good night my mermaid princess

Chapter 5 5 Fragments of the past

Surrounded by darkness, in the narrow dark room, Su sat on the cold floor with his knees hugged, feeling very hopeless.

During this period, she couldn't hear any sound, so the door to the darkroom should be thick and well sealed.Based on this, it is impossible for him to transmit his voice to the outside, no matter how loudly he calls for help, it is futile.

The only thing she could do was to touch the cross on her chest and pray that God would help her expel the fear in her heart.

"Crackling" a ray of light came through.

The door was slammed open.

Behind the comer was a huge light. Due to the backlight, his face was not clearly visible, but judging from the figure outlined by the shadow, he must be a male mermaid.

"Tsk, Grandma Anxi really knows how to hide. If it wasn't for the fact that the arresting guards happened to have my eyeliner, I really couldn't find it."

He walked over and squatted down, his face was clear in Su's eyes, he was a mermaid about the same age as Sea King, but his ferocious feeling made people have a bad impression of him, much worse than the elegant and decent Sea King.

He squeezed Su's chin very hard: "Evil human, let me finish you."

Su struggled to push him away, his eyes were filled with disgust and hostility, which made her very scared.

"I will not let the tragedy of Fei Sili happen again, absolutely not."

The sound of the dagger being unsheathed made the entire dark room tremble, and a silver light shone into Su's eyes.

Su's nerves picked up.

The body moves naturally, and her reaction is faster than ordinary people's experience of being on the boat.

"Hey." The merman was quite surprised by her escape, but the smile on his lips obviously didn't care.

Su covered his shoulders, not daring to be careless at all.

The atmosphere was full of murderous intent and frightening, Su relied on his instinct to avoid the killing in the blink of an eye.But she was still stabbed in the shoulder by a short knife, and in the small secret room, there would only be one final ending, she was cornered and killed.

"Humph."

Another blow, still missed where it wanted to hit, the merman was very upset.

Su's back was already pressed against the wall, feeling the bone-chilling coldness, she no longer had any hope of escaping from the next blow.

A thrusting action without hesitation, the merman doesn't like to waste time.

Death seemed to be doomed, but Su's eyes lit up.

The merman's short knife fell off unexpectedly, and his wrist seemed to be hit by something.

Then Su was dragged away, and the metal sound of close combat echoed in the secret room.

"Who!!!" the merman roared.

"Duke Boya, you are exceeding your authority. You need to ask your grandmother first when you come here." Sturgeon guard said while blocking Duke Boya's fierce attack.

Su's eyes couldn't adapt to the light immediately, and his eyes were blank, and he heard a female voice say:

"Come with me."

Su felt his arm being pulled up.

"It's useful to ask for instructions?! Wasn't it because of her indecision back then that Faisili would have become like that!!"

Sturgeon guards of the same force can't beat Boya, you must know that anger will make people desperately desperate.

"Get out of here!"

Boya kicked the sturgeon away and chased it out.

Su's eyes gradually recovered, and it was Ariel who was pulling her. Her extremely anxious expression made Su feel warm in his heart.

Swimming against the clock.

Although there is no resistance, the swimming mermaid still has the advantage in the water.At a time when this distance is life, Su wished he could grow a tail immediately.

The distance was shortened little by little, Ariel was only 14 years old, how could she swim past the grown-up Boya, not to mention dragging Su, a drag bottle.

Boya stood in front of them angrily.

"Uncle Boya, don't." Ariel hurriedly stood in front of Su.

"Ariel, get out of the way!"

Ariel shook her head stubbornly.

Boya was going crazy looking at this face that was almost exactly the same as Fei Sili, this was not a reason to convince him, it would make him even more angry, he tore Ariel away, and his murderous intent reached its peak .

With a sound of "咻", Boya's arm hurt, and an arrow shot straight from behind.He turned his head, it was Grandma Anxi.

"Bo Ya, stop it!"

Boya used his other hand to draw out another small knife that he carried with him, without any intention of stopping.

Another arrow.

Boya gritted his teeth, the pain would probably destroy both arms.

He laughed until his eyes turned red: "Last time it was you, this time it's you. I can't marry her, I can't save her, I can't even protect her family, it's all because of you!"

"Shut up, Ariel is still here!" Grandma held back her trembling, and said to the guard next to her, "Tie him away and send him to Dr. Simon. Then inform the king of the sea and tell him to give me come over!"

……

Ariel had never seen her father trained to such an extent.

Grandma never lost her temper like this.

My father kept apologizing, but was never forgiven.

But it shouldn't matter. Grandma just looks fierce, but her heart is actually very soft, and she doesn't want to blame anyone more.And my father will not have any resentment. My father loves my grandmother so much that he never dares to disobey her. He often takes her out for a walk. In private, the fish servants call her Oedipus...

Ariel's eyes turned slightly, and moved to the place where Boya stood before.

