Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 1178: Reunion (2)



Once the Merman King appeared, he immediately became the center of attention.

It seemed like he was releasing his full pressure to show off his majesty as the king of the Merman Empire.

It was just that it didn't really work against Ariel or the former crown prince.

Both of them had different expressions when they looked at him.

The former crown prince had a look that was a mixture of pride and fear.

Ariel had a look on her face that seemed like she was tired of seeing the Merman King like this.

She even took it a step further by saying with a snort, "Why are you acting like this? Do you really think that anyone will be fooled if you act like this?"

A trace of bitterness appeared on the Merman King's lips, but he held himself back from saying anything to her.

Instead, it was the Merman Queen who came forward to pull Ariel to the side.

The way that this was set up, it seemed that it was between the Merman King and the former crown prince. It seemed like it was some kind of confrontation between these two brothers.

Zyra and Puffer looked like they were about to step forward to help him, but the former crown prince raised his hand to stop them without even turning away from the Merman King.

The two of them just silently looked at each other in a tense manner.

It was as if they were about to start fighting with each other at any moment, it was just that the match hadn't been lit to light the fuse yet.

One could almost smell the scent of gunpowder in the air from how tense this situation was.

Not a single person dared to move a single muscle since they were afraid of escalating this situation.

But I knew that I had no choice.

After all, I was the one that had initiated this in the first place, so I should at least step in now that things have come this far.

With a cough, I said, "Merman King, I hope that you will remember what we discussed previously."

The Merman King narrowed his eyes to look at me, which broke the tense atmosphere for the others. But the fact that he was looking right at me now put that pressure that had been on everyone else on me.

It was as if I took on all of the pressure of this situation onto myself, which was quite a bit of pressure to take alone.

But in the end, the Merman King slowly gave a nod as if he was agreeing with me.

He slowly turned back to the former crown prince and said, "It's been a while since we've seen each other."

The former crown prince was surprised to hear this, but he kept a calm look on his face as he gave a simple nod in response. It didn't seem like he was going to let these words affect him, but it was also clear that he was completely confused by what the Merman King was doing.

He just couldn't understand why the Merman King would say something like this.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Merman King could naturally see what his brother was thinking, so he said, "Did you find what you were looking for?"

This time, there was a visible surprise that appeared on the face of the former crown prince since he didn't expect the Merman King to ask something like this.

He just looked at the Merman King for a bit as if he was trying to figure out what he meant by this, but he eventually gave a simple nod in response.

Then turning to Zyra and Dicus, he said, "This is my wife and my child."

The Merman King also turned to look at the two of them, though the way that he looked at them was different from the way that he looked at his brother. It was almost as if he was looking at someone that had stolen something from him.

With another awkward cough, I said, "Let's talk this through."

The Merman King once again turned to look at me with the same look that he looked at Zyra and Dicus with, but he eventually nodded in agreement.

The former crown prince looked at me with a strange look, but I just pointed at the button that I was holding in my hand. I had this button out the whole time just in case anything happened and it seemed that the Merman King had noticed this.

This button was a relic from Aquaron, so he had to at least listen to me if I was talking with it in my hand.

Though I could tell that it wasn't just because of this that he decided to listen to me.

I knew that there was a part of him that actually wanted to listen and talk things through, it was just that he was embarrassed. At the same time, he had to think of his position as the king of the Merman Empire.

So he couldn't accept that easily.

It was only when the other side was a god that he had to listen.

Once everyone calmed down, the royal guards actually brought out a table and some chairs that they placed at the bottom of the sea.

This was an impromptu place for a meeting, but it didn't seem to matter to everyone here.

The Merman King wasn't willing to let the former crown prince into the capital of the Merman Empire that he abandoned. At the same time, it didn't seem like Zyra and Puffer were willing to go in now that the Merman King was here.

They were afraid that they might be trapped if they actually entered the capital.

So there was a place that was made at the bottom of the sea for them to talk.

Of course, there was an awkward silence as everyone sat at the table.

Since I felt that it was my fault that this happened, I stood up to say, "Let's talk about..."
