Chapter 52
Eric carried Zhou Ran into the palace.
Human palaces are more gorgeous than those in the sea, and pay more attention to the harmony of colors. The gates of the palace are very large, with complex patterns carved on them. The pillars and decorations reveal a full Western humanistic atmosphere. The tall throne is even more dazzling.
Along the way, the servants and soldiers bent down to greet the prince, and their eyes were respectful and respectful.
Although Prince Eric is the public enemy of the underwater world, here he is the belief of the soldiers and ministers and the support of their spirit, just as the people at the underwater trust Ariel's father.
Because of the last time when Zhou Ran came in, he carefully observed the surroundings to see if there were any special characters.
But this time, except for the old servant and the fiancée of the prince who was about to face, there was no one worth paying attention to.
Prince Eric was very careful. After returning to the palace, he immediately ordered his servants to bring many daily necessities, and then arranged Zhou Ran in a bedroom where he could bathe in the sun.
The bedroom is very big and beautiful. The yard is full of tiny and soft white flowers. When the wind blows by, you will feel the fragrance on your face. There are also pools around the bedroom. The pool is high in the west and low in the east and winding, and around the palace, the gurgling sound of water makes the hot summer not hot at all.
Eric asked the servant to bring the clothes and let Zhou Ran change it.
It was a skirt surrounded by lace, the configuration of the royal nobles, the fabric was silky and soft, the style was complex but beautiful, and it complemented the beauty of the little mermaid.
Eric: "I will tell the servants to go and find your family, so don't worry too much. Oh, don't have any burden to live here. If you have any needs, please let the servants notify me."
Zhou Ran: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Eric smiled: "Ariel, what are you calling me?"
Zhou Ran raised her head, showed an innocent smile, and said shyly: "Brother Eric."
Eric: "Be good." Then he reached out and touched her soft hair.
Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded from behind: "Your Highness the Prince."
Zhou Ran looked at him in search of the voice. A beautiful woman was standing in front of the palace gate, looking at them with a difficult-to-describe look.
Zhou Ran looked at her, and the eyes of the two collided for a moment, then Zhou Ran put away her smile and bent down to salute respectfully.
Eric turned his head, his blue eyes immediately filled with joy: "Karina!"
Unlike when he saw Zhou Ran's appearance, Eric seemed to love this princess very much. He heard her voice and couldn't wait to walk to her side, bent down and sniff the fragrance on her cheeks, and then smiled emotionally: "Dear, why are you here? I'm going to see you."
"It was the servant who asked me to come over. He said you are back and I'm worried that you will be tired." Kalina hugged him and asked, "What's the matter with your highness?"
"Just telling you, come with me." Eric said, bringing Kalina to Zhou Ran.
After Kalina came, Eric's smile became brighter and brighter. The young prince gently introduced Zhou Ran to his fiancée, indicating that she was rescued by the beach, and that he would keep her and help her find her separated family.
Kalina is a lady with gentle and gentle manners. She always smiles unconsciously when she looks at the prince. When she talks about Zhou Ran’s experience, she couldn’t help sobbing, her eyes were so red, and she held Zhou Ran’s hand and said, “Poor child, I will take care of you.”
Zhou Ran: "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess."
Kalina wiped away her tears and said to Eric: "Your Highness, your heart is really kind, but Ariel is a girl after all, and there will be many inconveniences. Why not give Ariel's sister to me to take care of. We are all girls, and she will be much more comfortable."
Eric was upset with this question. When he heard his beautiful fiancée say this, he felt very happy. The corners of his mouth raised and said to Kalina: "Dear, it's great that you can think like this! There is something else that needs me to deal with. Take care of her more, ask her what she wants to eat and drink, and then ask the servants to find her family."
Kalina nodded: "I will."
Eric hugged her again and said to her: "Dear, you saved my life. I love you so much. Tonight I will give you the greatest wedding. Please be my wife!"
Kalina nodded vigorously and kissed the prince: "I look forward to our wedding, too."
Zhou Ran frowned slightly as she heard this.
But in fact, she was not worried about the wedding at night, but because of the Princess Kalina in front of her. Because Zhou Ran guessed that the survival barrier on the fourth day was most likely to revolve around Princess Kalina.
In fact, when Zhou Ran saw Kalina appear, the messy clues had been cleared.
The reason is very simple. The total number of days of survival in the game is five days.
The first day is a bonus question, and there is no death condition, so it doesn’t count if you can throw it away. The next day’s problem lies with the sister and the king, perhaps the conch singing, or perhaps the player accidentally said taboo words, which will trigger the death condition.
On the third day, the Duke of Bed will set up a trap with a affectionate look and ask you if you want to promote the necessary potions for the plot. Players will choose the need no matter what, so it is difficult not to trigger the death condition.
