Chapter XVIII
Saying goodbye to Catherine, Sawan dragged the dead shark all the way to his lair, and he couldn't hear the other dragons greeting him on the way. Sneaking into his own nest, fortunately there was no one else at home, saving Sawin the trouble of being interrogated.
Sawan tore open the belly of the dead shark and let Olya crawl out of it, Olya vomited as soon as she got out of the belly of the shark, and the strong fishy smell in the shark's stomach almost smoked this delicate woman to death, although she was the princess's maid, but Olya was also a noble daughter, and she had been wronged like this when she was so big. Seeing her pitiful appearance, Sawin was also a little unbearable, and kept saying comfort, which finally didn't make her cry.
Sawan hid Olya in his cave, knowing that the family would not normally come in, and then tossed the dead shark and turned into his den.
Now that Sawan has successfully brought Olya into the dragon's lair, the next step is to find an opportunity to talk to his father about this matter, Sawin is very worried that his father will not meet with the mermaid king in private, this is an important diplomatic event after all, the impact can be big or small, his father has always been cautious, if he refuses to meet with the mermaid king, his own affairs will be ruined.
Sawin thought to himself, "The best way to convince my father is to find out what the mermaid king is for, and now all I can do is find a way to find out more about Olya." ”
After studying human culture with Osiris, Sawan has learned what it means to be tactful, some things are asked directly, others may not be willing to say, but if you use a more tactful method, you may have a good harvest, in this regard, Sawan is not like an ordinary dragon at all. The way for ordinary dragons to ask others about things is usually to the point, if the other party answers truthfully, it is fine, if the other party refuses to answer, then the dragon will ask again, but the voice will immediately increase several times, and the inquiry will immediately turn into intimidation and threats.
Sawin first took out his collection and invited Olya to admire, as the maid of the mermaid princess, Olya was naturally very familiar with these rare treasures, and the pile of things that Sawin took out was really difficult to get into her eyes. However, Olya's cultivation does not allow her to say rude words, not to mention that now that she is in other people's acres and thirds of land, she can only praise her. The two of them chatted about each other, and unconsciously talked about the mermaid king. Olya's heart is very simple, and she is not aware of Sawin's intentions at all, and her casual words suddenly make Sawin aware of some unusual information.
"Some time ago, the emperor's envoy and the envoy of the mermaid clan came to visit our king together, and there was a super grand ball, and I heard that the mermaid clan intends to marry the mermaid clan, and the prince of the mermaid clan intends to propose marriage to ......the king," said Olya.
"Shark Dragon Clan?" The name immediately caught Savan's attention, why did the Shark Dragon Clan suddenly visit the Mermaid King, did there was any secret agreement between the two sides. Sawan knew that the Shark Dragons had far more dealings with the Mermaids than with the Dragons, but after the Shark Dragons visited the Mermaid King, the king asked him to bring a message to his father and wanted to meet in private, was there anything to do with this?
The more Sawin thought about it, the more he felt that this was very likely, and coupled with the fact that the Shark Dragon Clan wanted to marry the Mermaid Clan, it seemed that the Shark Dragon Clan was likely to form an alliance with the Mermaid Clan, and if they formed an alliance, the purpose would only be to deal with the Dragon Clan. With the strength of the Shark Dragon Clan and the Mermaid Clan, the only one who needs them to join forces to deal with is the Dragon Clan, Sawan can't help but feel a chill when he thinks of this, it seems that this matter is far more serious than he imagined.
"Father, I have a question I would like to ask, can I come to your study and talk about it? When Savan's father returned, he couldn't wait to make a request.
Kaysved looked at Sawan up and down, and said in his heart, "What's wrong with this kid today, he has suddenly become so polite, there must be something asking me." ”
"Okay, follow me. Kaysved nodded and said, although he knew in his heart that something must be wrong with his son, he had to hear it to know.
