Chapter 444 – LONG LIVE THE KING (2)
“Lord! Please save us!”
“We cannot starve to death because of the mermaids.”
“Look down on us!”
Protesters filled the pier. The boats were tied up in rows, and only flies and stray cats roamed the fish stalls in search of rot.
The fishermen who put the freshly caught fish in the basket were shaking their heads and screaming. Even so, as if they were concerned about treason or conspiracy, they stuck to the word ‘Lord.’ I came to calm the situation, and I was surprised by the larger crowd than I expected, and even more surprised by the gentlemanly atmosphere. It seemed that they did not need to be forced to restrain them.
I put on a pretty dress for Selu, just in case, and he cleverly hid his tail his under his skirt. Eve put on his long boots to hide his webbed feet. When the lord came to the fore, the demonstrators remained silent. There was desperation in their eyes. Said the lord.
“Everyone. A mediator dispatched from the capital has arrived here today. Let me introduce you. This is Lord Peta Lucius, who saved us from the attack of the evil fishmen last time.”
When I heard my name, the fishermen started clapping their hands and cheering. It was as if an idol had appeared at a college town festival. I responded by waving my hand and bowed my head lightly to the lord. And told people
“Nice to meet you. Everyone. This is Peta Lucius. The kingdom is also very sorry about this situation. If humans have to make sacrifices for the coexistence of mermaids and humans, it would be a matter of reversal of the main guest. As I come here, I am being entrusted with all the powers necessary to settle matters in the capital.”
The decree from the king said that he gave me full authority over this matter. At my words, the eyes of the fishermen began to shine. There was no need to oppress the fishermen with this issue. Then, when these fishermen turn their eyes away and start hunting for mermaids, the story returns to the original point.
It was a little bit old and needed to be calmed down. I said.
“I intend to use this authority to proceed with a renegotiation of the mermaids and the mermaid sanctuary. Gentlemen, I intend to inform you of the results as soon as the reconciliation proceeds, so would you mind stopping this demonstration for a moment?”
Sailors are fierce in their nature, and if not appeased they will come back sharp. After I moderated it with a soft tone, they whispered and exchanged opinions, and then slowly dispersed one by one.
I gave a thumbs up while looking at Eve and Sellu. Sellu nodded at the way I showed her and Eve hugged me tightly. Lord Alu was relieved to see the demonstrators disperse. He asked me
“Lord Lucius. So, when do you plan to proceed with the agreement? Since the mermaids return all ships that enter their territory, we could not approach them.”
“I will open it when I go. There are even mermaids here.”
“Hehe.”
When I pointed at Sellu and said, Sellu grinned and drew a V. Yeongju was amazed.
“Oh, I see. Also!”
Then, holding my hand, he asked a difficult question.
“Can I observe? I would like to take this opportunity to open the dialogue with the leader of the mermaids. Isn’t it troublesome to call the lord every time this happens?”
I clicked my tongue at those words and looked at Eve. Eve averted my gaze, and Sellu shrugged her shoulders. It was because the leader of Mermaid Island now was Lua, a Lamian. Lord Alou knew that Le Ag was the mastermind behind the raid on the West Coast, and he had seen him executed.
“Uh… It won’t work because the mermaids are shy.”
“Can’t you do something?”
“Write… No.”
I shook my head. Lord Alu grabbed hold of my clothes once again and said.
“Please. Lord. Please…!”
He said he would do a good job but kept pushing him away, which was also suspicious. I nodded as if I couldn’t help it, and decided to leave the later work to me tomorrow. Way back to the mansion. Eve asked, pointing to Lord Alu, who had left earlier.
“Groom. How are you going to take care of the back?”
“The longer you procrastinate, the more annoying you are. If we’re together, I’ll try to explain something, but what if we meet separately later?”
“So how are you going to explain it?”
Sellu asked, rolling the wheels of her wheelchair. I shook my head and said.
“Give me some ideas. An idea the lord would believe.”
It was the next day to go to Mermaid Island.
*****
A cool sea breeze hit my ears. In the middle of the Great Sea, Eve changed into light clothes and jumped right into the sea. A stream of water rose wildly from the side of the boat. I saw the shadow of Selu swimming in the water. She bounced on her surface and waved her hand at me. On the other side Eve sprayed me with water as she clung to the boat. As I approached to grab her, it vanished into her water before I knew it, and popped back across her.
Lord Aloo was full of nervousness, the exact opposite of our lively appearance. Her pale face did not tell whether she was seasick or trembling with fear. Said the fisherman holding her steering wheel.
