Ariel nodded and asked rhetorically, "Mr. Cream, if so, what do you want to do?" If not, what do you want to do? ”

Cream exhaled, looking slightly depressed. He shook his head lightly and said, "I...... Not sure what I'm going to do. If His Excellency the Baron admits that our mermaid song will be controlled by the royal family next, then there is nothing I can do. I was just...... I just want to know who I'm working for. If it was the former President Arrow, then even if I didn't risk this life, I would do everything for President Arrow and the Mermaid Song. But now, if I'm actually working for the royal family...... I might ...... Maybe it's ......"

Cheese snorted and said, "What? Don't you have a crush on your human emperor? ”

Cream scratched the back of his head: "It's not that I don't have a good feeling, I should say that I don't feel anything." I was born as a street gangster, although all the time those who were rich and of status were talking about respecting the royal family, which brought us hard-won peace and food. But to be honest, I didn't feel like the royal family had brought me anything. ”

"When I was a child, the street was a mess, with the mayor taking bribes and colluding with bandits to collect all sorts of taxes from the townspeople. Some minor lords will also attack each other for some territory, fight with each other, and even poison and assassinate each other. ”

"In my limited life, it wasn't until I entered the Mermaid Song that I realized that I could really make a big difference. What a beautiful thing it is for everyone to work together to do something. So I want to know if these things that make me happy are brought to me by the royal family, or if they are brought to me by the previous President Arrow. ”

After patiently listening to Cream's question, Ariel exhaled slightly, and after thinking carefully for a moment, she spoke—

"Indeed, I can't deny that the next development of the Mermaid Song will not be interfered with by the royal family. I'm the mistress of the second prince, and this title alone is enough for me to deal with a lot of trouble. ”

"Cream, I can't guarantee that the future royal family will really not interfere with the mermaid's song. Just like the Holy See and the Guild just now, there may be more people who want to take control of the Mermaid's Song and take command from me. ”

"But I'm not going to give up."

"The title of mistress of the second prince can bring me a lot of benefits, but while I reap the benefits, I will also try my best to keep all the costs to a minimum. I have some ideas...... But I'm sorry, but I can't share these thoughts with you or anyone here at this time. I can only assure you and everyone that my idea is definitely not to make the Mermaid Song a tentacle of royalty in Pelican Town, and there is really only one thing I want to do from the past to the present-"

"That's fairness."

Ariel's gaze moved away from Cream's body and swept over the other members around her—

"I'm a woman and I want to be fair. I was also born a slave, and I wanted justice even more. ”

"I won't do anything to harm everyone, if you have to pay the price, then I will definitely discuss with you and bear that price together, and I will bear the heaviest part."

"In the past, I always wanted to prove myself. But now, I want to prove something else. I don't know exactly what these things are, but I think it's probably something I've really wanted for a long time. ”

Then, the gaze returned to Cream's face. After a slight pause, Ariel continued—

"Cream, forgive me for still hiding my thoughts. Because even I wanted to figure out what I was thinking. I can't promise you anything, and I can't tell you right now what exactly we have to do to be fair. ”

"It's an uncertainty, and it's because of that uncertainty that I'm on the road that no one has ever walked before, that I want to keep going. I want to see what exactly is at the end of this path. ”

As she spoke, Ariel slowly stretched out her hand towards Cream and said—

"It's going to be a lot more difficult, so I need someone who can help me and help me. If I had you all around me when I set out on this path, I would have felt that I would have been able to go to the end of this path and see what the scenery was like on the other side of the road. ”

"In that case, Cream, are you still willing to ...... As a member of the Mermaid Song, continue to help me? ”

Cream lowered her head and looked at the baron's outstretched hand.

Then he looked up again and looked at the baron's blue eyes.

She didn't lie to herself.

Although these eyes are indeed a little strong, they are also full of doubts and hesitation. In the same way, there is a vague sense of uncertainty about the future.

This is definitely not a pair of eyes that believe that if you have your back to the royal family, you can be safe and worry-free, and you can easily make a lot of money. It's more like a look that is more cautious than before, frightened, like walking on thin ice, but wants to continue to move forward.

Looking at these eyes, Cream suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

The corners of his mouth cracked, and while laughing at himself, he also reached out and patted the president's hand.

"It's funny, our president doesn't know what we're going to do in the future."

At this point, Cream's face relaxed again, and he also smiled, crossed his hands on his hips, and said with a smile-

"In that case, we might as well just keep walking. President Ariel, first of all, what should we do? Planning a wedding gift? Or do you want to find a way to raise money? ”

Cream's reply made Ariel breathe a sigh of relief. At this point, all the members of Mermaid Song have all accepted themselves as presidents.

Ariel couldn't help but laugh, and then, just as she was about to say what she thought next, Coco suddenly ran down from the second floor, threw herself into Ariel's arms, and began to cry loudly.

Only this time she didn't run away, but more recklessly rubbed Ariel's maid dress with that face mixed with tears, snot and saliva.

At this moment, Ariel was more relieved, and the members on the side finally laughed now.

"President, what are we going to do next?"

In response to Cream's inquiry, Ariel smiled slightly, spoke, and spoke......

————

The Magical Society, now housed in a towering spire in the aristocratic quarter.

Although many people don't quite understand why those magicians like to build spires and live in them, they just like it. It is said that the towering minaret allows them to get more information about the surrounding situation.

However, who knows what the specific reason is.

Priest snorted at the spiral staircase inside the spire, tilting his mouth.

Led by a young magician, the High Priest of the Holy See walked slowly up the spiral staircase. After walking about five stories high, I opened the door next to it, and a meeting room appeared. And the Grand Elder of the Magic Association, Majik, was now standing at the door of the living room, looking at the visitor with an unhappy expression.

"What, I'm not welcome?"

Priest opened his hands and smiled, indicating that he didn't have any staff with him.

Madjik snorted, turned and walked into the living room, where he sat down on a couch. When Priest came in and sat down, a small cart slowly moved without anyone pushing it, and the teapot on top of it automatically hung up in the air, pouring a cup of tea and placing it in front of the high priest.

Priest glanced at the teacup and teapot and the cart, and couldn't help but laugh, and said, "Looks like you're still quite concerned." ”

Majik snorted and said, "But I don't use animal power, I can do this level of magic in a little thought about it in two days." But what about you? Do you have any thoughts on that pocket fire and elemental lamp? Or are you just waiting for that elemental machine to steal your business? ”

Priest took a sip of his teacup, the expression on his face looked so neat, and he said with a smile, "I believe Elder Majik must have already figured out what to do with these guys, right?" After all, the biggest attacker of what they've developed is your Magic Guild. It's just that we, the Holy See, are willing to play a helping role in helping you clean up these children who don't know what to do. ”

"Humph! If you want me to say, just destroy them! ”

After the door of the office was closed, Majik raised his hand and slapped the table heavily, his face was full of anger, and said-

"Of course your Highness wants to reform us, of course, there is no problem, but what is this reform? I don't think His Highness has taken our associations who have worked hard to maintain the Blue Bay Empire for hundreds of years in his eyes at all! Priest, don't tell me to be calm, it's easy to use magic to kill a civilian or two silently. What's more, that maid really doesn't have any magic powers, and she can't fight, so it's really easy to kill her! ”

Priest smiled and put down the teacup in his hand: "Of course I know that it is easy to take out an ordinary person who knows nothing. But now, she's no ordinary person. ”
