The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

"It's freshly made in the kitchen and is still hot. Would you like to try it, Amu?" He had originally wanted to go see Count Taki, but after calculating the time, he thought the mermaid was about to wake up, so he came over to take a look.

It would be best if you could help me change clothes or something.

A small piece of pastry was brought to his mouth. You Mu opened his mouth and ate it. With the whispered reminder from Tiandao in his consciousness, he reported a few dishes and cakes and asked Argonas to send someone to deliver them.

He repeated the feeding action, and when the mermaid opened her mouth to eat, Argonas mischievously withdrew, reached out and pulled the mermaid over to kiss her.

Using his knuckles to wipe away the water stains from the corners of his red lips, Argonas was close enough to see the mark of the mermaid spreading down from her neck through her clothes.

Argonas, who was still unsatisfied, barely concealed the disgust in his eyes, and there was always a hint of teasing in his expression when he looked at the mermaid.

"I'll ask Arnold to give the order and it will be delivered soon."

But Argonas knew when to stop, and after he had given her a kiss and satisfied himself, he restrained himself a little.

He dressed You Mu in a serious and proper manner, and his overly obedient actions left You Mu with no reason to criticize him.

The food was prepared in advance and was served quite quickly. Also accompanying them were Barry and Xi, who had just returned to the palace last night.

Agonas tried to please by playing the role of a servant, serving tea and dishes. He was as thick-skinned as a city wall and would not back anyone up. There was also a hint of him showing off in public.

"Your Highness, apart from the ones who died in the experiment, we have rescued five mermaids in total. Most of them were sent back to Tislanton through the offshore patrol team. However, there is still one... He didn't want to return to the deep sea. I was worried about letting him stay in human society, so I brought him back temporarily." Xi was a little helpless and didn't know how to describe the condition of the mermaid.

While delivering food to Tiandao and accepting the food that Argonas brought to his mouth, You Mu raised his eyes and signaled the other party to continue speaking after listening to Xi's tone.

"…His name is Qi, a mermaid with blue hair and tail, two years older than me. Qi was unwilling to return to the deep sea. After the laboratory was destroyed, when the prince's men detained the illegal researcher, Qi reacted strongly. He was trying to protect the person who hurt him."

"Your Highness, has Qi's mind been bewitched by humans? He was clearly injured a lot due to the illegal experiments. Humans are so bad...how could they still recognize them as partners?" Even most of the real information about mermaids recorded by the researcher was obtained from experiments on Qi.

Xi couldn't understand why Qi didn't hate him, but instead had too much dependence on him. This was not normal.

"Hey, don't attack indiscriminately. At least we are friendly now." Barry scratched his head and felt that he was an innocent victim. It was a waste of his time helping the red-haired mermaid and always caring about whether he needed sea water.

“…Sorry, I didn’t mean you.” Realizing that his words were not precise, Xi blinked and apologized to Barry.

"You've been running around for a long time, go back and rest first, I'll go see him later."

"Yes." His Highness took her concerns seriously, and Xi's worries eased a little. Mermaids respect the royal family, and with His Highness's persuasion, Qi will probably change her mind.

Land is not a place for mermaids to survive. Human society is full of intrigue and deception, which is not suitable for the mermaids who are honest by nature.

During this trip, Xi witnessed too many dark thoughts of human beings, and inevitably became more wary of strangers.

"Your Highness, Eamon and Terrence in prison want to see you." Although he changed his words in front of outsiders, Barry still felt that it was more convenient to call him His Highness, as he had done for decades.

However, in the past few days, it is time to adapt to changing the way of speaking.

"Got it. I'll be there later." Imitating You Mu's way of speaking, Agonas tilted his head, picked up a piece of grilled meat with a fork, and brought it to You Mu's mouth. After seeing that he had eaten it safely, he took a handkerchief and considerately wiped the oil stains on the corners of his lips.

"...Yes, I'll take my leave." Barry wisely left the room which could not accommodate a third person, unwilling to act as a light bulb that burst the ambiguous bubble.

"The researcher Xi mentioned did get a lot of first-hand information from the mermaid. Fortunately, we seized the information before he could pass it on. I have destroyed the things. How should Amu reward me?"

The number of mermaids is small and Tislanton is just a city. Too much detailed and thorough information is not a good thing for mermaids.

Illegal experiments are against morality and humanity, too ruthless and cruel. These things that affect people's values ​​should not be publicized.

You Mu took a sip of red wine and hooked his finger at Argonas after hearing this.

The latter understood and leaned forward in a low posture, his chin lifted by the fingertips with residual warmth, and the mermaid's overly soft lips came close, and the kiss mixed with alcohol and accompanied by red wine came over.

"Is this reward enough?" Even though he did not deliberately mention the laboratory's handling methods, Argonas did carefully consider it from his perspective and standpoint.

He is happy to reward obedient puppies.

The wine stained his thin lips, and there was a unique fragrance of mermaid between his lips and teeth. This fragrance faded a lot after the two of them blended, but Argonas could always smell it.

“…Not enough.” Agonas licked his lower lip stained with wine with the tip of his tongue, but he was not satisfied. He snatched the goblet from You Mu’s hand, drank the rest of it, and took the initiative to press forward.

The wine rolled in the mouth, and the part that could not be contained flowed down the corners of the lips along the sides of the neck, across the collarbone and into the lapels. Kisses, light or heavy, followed the trajectory of the red wine all the way down.

"Okay, move your head away."

Two buttons were torn off and things were about to get out of control. You Mu braked in time and pushed away Agonas, who was too obsessed and even reacted.

"..." Agonas, who was pushed away and leaning back in the chair, was a little depressed. He couldn't understand why his lover was always too sober.

It was obvious that the rich aroma of passion was already rushing out.

"I'm going to go see Qi that Xi brought back. You go about your business." Standing up and buttoning his collar, You Mu adjusted his voice and walked out without any sign of reluctance.

"...Oh." Argonas crossed his legs, lay down on the chair, and carefully recalled the experimental data about mermaids.

Doesn’t it say above that mermaids in the susceptible period are more sensitive than usual, will be very dependent on the scent of their partner, and want to stick to their partner all the time?

That Qi treated the researcher who conducted the experiment on him as his partner, as if he could not bear to be separated from her for even a second. When they were separated, he was so emotional that he could not express it in words, and it did not seem like he was acting.

This situation is not suitable for the royal mermaids?
