The perfect substitute

Acting dramatized the bubble.

Alas, if Siddell knew that she didn't love the prince at all, and even wanted to smear his face with mud, would she sacrifice herself to "fulfill" her wish of becoming a human being in pursuit of love.

"Ann..." Andrew glanced at Helena, who was completely distracted, and watched her unconsciously show nostalgia, and couldn't help clenching his right hand into a fist.

Who is she missing?Who is she missing?She is by his side now, from her hair to her heels, every inch of her skin has been seen by him, does she come here with a purpose, but now she is distracted in front of him?

Oh... very good, really... very good!

Andrew suddenly held Helena's hand tightly, almost crushing her with such force.The intense pain came suddenly, and Helena subconsciously exclaimed, and quickly covered her mouth.

Andrew watched her concealment, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.His gaze moved from top to bottom, and finally landed on her bleeding feet, seeing the blood flowing from those delicate and beautiful jade feet, like red roses blooming in the snow, his mood suddenly had an indescribable complex feeling .

"Stop—let's camp here!" Abandoning the original plan of climbing to the highest peak, Andrew took Helena's hand and walked through the jungle towards Qingtan not far ahead.He has been here many times, and he knows that there are springs flowing here, converging into a pool of water that is not too big or small. Although it is a waste to clean the wound, but now he doesn't care so much.

This woman who would rather torture herself than beg him!It's...hateful!Andrew clenched his hands again, but this time he couldn't hear any exclamation, only a faint panting.

"...You go and take care of yourself. Although the weather is still a bit cold, taking a bath is good for the wound." After Andrew said these words in a blunt tone, he walked away through the woods without looking back. Helena was left standing there in a daze, looking at the clear spring and pool of water in front of her, undecided.

She is the little mermaid, as long as there is water, she can lead to the sea. She can see that the pool here is very deep, and it is very possible to reach the sea, but... now she...

Squatting down with a complex expression, Helena touched the pool of water with her hands, and looked at the ripples, and the whole person became in a trance.

Standing up straight, removing her clothes with light and graceful movements, Helena stepped on the surrounding stones and stepped into the pool step by step.

The water in the pool is deep and clear, allowing her to see her own reflection clearly and see the red silk floating on the water.

"Hiss—" The severe pain caused by the pulling of the wound, even Helena, who claimed to be invincible in all seas, couldn't help but drop a bean-sized cold sweat.Hugging her body tightly and slowly submerging in the pool, Helena closed her eyes slightly, forcing herself not to think about her bloody feet, not to feel her painful legs without even moving, and even floating on her pale face like snow. A smile.

"..." Andrew stood behind the thick tree trunk, and the dense leaves covered his body, so that he was not noticed by Helena.He looked at Helena with a smile on her face, as if there was no trace of resentment, and complex emotions appeared in his eyes.

He was clearly making things difficult for her on purpose, and he even put on a savior attitude. Why can she still laugh like this?How could he smile so calmly and peacefully?What is her plan here?If her goal was herself, why didn't she speak.But he remembered very clearly that she said to him through gnash of teeth in a voice like the sounds of nature, "Next time we meet, either you will die or I will die."

But with her current appearance, it doesn't look like she wants to trouble him, she clearly loves him so much that she forgets the pain in her body, loves him so much that she loses herself! ! !

He didn't know where her fish tail had gone, but she was a goblin who could confuse human beings. Didn't she come all the way here to find him because of his sincerity and want to be favored by him?However, she refused to look directly into his eyes, refused to have a serious talk with him, and thought about the distance from time to time, what was the reason for this?

Could it be... did she regret coming to his side, regret pursuing him desperately?

No—how could she regret it!He will never allow her to regret it! !

Andrew grabbed the tree trunk so hard that his nails even got embedded in the tree trunk.He fixedly stared at Helena for a long time, and finally turned and left here.

He needs to think carefully about what to do with her... This little fairy who makes people feel uncomfortable...

*****

Seeing Helena's innocent smiling face and Andrew's hesitant and struggling expression through the water mirror, Siddell, who was alone in the bedroom, wiped away those images and raised his hands to cover his eyes , with a mocking smile on his lips.

