The strongest prince in the fairy tale world

Chapter 171 Pinocchio Mermaid Princess
The next day, Jasmine yawned and found that Ize was sleeping soundly hugging her waist. His upper body was bare, with smooth and well-defined muscles on his body.

She couldn't help turning her head and kissing Ize lightly.

Ize closed his eyes and muttered, "I don't have to go to the morning meeting today."

Jasmine smiled, and gently stroked Ize's sharp-edged cheeks with her index finger.

"Don't make trouble, Jasmine, sleep a little longer!" Ize swayed his head into Jasmine's neck a few times, with a coquettish tone in his tone.

So Jasmine patted Ize's head, and said softly, "Okay, let's sleep for a while."

……

After being tired for a while in the morning, the two of them took a shower together again. When Ize was drying Jasmine's hair, Jasmine suddenly asked:
"You didn't answer me last night?"

"What?" Ize didn't know what Jasmine was asking.

Jasmine turned her head and said with a smile, "I was the one who asked you last night, when did you fall in love with me."

Ize raised his head and thought for a while, while continuing to rub Jasmine's hair, he said:

"Then I told you not to be angry."

"How could I be angry because of this kind of thing?" Jasmine said.

Ize looked at Jasmine with crooked eyebrows, and said:
"Okay, since you want to know so much, then I'll tell you, do you still remember that you took our boat to go to Dragon Island, but you didn't bring any food, and you took my food every day?"

"That's not called rubbing, it's not that I eat and drink for nothing, I even caught a lot of sea fish for you!" Jasmine corrected.

"Listen to me first, do you still remember the time when I cooked a pot of very hot red soup on the boat?" Ize asked with a smile.

"Remember, you said that it's called hot pot, and it's really delicious, but does it have anything to do with when you fell in love with me?" Jasmine was puzzled.

Ize smiled and continued: "You will know after listening to me. At that time, I asked Charlie to put a lot of ham slices, meatballs and squid whiskers you caught in the hot pot, and cooked a big pot full. You like it very much, even though you said it was very spicy, you ate three-quarters of that pot by yourself, and you even drank the soup in the end, remember?"

"Remember, you won't fall in love with me because of how much I eat, will you?" Jasmine said.

Ize shook his head, "When you finished eating hot pot that day, the stamina of the chili came up, and your mouth was so hot that it turned red, and your lips were like a monkey's butt. Charlie and I were laughing, you asked us why we laughed , Charlie gave you a mirror.

After you saw yourself in the mirror, you couldn't help laughing and turned backwards, regardless of your own image. It was your presumptuous and unscrupulous smile that moved me. I found that you are a particularly optimistic person. Bright and positive girl, it was at that time that I began to have a heart-wrenching feeling for you. "

Jasmine recalled it for a long time, and recalled how she looked that day, and said a little annoyed: "What, this kind of situation is not romantic at all!"

Ize gently kissed Jasmine's wet head, and said:

"You just said you won't be angry."

"I'm not angry, I just feel that this situation is not romantic at all." Jasmine muttered.

"Then tell me, when did you fall in love with me?" Ize sat down and looked at Jasmine with great interest.

Jasmine's face flushed slightly, and she hesitated to speak, which was a little different from her usual carefree personality.

"I... I... Forget it, it's time to have breakfast!" Jasmine hesitated, and ran out of the bedroom quickly without combing her hair after speaking.

"Hey! What's so embarrassing, we are husband and wife now!" Ize said with a smile.

……

Next, Ize took Jasmine and Cinderella to several famous scenic spots in Cabel Kingdom for a while, as compensation for their honeymoon.

Queen Snow White did not go with her because she was too busy with state governance.

The system of the Norman Empire is different from that of the Cabel Kingdom. It does not have a cabinet mechanism that can maintain the normal operation of the country like Ize, so many things need to be resolved by Bai Xue himself.

You can't be a hand-off shopkeeper like Yi Ze, and the country is still running in an orderly manner.

In the first year of the implementation of the Ize New Deal, the Cabel Kingdom ushered in the largest harvest year in the world, and the quality and quantity of agricultural products ranked first in all previous years.

Since there is no exploitation at the level of farmers and nobles, the taxes received by the treasury and the money earned by the common people have all risen to a higher level.

