Quick, I don't want to be in love anymore

Chapter 399 Adaptation of the Little Mermaid from a Fairy Tale (6)

Upon closer inspection, the person they were protecting behind them was none other than the prince she had rescued some time ago.

The Little Mermaid glanced at him quickly, then looked away and spoke.

"I came from a neighboring country, but the carriage had some problems on the way, which is why I'm only arriving now..."

As she spoke, the princes behind the two guards subtly observed her, their eyes filled with a hint of amazement. However, unsure of her safety, they remained silent.

Where is your pass?

The Little Mermaid's overall demeanor is that of a young lady raised in a noble family.

Strangely, she had no maids or guards around her, making her behavior particularly suspicious to them.

Perhaps she's a spy sent by an enemy country, trying to use a honey trap to gather information.

After all, the country is currently on the verge of war with a small neighboring country, which is said to have been forced into retreat.

Hearing their words, the little mermaid secretly breathed a sigh of relief and slowly took out the pass she had prepared beforehand and handed it over.

"Alright, I wonder if this young lady would like to return to the palace with me. It's late at night, and the inns and taverns have long since closed. It might not be safe for you to be out here alone."

After receiving reassuring glances from the two guards, the prince stepped forward and smoothed things over.

The two guards didn't react much, since the prince had been wandering around the beach every day since he nearly drowned, supposedly looking for some savior, and wouldn't return until late at night.

They not only had to patrol the city during the day, but also had to take turns running around in the evening, which was really exhausting.

Therefore, they never questioned or argued with his orders, but simply obeyed. The Little Mermaid naturally accepted his attentiveness completely.

After all, her goal was to get close to the prince, and she had achieved it effortlessly, which made her very happy.

So she followed the prince into the palace as his savior.

The King and Queen were pleased with his actions, since the entire palace knew that the Prince had been going to great lengths to find the person who had saved him that day.

Now that they've found him, they don't have to go out and search anymore, and they can feel more at ease, no longer having to worry about his safety every day.

When the Little Mermaid heard this excuse, she found it somewhat absurd: I had impersonated the person who had taken my place and become the prince's savior.

Because it was late at night, after instructing his maid to bring the Little Mermaid to the palace, the prince had to leave first at the queen's urging.

He also had to find a way to keep it a secret from others and tell his personal guards to secretly go to the beach area to look for his savior again.

If we really can't find it, then let's stop looking. After all, we've already had a savior, haven't we?

As the prince thought about it, he found it increasingly reasonable and no longer felt as eager and attentive as before.

But unexpectedly, the flowers I planted with care did not bloom, while the willows I planted unintentionally thrived. In the end, I found the princess with ease, but that's another story.

The next day, after dawn, the Little Mermaid calmly finished a sumptuous breakfast served by her maids, and was then led to the Queen's palace.

The queen sat at the table, not displaying the haughty demeanor that the little beauty had imagined.