"...Is falling in love with a man who tortures you like this the future you want to pursue? For him to give up 300 years of life, to give up the glory of being a mermaid princess, to give up the entire Saint Osiana... Helena, you... Too stupid……"

A sound almost like a sigh floated into the distance along the flowing water.Sidel touched his face, and the mocking smile on the corner of his lips became bitter.

"Actually... say she is stupid, I... am I the same? Even if she loves that human being, seeing her in such pain, I still feel unbearable, and feel heartbroken for her... Hai Lin Na..."

Siddell left suddenly from the shell bed, swung his beautiful fish tail, drifted away from the palace, and quietly left Andias without disturbing any guards.

*****

After returning from hunting in the mountains that day, Helena was sick for five full days. Because of being sick, she couldn’t blow the cold wind, and Andrew insisted repeatedly. A room with a big bed... Andrew's own bedroom.

"Your Highness, this is unreasonable! Absolutely not, absolutely not! You are about to marry Princess Alice of the neighboring country, and His Majesty the Emperor has also notified the minister to prepare a ship in the near future so that His Royal Highness can go to the neighboring country to meet with the princess. The princess got married successfully, but you are guarding a humble maid at such an important time, if this word gets out..."

"Hughlis! You have surpassed!" Andrew's cold eyes swept towards the minister, and his deep voice was full of oppression, "Although you are the minister that the emperor likes, it doesn't mean that you can dictate to my Highness arbitrarily. This is the prince's world, if you don't want to enjoy your old age so early, I advise you to wash your brain and think about what to say and what not to say!"

A series of words were thrown down one after another, and the minister had no room for retaliation. His eyes widened and he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to refute something, but in the end he could only wipe off his cold sweat, and bowed respectfully and said, "My minister is not feeling well. , I said something inappropriate just now, and I ask Your Highness to make amends..."

"It's good that you understand, step back." Andrew glanced at the minister coldly, raised his eyebrows to signal him to leave the bedroom, and sat back on the bedside again, staring at the unconscious Helena without blinking his eyes.

He is about to get married. This marriage was arranged for him by his father. He has no right or qualification to object, and he should not object due to emotion and reason.He understood that this marriage would bring wealth and glory to the kingdom, and it would be of great benefit and harmless, but for some reason, he suddenly wanted to see Helena after waking up, if he heard the news that he was about to get married , what kind of reaction will you make...

No matter whether she fell in love with herself or not, she always came for herself.So, if she found out about that marriage, what would she... do?

Clenching and loosening his fists, Andrew's expression changed several times, but in the end he just tucked in the corner of the quilt, stared deeply at Helena, and left the bedroom without looking back.

*****

In the end, Andrew didn't tell Helena directly about the marriage, but Helena found out soon after.Because Andrew's ship to the neighboring country has been prepared, she, who is marked as the prince's personal maid, naturally wants to go to the neighboring country with Prince Andrew.

She didn't overreact after hearing the news. Originally, she felt that she had always resisted the fate of turning into a bubble and bursting. If one day she really saw Andrew and the princess happy and sweet, she might become black on the spot and do something irreversible. , but when things came to an end, she found that she was far calmer than she imagined. Maybe... the reason why the witch chose her was because of her potential, which she couldn't even imagine... ruthless.

*****

"Angel——" Andrew hugged Helena in his arms, kissed her forehead regardless of her struggle, and messed up her honey-colored hair, seeing her eyes full of anger, the smile on her lips suddenly deepened, "I really like you the most!"

Andrew's sudden confession made Helena froze in place, looking up at him for a long time without saying a word.

Helena's reaction reassured Andrew. He let out a sigh of relief, his eyes were unprecedentedly gentle and affectionate, staring at Helena as if he were his true love, "Actually, I..."

"Your Highness! Something is wrong with Your Highness!"

The hurried guards broke into the house and called Andrew to speak anxiously.At the same time, Helena, who shook the god for a while, was fighting the system as a heavenly being.

[Ding——system task: Beautiful little mermaid, please turn into a gorgeous bubble on the day of the wedding!Please remember, this is an irresistible fateful love!If it violates the plot, it may cause unexpected cups and tableware!