Farming civilians account for close to 70% of the total population. Therefore, Yize's new policy and land reform have fundamentally stabilized the national system and greatly improved the happiness of the majority of civilians.

The national strength of the Cabel Kingdom is also growing day by day. Queen Snow White often writes letters to Yi Ze, and she obviously wants to follow Yi Ze's example in reforming the land.

But she failed to fully control the army. At the same time, the Norman Empire had a larger population and area, and local forces were intertwined. Even some military forces had vested interests.

Therefore, Snow White has never found a way to implement land reform.

And the economy of the Cabel Kingdom is getting better day by day, and the researchers in the Cabell Academy have also gained a lot of research results.

The discovery of microorganisms, the law of heredity of animals and plants, the invention of optical telescopes, the laws of magnetoelectric phenomena, the improvement of steam vehicles...

With the strong financial support of Ize, these talented researchers developed very fast.

Cabel Kingdom became the most technologically advanced country in the world at that time.

Eze knows that now is the process of quantitative change, and when qualitative change is induced, the productivity of the industrial revolution will explode.

……

The development of the Cabel Kingdom is going well, and Ize has a cabinet to handle government affairs, and he is not as busy as other kings.

In April of the following year, Ize suddenly remembered his agreement with the mermaid princess.

This year is the last year he promised the mermaid princess Nina. If he can't lure Emperor Lauren of the Mesore Empire to the sea this month and let Princess Nina take revenge in person, then he will break the promise.

Thinking of this, Izzy decided to go to the sea himself, and find a way to trick Lauren to come to the Mediterranean Sea.

This is not a difficult problem for Izzy now.

The explosives of the Cabel Kingdom are well-known, and many countries want to come to the Cabel Kingdom to purchase explosives and go back.

However, as an armament material, the explosives of the Cabel Kingdom will not flow into the market at all.

It is very difficult for other countries to buy one and go back to study the way of making explosives.

Even if you buy explosives, you may not know the specific ingredients and proportions.

Therefore, relatively speaking, explosives technology belongs to the monopoly technology of the Cabel Kingdom and is currently the most powerful weapon for self-protection.

This made all other countries very envious, so Ize planned to use the reason of selling explosives to the Mesore Empire for a long time to get Lauren to come to sea to sign the contract.

I believe that when Lauren heard that a large amount of explosives would be sold, she would be very moved, and rushed to discuss with Ize.

After all, the current explosives are still a seller's market. There are too many small countries that want to buy explosives to go back to protect their territory, and the supply is completely in short supply.

Of course, Yize is still expanding the production line of gunpowder. For those explosives with low power and low production cost, there are gradually several types of explosives that can be exported to countries all over the world.

Exchange explosives for a large amount of economic growth and feed back industry and agriculture.

At the same time, Yize also restricted the export of high-quality, super-powerful explosives. The Cabel Kingdom needs to use higher-level explosives to create a technological advantage.

Izzy brought Jasmine and Cinderella to Cannon City, the largest port city in the Norman Empire.

Izzy has already sent an envoy to the Mesor Empire first, asking him to convey his intentions.

He asked the guards to wait by the port first, and took the two princesses to the home of his old friend Pinocchio.

When Ize and the others arrived, Pinocchio was practicing swordsmanship in the open space in front of his house.

He was so absorbed in practicing his sword that he didn't notice Yize and the others coming.

After Pinocchio finished practicing a set of sword skills, Ize stood at the door and applauded.

"Very good, Pinocchio, your swordsmanship has improved again. Raymond will be very happy when he finds out."

Hearing Ize's voice, Pinocchio looked towards the door in surprise.

"Prince Ize!" Pinocchio shouted in surprise, and then realized his slip of the tongue, "No, King Ize, why are you here?!"

After Ize became the new king of the Cabel Kingdom, most commoners in the entire Nordic continent knew about it. After all, there had been a lot of gossip about their Cabel family some time ago.

"I'm going to the sea, and I thought I'd drop by to see you." Eze said with a smile.

Pinocchio was a little moved that King Yize had such a high status that he still remembered him.

"I didn't expect you to come to visit me specially. Thank you for remembering me."

"Of course I remember, we are friends, without you, we would not have been able to go to Mesore Empire and Dragon Island." Ize said relaxedly.

