Ariel left the palace early this morning. As a guest invited by the prince temporarily staying in the palace, Ariel has a certain degree of freedom to come and go. In addition, she likes to show a sweet smile to everyone, as well as her sweet voice and With her beautiful appearance, Ariel gained a lot of popularity in just a few days.Even if the guards at the gate saw her more times, it would be easier to let people in and out of the palace. Besides, how dangerous would a beautiful girl who only wears a long skirt and doesn't bring anything fancy be so dangerous.Not only that, but also often tell Ariel where the scenery is beautiful, what stores are cheap and so on.

This morning was still the same as usual, Ariel walked happily towards the market with a few coins, she would go there every day, and then buy a bunch of useful or useless things back, the stalls in the market are special There are many, all kinds of strange things, even if I go to see it every day, Ariel still feels that she can't finish it.

Stopping in front of a shop selling clothes, Ariel stared curiously at the gorgeous long dresses of various colors, without taking her eyes off her eyes.

While Ariel was chatting with the owner with a smile, a ragged teenager ran over and knocked down the clothes rack hanging outside.

"Hey, be careful." Some fat shopkeepers immediately said while supporting the crumbling clothes racks.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, I... oh, my God, you're here." The boy turned his head and saw Ariel, looking at her, "Your name is Ariel?"

"Yes." Ariel nodded.

"Ariel who was brought back to the palace by the princess?" the boy asked again.

"I think you mean me." Ariel nodded.

"Very good, someone asked me to bring you a sentence. The man who was with you was arrested by the guards of the palace and suspected him of stealing." The boy raised his head and said to Ariel, "The princess is a person who is easy to soften her heart." People, if the man's lovely sister is willing to intercede, the princess may agree to let him go."

Ariel opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Stealing, how is this possible?"

"I don't know if it's been stolen or not. I'm only in charge of passing on the message." The boy said, "Now I'll tell you, if someone asks you, you have to say that a boy named Hank has completed his message, so I can bring I don't have to give back that silver coin I got. That's it, bye."

After the boy finished speaking, he ran away like a jerk.

Ariel's eyes widened, still out of the ordinary.

"My God, stealing, this is a very serious crime. The hand he used to steal will be chopped off." The shopkeeper opened his mouth in shock, and looked at Ariel with pity, "You'd better follow that The boy said, go to your man's sister and plead with the princess. Maybe he can keep his hand."

"What about me, will I be punished too?" Ariel asked.

"Of course not, as long as you have done nothing wrong, even if your own brother or parents committed a crime, the guilt will not be placed on you. But theft, if the stolen things are not found, you will be responsible for compensation." The shopkeeper replied.

"How much do you pay?"

"Who knows, I don't know what was stolen." The shopkeeper waved his hand, "Aren't you going to find his sister?"

"I have no way to find it." Ariel shook her head, "I will intercede, but only after I finish shopping first."

"My God, don't you worry about him? Isn't he your husband, or your brother?"

"Neither." Ariel tilted her head and smiled, "It wasn't me who had the accident, why should I be worried?"

The shop owner was stunned, this is really a cool girl, she looks so innocent and cute.

Ariel said that she would intercede after she had enjoyed herself, but in fact, she had been playing wildly outside for two days and did not return to the palace, let alone looking for a sister, and the prince was really anxious to wait in the palace for the past two days.

The princess is not so free, nor is she interested in following the progress of the prince and the person he admires at any time.She has been educated as a future queen since she announced to her parents that she does not intend to marry, and she has a lot to learn.

The first thing to pay attention to is the issue of maritime trade.

"Pirates have been rampant recently, and trade with other countries has become increasingly difficult. We may give up the sea route. As long as we establish friendly and cooperative relations with neighboring countries, we can use this to rebuild a safer and more stable land route." A dignitary said to the princess.

The princess looked at him suspiciously: "Pirates?"

"Yes, a group of shameless criminals who rob other people's wealth." The official said, "There is no need to worry about the rabble of reckless guys who flout the law. The most troublesome ones are the pirates who stand behind an army. Shameless way of looting wealth."

"The rabble is also troublesome. I heard that there was a man who was raised by sea monsters. He was born with strange strength and preferred to smash ships." A man with a goatee said in a low voice.

"Natural power? Never heard of it."

"One of my boats was smashed by those guys." Goatee shook his head and said, "Fortunately, it's just a water test boat, with no cargo and not many people. That man has some skills, but it seems that he is not very skilled in hijacking boats. Probably not often to hijack a ship."

"Pirates who don't like to rob ships? Are there such pirates? I really have never seen them. Even if there are, since they don't like to rob, then don't worry about them."

The princess who had been listening silently interrupted suddenly and asked, "Your ship was hijacked? When?"

"Five days ago."

"where?"

"Dozens of nautical miles away from the coast." Goatee said.It sounds not close, but in fact, even if it floats along the sea, two or three days is enough to reach the coast.

The princess's expression suddenly became a bit ugly: "Today and tonight, the ship from the neighboring country is about to arrive."

Everyone looked at the princess.

"Tomorrow, they will pick up the neighboring prince." The princess said, "Pirates, are you still here?"

The scene suddenly became silent.

This is indeed a problem.