Father and son entered the study, where Kaysved thought, and no one else was allowed to enter without his permission. The so-called study is actually a cave, where in addition to some ancient foundations, there are also a lot of furnishings, most of which are from the human world. Compared to Osiris's love of human culture, Kaisved is more traditional, and although he also has some knowledge of human culture, it is far from the extent of Osiris, as can be seen from the furnishings of his study. Although there are many human objects in Kaisved's study, even the tables and chairs are not modeled after humans like Osiris, and Kaisved's study still follows the dragon tradition of sitting on the floor.
"Tell me, what's the trouble you're getting into again?" asked Kaysved as he sat down.
Sawan hesitated for a long time before he squeezed out a sentence: "Actually, this time the trouble is really not small." ”
Kaysved chuckled in his heart when he heard this, but on the surface he still tried to maintain his calmness, and sighed softly: "When will you grow up, okay, don't be afraid of even if it's a big trouble, we are dragons." Tell me, what's the matter? ”
Sawan told him about his meeting with the Mermaid King, and when he finished speaking, he lowered his head and looked up at his father with his eyes. Kaysved never dreamed that the trouble that Savin was talking about would be this, the matter was so relevant that he was speechless for a while.
Sawin secretly observed his father's expression, and after watching it for a long time, he couldn't guess his father's joy and anger, and his heart felt even more uneasy. Sawin had even thought in his heart that if his father forbade him to associate with the merfolk tribe, he would have to run away from home, and if he ran away from home, he might be able to go to the human world......
"Okay, I know about this, you go first. Just as Savin's thoughts were wandering, his father suddenly spoke.
"Yes. Sawan agreed and slowly retreated outside the study, but when he was about to leave the study, he couldn't help but ask, "What about the meeting......
Kaysved's face sank and said, "I will naturally decide this matter, so you don't need to ask more, wait for the result." ”
"However, I still have to give an answer to the other party, and Olya is still waiting. Sawan said.
"Who is Olya, and where are you waiting?" asked Kaisvid, puzzled.
"Right here, she's been sent by the Mermaid King to deliver the message. Sawan replied.
"What!" Kaisved couldn't hold his breath anymore and raised his voice and asked, "You mean there's a mermaid in my house right now?"
Sawin nodded heartlessly and said, "yes, she's in my room, do you want to see her?"
Before Sam could finish speaking, something slammed into his face, and Samin instinctively flashed, almost missing out on the face.
"Get out!" Kaysved let out a loud roar that sent a shudder through the cavern.
Sawen flew back to his nest with a puff of smoke, only to see that Olya turned pale with fright from the roar just now, and trembled involuntarily, the roar of the dragon clan was too terrible for a merfolk.
Sawin sighed, then comforted Olya in a gentle voice, and Sawin said to himself, "Little mermaid, how do you know my difficulties, you can still go back to your own home, I may have to run away from home and wander everywhere." ”
"Get out of here!" the mother's voice rang out, and it was not far from Savin's cave. When Savin heard this, he said that he couldn't let his mother find out about Olya again, or he wouldn't want to stop. He hurriedly swam towards the entrance of the cave, and blocked the entrance behind him before his mother could break in.
"What are you in trouble again, you see your father is angry!" said the mother.
"I didn't ...... Didn't cause any trouble. Sawin cheekily denied.
"No, if you didn't cause trouble, why did your father get so angry, you should quickly and honestly explain. Mother said as she pressed closer to Savan.
Sawin said in a bit of a panic, "Really...... It's okay, it's just a discussion...... Discuss...... Discussion ......"
"What are you discussing?" asked the mother, looking into Savan's eyes. Then the mother seemed to have found something, and said to herself, "What does this smell like? What's in your room?"
"It's shark, shark smell. ”
"No, it's not the smell of sharks, I threw the dead shark out. Mother said alertly, as a pair of eyes tried to look past Savin into the cave.
"It's really sharks, I've eaten a lot, so it tastes like it......" Samin continued to lie.
"Get out of the way! I'll take a look at your room!"
"Mother, no, you can't go in!"
Just as the mother and son were pulling, Kaysved came out of the study, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay, don't make trouble, come to my study." ”
"Oh......" the mother and son agreed at the same time.
"By the way, bring that mermaid as well. Kaysved replied.
"What!" the mermaid ......," the mother exclaimed, looking at Savan.
