Early the next morning, Arthur was woken up. He left Kai and Bedivere who were still sleeping in, and followed the mermaid who led the way out of the room.
This encounter was extremely dangerous, and Arthur just wanted to deal with it by himself, not wanting to involve his companions.
He followed the palace magician Undina around the palace. Instead of going directly to the queen's hall, he came to a small room.
"Please come into the bathroom and take a shower. The ceremonial clothes you need to wear to see Her Majesty the Queen are also ready." said the palace magician Wendina.
Yes. There are a lot of red tapes that need to be followed before meeting the Queen. Kings are always aloof and cannot be easily seen.
"Okay. I'm done." Arthur suppressed the confusion in his heart, bowed lightly, and walked into the bathroom.
There is a rare warm place in this cold Crystal Palace. It is filled with smoke. The sunlight refracted through the blue crystals from high in the sky shows a beautiful and mysterious clouds in the smoke. The seven-color brilliance of the clouds is reflected in the Crystal Palace.
On the crystal gold pillars, the gold and blue crystals reflect each other countless times, like a kaleidoscope, adding a more magical and strange scene to this ice room.
Arthur escaped into this wonderland and couldn't help but relax a little from his nervousness. He was planning to enjoy a hot bath alone and calm down to think about his next action.
But his hopes were in vain - there were already guests in the bathroom.
A blond boy is sitting in the bath waiting. He has short pure golden hair. Under the steam and light, there is a golden halo, giving people a very noble feeling. His big blue eyes are like the sea.
It was deep, with a watery aura. The man's appearance was exactly the same as Bedivere's description, and Arthur immediately guessed who this young man was.
The fish-man boy showed a sly smile, as if he was planning something.
Arthur knew the details of this guy, and it was precisely because of his knowledge that he understood that Tristan had bad intentions. The knight bowed lightly and sat quietly in the bath, pretending not to see anything.
Seeing that Arthur was pretending to be stupid, Tristan couldn't help but ask, "You should be...Knight Arthur? Isn't Bedivere here?"
"No, I am the only one allowed to see Her Majesty the Queen." Arthur said coldly.
"Really? What a coincidence." The fish-man boy said regretfully.
The knight soaked in the bath and looked at the hot steam on the water. He couldn't help but ask: "I thought the mermaids were afraid of heat."
"Other big sisters are afraid of heat but not cold. I am the only exception. The palace has always been extremely cold to me." Tristan said while playing with the water.
"That's really hard for you." Arthur said disapprovingly.
"Well------" the fish-man boy looked at Arthur with his big clever and cunning eyes, "Actually, I have a request------can you kidnap me?"
"What?!"
"If what Bedivere told me last night is true, then the mermaids and you humans are preparing for war, right?" Tristan smiled slyly, "Then, if you kidnap me as a hostage, wouldn't you?
Can the mermaid tribe not dare to go to war with you? I can also go to the human world to experience things, and I don’t have to stay in this cold ghost place anymore. It’s really the best of both worlds!”
Just ask why this kid takes a bath here early in the morning, he is waiting here - Arthur is wondering.
"Are you serious?" Arthur asked, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"Yes, seriously. Take me away. Now." The fish-man boy said forcefully.
A strange feeling entered Arthur's mind. It was an idea, a hint. The fish-man boy's thoughts were transmitted to the knight's mind through the information carried by photons.
Arthur blinked numbly, "Okay, Master."
He approached the fish-man boy, stretched out his hands, and seemed to strangle Tristan's neck.
Tristan's face showed a proud, naughty smile after a successful prank.
------Then,
Snap! Arthur suddenly slapped the fish-man boy!
"How are you, are you awake, kid? Or are you too drunk and need a slap?" Arthur scolded sternly.
"You---!" Tristan was surprised.
"Don't worry, hypnosis has no effect on me." Arthur said calmly.
The so-called hypnotism is nothing more than psychological suggestion. As long as the subject's will is strong enough, the psychological suggestions imposed by others cannot affect him. When it comes to strong will, Arthur can easily squeeze in among such people in the world without boasting.
First row.
"If you want to run away from home, just find a way on your own. It's really despicable to ask others to do things for you. You don't have to think about the international problems caused by kidnapping you, but you also think about the consequences of running away from home like this.
How worried are you making your family members?"
"I have no family." Tristan muttered, covering his face. His face was still burning with pain.
"Nonsense, you are just a brat who is spoiled by everyone." Arthur said angrily, "You only care about yourself and don't think about how much trouble you will cause to the people around you. Such a willful brat is not being pampered."
What’s broken?”
"I'm not. I just..." The fish-man boy was speechless.
"Go back to your mother's arms, kid. Bedivere is a good old man, so he obeys you in every possible way, but this method won't work here." Arthur said sternly.
"Ugh..." Tristan tried not to cry, but tears were already hanging in the corners of his eyes, "Arthur, you idiot! You don't understand anything at all!!"
He put on his clothes hastily and ran away.
"You brat, you can run away pretty fast." Arthur cursed angrily.
This kid only sees the misfortune around him, but never knows how happy he is. Such a guy is exactly the kind of person Arthur hates the most.
Half an hour later, Arthur, wearing gorgeous ceremonial clothes, walked into the hall to see the Queen.
The Crystal Palace has the most gold content in this palace. Exquisite patterns of gold are covered on countless crystal walls, creating such a natural, glorious and luxurious hall. The gold reflects the crystals here, which are golden and transparent.
and opaque golden light intersected in the temple, forming dazzling brilliance.
On a hundred-level high platform, there is a huge crystal throne. The figure of a mermaid is looming in it.
"See Her Majesty the Queen." Knight Arthur just caught a glimpse of the other party's figure and knelt down to salute without much hesitation. There are strict etiquette for meeting with the royal family. If he only kneels down too late to look at the queen's beauty, Arthur will lose his life.
!
There was silence for a second.
"Knight Arthur, I have been waiting for you." A noble, elegant, and arrogant voice came from the throne.
Sitting on the huge crystal throne among the ice blue thin silk tents is a beautiful mermaid with golden scales.
