After the fairy tale roles have been swapped

Chapter 6 The Mermaid and the Coming Out Prince

The history of homophobia can be traced back to the period of church rule, when the church was the supreme ruler of the kingdom, and the royal family was subordinate to the church.The church holds the country's economic, political and military power, and even the king's next successor must be appointed by the church. The church is not only the supreme ruler of the secular society, but also a religious leader. The bridge, the church declares that the gods created all things, and everyone in the kingdom is a devout believer, and only the church has the highest interpretation of all secular religious affairs.

During the reign of the church, many prohibitions that now seem incredible were issued, including same-sex love.It is a grave sin, contrary to the laws of nature, and inherently immoral, as the Church interprets it.Correspondingly, there are also a series of punishment measures, depending on the severity of the circumstances.

The church’s explicit punishment measures have gradually changed in the process of dissemination, and folks have spontaneously derived interpretations to form more insane and heinous punishment methods, such as confinement, torture, life-long exile, physical persecution and even burning, only the part that has been handed down It's frightening.It was a very dark and depressing time.

Over time, the church's influence gradually declined.Because they collected money crazily and greedily, they even said that everyone must pay tribute to the church in order to obtain salvation.The nobles hated them for their insatiable greed, and the commoners suffered from even worse exploitation.You can't live a good life in this life, so what if you live a good life in the next life, anyway, you can't see it!The church's desperate act of accumulating money aroused public outrage. After a long struggle, the church declined and had to hand over the supremacy to the royal family, down to the nobles who owned fiefs, large and small.

The ordinance against same-sex love was abolished at the same time as some other ecclesiastical ordinances, but the influence among the people remained.It will take a long time to eliminate these antiquated regulations.

Compared with eliminating the rules and regulations hidden in people's minds and the inherent concepts formed in the subtle influence of long-term life, the more than ten years it took to get rid of the rules and regulations on paper can be called short.

It can’t be blamed entirely on the influence of the church. If you want to get to the bottom of it, how can there be homophobia? It’s as subtle as why someone likes the same sex in the world. Innate factors, acquired environmental influences, no one can say absolutely s answer.

The prince looked at the people present. His heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface. Since it was the topic he ignited, he was the one to end it in the end.

"Thank you very much for coming. Everyone is caring. My birthday celebration is over. No matter what you think, it is over. Please go back to your room to rest. The ship is on its way back and is expected to return to the shore late at night. "Then some people left the scene directly, some said some words of blessing to the prince, and they dispersed.

After the crowd dispersed, the lively celebration scene was instantly deserted. The prince stayed alone on the deck, blowing the sea breeze, thinking about many things and what to do in the future. The only thing he was sure of was that he had no regrets. If he didn't speak out today, he might never have the chance in the future.

A faint singing voice sounded, low and sad, and the prince hummed softly, tapping the beat on the railing with his fingers.It is much more comfortable to sing when there is no one around. He doesn't have to think about what kind of song content and emotional color he will present to others.He is the singer but also his audience.

The golden fish tail flashed across the sea, and just when the prince thought his vision was wrong, a blond man surfaced.The singing stopped abruptly, and the prince and the man who suddenly appeared faced each other across the sea, speechless.

"You are?" the prince spoke first.

The mermaid man shook his head slightly, and his long golden hair was thrown back with his movement, pouring down like a golden waterfall.The mermaid man seemed to say something, but the prince couldn't hear it.

Dika could hear the prince's words, and the mermaid's hearing was much better than that of humans.

"Are you a mermaid?" The prince thought of the rumors that fishermen by the sea went out to catch creatures with human bodies and fish tails. They swim extremely fast in the water and are called mermaids.

Dika swung his tail out of the water so that the prince could see it. Praise me quickly if it looks good or not.Showing off his fishtail with the mentality of showing off, Dika smiled with satisfaction when he caught the flash of surprise on the prince's face.

"It's really a mermaid, isn't it a species of mermaid that doesn't like to be in contact with humans?" Facing the blond-haired mermaid, the prince spoke more relaxedly

"I'm very distressed." The prince confides to the mermaid what happened today, revealing his long-hidden secrets, his thoughts and troubled emotions at the moment.He can't tell others, but he doesn't have too many scruples about telling mermaids.

Dika listened carefully. He heard the singing coming from the water, and then heard the noisy sound of the coming out scene on the boat. The prince announced that the celebration was over.At this time, listening to the prince's narration of the whole process, he gradually understood the whole story.If the prince is by his side, he really wants to comfort the prince at this moment and give him support.

At this time, Dika sensed the abnormal changes in the depths of the ocean, and his face changed drastically, "The shipwreck is approaching, you should go back to the shore quickly." He pointed anxiously at the sea area behind him

The prince didn't understand what he meant. "You mean your home is over there?"

Dika shook his head desperately, and pointed to the shore to signal the prince to get the boat ashore as soon as possible.Seeing that the prince was still in a ignorant state, Dika was anxious. The mermaid has the ability to manipulate the water flow in a small area, and several water jets stirred up and twisted in mid-air to form the words "Go ashore soon".