In other words, there are no ghosts in the bounty dungeon, but every day's survival obstacles will be set up to complete it.
Then it is the fourth day, and there is no reason for the game to let players spend the game safely, because the wedding was held on the fifth day, and after midnight it is the fifth day. There must be obstacles in this fourth day.
Then, Zhou Ran guessed that this obstacle was the Princess Kalina in front of her, that's right!
Zhou Ran looked at Kalina. The beautiful princess was still lingering with the prince. She said beautiful words: "Go, my highness, your sister is my sister. I will definitely treat Ariel as my biological sister, and then help Ariel find her family back."
Eric's eyes were soft and affectionate, and he bent down and kissed her forehead emotionally, and then left reluctantly.
As soon as Eric left, the temperature of the air around him dropped a lot.
The plot moves forward as Zhou Ran guessed, Kalina's expression became cold. She raised her head, with a little tears on her face, but the look she looked at Zhou Ran with a slight scrutiny.
The next second, a cold and unfamiliar voice came from Kalina's throat: "Ariel? I have never heard of this name, nor have I ever heard of the village you mentioned, who are you? What is your purpose in getting close to His Royal Highness?"
Zhou Ran looked at her behind her hands, without saying a word, and her body trembled slightly.
Kalina frowned: "I advise you not to be so weak. Eric won't come back now! I've seen a lot of girls like you. Do you want to do some damage before our wedding and cheat money away?"
Zhou Ran shook her head and squeezed her hands behind her back tightly.
When Zhou Ran didn't speak, Kalina seemed helpless, but her eyes were still sharp: "You know, this is a very important moment in my life, and I will never want to cause trouble. It's better to do this. I will give you as much money as you want, and you will leave here today."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ran trembled and said, "No, I am not, my home has been washed away by the flood, and my family is still alive and dead..."
Kalina: "Enough! You think I will believe you, only a simple prince will believe it. I saved the prince, and he is going to marry me now. I can't let anyone ruin my wedding!"
Zhou Ran seemed to be waiting for her words, a look of confusion flashed in her big eyes, and then her expression became a little angry again, and she questioned her: "You... how could you say that! You clearly know that the prince was not saved by you."
Kalina's expression suddenly changed, her lips trembled, "What did you say?!"
Zhou Ran was still very scared and said in a trembling voice: "Then, I saw that day, it was not the prince you saved, but a little mermaid saved him, but you came over and the little mermaid was scared away by you. When the prince woke up, he asked who saved him. I thought you would tell the prince, but I didn't expect you to cheat him!"
After hearing Zhou Ran's words, Kalina was stunned for a moment, and then her body trembled. It seemed that Zhou Ran's words had worked.
In fact, Zhou Ran didn't plan to do this before.
But the experience of the past few days told her that if she does not take the initiative, she will not be able to get out of this game even if she has a thousand chances to read the file.
Therefore, she had to turn defense into offense, stimulate the nerves of the NPC first and let her take action.
At this moment, Zhou Ran was holding a conch in her hand behind her back. The conch had already recorded their conversation. If Kalina wanted to fight her now, Zhou Ran was sure to insert the dagger into her heart first!
The reason why she saw it instead of pointing out that she was the mermaid was because the prince was about to attack the sea. If she exposed her identity, not only would she not be able to marry the prince, but she would also cause trouble.
This game is really well designed. If you make a mistake in one move, you don’t even know how you die...
At this moment, Kalina's face turned blue and her body trembled slightly.
She was so panicked and nervous, because she didn't know how the girl in front of her knew, but that day, the facts were indeed as she said.
She passed by the sea and saw a little mermaid rescue the prince from afar. She deliberately made some noise. The little mermaid was indeed scared away. So she picked up the prince, printed a kiss on the prince's forehead, and told him that she jumped out of the sea and rescued him after fighting the storm.
The prince believed it without doubt and promised to give her a grand wedding.
No, she could not give up on this wedding. Her father's country was gradually weakening. If she could not get the prince's love, she would have nothing!
Kalina's eyes were stained with a crazy smell. She looked at the weak little girl in front of her and sneered: "Little guy, you shouldn't know so much."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ran took a few steps back in fear, and hit the tree planted in the yard, making a loud noise: "You, what are you going to do to me!"
Kalina sneered, called her loyal old servant over, and then said to Zhou Ran: "Of course I'm going to die early. I said that my wedding is about to be held, and I can't allow anyone to destroy it."
Zhou Ran: "Are you going to let your servants kill me now? How could a kind prince fall in love with a despicable person like you!"
Kalina smiled and said, "How could I be despicable? After you die, no one will know that it was the mermaid who saved the prince. The mermaid may have been disposed of by her king. No one will know, hahahaha!"
Zhou Ran: "You are so despicable."
Kalina's expression became more and more crazy, and she turned to the old servant who had been guarding outside the palace and said, "Eric."
