Old hag, wrinkled face, ugly bastard?

No, no, no...

and many more!

Did the eldest princess destroy the Abyss Rift Prison for the sake of Ugly Egg?

The amount of information was overwhelming. The mermaids present looked at each other, their gazes shifting back and forth between Brona and Rhys.

Brona wasn't the only one who could recite it in one breath.

Sean's scalp began to burn upon hearing these outrageous words, and then a low, gritting voice came through the megaphone:

"Do you want to die?!"

Then,

It was the same roaring voice as before, still shouting at the top of its lungs with great force:

"Do you think I'm stupid?! How could I possibly say I love another fish? She'd definitely be unhappy if she heard that!"

"Then why the hell are you dragging me into this?!"

The source of the sound began to move at high speed.

It sounds like one person was chasing and hitting the other, while continuing to reveal more information:

"Bronna's real interest is that frilled shark mermaid, Shak!"

boom!

After the dull thud of the collision came a scream.

"Ouch!"

Clearly, the slower runner took a solid hit.

But even while getting beaten up, he didn't forget to dutifully gossip:

"Huh?! What! Shak? That guy who looks like a giant clam that has come to life... does he have such a heavy taste?"

Someone let out a deafening retching sound, mixed with a scream of pain from being punched, "Don't hit my face! I still need my looks to make a living... Help—"

The 360-degree surround sound gradually faded away, as if the two were running away while cursing each other.

However, the aftershocks it left behind were quite explosive.

The frilled shark family...

Known for his fierce fighting prowess and horribly ugly appearance, not to mention the infamous ruthless character, Shak.

The group they gathered was not large.

But they were all ferocious creatures that had been driven away, such as porpoise mermaids, hammerhead mermaids, and longfin mermaids.

They roam between the Blue Kingdom and the Silent Channel year-round, and even the Sea Dragon Guard is helpless against them.

call out--

All the sirens and mermaids' gazes were focused like spotlights on the row of pearl-encrusted golden chairs in the center of the execution platform.

Even the executioner, who was in charge of carrying out the execution, couldn't care less about Riseben and was stealing glances at the eldest princess.

Is this true?

The executioner, wearing a helmet, asked her quietly.

To ensure Riseben's safety, this guy is Ivan in disguise; the real executioner is currently lying dead.

The third princess refused to answer the question.

She was looking down, her long golden hair obscuring most of her face—

That way you won't have to cover your face with your hands!

When Brona was first called an old hag, her face turned pale.

However, upon hearing "Shak," she calmly tucked a wisp of her long red hair behind her ear and rolled her eyes.

"What are you looking at?"

She snorted coldly.

"Shakta's appearance is a bit... not in line with mainstream aesthetics, but he can take down ten troublemakers with ten layers of rifts all by himself."

"I... cough, I'm going to be the Queen of the Sea, do you expect me to marry a pretty face who only knows how to play the piano and sing all day?"

The mermaids below collectively leaned back in a tactical manner.

This spirit...

As expected of the eldest princess, her toughness is simply beyond words.

Several older sea monsters nodded repeatedly. The genes resulting from the combination of sea monsters and shark-mermaids were indeed powerful, and there was no fault in their logic.

but,

Brona didn't care at all about other people's reactions.

She narrowed her upturned eyes and sneered.

That loudspeaker was definitely Carlos, that brainless green-haired Five!

"Carlos lured the Third Princess into destroying the Abyss Prison, committing an unforgivable crime! And he even dared to smear the royal family's reputation!"

With a wave of her sleeve, Brona exuded a murderous aura.

"Go, seize him immediately! Live! I want to personally ensure that he and Riseben, the fish of love, can be together forever!"

Commander, please accept the order immediately.

Although it was very enjoyable to watch the drama unfold, the eldest princess had spoken, and the work still had to be done.

"First to fifth detachments, follow me!"

A sudden ripple stirred the water.

The heavily armed Golden Guard, which had originally surrounded the venue, was suddenly reduced to nearly half of its original size.

This is exactly the result that anyone wanted.

Nobody cares about today's big events anymore.

Nobles and commoners alike were all whispering amongst themselves, while Brona waited to catch the green-haired guy spouting nonsense. As for Risben...

We can only leave it there and drink hot water for now.

Ivan yawned widely. If he weren't afraid of being exposed, he would have loved to use the lava below to grill two fish.

In chaos,

No one cared about Black Ring anymore, who had just been in the spotlight.

After the high priest took his seat on the execution platform, the octopus leaned crookedly in the shadows below it. One of its tentacles twitched twice, and two furtive fish shadows slipped out.

Renyi and Klaus used the fish as cover to sneak back to the priest tower, taking the 'remote control' with them.

"Shouldn't we keep an eye on things here?"

The engineer, whose body length was somewhat striking after transforming into an octopus, crouched down and asked in a low voice.

He was a little worried.

What kind of trouble will Ivan and the now rather irritable Aurora cause?

"...Just be natural."

Any one of the tails could tap him on the back.

The swimming dog Chongchong is even more eye-catching now!

"Don't worry, isn't the Priest Tower a better vantage point?"

Hmm...that's true.

Klaus looked at the tower in front of him, which resembled an upside-down thumbtack, and was convinced.

And in the center of the field.

Bored, Brona swam to Risbane with the air of a victor.

"Risbane, my sister, in your current state, even those fish who used to praise you dare not speak up for you."

Brona crossed her arms and looked down haughtily.

"That green-haired kid who's always been a crybaby actually stood up for once... I'm really touched. After today, you two can go to the bottom of the abyss and be star-crossed lovers."

Riseben suddenly looked up.

"You did it, didn't you?"

"...What do you mean I did it?"

Brona raised her slender eyebrows. "Hmph~ I've done many good deeds, which one are you talking about?"

It's incoherent and doesn't have a beginning or an end.

"You destroyed the Rift Prison and let those hardened criminals escape... all to pin the crime on me."

Riseben pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized:

"And also so that Shak could take this opportunity to redeem himself, making it easier for him to be recruited?"

"..."

Once these words were spoken,

The previously smug-looking Brona suddenly raised her voice several octaves, as if she had swallowed a sea urchin in its shell:

"What nonsense are you spouting... what rubbish are you talking about?!"

The eldest princess was so angry that she lashed out with her tail, scraping off a layer of the execution platform.

Demolition of the prison?

Is it to recruit a few bandits?

"Risben, did Carlos infect your brain with his brain?!"

"I'm taking over a complete and prosperous kingdom, not a mess ransacked by thousands of hardened criminals! Ha... What good will it do me to let those lunatics go? The Silver Guard and Gold Guard sent to suppress them these past few days have suffered hundreds of casualties. Are you going to pay for their compensation?!"
