Chapter 229 The Mermaid Princess Who Turned into Foam 22
Yilin and Nilia exchanged glances, each thinking of a possibility: the vast cave, the swirling smoke...
"Oh? If there's a treasure in that cave, why doesn't the king send someone to check it out?"
The king smiled bitterly, "Our abilities are limited. As soon as we got there, we were choked by the thick smoke and couldn't breathe. We couldn't go deeper. I'm afraid only the Holy Son can go in."
"Okay, I'll accept this news. I won't pursue the prince's rudeness. I'll take my fiancée and leave first." Yilin had a perfect smile on his face, as if he never had a temper.
"Go slowly, Holy Son."
……
After sending Ilin away, the king sternly scolded Gerke, "Gerke, how could you be so reckless today? Do you know who you've provoked?"
"I know."
"You know you still do!"
"Father! Nilia is the girl who saved me that day. The moment I woke up from my coma, it was her face I saw. There is no mistake!"
"You don't repent." The king slapped Gerk on the head.
"Father..." Gerke covered his forehead with his hands, looking incredulous.
"How could you be so rude today? How dare you question the Holy Son like that?"
"Father, I just..." Gerke lowered his eyelids, looking aggrieved.
"Okay, father knows that you have your heart set on that woman and you even rejected the princess of a neighboring country for her. But that woman is already someone else's fiancée. It's time for you to wake up."
"But I..."
"Do you think a woman who can walk beside the Holy Son can be of a simple identity? No matter what, she can't be from our human race. You have to think about the kingdom."
After hearing the king's explanation, Gerke felt as if he had lost all his strength. "I understand, father..."
...The timeline goes back to when Gerk was rescued...
The unconscious Gerke was rescued by Nilia. He vaguely saw Nilia's face and remembered it deeply in his heart.
"Prince? Prince, wake up." The princess of the neighboring country called out to Gerk anxiously.
Gerk slowly opened his eyes, but the figure that came into view was not the one that had been deeply engraved in his mind.
"Who are you."
"Prince, I am a princess from a neighboring country. I saw you lying unconscious on the shore when I went to the seaside earlier, so I brought you back to the castle."
"Why did you faint on the beach?"
Gerke suddenly felt a headache and supported his head with one hand. "I remember falling into the sea before, and a girl rescued me."
"Prince..." The princess looked at the prince with concern, and the admiration in her eyes did not seem fake.
"You go out first, I want to be alone."
The princess was ordered to leave. She was stunned, her eyes slightly red, and she tried hard to hold back her sobs. "Okay, okay, I'll leave right away."
Gerke held his head in his hands, filled with pain. He murmured, "Hiss, this shouldn't be like this..."
……
"Prince, our engagement..." The princess carefully mentioned the fragile engagement.
Gerke frowned, as the two countries had previously agreed that he would marry the princess.
He had a slight affection for the princess before, but since he met Nilia, he completely gave up the idea of marrying the princess. To him, they were just two people who owed nothing to each other.
"Since you are worried about the engagement, I will go to my father to cancel the engagement later."
Hearing this, the princess's face turned pale. She pretended not to understand, "Gerke, what are you talking about?"
Gerke grew increasingly impatient. He raised his voice, "I'm breaking off the engagement with you. Do you understand?"
Tears gradually filled the princess's eyes. She choked slightly, her voice tinged with sobs. "Gerke, you know I don't mean that. I've always had a good impression of you. I... I've always liked you... I only mentioned the engagement because I wanted to be closer to you. Besides, I saved you before..."
"It was Miss Nilia who saved me, what does it have to do with you?" Gerk gave the princess a puzzled look.
"She saved you at sea, but she abandoned you on land. In the end, I brought you back to the castle for treatment." The princess spoke incoherently and was very emotional.
But when Gerke saw the princess like this, he felt that the woman in front of him was too aggressive and annoying. "Enough."
Gerk rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, and shouted loudly, and the princess stopped talking timidly.
