Ariel nodded and asked: "Mr. William, if yes, what do you want to do? If not, what do you want to do?"

William exhaled and looked a little frustrated. He shook his head slightly and said: "I... don't know what I'm going to do. If the Baron admits it, our Mermaid Song will be controlled by the royal family next, then

I actually have no choice. I just... I just want to know who I am working for. If it is the former President Ai Luo, then even if I risk my life, I will still work for President Ai Luo.

, I will do my best for the Mermaid Song. But now, if I am actually working for the royal family...I might...maybe..."

Cheese snorted and said, "What? Don't you have a good impression of your human emperor?"

Cream scratched the back of his head: "It's not that I don't have any good feelings, I should say I don't have any feelings. I am a street gangster, although those who are rich and have status have always said that we should respect the royal family. The royal family is for us.

It brought hard-won peace and food. But to be honest, I didn’t feel what the royal family had brought to me.”

"The street where I lived when I was a child has always been in such chaos. The local mayor accepted bribes, colluded with the bandits, and imposed various taxes on the townspeople. Some small lords still had conflicts with each other.

They will attack each other for some territory, compete with each other, and even poison and assassinate each other."

"In my limited life, I didn't realize that I could really play a big role until I entered Mermaid Song. It's such a wonderful thing for everyone to work together to accomplish something. So I hope

I can know whether these things that make me happy are brought to me by the royal family or by the former President Ai Luo."

After patiently listening to Ji Lian's question, Ariel exhaled slightly, thought carefully for a moment, and then said -

"Indeed, I cannot deny that the future development of Mermaid Song will not be interfered by the royal family. I am the mistress of the second prince, and this title alone is enough for me to have a lot of troubles to deal with."

"Grim, I can't guarantee that the royal family will not interfere with the Song of the Mermaid in the future. Just like the Holy See and the Association did just now, there may be more people who want to control the Song of the Mermaid and want to take it from my hands.

Take the command away."

"But I will never give up."

"The title of the second prince's mistress can bring me a lot of benefits, but while reaping the benefits, I will also try my best to keep all costs to a minimum. I have some ideas... but I'm sorry, these ideas are not available at the moment.

I can disclose it to you or everyone present. I can only assure you and everyone that my idea is definitely not to shape the Mermaid Song into a tentacle of the royal family in Pelican Town. From the past to the present, I

In fact, there is only one thing I want to do the most——"

"That's fair."

Ariel's eyes moved away from Ji Lian and glanced at the other members around——

"I am a woman and I want fairness. I was also born a slave and I want fairness even more."

"I will not do anything to harm everyone. If you have to pay a price, then I will definitely discuss it with you and bear the price together, and I will bear the heaviest share."

"In the past, I have always wanted to prove myself. But now, I want to prove something else. I don't know exactly what these things are yet, but I feel that this thing may be what I have really wanted for a long time.

Get something.”

Then, her eyes returned to Cream's face. After a slight pause, Ariel continued -

"Grim, please forgive me for still hiding my thoughts. Because even I want to figure out what my thoughts are. I can't promise you anything, let alone tell you what we want to do right now.

What can we do to get justice?”

"This is uncertainty. It is because of this uncertainty and because the road in front of me may be a road that no one has ever walked before, so I want to continue walking along this road. I

I want to see what is at the end of this road."

With that said, Ariel slowly stretched out her hand towards William and said——

"This road may be more difficult, so I need someone to help me and assist me. If I have members like you around me when I set foot on this road, I will feel that I must

You can go to the end of this road and see what kind of scenery is on the other side."

"In this case, William, are you still willing to...continue to help me as a member of Mermaid Song?"

William lowered his head and looked at the baron's extended hand.

Then, he raised his head again and looked into the baron's blue eyes.

She didn't lie to herself.

Although there is indeed a bit of strength in these eyes, they are also full of doubts and hesitations. Similarly, there is also a faint sense of uneasiness about the future.

This is definitely not a look that believes that with the help of the royal family, he can be safe and make a lot of money easily. It is more like a look that is more cautious and frightened than before, walking on thin ice, but continuing to move forward.

Looking at these eyes, Ji Lian suddenly felt that he was a little ridiculous.

The corner of his mouth cracked, and while laughing at himself, he also stretched out his hand and patted the president's hand.

"It's funny, our president doesn't know what will happen to us in the future."

At this point, Ji Lian's face relaxed again, and he also put on a smile, put his hands on his hips, and said with a smile——

"In that case, let's just keep walking and see. President Ariel, first of all, what should we do? Prepare wedding gifts? Or find a way to raise money?"

Ariel couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at Ji Lian's reply. At this point, all the members of Mermaid Song have accepted him as the president.

Ariel couldn't help but laugh, and then, just when she was about to tell her next thoughts, Coco suddenly ran down from the second floor, threw herself into Ariel's arms, and started whimpering.

Cry loudly.

But this time she didn't escape anymore, but instead used her face mixed with tears, snot and saliva to rub Ariel's maid dress more wantonly.

Ariel felt more relieved now, and the members on the side finally laughed.

"President, what should we do next?"

In response to Ji Lian's question, Ariel smiled slightly, opened her mouth, and started talking...

————

The Magic Association is now located in a towering spire in the noble district.

Although many people don't quite understand why magicians like to build spires and live in such spires, they just like it. It is said that this kind of tall spire allows them to overlook the surrounding situation and gain access to

more information.

However, who knows what the specific reason is.

Priest twisted his mouth and snorted at the spiral staircases inside the spire.

Under the leadership of a little magician, the high priest of the Holy See slowly stepped forward and slowly climbed up the spiral stairs. After walking about five floors high, the door opened next to him and a room appeared.

The drawing room. And Majik, the great elder of the Magic Association, was standing at the door of the drawing room, looking at the visitor with an unhappy expression.

"Why, you don't welcome me?"

Priest opened his hands and smiled, indicating that he did not bring any staff.

Majik snorted, turned around, walked into the living room, and sat down on a sofa. When Priest also came in and sat down, a trolley moved slowly without anyone pushing it.

When he came over, the teapot on top automatically rose up in the air, poured a cup of tea, and placed it in front of the high priest.

Priest glanced at the teacup, teapot and the trolley, couldn't help but laugh, and said, "It seems that you still care about it."

Majik snorted and said: "It's just that I don't use animal power. I can do this level of magic with just two days of thinking. What about you? Do you have any ideas about the pocket fire and elemental lamp? Or do you?

Are you saying that we can only wait for that elemental machine to take away your business?"

Priest picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The expression on his face seemed to be at ease, and he said with a smile: "I believe Elder Majik must have already figured out how to deal with these guys? After all, the biggest attackers of the things they have developed are you.

Magic Association. However, our Holy See is willing to play a supporting role and help you deal with these unscrupulous children."

"Hmph! If you ask me, just kill them!"

After the door of the office was closed, Majik raised his hand and slammed the table, his face full of dissatisfaction, and said——

"Of course there is no problem with His Highness wanting to reform us, but what kind of reform is this? I think His Highness has completely failed to take into account our associations that have worked hard to maintain the Blue Bay Empire for hundreds of years! Priest, you

Don't tell me to calm down. It's very easy to kill one or two civilians silently with magic. What's more, the maid really doesn't have any magic power and doesn't know how to fight. It's really easy to kill her.