The prince finally understood what the mermaid meant. From his anxious expression and actions, he could tell that the situation was serious. Although he didn't know where the danger came from, he still ordered the captain to land as soon as possible.Soon he understood why, the tens of meters high waves were like a wall of water, the huge power showed the power of nature, the huge force was unstoppable.

The wind is howling, the rain is pouring, and the weather changes as soon as it changes.

The ship was bumping in the wind and waves, and everyone on board was panicked, and no one knew what happened.The prince calmed down, "Everyone stay in the house and don't come out." On the way back to the cabin, one after another huge waves hit the boat and the prince accidentally fell into the water.

The water can't compete with the force of nature, the prince struggled after falling into the water, and was often thrown back underwater by the waves shortly after surfacing.Dika swam to the prince with difficulty, and the prince almost lost his strength and was in a coma, struggling with willpower. "Hey, hold on. We're getting close to shore," Dika said

Before he passed out completely, the prince was vaguely aware of the strong and powerful arms surrounding him, and what hugged him was a male body with eight-pack abs. The prince lost consciousness and leaned on his shoulders.Dika freed a hand to protect him and swam to the shore.

Huge waves are raging and menacing. At this time, even if the mermaid is familiar with the water, they can't move against the current. Don't be in a hurry. Go with the current and go to a safe place first.

Dika is fine, he is worried about whether the prince can hold on.

Often when a huge wave hits, both of them are drenched, sea water pours into the prince's nostrils, and the mermaid desperately protects him and swims all the way to the shore.

Mermaids are not afraid of sea water, the ocean is like a moody god, sometimes calm and sometimes rough, it all depends on the mood.The sea is his home, his hometown, who is not familiar with his home, what he worries about is whether the prince can withstand the impact of the waves, and whether something will happen to him.

The waves took the two of them away, and they stayed away from the boat, and swam to a low sea cliff cave. The mermaid Dika turned over and entered the cave with the help of the protruding stones at the entrance of the cave.The prince was unconscious, coughing loudly, the mermaid hesitated for a moment and lowered her head to kiss him, sucking out the sea water he choked.

"It's okay," Dika stroked his cheek "wake up soon"

The prince regained consciousness and slowly opened his eyes. First, he saw the golden fish tail half-soaked in the sea water. His eyes moved upwards. The upper body of the male mermaid was not covered with any strands of hair. His muscles were clearly defined and his eight-pack abdominal muscles were clearly visible. Cough cough, the prince moved Opening his eyes, he raised his hand and touched his nose with difficulty, but fortunately there was no nosebleed.

"You're awake, good." Dika said, "Come and drink some water, and open your mouth."

Human beings cannot drink the salty water in the sea directly. The so-called drinking water is the leaves of a plant that Dika found somewhere.

"Thank you for saving me and the entire crew. If you hadn't warned in time, the entire crew might have been swallowed by the sea." The moment the prince fell into the water, there was no hope of returning to the boat. He thought he was dead, and had been intimate with the sea many times. Contact, being supported by the sea water until someone hugged him, saying it was an illusion, it seemed too real, he leaned on the man's chest, and seemed to touch it with his hands, it was lower than human body temperature but much warmer than sea water , inexplicably feel at ease.

"You're welcome, the ship has entered a safe area, and the lights in the port should be ready to receive the people on board."

"That's it, that's great." The prince closed his eyes and then opened them. The cold and damp environment in the cave was uncomfortable. "I still don't know your name?"

"Dika, what about you, Your Highness—"

"Ino" This is the first time the two have exchanged names

The storm on the sea outside never stopped, the sound of rain and waves kept coming in, and the rising sea water was about to engulf the entrance of the cave.Dika reacted, "Go to a higher place, the sea water here has risen again."

Ino got up on the ground with his hands, Dika was anxious and picked him up with one hand, and used the other hand as a support point to send him to a place where the sea water could not spread, and then retreated into the sea water, the whole movement was done in one go.

Ino said, "Aren't you coming?"

"No, the mermaid should stay where there is water." Dika's tail was in the sea water, and his upper body was exposed on the high ground without water.

The mermaid's eyes are so bright that one can't help but fall into it.The prince quietly looked away, unable to face Dika squarely, such a perfect figure in front of him was simply a crime of temptation.

"Your Highness, are you serious when you say you like the same sex?"

The words brought Eno back to reality from his fantasies, "Yes" Eno did not want to dwell on this issue

He didn't notice that Dika's eyes lit up instantly, and he asked, "Why?"

"Couldn't tell, I haven't told anyone since I realized it, until today"

"Haven't you thought about finding a partner, or someone you like?"

"Think about it, that's for the future, I haven't thought about it yet." The voice became smaller and smaller, and Yinuo closed his eyes as he said, he was exhausted physically and mentally after falling into the water, "I want to sleep"

Well, Dika reluctantly gave up the conversation. He still has a lot to say to Ino, and it seems that he can only save it until tomorrow.
