Mermaid [Interstellar]

Finally, His Excellency the Duke came to a conclusion and stamped the unexpected incident last night: "No matter what, it's fine."

Pelton paused, feeling that he should still say thanks: "Thank you sir last night—"

"No need." The Duchess didn't turn her head, and only said, "You have a good rest."

So that figure last night was Duke Alice?

Pearl secretly guessed in his heart.

Before Alice walked out completely, Pearl whispered to Julie, "I feel, I feel a little uncomfortable."

Julie was surprised: "What else is uncomfortable?"

Alice, who stepped out of the door with one foot, moved slowly: "If you need anything, just ask George."

George on the side: "..."

Pearl: "Speaking of which, Dr. Julie, how did you find out what happened to me last night?"

Julie: "???"

She glanced at Alice secretly, and chose a safer answer: "Butler George asked me to come."

George: "..."

"Cough cough—" Alice coughed a few times, "Last night I had something urgent to deal with, and I heard a noise when I was passing by. You...why are you uncomfortable?"

Pearl: "I feel a little bored."

"George, open the window."

George and Julie went to open the window together.

Pearl nodded: "Thank you."

"Have a good rest." Alice finally left this time.

After checking Pearl's body, Julie went to find Alice.

"Judging from the physical data, Pearl meets the standard of a normal mermaid." She spread out the data, "But Pearl is not a real mermaid, she was a half-mermaid in human form before, and it can only be said that she contains Mermaid blood. My experimental transformation was an idea a long time ago, but I never had the chance to realize it. You let me realize my dream."

Alice: "To be clear, the experiment failed?"

Julie pursed her lips: "I can't say, this is the first time after all. Pearl's physical feelings indicate that there may be... a problem with our experiment."

Alice: "Can it be solved? How much money is not a problem."

Julie: "Your Excellency, I will naturally do my best. But, I hope you can understand one thing, I am for Yun Haixing, not for your money."

"...Sorry, it's just such a big experimental project..." Alice lowered her eyes, "At the beginning, the royal family exterminated all the mermaids on Yunhaixing, even the half-merfolk with mermaid blood. Pearl was in human form at the time, and she Compared to that, the risk of me sending you out is greater."

Julie bowed: "I am very grateful to you. I know that you have taken a huge risk to keep the two of us. Although you have selfish intentions, I still thank you for saving my bloodline for Yunhaixing."

She hesitated for a moment, and said, "I heard that the old Duke objected at that time... You know that you have tried your best, and no matter what, I will do my best."

Alice's eyes were a little distracted, and her voice was lazy: "His objection was proved to be wrong. The matter of Yun Haixing...isn't that simple."

Julie was startled, and her heart skipped a beat. It is said that the old duke was attacked and killed by a rebellious mermaid in Yunhaixing, but Alice's tone didn't seem to be the case, and Alice's actions showed her respect for Yunhai. The star merman is not so disgusting either.

——It doesn't look like you are facing the murder of your father and enemy.

She still wanted to hear what Alice would say, but she was dismissed: "I still say the same thing, just say what you need, Pearl is the most important."

Alice sent Pearl's lunch.

"Why did you come in person?" Pearl got off the terminal, "It's too much trouble for you."

Alice glanced at the terminal that restored the original standby screen: "Come and see you, what are you doing?"

Pearl: "Last night, I seemed to press the terminal in a daze. I don't know if I pressed any strange buttons and sent someone a harassing message."

"Your end-quality design is okay, it shouldn't be."

"It seems to be true-your terminal looks like mine."

Alice raised her wrist. The terminal on it was not the same as Pearl's, but it was basically the same. It must have been used for a long time, and part of the outer paint had peeled off, exposing the inner metal surface.

Alice said lightly: "It's easy to use, and I haven't changed it. These years, the development of the terminal has been biased towards internal software upgrades, and the appearance has not changed much. If necessary, just install a plug-in at most."

All morning, Pearl was fiddling with her terminal. She remembered that she pressed a call last night, and it seemed to be connected there, but there was no record when she woke up.

It shouldn't be. According to regulations, the terminal will set up an emergency contact, which can be dialed in a critical moment. Like Pearl's situation last night, the terminal will judge that she is in danger, and it is right to dial the emergency contact.

Pearl's own emergency contact is Big Sister.

The standby record of the terminal last night is that everything is normal, and there is no call record.

Pearl picked up her lunch and saw that it was two, and looked up at Alice to see that she had been looking elsewhere.

Waiting for her invitation to lunch?