“We are now at the sanctuary.”
As soon as she finished her words, she felt an energy swimming in from afar. The shadow of the water, shot like a torpedo under the surface of the water, circled around the boat and stopped when it met Eve and Sellu. After a conversation in the water, they disappeared in the direction of Mermaid Island again. Youngjoo sighed and said.
“How did you pass?”
“Because my wives were originally from Mermaid Island.”
The boat headed straight for Mermaid Island. Amidst the dense reefs and rough currents, Eve and Sellu grabbed the boat and started to move around. The captain, who was holding the steering wheel, was started by the ship’s wayward movement, understood the situation, and let go of his hand.
The moss-covered mermaid’s paradise was approaching. I felt my lower body twitch. I took a deep breath and thought of Ann’s and Leah’s faces and pussies. A pussy shyly sticking out between the smooth lower parts of the body.
“After…”
“Puha! Groom. We are here!”
Eve climbed back onto the deck. Selu was cradled behind Eve’s back in her. I quickly corrected my expression and said.
“Great job. Eve.”
“Do you have any trouble? It was nice to be in the sea after a long time too. By the way, what did the groom think while we were away?”
“Why?”
“You were making a very strange face.”
“I was praying for world peace.”
“Damn it.”
Eve shook her head. Mermaids have already gathered on the rocky beach of Mermaid Island. Not as pretty as Yves or Sellou, but beautiful women in all their off-white colors were lying on the floor or standing looking at me, showing off their toned abs and breasts. And in their center was Le Ah, her long tail hanging down on the floor, staring at us.
“Well?”
Standing on the deck with a white face, the lord looked at Lua standing on the beach and frowned at her. When the lord of Leah came this way, he looked a little taken aback. Said the lord.
“It’s a face I’ve seen many times.”
“All mermaids are similar.”
“Oh, yes. Mermaids all look alike. Look. My mother and I look alike.”
Eve picked up Selou and held her pup next to her face her. Sellu gave the same grin as Eve. Youngju shook her head and spoke in a firm tone.
“No, it’s not like that, is it? That mermaid is suspicious to anyone. Where do you look to be a mermaid? Isn’t that Lamia? The Lamia who raided our western territory!”
“It’s a mermaid. Lord Alu. Take a good look.”
“Right! I am a mermaid!”
Le Ah hesitated, not grasping her situation her, then said so, showing off her fins her. The fins, which were made quite elaborately, were attached so well that you wouldn’t know unless you looked closely. Youngju looked at her fins and shook her head.
“I cannot be mistaken. That long tail! Those scales! Aren’t they all different from mermaids!”
“Ra, you don’t know anything like Lamia! I’m a mermaid! Look! You can even go into the water like this!”
Leah took a deep breath and she threw herself into the water. The mermaids around her were started and pulled out her lua again. Leah said her whole body turned blue and she pretended to be fine even though she shuddered.
“Look, look, look, look, look, see? It doesn’t matter even if you go into the water!”
Lord Alu shook her head resolutely and said.
“Lord Lucius can fool me, but he can’t fool me! This guy! Reveal your true identity!”
The atmosphere freezes. Eve looked around and looked at her, then pushed Lord Alu’s chest roughly. Lord Alu lost his balance on his deck and slipped and fell.
“100 million!”
“Fuck, are you a mermaid?”
“What are you doing! Mrs. Peta!”
“You bitch, are you a mermaid? Uh?”
“What does it matter now whether you are a mermaid or not… !”
“They say mermaids are mermaids, so why aren’t you a mermaid? Do all mermaids have to look like my mother? Uh?”
“No, that… So… !”
“You racist bastard.”
“I am not a racist!”
Lord Alu said so. And he looked at Leah again. His doubts his seemed to be less resolved, but he seemed to have understood the warning here not to dwell on the matter further. Now that Lord Alu had a troubling clue, it seemed like he might have to ask Dagon for a bit of an adjustment before he sent the strange document.
“Now, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, shall we talk briefly?”
Next to Leah was Anne. She looked at me awkwardly and said hello. Lua was looking at me with a complicated gaze. Said Leah.
“So, what brought you here? ‘We’ mermaids have nothing to give to humans.”
“Well, actually…”
I explained in detail the conditions set forth by the kingdom. The story that fishermen are having a hard time catching fish, so it would be nice if the mermaid sanctuary was put back. Of course, it was a story that promised to make the boundary marking more strict as much as the area was narrowed.
Le Ah was listening positively as she nodded.
