Chapter 86: If Your Appearance Changes, Will You Recognize Me?
In the splendid shell castle, in order to allow the mermaid to live comfortably, it has been made countless waterways in all directions to connect each room, and each room has a pool to connect with the waterway.
The mermaid cheered in surprise, and after a while, she rushed to the top of the castle from the ladder under the underground seabed, and spread her arms on the dome of the castle to make an appearance to the fish on the surface of the sea.
In a few moments, she opened the movable windows of the shells from the sides of countless rooms, poked her head out of the windows, and played hide and seek with the fish.
After a while she popped her head out of the pool on the balcony again, and secretly threw the prince with her fishtail before he could react.
Or suddenly leap up from the pool in a circle and hug the prince, and then rush to the top of the castle and jump down again, swooping down with splashes and laughter.
Sometimes she would suddenly emerge from the large pool of the room and drag the prince who was depicting a mermaid on canvas into the water.
When the prince fell into the pool, he was always full of pampering in embarrassment, and he allowed the mermaid to pile strange things such as seaweed and crabs on top of his head, and there was more sweetness in his smile than helplessness.
……
"Prince, this is a wonderful place, can we live like this forever?" Tang Fei soaked half of the fishtail in the pool of the room, half of his body was lying on the fluffy carpet, his chin was supported with both hands, and he asked innocently.
"Yes, this is our castle, our own world." The prince knelt down affectionately and gently took her hand.
"Prince, have you heard the story of mermaid tears?" Tang Fei looked up at the handsome prince and thought of a dowry that kept prompting in his heart.
"Legend has it that all pearls are the tears of mermaids, and shells are the objects that carry their tears."
"Mermaids don't usually shed tears." Tang Fei's mind reappeared with knowledge that she didn't have before.
"They only have once in their lives a chance to commemorate the most memorable event with a single tear, and the pearl that tears turn into has the magic of emotions, and it can bring many incredible magical applications to wizards.
Tears turn into blue pearls when remembering sorrow, and red pearls are left behind when remembering joy. The pearls of other colors are gifts from Mother Ocean to the shells, and not every one of them is the tears of a mermaid. ”
The prince took Tang Fei in his arms: "I pray that at our wedding, I can have a red pearl. ”
"There will be." Tang Fei leaned his head on the prince's shoulder, listened to his heartbeat, and felt his body temperature: "I will cry happily on such a beautiful day." ”
Three months have passed, and it is another good day full of red clouds, and it is the time when a beautiful sunset sinks.
A flock of ships sailed on the red and blue sea, their sails towering, the sailors roaring, the ships connected to each other, and the seagulls in the sky looked down on them, like a long snake winding in the sea, and it took a long time to reach the end.
Two men came down from the flotilla, and they came to the castle in a small boat, and a knight with a red beard and armor saluted at the bow of the ship and said: "Your Royal Highness, I am an envoy sent by His Majesty the King to discuss with you about your wedding to the Princess. ”
The prince did not return to the kingdom for a long time and asked the king to marry, and after a year the king finally sent a messenger.
"We'll be married soon." The prince in the castle cherished the back of Tang Fei's hand and kissed it gently: "You will become my princess." ”
Tang Fei felt like a fire on the back of his hand, and the hot heat spread all over his body from the back of his hand: "I'm looking forward to that day, Prince." ”
Another wizard who entered the castle with the knight wrapped himself in a large black robe.
Tang Fei received them with the prince, and in the central hall of the castle, there was a throne of water with a constant flow of water, and a wide pool in the center, and the guests could only sit on a small piece of 'land' by the pool, and the fish of the ocean jumped out of the water curiously to watch the wizards and knights.
It's completely different from the fear of humans a year ago.
"Your Royal Highness, the conclusion of your marriage contract is sacred, and Your Majesty has agreed to your request after consideration." Redbeard's figure was burly, his voice was rough, and after saying this, he looked at the mermaid: "But there is one condition, Her Royal Highness the Princess's unique identity cannot be known to the subjects." ”
Tang Fei was panicked by Redbeard's eyes, and he couldn't let his subjects know, why?
The prince saw Tang Fei's uneasiness, he smiled at her, grabbed her hand, and held it tightly: "Her identity is my wife, and she is not different. If Your Majesty insists, I can only have a wedding here and never leave. ”
"What a young prince." The black-robed wizard suddenly let out a strange laugh, and only a somewhat purple lip appeared in the black robe where he couldn't see his face clearly, and his mouth closed one by one: "You need some experience to enrich your shallow life experience. ”
The prince furrowed his brows, very dissatisfied with the sorcerer's rudeness.
The wizard ignored the prince's emotions and threw out a few questions that silenced the prince.
"Do you know how many years longer the life span of a mermaid genealogy than a human being? Perhaps when you get old, mermaids are not yet at maturity. ”
"Have you ever thought that you will lose offspring, and Miss Mermaid will never be able to unite with you to have an heir?"
"You have exiled yourself here, you have abandoned your territory, your people, who have been displaced and deprived of your protection, prince, and will become the lowest level of enslavement for others."
"And the families of the knights who owe your allegiance are about to be shattered, they will lose their nobility, and generations of hard work will be in vain."
"I have the best of both worlds, would you like to hear it?"
The prince's eyebrows bulged, he looked at Tang Fei, Tang Fei noticed the prince's embarrassment, she also frowned, the prince's emotions were attracting her, and she felt his reluctance.
Prince......
They are complex and different from us.
Tang Fei seemed to be able to understand her grandmother's thoughts a little when she said this.
"If I can, please allow me to consult privately with Miss Mermaid." When the wizard saw that the prince did not speak, he threw his idea at the mermaid's head.
"No need."
"Let me hear it."
The prince and Tang Fei spoke at the same time, but the two had different opinions, and the prince looked at the mermaid in surprise.
Tang Fei got down on the water seat on the high platform and said with determination: "I want to listen, I want to let myself do something for you, I hate to see a little unpleasantness on your handsome face." ”
If human beings are really complicated, then I can learn to understand that maybe love is more than endless sweetness.
"Don't force it, I don't want any sadness on your face." The prince's voice was still so gentle, but he was obviously worried, and Tang Fei lightly touched it in his palm: "No, I'm very happy to be able to do something for you." ”
……
In the private secret room, the wizard placed a bottle of potion on the table: "Miss Mermaid, if you become a normal human, you can achieve it by swallowing this potion."
In the first five years you will lose your beautiful face and unparalleled voice temporarily, and in five years if the prince recognizes you, you will regain your appearance and voice and become a real human, if he cannot recognize you, you will revert to the body of a mermaid and forget all this memory.
This is the only chance to become the princess of the prince in the open, Miss Mermaid, you must know how to choose. ”
……
The knight and the wizard left, and they agreed to come back in five years.
The mermaid remembered the potion given to her by the sorcerer, and although she had made up her mind, she had some worries, and she asked the prince, "Prince, if I had not my present face and voice, would you still recognize me?" ”
"I will never forget your breath for the rest of my life, and I can recognize you as you become." The prince smiled confidently: "From the first time I saw you, my intuition told me that you would be my wife, it was accurate, and it never failed.
We will definitely become husband and wife, and no matter what happens, you don't have to worry. ”
