However, before leaving, she gave Su Yu something, and Su Yu glanced down and found that it was just a note with a string of short words written on it.

As a token of appreciation, when I leave the merfolk, I will give me a gift. ’

Su Yu destroyed the note, while pondering whether there was any other meaning in this short sentence.

The gratitude that Koyena wants to express is probably not only that Su Yu helped the mermaid clan, but also that she wants to thank Su Yu for her sincerity towards Lua in the past few days, as well as her behavior of protecting Luya many times.

That's what Koyena cares about the most.

As for the gift when leaving, Su Yu thinks that the gift is secondary, and the most important thing should be that Koyena will find a suitable opportunity to meet her and answer some questions for herself.

With Koyena's answer, Su Yu was completely relieved, she waited quietly for Luya, and when she appeared, she went to tonight's banquet with her.

……

Less than three days after Su Yu came to the Mermaid Clan, she had already participated in two banquets, the first was the Mermaid Clan's celebration banquet, and it was also to thank them for their help.

As for this time, it is also a celebration banquet, but the object of thanks has become the elves, so this can also be regarded as a welcome banquet for the elves.

Somewhat unexpectedly, the first person sitting at tonight's banquet was not the Mermaid King, nor the Great Elder, but the Great Prince.

It's not that the eldest prince can't attend this banquet, but no one could have imagined that the mermaid king would give up such a good opportunity to show his status.

As for the Great Elder not attending the banquet, although he seemed to have some disrespect for the elves who came from afar to help them, everyone knew the Great Elder's body, and Ainita specially brought the skilled Elder Bai Ko to visit the Great Elder for this reason, so no one would care about this matter.

"Yuzu! Are you curious why my father didn't come at night? With the news she had learned from the Fifth Elder, Luya mysteriously came to Su Yu's side.

"Well, I'd love to know." Su Yu with the opening.

Luya listened to her words, smiled with satisfaction, and did not continue to sell Guanzi.

"Speaking of which, I also want to thank the elf princess, the fifth elder said, it seems that it was because the elder beside her saw at a glance that something was wrong with her father, and then her father became suspicious of Mrs. Sang...... Now there's a lot of commotion inside, and he doesn't have time to come out and disturb us. ”

Because the favor is already full value, there is no taboo for Luya to speak in front of Su Yu, these words are completely said casually.

"So that's ......" Although he said that, Su Yu was a little skeptical about the authenticity of the matter.

However, this is not to say that Luya is lying, she suspects that the fifth elder has slightly concealed some not-so-honorable details.

For example, the Mermaid King 'likes' Lady Sang so much, and has liked it for so long, he definitely can't be suspicious of her because of a foreigner's words, even if this foreigner is an elder of the Elven Clan, so there must be something else going on in this, causing the Mermaid King to believe that Lady Sang has a problem.

And the leader of the fishmen who was caught before also confessed all their plans, including that Lady Sang is their person, and Lady Sang is actually the apprentice of the wizard who can use human spell puppets, so Lady Sang is also a wizard.

This also explains why the Mermaid King's behavior is unusual and weird, as he is actually controlled, but not completely.

Since the Mermaid King was once able to become the heir, his strength and means must not be weak, and the reason why he was bewitched by Mrs. Sang was mainly because he was a thief himself.

The Mermaid King did patrol the sea area as usual back then, but the news that he was out on patrol was also deliberately released by himself, and when the mermaid attacked, the Third Elder also sent someone to send him a message and asked him to come back immediately.

He received the message and had time to rush back, but he didn't.

Therefore, Koyena's death is indeed inseparable from the mermaid king, he is not the most direct murderer, but the mastermind behind it.

Because of this, after Koyena's death, when the five elders were suspicious, the Mermaid King would not be able to sleep at night, and every day as soon as he closed his eyes, he could see Koyena asking him why he had betrayed the merfolk clan.

And Mrs. Sang took advantage of the situation at this time.

She first used witchcraft to hint at the Mermaid King, then paralyzed the Mermaid King's nerves with a gentle and empathetic image, and finally when the Mermaid King thought she was in love with her, Lady Sang played a game and disappeared.

She did it for a reason.

When he was with the Mermaid King, Mrs. Sang found that the Mermaid King did have feelings for Koena, but he still preferred power to feelings, so he did not hesitate to betray Koyena for power.

Because he couldn't ask for it, because of guilt, Koena became the white moonlight and cinnabar mole in his heart, and the reason why Mrs. Sang disappeared was to imitate Koyena, and then use this to replace Koyena's status in the mermaid king's mind, and then make herself the white moonlight of the mermaid king.

This disappearance was several years, and the second meeting was the well-known version of the first meeting between the Mermaid King and Lady Sang - she was a poor mermaid tortured by her husband, and the Mermaid King brought her back because he felt sorry for her.

Among the many rumors that followed, one was indeed true, that is, the mermaid king did use Mrs. Sang as a stand-in.

In his eyes, Mrs. Sang was weak, and he could only know the sub-version of 'Koyena' attached to him, and he enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by Mrs. Sang.

He attached his guilt for Koyena to Mrs. Sang, a 'delicate flower' who needed to be protected, so that he couldn't listen to anyone say a bad word about Mrs. Sang.

It's a pity that what he doesn't know is that his seemingly innocent and weak little white flower is actually a gorgeous rose with poisonous thorns.

Among them, how great the contrast is, how much the mermaid king is stimulated, because he can't accept the destruction of the image of Mrs. Sang, the 'Koyena' who needs to be protected by himself.

But that's the truth of everything, so it doesn't matter if he accepts it or not.

……

This time the banquet went very smoothly, because the mermaid king was arguing with Mrs. Sang, so he naturally didn't have time to come, without him, this banquet seemed much smoother.

During the banquet, Ainita seemed to have the intention of coming to her, but after all, he was different from Luya, Luya was not the only princess, she moved more freely, but Ainita, as the leader of the elves this time, she definitely couldn't leave her seat easily.