Pinocchio once sailed a boat for himself at the risk of his life. If he turned around and forgot when he was done, Ize would not be so ruthless.

"Come in and have a seat." Pinocchio warmly invited, "I'm sorry, the house is a bit messy."

Ize said: "This is Cinderella, my second princess. I don't need to introduce Jasmine, she is now my third princess."

Pinocchio bowed and saluted: "Hello, two princesses."

Jasmine smiled and said, "Pinocchio, your skills are improving very fast, do you want to practice with me when you have time?"

Pinocchio waved his hand quickly: "No...no need, I'm not your opponent at all."

He knew that Jasmine's strength in hand-to-hand combat was far higher than that of her wizard, and Pinocchio was only a two-star knight, so he couldn't beat her at all.

Jasmine laughed: "It seems that you are still as timid as before."

"Yes, I am the most timid," said Pinocchio.

Before Jasmine was bored on the boat, she would often compete with Pinocchio in fighting skills, and every time after the sparring, Pinocchio felt pain all over her body.Now no matter how Jasmine provoked him, he would not be fooled anymore.

"By the way, how is your grandfather doing now?" Ize asked.

Pinocchio's eyes darkened instantly, and he said after a while:
"He passed away NO.12 last month."

Everyone put away their smiling faces, and Yize comforted him:

"People are born, old, sick and die, don't be sad."

"That's right, Pinocchio, your grandfather must also hope that you can be happy every day." Jasmine also said.

"Well, I know, without those expensive medicines, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to survive last year." Pinocchio said.

"Do you want to go to Cabel Kingdom with me next time? Charlie and your master Raymond should miss you very much."

"Okay, I'm willing to follow King Eze. By the way, Your Majesty, why didn't Charlie come with you?"

Yize said: "Charlie has to take care of my little sister to study, so I didn't let him come. Anyway, I won't be out for too long this time."

The younger sister Ize mentioned was Annie. Annie is currently full of magic and cultural courses. Even if she wanted to come out to play, Ize would not allow it.

"Oh, are you going to sea this time because of Princess Nina?" Pinocchio and Izzo have experienced the "Siren" Nina together, and he knows that April this year is the deadline for Izawa's promise .

Eze nodded: "Well, this time I came here just for this matter."

Pinocchio thought: His Majesty Yi Ze really pays attention to what he said, he is a responsible king.

"Then go to sea in my boat," said Pinocchio.

Ize nodded in agreement, and soon, the group set out to sea in Pinocchio's boat.

The remaining more than 100 elite guards took another larger boat.

It is now April, which is the time when the legendary sea monster comes out, so there are no ships at all on the sea.

Seven days after Pinocchio took the helm, they came to the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, where they met Nina last time.

Izzy uses water magic to transmit his voice to the bottom of the sea:

"Nina, I'm coming... I'm coming..."

Soon, a pile of white foam in the cabin of a mottled old ship on the sand on the bottom of the sea began to become alive after hearing the sound.

Nina was excited and happy. She remembered the voice. She did not wait to come to Ize last April, but she kept her promise and did not continue to harm people at sea.

This April is the deadline they agreed upon, and if Izzy cheats her, she will do evil at sea again.

Fortunately, this time, Yi Ze arrived as scheduled.

The ball of white foam slowly floated towards the surface of the water with the ghost ship.

Cinderella was standing on the deck, admiring the boundless blue sea, when suddenly a very old ship slowly surfaced in front of her.This really startled her.

"Yize, a ship suddenly appeared here!" Cinderella shouted in a panic.

Everyone heard the sound and looked over there, and sure enough, the ghost ship appeared again.

This means that Nina, the mermaid princess, is also here.

Eze smiled and walked to Cinderella's side:

"Don't worry, this is the Princess Nina we just talked about."

Cinderella retreated to the other side of the deck, trying to stay as far away from that weird ship as possible.

Ize waved at the ghost ship, "Hi! Princess Nina, long time no see."

Just as Ize finished speaking, a ball of white foam flew out of the cabin of the ghost ship.

It fell to Ize's feet, and then the foam turned into a human form.

"Prince Ize, I knew you would definitely come back." Nina the bubble man said.
