Chapter 894: Powerful legs (1)
The next morning, there were dark bags that were under my eyes.
That was because I barely slept the night before.
Since I had been away for so long, I wasn’t allowed to go to sleep by my wives…
They had dragged me into our bedroom without care for our guest who they just left with the prime minister to take care of and then kept me in bed all night.
With seven of them, it really was hard to have enough energy to satisfy them all, but I did my best.
But since it had been a while since we had done it, it took much more energy than usual to satisfy them all.
They were insatiable…
When morning came, they were all gone since they all had things to take care of since they were in positions that came with responsibilities. Since we were back in the castle, there was no need for them to spend all day with me since they would know where I was at night.
That gave me some alone time with Ariel when I went for breakfast.
As I sat down, I could see her glaring at me.
“Thanks for abandoning me with that fake man last night.” There was a resentful tone in her voice as she said this.
There was a bitter smile that crept onto my face when I heard this.
It was certainly the first time that I heard someone address the prime minister as such, so it was definitely hearing her call him this.
However, I at least had to speak up for him, “Just give him some time, you’ll get use to him.” “Hmph.” Ariel said while turning her head to the side.
I didn’t say anything else about this and instead changed the topic by asking, “What do you want to do today? There will still be some time before we finish investigating Viper’s background, so we won’t be able to move just yet.”
The problem with Viper was that we weren’t certain that he was related to the Tide Empire’s royal family.
We had been following up on some leads about him, but we hadn’t found anything concrete that connected him to the Tide Empire’s royal family yet. However, we also hadn’t found anything that disproved this, so we had no choice but to keep searching.
Only when we found our proof would we be able to do anything, so there was still some time before we put the plan we had come up with in action.
That meant that there was some time before we needed Ariel’s help.
As such, there wasn’t much for Ariel to do during this time.
Though it didn’t seem like we needed to worry about her since she was someone who was just obsessed with studying humans.
We had no idea why she was so obsessed with humans, but it seemed like she wanted to learn everything about them.
But today it was…
“I want to test out my new legs.” Ariel said in response to my question.
I was surprised since I didn’t expect this answer, but I also couldn’t help looking at her legs. She was wearing a dress that had a slit in it, so I was able to see the smooth white skin of her legs. It was like a fresh field of snow that had been untouched with how white and smooth it was.
Since mermaids spent most of the time under the water, that meant that they didn’t get as much sun as humans.
As such, their skin was much lighter compared to human skin.
As for why she was wearing that dress with the slit…well, she had gotten into the habit of keeping her legs together like they were a tail since that was what she was used to. As such, she couldn’t wear anything restrictive and opted for this dress with the slit in it.
Ariel revealed a faint smile when she saw me looking at her before teasing, “Do you want a closer look?”
I quickly shook my head and changed the topic by asking, “How are you planning to test them?”
“Well, Cecilia told me about the training of the knights. I figured that I would go and spar with them to see how these new legs hold up.” Ariel said in a confident voice.
I was once again surprised by this answer since I never thought that she would be this violent.
However, it seemed that this mermaid princess was quite the tomboy…
Well, I already knew that since that was the personality that she had in the game.
I just didn’t expect it to be this intense though.
In the end, I chose to go with Ariel to watch over the training since there wasn’t much for me to do in the first place.
There might be a few documents for me to go over, but the prime minister would bring them over when he needed me. Before that time came, I had some time to spare to watch her spar with the knights.
When we arrived, the knights immediately stopped what they were doing and saluted me. The ones that came forward as the representatives of the knights were a muscular middle aged man and a curvy purple haired girl that had her hair in a ponytail. They were the leader and vice leader of the royal guards respectively.
The leader was named Klein and the vice leader was named Elizabeth.
Both of them saluted me before looking at Ariel with one brow raised.
Ariel was someone who was only known by those that needed to know who she was, so it wasn’t strange that these two didn’t recognize her. We would introduce her to the people in the castle later, but for now…it was better to keep her a secret since there was no telling who would leak her identity.
I gave a nod in response to the two of them before saying to Klein, “Can you send out one of your female knights to spar with this guest of ours?”