Pearl was taken aback by his own thought, and then felt that if Alice didn't come to eat with her, it seemed unreasonable to take two meals...

Pearl tentatively asked, "Shall we have dinner together?"

"Okay." His Excellency the Duke moved quickly, and moved a chair to sit next to Pearl.

Pearl: "..."

The two finished their lunch in silence.

As soon as the lunch was over, Alice called George to come and pack the tableware, and she got up and closed the window for her.

Alice: "It seems to cool down in the afternoon, too much wind is not good."

Pearl: "...I'm a mermaid..." As long as it's not extremely cold, it's nothing to her.

Alice was taken aback: "Sorry, I forgot."

The Duchess seemed a little at a loss, staring blankly at Pearl's fishtail, and was stunned.

Pearl: "Your Excellency?"

Alice reacted abruptly: "Sorry."

sorry for what?Pearl thought blankly.

In fact, it is very impolite to look directly at the mermaid's tail, but judging by the Duke's appearance, he doesn't seem to know.

She must be careless...

"I—" Pearl was about to say something when she felt a burning pain in her tail. She shook her body but couldn't restrain the pain. The strength of the mermaid's tail is very fierce, and Pearl couldn't control it. Directly shattered the furniture on the side!

"Pearl!" Alice was really at a loss. She wanted to squat down and hug Pearl, but as soon as she got close, Pearl pushed her away with her fish tail. The scales flew and scraped hard on Alice's arm. On the skin of □□, red marks appeared immediately.

Alice gritted her teeth against Pearl's resistance and held Pearl's upper body, dragging her away from the pieces of furniture so she wouldn't get scratched by them.

"Dr. Julie, come here quickly!" As soon as the terminal was connected, Alice only had time to say this before she was slapped away by Pearl and pushed to the ground.

Pearl's mind has long been confused, and she can only feel someone shaking in front of her eyes with the blurred light and shadow.

What an eyesore...

Flick your tail and go away!

The figure couldn't be shaken away, but kept following him like a shadow. Pearl rushed up to him irritably, pressing down on that person.

Out of sight out of mind.

This is what Julie and George saw when they arrived.

The clothes of the two were disheveled, and Pearl even pressed Alice to prevent her from moving. The furniture ornaments were broken, and the floor was in a mess.

The two work together to pull Pearl away from Alice, and Julie directs George to go to the bath to release the water. In many cases, water is the best place for mermaids to recuperate.

"Come on, I'll carry Pearl over." Erwin also heard the sound.

Alice pushed him away and took a deep breath: "No, I'll do it."

Erwin hid the surprise in his eyes, and stepped back slightly to make way for Alice.

Pearl continued to struggle, Alice carried her step by step to the bathroom, George stood aside to protect her, and Julie kept watching closely.

As soon as she touched the water, Pearl slid down obediently, lay comfortably in the water, and no longer made a fuss when she swam around.

Alice was drenched in sweat, took the handkerchief from George, and said hoarsely, "Julie, Pearl..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw that the clothes that Pearl had just tidied outside were torn apart by her again.

George: "..."

Julie: "..."

Alice: "........."

The two voluntarily backed out knowingly, and stopped Erwin who wanted to look inside.

Alice sighed softly: "It's really troublesome."

She stood by the bath, watching Pearl swimming in the water, the water was rippling, her blond hair was flying, and her blue eyes kept looking at Alice.

After an unknown amount of time, Pearl stopped slowly. She slowly approached Alice and stretched out her hand.

"What are you going to do?" Alice said softly.

As soon as Pearl took Alice's hand, he dragged people down!

Alice was caught off guard and was directly dragged down by Pearl—being pushed down again.

Alice choked a few saliva: "..."

She tried to wake up Pearl's reason: "Pearl, do you still know me?"

Pearl didn't speak, and pressed Alice against the wall of the pool, his nose twitched, his head buried in Alice's hair, and he held her in his arms without letting go.

Alice was drenched all over, and her clothes were aggravated by the soaking in water. In addition, she had consumed a lot of energy when she was entangled with Pearl just now, and now she felt even more exhausted.

Her body couldn't help wanting to go limp, if it wasn't for Pearl supporting her, she could sink to the bottom of the water.

Pearl hugged her for a long time, and Alice only felt that she was so weak that she was about to pass out.

"Alice...Alice..." She murmured in a low voice, her tail swung slowly, and a pair of white jade-like legs slowly emerged.

"Alice...Alice...let go of me, you can go alone..." In my memory, that's what the person in my arms said on that bloody day.
