Above the Pirate King

What is the problem...

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Arthur's mind, carefully thinking about everything about Princess Otohime.

Otohime...mermaid...advocates coexistence with humans...

correct!

Coexist with humanity!

This is it!

Princess Otohime is a passionate mermaid who advocates peaceful coexistence with human beings, and she will always work hard for this in the future!

In that case...

Neptune's attitude before and the fact that Shark Star greeted him made sense!

Now Neptune has no good impression of humans because of the discrimination of humans in the past two hundred years, as well as pirates and slave hunters. Even if Arthur saved a mermaid, at most it would make his attitude less so. It's just bad.

Shark Star welcomed him not because of Neptune, but because of Princess Otaki, who asked him to meet Arthur!

The reason why Otohime asked Shark Star to welcome Arthur and looked at Arthur so earnestly was not because she wanted to seduce Neptune, but because Arthur was the first human king to visit the Dragon Palace Kingdom in two hundred years !

The opinion and help of a human king is very helpful for Otohime, who advocates coexistence with humans!

Thinking about it, Arthur was taken to the seat in front of the left front of the throne.

As soon as he was seated, Otohime couldn't wait to greet him, "Your Majesty Arthur, hello!"

"Hello!" Arthur responded with a smile.

"Your Majesty Arthur, I would like to take the liberty to ask some questions. Is it okay?" Otohime asked directly with expectant eyes, regardless of whether it was appropriate for the two parties to ask questions when they met for the first time.

"No problem, just ask if you have anything!" Arthur said grandly.

In fact, he already guessed what Otohime was going to ask next!

"Your Majesty Arthur, what do you think of mermaids and murlocs?" Otohime hesitated for a moment and asked.

Although she had many questions in her mind, she finally chose to ask this first.

"What do you think..." Arthur pondered for a moment, then said, "Personally, I don't have any opinion on mermaids and murlocs, just like I see other humans!"

Personally!

Otohime keenly grasped the key point in Arthur's words!

She is a little happy, but also a little lost!

The happy thing is that King Arthur treats mermaids and murlocs equally, but the sad thing is that Arthur is the only one who treats them equally!

After calming down, Otohime continued to ask questions.

"What is the attitude of humans towards mermaids and murlocs?"

"How are the mermaids and murlocs on land?"

"What is human life like?"

……

Questions came out of Otohime's mouth one after another.

Arthur thought about it, and answered one by one. During the period, he also slightly modified some darker places.

However, although Otohime is hot-blooded, she is not stupid, and she has a natural sense of domineering, and can hear people's inner voice, so when she listened to Arthur's embellished words, she probably understood what was going on after a little thought.

The more she listened, the more disappointed she became, and the face that had been wearing a gentle smile could not help showing a trace of pain.

Seeing this, Neptune, who was sitting by the side, quickly stroked Otohime's hair with his hands, comforting her silently.

After a long silence, Otohime slowly calmed down, she spoke again, and asked her most concerned and important question, "Then, King Arthur, do you think murlocs and humans can live together peacefully on land together?" on it?"

"Princess Otohime, do you want to hear the truth?" Arthur hesitated for a while and asked back.

"En!" Otohime sensed something wrong in Arthur's words, but still nodded.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Impossible!" Arthur said resolutely, "Don't say that murlocs and humans live together on land, even other races, even humans and humans cannot live peacefully on land together!"

"Ah!?" Otohime was a little puzzled.

"The reason is simple, profit! Profit is the most important thing in this world! Why do pirates and slave hunters catch mermaids? Because a mermaid can be sold for hundreds of millions in the outside world!"

"As for murlocs and humans who want to live together on land, the most important issue is profit!"

As he spoke, Arthur paused, changed his voice, and explained simply,

"In the simplest terms, a group of humans live on an island with limited food!"

"And when this group of humans finished eating the limited food on the island, they were just full and able to survive! At this moment, a group of murlocs and mermaids from outside suddenly wanted to live with them. Will humans accept them? Impossible !"

"Because accepting them means that these limited food that is just enough to eat will become insatiable, and even starve to death! So, at this time, let alone murlocs, even other races, even humans, This group of people will not let them go to the island!"

Arthur's words sound realistic and bloody, but they are actually very euphemistic!

At least he put the murlocs and humans on an equal footing!
