Chapter 64 Mermaid’s Tears
"Ah! Your Majesty, please don't! Come here quickly and don't get close to that monster."
"Damn monster, let go of the queen. Don't touch the most noble and pure rose of the dynasty with your dirty hands."
"If you dare to hurt the queen, you will be skinned and boned and dried like a fish."
Xiao Qianchuan suddenly came back to his senses. He shook his head indifferently at the threats. He sighed softly and was about to withdraw the hand held by the queen, but the other party stopped him at a word.
"Does it hurt?"
Xiao Qianchuan lowered his head and found that the gauze wrapped around his palm had been untied.
Maybe it was because of the mermaid's physique, but the skin on the back of his hand was so white that it was almost transparent, and the floating blue veins and tiny blood vessels were clearly visible, slender and fragile. The webbed fingers were already torn, and the lacerations were close to the base of the fingers.
How can it not hurt?
Xiao Qianchuan was in great pain!
But compared to the headache just now, this is really nothing. Xiao Qianchuan shook his head and his hand was clenched.
"Thank you! Thank you for saving me."
The sudden thank you made Xiao Qianchuan a little at a loss. The person in front of him frowned, and there was a tenderness in his eyes that was familiar yet unfamiliar to him.
It really seems!
Regardless of the voice and appearance, the other party's true feelings expressed from the heart almost made Xiao Qianchuan laugh back.
"Sister Yaoyao, I'm not in pain."
Looking past the queen, the smile that had just appeared on Xiao Qianchuan's lips instantly disappeared.
"Your Majesty! Don't be bewitched by it. Mermaids are the best at confusing people. Captain Ling, what are you doing? Bring the queen back quickly."
William seemed to have not expected the Queen to be so kind-hearted. He was a little angry and snatched the gun from the guard beside him and pointed it at the mermaid again.
"William, put the gun down!"
The Queen gave him a look, and no matter how unwilling he was, he had to obey her as her personal bodyguard. The guard officer could not control whether the eldest prince was willing or not, he had to carry out the Queen's orders.
"I'm sorry, Prince. Please give me back my gun."
The Queen let her trusted guard handle William's little mood, and her heart was only on the poor mermaid in front of her. She held the other's hand, but she almost didn't dare to use force.
"Don't be afraid! Tell me, where else are you injured?"
The little mermaid just shook her head, pulled back her hands and tightly grasped the blanket. Knowing that the other person might have more serious injuries, the queen made up her mind and directly lifted the blanket.
This sudden action scared everyone, who were afraid that the queen would anger the mermaid and be attacked crazily. But as the queen's hand movement froze, everyone was stunned.
The maids covered their mouths but still couldn't stop screaming. Several noble ladies turned their heads away, unable to bear to watch. Even the iron-blooded guards frowned. Captain Ling clenched his fists, his eyes dark.
Silvery white is recognized as the most noble and purest color, because it is consistent with the holy robes of the dynasty bishops. Unique and inviolable! This mermaid was born with a tail of this color, and is simply the favorite of the gods.
But the silver-white tail, which should have been perfect, was covered with bloody wounds.
Large pieces of fish scales seemed to have been scraped off alive, revealing tender flesh that was red enough to bleed, as if it would bleed profusely if poked lightly. Purple whip marks followed the curve of the opponent's back and disappeared into the hem of the shirt, making people dare not follow them.
These injuries were obviously man-made, and the method was extremely cruel.
When people saw this situation, they felt a little shaken. Perhaps mermaids were not as ferocious as those sea monsters. Look how pitiful it is!
The queen closed her eyes and opened them again, and saw the traces of burns from the branding iron on the edge of the fin. There was half a charred rose, which burned the queen's heart.
"How could this happen? Poor child, tell me who hurt you? You saved my life, I will definitely seek justice for you."
The Queen could no longer hold back her tears.
Xiao Qianchuan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by everyone, so he pulled the blanket over his tail, looked up at his surroundings, and glared back at everyone. Noticing that the one-eyed first mate's body trembled obviously, he glanced at him contemptuously and moved his eyes to William again.
Xiao Qianchuan didn’t know whether the mermaid held a grudge or not, but he was very vindictive.
Ling kept his eyes on the mermaid in front of him, and of course he did not miss the two people who were staring at her for a long time. He clenched his fists and couldn't believe how anyone could torture such a beautiful and fragile creature.
The captain's unblinking gaze was like a lone wolf, frightening the one-eyed first mate. The whip hanging behind his waist was like a branding iron, burning his spine and making him shiver.
"I... am not... the eldest prince."
The one-eyed first mate seemed to have found a reason to defend himself and was not afraid of William's murderous gaze.
"It was the eldest prince who gave the order. He asked the captain of the guards to come out and give me a bag of gold. He also told me from the moment I boarded the ship that I must capture a mermaid on this trip."
Captain Ling glared at him, "Why did he catch the mermaid? That's a taboo at sea. How dare you take your brothers to die?"
Many brothers did die on that trip. The first mate was panicked by the captain's questions and simply put all the blame on William.
"The eldest prince wants the pearls that the mermaid cried, but it just won't cry. I have no choice but to resort to some tricks. I don't want to do this either. But if I fail to complete the task, how can they let me go?"
After hearing the explanation, instead of understanding and sympathizing, everyone backed away from the first mate, with undisguised contempt in their eyes. Some crew members even spat at him and called him a beast.
Ling almost couldn't control himself, and wanted to grab the man's neck and throw him into the sea to feed the fish. He lowered his head in shame and secretly looked up at the little mermaid. Unexpectedly, he was caught by the other party. He hurriedly avoided his gaze and quickly turned back, expressing his apology in his heart and eyes. But the other party didn't even look at him.
Ling had no choice but to turn his attention to the culprit, thinking about how to repay the little mermaid for the harm she had suffered.
Although William is a prince, no one dares to act rashly against him openly, but everyone despises him even more deeply in their hearts.
The queen was so angry that she asked loudly, "You beast! What do you want the mermaid's tears for?"
William was so annoyed by this group of NPCs that he laughed, "Let's make a mess! Let's make a mess! Let's all bite each other."
He immediately put the blame on the Queen.
"I'm doing this all for you! My dear Queen, the mermaid's pearl is so precious, only this one is worthy of the royal rose. This is the birthday gift I want to give you!"
Everyone was stunned and secretly looked at the queen with complicated expressions, and a bad thought was taking root in their minds.
