Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 948: Doting parents (2)



Ariel didn't seem to care at all as she came over to my side and stood there firmly beside me. The way that she was standing, it was almost as if she was about to introduce me to her parents. Especially with the way that she had said what she said just now...

But in the end, it wasn't that.

It was the other thing that we agreed on.

She gave a nod to Klein who had a hesitant look on his face, but he still gave the order to the other royal guards when he saw the nod that I gave him.

With that, Viper was led forward.

He was tied up and his mouth was gagged, but the look on his face made it very obvious that he had no idea what was happening. He even looked like he wanted to break free of this place as he kept looking around for a way to escape.

Once he had been brought forward, Ariel suddenly said, "This man offended me, so I captured him and brought him..."

Before she could finish, she was interrupted by a booming voice.

"What? He dares offend my precious daughter!"

"Execute him!" The Merman Queen quickly said right as soon as the Merman King's voice fell.

The Merman King didn't hesitate at all as he suddenly pulled out a trident that was different from all of the other tridents that the guards wielded. This trident wasn't different in the way that it was fancier than the other tridents.

This trident was different in the way that it was made of a strange material that seemed to be much stronger than the material used for the other tridents.

The Merman King's trident also released magical fluctuations which showed that it wasn't a normal trident, but also a magic item.

Sebastien and the guards moved after the Merman King pulled out his trident.

At first, I thought that they would stop him and hold him back, but...

It turned out that they had no intentions of doing that at all. Instead, they actually drew their tridents along with the Merman King and turned to look at Viper as if they wanted to rip him apart with their bare hands.

It seemed that it wasn't just the Merman King and Queen alone who doted on Ariel, but also the rest of the royal mermaid guards.

Perhaps the rest of the kingdom might even dote on her with how they were all acting...n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

But now wasn't the time to be thinking about that.

I looked at Klein and the royal guards and they all gave sighs before coming forward to stop the Merman King and the royal mermaid guards from tearing Viper apart. Though they didn't draw their weapons since their intentions weren't to start a war with the Merman Kingdom.

Viper also moved behind them as if he was cowering behind them.

I had to admit that the Merman King and all of these royal mermaid guards charging forward like this did seem quite terrifying.

It seemed like they didn't care that Klein and the others had come forward to stop them. It even seemed like they would barrel right through Klein and the others if they needed to.

But they didn't get the chance to do that as Ariel suddenly stopped them.

"Why are you cutting me off?!" She suddenly shouted which made the Merman King and the royal mermaid guards suddenly stop.

Then narrowing her eyes to look at her father, she said, "I wasn't done speaking yet, why are you making such a fuss?"

The way that she looked at her father wasn't the way that one should look at their father.

But the Merman King didn't dare speak back.

He immediately put away his trident and backed down.

The way that he looked was completely different from how he had been acting before. He was like some kind of poor animal that had been cowed into submission with how he backed down under Ariel's glare.

The other royal mermaid guards also put down their tridents and took a step back.

The Merman Queen just gave a cough and raised her hand to mediate as she said, "Alright, let's not get agitated. Let's all calm down and talk this through."

The way that she said this was as if she hadn't been the one that shouted 'Execute him' just

now.

Once all of them had calmed down, Ariel said, "Like I said before, he's someone that has offended me. Normally, I would have cut him down on the spot for this."

There was a pause from Ariel as she said this and it seemed like it was quite the well timed pause as...

"He deserves death if he offends our little precious baby!"

"That's right!"

The Merman King and Queen didn't hold back at all.

Though the royal mermaid guards didn't say anything, it was clear by the look on their faces what they were thinking.

After this outburst from them, Ariel continued by saying, "There is a problem with his identity though."

Both the Merman King and Queen were surprised to hear this since they didn't think that there was anyone that would force their daughter to hesitate over. After all, they knew what status their Merman Empire had in this world.

Ariel looked at Viper and said, "This person seems to be someone from the Tide Empire's royal family. He seems to be an illegitimate child from the Tide Empire's royal family, but he is still related to them."

Both the Merman King and Queen slightly knitted their brows when they heard this.

If it was any other place, they wouldn't care at all.

It was just the Tide Empire that was different since they could be considered relatives...

It was only the Tide Empire that they had to be considerate over...

Or at least that was what Ariel thought, but that didn't seem to be the case.

"So what if they're related to the Tide Empire? I'll make sure that they personally apologize

to you!" The Merman King suddenly declared.
