found a shady place to sit down, so as to prevent the mermaid's delicate skin from being sunburned.
Xie Yu froze for a moment, then smiled indifferently, "I'm always a crybaby..."
He put the large handful of pearls in his hand, and the white pearls rolled around, very beautiful.
Itas looked down at the pearls, and said in a calm voice, "The wound on your tail is healed."
Xie Yu glanced down and smiled, "Yes, it's done."
Itas' eyes darkened again, and his voice was very forbearing, "It's getting better soon and it's even more beautiful than before."
Seagulls flew over his head, and the comfortable sea breeze messed up Xie Yu's hair. He turned his eyes away, his gaze was a little unnatural, "Mmm."
