The boy hugged his knees tightly and sat in the corner with Meng Ruxue. He buried half of his head between his arms in grief and began to recount his past gradually.

"I grew up living in the ruins of the Kingdom of Kut, which is now known as the White Waves, the city of shells that sank ten years ago.

A statue of a mermaid has been erected in the center of Bailang City since a long, long time ago. The mermaid on that statue is very beautiful, but there is always a pair of melancholy eyes hidden under the beautiful appearance.

I was fascinated by the beauty and melancholy of the mermaid, and before I knew it, I had an infinite yearning for it. I look forward to the day when I can see the mermaid in this statue, and I look forward to the day when I can watch the ebb and flow of the sunset with him.

So I inquired about the mermaid, and finally learned some stories about the mermaid from the mouth of the ancestor. It turns out that the area where I live was once the ruins of the kingdom of Kut, and before the kingdom of Kut was submerged, a newly enthroned king of the kingdom of Kut was shipwrecked at sea when he was still a prince. The shipwreck made him fall in love with the mermaid, but his duties as the successor prince forced him to leave the mermaid.

He had promised that the mermaid would go back to her in half a year, but the heavens were not as good as people, and just when he planned to give up the throne to the virtuous royal brother after he succeeded to the throne, his royal brother suddenly fell ill and died. And he has become the last vestige of the royal family.

In order for the royal family to continue, in order to ensure that the kingdom does not collapse. He was not allowed to marry a princess from a neighboring country to continue his bloodline.

He had thought that if he could wait for the birth of a new little prince, he would be able to get rid of it all and return to the lonely island to meet the mermaid he had been dreaming of. But I never thought that after the birth of the little prince, there was an unprecedented riot in the country. He suppressed the riots for five years, and in the fifth year, he was assassinated by a mob and was on the verge of death.

When he was dying, he ordered a team of soldiers to search for the merfolk on the uninhabited island, but they returned in vain and found no trace of the merfolk.

So he ordered a statue of a mermaid to be carved and placed in the central garden, so that she could accompany him.

But what he didn't expect was that his series of actions would lead the merfolk to come over. They set up a terrible wave, engulfing his kingdom with the waves and accusing him of harming Aiya.

From the mouth of the mermaid tribe, King Kut, who learned that Aiya had turned into a stone statue, was embarrassed and blamed himself. They voluntarily implore them to turn themselves into a stone statue and fall forever in the sea, to be by Aya's side. ”

"I think the king you are talking about must have something to do with you, right?" Meng Ruxue asked.

"Yes, you're smart. He does have some kind of relationship with me. I have his blood in me. The boy said.