Uncle Boya tonight is like she has never seen before. Although he is usually a little cloudy, he has never lost his temper with himself. It was terrible.

Ariel knew that there must be something she didn't know, she was a little discouraged, they all kept it from her, kept tight-lipped, always said happy things, but obviously there were not only happy things... They all treated her as a child , unwilling to share.

If the mother was alive, would she do the same?Would she tell herself everything, and would she feel it was the right kind of affection?

But... this is a meaningless question.Ariel found that while she was wondering, she was a little more unfamiliar with the word mother than before.

Of course, this is not her fault.It's only strange that when Neptune talked about her mother to Ariel, the few words seemed to be an accurate description of an object.This is not because he is not good at talking, but because her mother was married as a kingdom marriage, and Neptune's dispensable attitude towards her made her never feel like the mistress of the palace.She may have never been understood, and everyone is only superficial in the shallow contact, only describing the superficial.When Ariel pieced together the image of her mother according to these descriptions, her mother became a symbol, information that would no longer be updated, information without temperature, and there was no way to make the name engraved on the stone tablet clear forever.

At the same time, what is in contrast is the palace's care and affection for another name.

Completely different from Ariel's mother, the mermaids' impression of Fesli has not faded over time.She was never forgotten compared to others who died silently.Although everyone tacitly doesn't want to mention it, "she" is hidden between people's inadvertently frowning eyebrows, appearing in the metaphor of embarrassment inserted into the conversation from time to time, although her grandmother never wants to talk about it, her father When it comes to talking, it is too sad to speak without a few words.

But still know, like they will look at themselves in a daze.Although the mermaid in the palace shy away from talking about it, her expression is so subtle.

Thinking of this, Ariel couldn't help feeling sad, how stingy this palace is, it only wants to know Feisli.

"call……"

Suddenly, Ariel's shoulders were heavy.

The human girl next to her fell asleep next to her.

Ariel looked left and right, grandmother was busy admonishing father, while the other guards were outside the hall, um... it shouldn't matter.

So, she didn't wake Su up, and just let her lean on her.She didn't know why she was like this, but she just felt that the weight made her feel at ease, as if she had a little partner with her, and she was no longer like before, unable to blend in with the surroundings, out of place and only herself.

Maybe it's a good start?Ariel thought quietly.

The weight on the shoulders changed, and the person on the shoulders seemed to be waking up.

"Sorry, I was too sleepy at the moment."

After waking up, she found herself leaning against Ariel, feeling very embarrassed...

Ariel smiled and shook her head to show it was okay.

"Grandmother is still training father, I don't know when it will end."

"I can wait." Su looked over there, turned his head and whispered to Ariel, "I didn't expect you to help me..."

"This is what you requested." Ariel smiled.

"kindness?"

"You said your name at the end." Ariel had an extremely keen intuition.

"Uh...I'm sorry, I don't have the face to tell you." Su was embarrassed, "After all, I used you."

"I forgive," she said softly, "it's scary."

"Thank you" Su said seriously, "I will definitely make it up to you."

At least that smashed statue...

Ariel looked at the grandmother who was still reprimanding her father: "Grandma agrees that you stay."

Su asked curiously: "If you don't mind, can you tell me how you persuaded your grandmother?"

"It's not difficult. We will arrange a position for you, but as a condition... Grandma wants your pearls."

Ariel said awkwardly.

"Pearl." Su was not surprised by this request. At that time, the old grandmother was staring at the pearl, presumably she had taken a fancy to it.

"Grandma has never forced anything from others, and I don't know why this time..."

Ariel was afraid that Su would mistakenly think her grandmother was greedy, so she explained.

Su Jiang took it out of the pearl pocket and stared at it.She was a little bit reluctant, not because it was very valuable or valuable, but because it represented the hope of returning home, and it was also an opportunity to lead her to the bottom of the sea.

"I just have one request," she said to Ariel.

"Please say."

"It is of great commemorative value to me. May I hand it over to your grandmother?"

Ariel was a little surprised, but she agreed anyway.

"You haven't seen it either, so I'll show you, and I'll take a look at it last." Su took out the pearl from his bosom.

Ambilight and crystal clear, facing this beautiful pearl, Ariel couldn't help sighing.

You know, although she has lived in the sea for many years, has seen many pearls, and used many pearls to decorate, but she has never seen such a big and bright round pearl.

"Can I touch it?" Ariel asked.

"Of course." Su placed the pearl in her palm.

Ariel looked at the pearl in her palm in admiration, and poked it carefully.

The pearl suddenly lit up as if in response, and the dazzling brilliance illuminated the eyes of the two of them, and also illuminated the hall, which was only lit with a few lamps, as bright as day.

Neptune and grandmother looked towards Daylight with horror on their faces.

How dazzling, how dreamy.

The strange light flickering desperately in his hand was a novelty and a magnificent sight to Su and Ariel, but in the eyes of Sea King and grandmother, it was indescribably bitter and fearful.
