Dressed as Mary Suwen's supporting actress

Chapter 43
Soon Stefan arrived at the edge of the cruise ship. The gray-blue dolphin unloaded the man and followed the red back of the mermaid away. A certain rescued prince was on the edge of the cruise ship staring obsessively at the place where the water and the sky meet. Such as the red back.

The cruise ship slowly docked at the pier, and the blond and blue-eyed Stefan got on the carriage back to the castle amidst the cheers of the crowd.

The encounter with the mysterious and beautiful red-eyed mermaid last night was like a dream.God took pity on him to search for a mermaid for many years without success, and specially sent him a sweet dream to comfort him.

Stefan, who returned to the castle, greeted the king and reported all the experience of the voyage in detail, but only concealed the matter about the mermaid.

Stefan, who was brought up under his knees, knew his father better than ordinary people. He was not an outstanding monarch or even a little stupid, but he had the same incomprehensible persistence in pursuing longevity as previous monarchs.

There are various versions of records about mermaids in many myths and stories circulating in Western Europe, the most convincing part of which is: eating mermaid meat can make you live forever.For this reason, the king sent him many times to search for it.Stefan has been curious about mysterious mermaids since he was a child, but all this is not for the so-called longevity.

If he told the king about the red-tailed mermaid he met during this voyage, the king would not only believe in the rumor that mermaid meat can live forever, but also would definitely send an army with heavy weapons to find it.At that time, let alone mermaids, even the sea will never have peace because of the king's greed.

Foreign countries were not interested in the anecdotes about the sea, and they were called away by Xinna's concubine before Stefan finished reporting.

Stefan, who had nothing to do, searched through the library of Wangcheng within a few days, only to find a book about the mermaid language - "The Encyclopedia of Mermaid Semantics".

The books looked like they had been forgotten in the library for a long time. When Stefan found them, they were covered with dust. Every page was yellowed and curled. There are also a lot of confetti stuck on it.

"This is not good—" Stefan carefully shook off the dust on the "Encyclopedia of Mermaid Semantics", and read the content on each page with great care.

According to the book: The language of mermaids is sound waves that cannot be heard by human ears. The languages ​​of mermaids in different regions are also different, and the meanings expressed by the length and fall of sound waves are also different.Not only that, but the above also describes the method of communication between humans and mermaids.The treasured Stefan spent almost all his time learning the mermaid language.

Until half a month later, Stefan once again followed the king's order to find the mermaid deep in the sea.

"Your Highness—" The soldiers who were inspecting the cruise ship stopped to greet Stefan when they saw Stefan passing by.

Stefan patted the soldier on the shoulder and signaled him to continue working, "Don't worry about me, I'm going around."

Stefan turned over with one hand and got off the cruise ship, thinking it was cool, he blew his hair messy in the wind.There is no one around the pier, unfortunately, no one appreciates it.Stefan didn't realize it, and walked slowly on the pier with one hand in his pocket humming an unknown tune.

The salty sea breeze was wrapped in the smell of fish, and Stefan couldn't help but think of the red-tailed mermaid he met in his last trip—it was impeccably beautiful.His Royal Highness, who claims to have grown up among beauties, can't help being attracted, and often looks forward to that warm red in his dreams.

"Gululu, Gululu—" the extremely small sound was especially abrupt on the side of the pier where there was only night.

Stefan immediately came back to his senses, stood still and listened carefully to the surrounding noises.Gululu's voice was very similar to that of a mermaid, which made His Royal Highness, who was already concerned about the blush, tense up.

Stefan didn't dare to move and stopped in place, his ears kept screening suspicious sounds around him.The sound of crabs walking on the beach, the sound of fish circling in the water, the sound of waves hitting the shore, and the sound of machinery from soldiers overhauling cruise ships in the distance, but there is no mermaid call that he wants to hear.

Stefan, who stood for a while, lowered his shoulders in a compromised manner, and classified the hallucination just now as an excessive longing for the red-tailed mermaid.

"Grumble-"

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-"

The familiar voice sounded here, and Stefan immediately cheered up, pricked up his ears, and searched for all the sounds of suspected mermaids into his ears.I ran all the way to find the direction where the sound came from, and finally stopped on an abandoned fishing boat where fishermen piled up sundries.

Fishing boats are tied to the pier and are piled high with fishing nets and steel forks.The red-tailed mermaid, which has been tugging at his heart for half a month, is moving the steel fork of the king crab commanding the boat.

The size of the king crab is quite big on the dining table, and it is also called the king in the ocean, but there are two large pincers slowly dragging the steel fork to it, which is ridiculous.

Fortunately, although Stefan was reluctant to take his eyes off the mermaid at this time, he stood still and watched without seeing, and boarded the fishing boat with a big stride.

The mermaid who was concentrating on it was taken aback by the sudden human prince, turned over and dived directly to the bottom of the sea, unable to come out.The same goes for the king crab. When they saw something was wrong, they threw down the steel fork and jumped into the sea and disappeared.

Stefan, unable to stabilize his figure on the swaying fishing boat, had to watch helplessly that the mermaid he was thinking of escaped.Annoyed, he sat on the fishing boat, kicked the fisherman's steel fork fiercely, and sulked lonely.

"It's all my fault, God, please give me another chance to meet that beautiful crimson mermaid Highness with different eyes—"

Stefan picked up the steel fork on the fishing boat, wondering why the beautiful Mermaid Highness wants this?Following the fishermen drifting on the sea all year round, the cold metal steel fork has been ground so sharply that it can easily penetrate the belly of a fish covered with hard scales without much effort.

"It's so dangerous!!!" Stefan wondered, "What does the beautiful Mermaid want such a sharp steel fork? You can't just learn how humans use steel forks to fish?"

Such an absurd idea was immediately denied by Stefan himself. Mermaids have sharp fingertips and sharp teeth, so they need to use steel forks to catch fish like humans.

I must have seen a human being fishing with a steel fork on a boat, and I was curious to play with it.This idea is obviously much more reliable than the previous one.

"Gululu, Gululu—"

The mermaid's cry sounded from a place farther away from Stefan, and the mermaid quietly revealed a crimson hair top. Among the facial features, only the eyes on the water surface were fixed on the steel fork in Stefan's hand.

"Beautiful Your Highness Mermaid!!!" Stefan couldn't help screaming, and the usually polite and polite Prince turned into a stunned young man who blushed when he met a girl he loved, "Are you back?"

Confusion: Did she recognize me?Is it because you recognized me that you didn't run away?
Thinking of this, Stefan became even more excited, and almost couldn't wait to go into the water to go to his beautiful mermaid highness.
