Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: First Intimate Contact (Part 1)

It is better to bully the old than the young. You can never know what kind of achievements a young person will make in the future.

"Caesar, Caesar, give me another bottle here." The one who shouted loudly was the giant Khan of the Sheou tribe, a tribe affiliated with the mermaids. He was born with shell armor on his body and was a natural aquatic warrior.

Caesar was busy and happy in the tavern, spending the whole day with an old man and a group of ugly sea monsters. He found any sea creatures very interesting and friendly. It was because of his enthusiasm that the kid was able to stay in the tavern.

"Uncle Dogo, is there any interesting news today?"

Caesar likes listening to stories very much, of course not those old-fashioned ones from old men. He can hear new things every day in the tavern. Dogo is a member of the Mermaid King City Guard and always knows some gossip.

"Go, go, I'm still innocent, I'm not an uncle, I'm a big brother."

A burst of cheerful laughter broke out in the tavern. Since the arrival of this little kid, the atmosphere in the tavern has become much more lively. Everyone likes to tease him, even though he is just a powerless Sheou.

The Sheou tribe is a tribe of commoners. Because they are born with shell armor, they produce many powerful warriors, but occasionally there are also some ordinary people, just like Caesar. In everyone's eyes, he is a powerless Sheou tribe member. You must know that in the sea tribe that advocates the use of force, especially for a commoner, if he has no power, then there is no hope in his life. However, Caesar himself is very open-minded.

"I have something important to tell you. You've noticed that it's been quite lively recently, right? That's because the third princess of the Sea Dragon Clan is going to visit our Mermaid Clan tomorrow. We've been extremely busy lately. This is my last meal before I change shifts. I don't know when she'll come next time!"

"Ah, it's the Sea Dragon Clan, known as the most perfect clan among the six royal clans that practice both magic and martial arts?"

"Yes, among our sea tribe, the mermaid royal family are almost all magicians, and the giant whale tribe are almost all terrifying and violent warriors!"

"The third princess? She doesn't look that old. What are you doing here?"

"Alas, it's just the affairs of the nobles. It has nothing to do with us commoners."

"Hey, Duoge, why are you so stern? They are holding their own meetings and you are guarding your doors. Is there anyone who is so bored that he dares to cause trouble for the Sea Dragon Clan in the territory of the Mermaid Clan?"

Everyone nodded repeatedly. Even during the Shenyue War, the terrifying water magic of the mermaids and the super combat power of the sea dragons made the main races suffer. The most terrifying thing was that these two races were amphibious and could adapt to land battles better than other sea races. This was also the reason why the two races had a higher status.

"Well, no one bothered them, but they bothered us. You know our little princess and her temper... Well, the third princess of the sea dragon tribe is not easy to deal with either. She has warned us a hundred times before she even got here. I don't know if I will be able to survive after this one."

Hearing Dogo's hesitant look, everyone immediately understood that the mermaids are the representatives of natural beauty, which is recognized by the entire continent and the ocean. The little Princess Clara is the embodiment of beauty and the little angel in the eyes of all sea creatures. The Mermaid King has only this one daughter, so naturally he loves her very much. The result can be imagined by everyone.

Only Caesar was confused, but the others didn't care and thought he was a country boy. To be honest, this tavern was on the edge of the royal city, and Caesar had never passed through the city... because he didn't have an ID card and couldn't enter the royal city.

But I heard that the third princess of the sea dragon clan is also extremely beautiful, and she is also a genius of the dragon clan. She showed extraordinary magic control ability and strength at the age of nine, and was deeply loved by the Dragon King.

You can imagine the two witches meeting each other, and they are at loggerheads with each other, and the people below are the ones who suffer.

"Lao Duo, don't think too much. Whether you can see the princess is still a question. You just think about good things all day long. I will accept it if I can be tortured by such a little beauty, haha."

"Come on, come on, let's not talk about state affairs, let's drink."

"Ah, how come a bottle of my treasured XO is missing? Who stole it and drank it? My 500 gold coins are gone!" The boss was almost in a hysterical state. That was the human wine he bought at an auction at a high price. Damn it, sea bear.

When Caesar heard this, he almost fell under the table. Five hundred gold coins, Poseidon, he could never afford to pay them back in his lifetime. You know, he only got one silver coin for working here a month, and one gold coin could be exchanged for one hundred silver coins.

Should I apply oil to my feet?

"Caesar, little She boy, is that you? Where are you?" The exasperated boss suddenly remembered that he had asked Caesar to move wine from the wine cellar yesterday, which was to be presented to the royal collection. Although the tavern was not big, the wine here was very famous.

By this time Caesar had already disappeared without a trace. Boss, don't blame me entirely. The old man drank the most.

He had to hide well for the rest of his life. He couldn't get out. The most dangerous place was also the safest. Caesar ran back to the wine cellar and got into an empty barrel. Now all he could do was to ask Poseidon, the god of the sea, to give him some face and save a soul in distress.

The boss' temper did not fully erupt, because the transport team from the royal city had arrived. They were going to transport the fine wine purchased from various places back to the palace.

Caesar felt like vomiting from being carried up and down, but his life was at stake, so he could only stay there obediently until everything calmed down. The old man had taught him a lot of survival experience, and in order to make sure the surroundings were safe, he would rather stay a little longer. Perhaps because of the aroma of the wine, he fell asleep in a daze.

At this time, the Mermaid King City outside - Casablanca was extremely lively, with rows of honor guards, flower ceremonies, and cheering crowds. All of this was dedicated to the third princess of the Sea Dragon clan, Alina.

On the first day of her arrival, the first thing the princess had to do was to meet countless princes and nobles, wealthy sea businessmen, as well as the principal and student representatives of the Mermaid Magic Academy. As one of the four major academies, and having provided countless talents to the kingdom, its status is naturally different.

Anyway, throughout the entire banquet, the little princess only did one thing, which was to repeat over and over again: Hello, nice to meet you.

I don't know how many times I said it before the banquet ended. Anyway, Elena couldn't remember what happened above. She would rather face a super-class mermaid than those people.

The third princess lying on the bed was a little dazed. Her hateful father came up with such a trick just because she didn't want to get engaged. Humph, she would not be discouraged!

"Your Highness, here is your schedule for tomorrow. You will get up at six in the morning and have breakfast with the mermaid king's little princess Clara at half past six. During this time, you will have an hour to become friends with her."

"Who, that little girl who causes trouble all the time?"

"Your Highness, please be careful with your words. You are not a little girl, but Princess Clara. You are now the king's representative. You must always be careful with your words and actions. Be dignified, calm, generous, and decent..."

"Stop, stop, stop, Your Excellency the Palace Etiquette Officer, I know what you are saying, so please stop talking about it!"

Alina could imagine her father laughing. He must be very proud now. The women of the Taote Turtle Clan are the most patient. She can make even a sharp stone round.

"Yes, next, we will formally pay a visit to the mermaid queen at 8:30, and then drink tea, watch dances and admire corals together, at 9:30..."

Alina was completely numb and couldn't hear anything. Her only wish now was to release a super magic to blow everything around her up into the sky!

Of course, this is impossible.

The etiquette officer of the Taote Turtle tribe finally noticed the princess's fatigue and reluctantly stopped the rest of the schedule. "Princess, please go to bed early. I will report to you tomorrow morning."
