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

Chapter 408 Adaptation of the Little Mermaid from a Fairy Tale (15)

The last one, named Catherine, was caught red-handed by the Little Mermaid.

She was the only child in her family and was pampered growing up. Her family always gave her whatever she asked for. But this situation changed when she was 7 years old.

When she was seven years old, her mother gave birth to a younger sister, and the whole family's attention was involuntarily drawn to her because of the sister's birth.

As she watched her younger sister grow up and the people who used to surround her but were now teasing her, the malice in her heart grew stronger and stronger.

So when her younger sister was three years old, she lured people to the edge of the pond, gave them a gentle push, and then ran away. When she reappeared, it was when her younger sister's body was discovered.

She arrived late and was embraced by her grief-stricken mother.

A strange light shone in her eyes as she reached out and gently patted her mother's back, softly comforting her.

In a corner where no one could see her, she couldn't suppress the smile on her face, and she was overjoyed.

Now, the resources that belong to you won't be taken away by others, and no one will try to steal the attention that belongs to you.

Ironically, the name Catherine implies purity and holiness, yet she possessed a personality completely contrary to that name.

When the people sent by the Little Mermaid found her and revealed her secret, she was horrified. Her first thought was to kill her to cover it up, and she did try, but she failed.

After learning the whole story, the prince believed that he had been washed ashore by the waves and that he had no savior at all.

The princess, however, wanted to take advantage of him. Despite still remembering her life-saving grace, he made a point of explaining the situation to his father and mother, asking them to find a good marriage for him.

But how could anyone else take advantage of him? A faint smile played on his lips as he beckoned his trusted aide and whispered a few words in his ear.

The confidant concealed the surprise in his eyes, nodded, and then walked out.

The next day, two unassuming carriages, but luxurious inside, carried several guards and maids into the depths of the forest.

The princess sat in the carriage, her eyes occasionally drifting to another carriage in front of her, her heart filled with joy, and a sweet smile on her face.

At the same time, she became even more convinced that she was right to drive the Little Mermaid away.

Although the prince had been ignoring her these past few days because of this incident, he would never have asked her to go out and enjoy the scenery if she hadn't left.

Not only that, he also specifically instructed himself to bring fewer maids, so as not to disturb their time together.

After getting off the carriage, the prince gestured for all the guards to remain where they were. The princess's maid glanced at her and hesitated for a moment.

After meeting the princess's accepting gaze, he remained rooted to the spot, watching the prince and princess's figures gradually disappear before his eyes.

At first, the princess was immersed in joy and kept following the prince's footsteps, but the further they walked, the stranger she felt. When she came to her senses, they were already standing on the edge of a cliff.

Her heart skipped a beat, and then she tentatively asked, "Is there some unique scenery here?"

The prince smiled but remained silent, gazing into the distance. Following his gaze, all that could be seen was a bottomless abyss, devoid of even a small tree or flower, let alone any beautiful scenery...
