Eighteen hours later.

The animal trainer came in front of the Grand Duke. There was rarely any emotion on that rough face like a rock, but now, under his indifferent and numb expression, there was a trace of imperceptible frustration.

The thorny whip tied on the back of his hand was soaked in water and had been tightly strangled into the flesh.

The animal trainer lowered his head and said with some shame:

"Grand Duke, I'm very sorry, I couldn't get that mermaid to sing..."

"What?" Grand Duke Willis turned his head in disbelief: "Even you can't do anything? What have you done?"

The animal trainer's head hangs deeper: "I obeyed my lord's orders, and didn't use too harsh training methods on him. I mainly used electric shocks with less severe trauma."

"That's good. After all, it's a pity to leave flaws on such a good body." After being relieved, Grand Duke Willis fell into trouble again: "But I have been showing off to Earl Este for a long time. I bought a top-quality mermaid, although he looks better, but if he can't sing, then what is he worth!"

The animal trainer raised his head: "Then please allow me to use some extreme methods..."

The Duke of Willis interrupted him irritably:

"No! It's time for the banquet in two days. I can't show up with a scarred mermaid? That's too ugly."

The animal trainer hesitated for a few seconds, and finally made up his mind, and said:

"Actually, just now, I have adjusted to the maximum voltage that the mermaid can withstand. To be honest, no mermaid in my hand can survive such pain before, but this one can be silent from the beginning to the end... It's really amazing. Too strange."

Grand Duke Willis raised his brows, his face darkened:

"You suspect it's dumb?"

The animal trainer didn't dare to answer directly, but lowered his head even more deeply.

The face of the Grand Duke of Willis was like a thick cloud before a storm. He angrily swept all the exquisite and expensive tea sets on the table to the ground. Just the gorgeous carpet gets wet.

How dare that profiteer fool him with a dumb mermaid who can't speak?Don't die!

This is simply a great humiliation!

With gloomy brows, he raised his head and whispered some instructions to the attendants beside him. A group of heavily armed private troops left the Grand Duke's mansion in a few minutes.

The Grand Duke took a breath, sat down, and took a sip of the tea served again by the attendant.

While arresting the businessman is a good way to vent your anger, it doesn't solve the immediate problem.

The invitations to the banquet three days later have already been handed out, and there is no way to cancel them—he really doesn’t want to see the arrogant faces of the Earl of Este, who dare to laugh at the quality of his collection... Must not Let them continue to be proud.

The amazing and beautiful face of the mermaid flashed in my mind.

Grand Duke Wesley pondered for a while, and suddenly understood something - so what if he can't sing?Such a face is really rare, and it can be called the best. The combined mermaids in Earl Este and Viscount Joyce’s mansion can’t compare to this one. At most, it’s better not to let it perform during the banquet. , this face alone is enough to make people greedy.

The Grand Duke felt his heart itch.

He stood up and walked towards his private reservoir.

The temperature here is several degrees lower than outside, and the cool and cold wind with water vapor blows in. The huge ornamental pool is inlaid on the ground like a sapphire with rounded edges, and the sparkling blue water light is reflected on the wall, as if Able to smell brackish sea water.

The Grand Duke walked in slowly, and the water surface gradually entered his field of vision.

I saw a hand sticking to the special glass covered above the pool. That hand was really beautiful, with well-proportioned flesh and bones, slender fingers, and slender wrist bones. Luminous, showing a jade-like texture under the light.

The other party seemed to hear the sound of approaching footsteps, and only heard the splash of water, and the hand disappeared instantly, leaving only half of the palm print on the glass that had not yet dissipated.

The Grand Duke hurried forward, but when he came to the edge of the pool, the mermaid had already fled to the side far away from the edge of the pool.

He turned his back to the Grand Duke, and his curly fish tail was hidden behind the jagged artificial rocks, floating gently in the water like a winding ribbon.

The long blue-purple hair swayed as if it had a life of its own. It fell softly around his waist, covering most of his back. Only the white and soft curves of his shoulders and his slender waistline could be seen.

The head of the mermaid is slightly tilted, the curvature of the jaw and the line of the side face are faintly visible in the soft hair, and there is an indescribable sadness and loneliness.

The Grand Duke was fascinated unconsciously, his greedy eyes licked over such a beautiful creation in amazement, and he had already walked to the pool without realizing it, his voice was a little hoarse, and he coaxed as softly as possible: "Don't Afraid...to come here."

The mermaid seemed to be frightened, her blue-purple eyes hurriedly swept back, and then panicked and shrank back to the rock again.

The Grand Duke persuaded him patiently, and his voice was even more gentle: "Don't worry, I won't hurt you..."

He showed his empty hands to the other party: "Look, I don't have anything in my hands."

The mermaid seemed to be less vigilant than before. He turned his head slightly, revealing half of his astonishingly beautiful face as if bestowed by a god, his eyes swept half curiously and half timidly over the humans on the shore.

Although it was not the first time seeing him, the Grand Duke was still stunned by that bright face for two seconds.

Compared with the previous state of being in a coma under the effect of the drug, the lethality of this mermaid's beauty is almost doubled when she is awake - under the deep arched eyebrows, the blue eyes are so deep that they are almost purple, like a magnificent ocean in the afterglow of the setting sun, especially But when he looked at it with that kind of naive expression that is not familiar with the world, almost no existence in this world can resist this suffocating beauty.

It's really beautiful...

It was the first time that the Grand Duke felt such a dazzled feeling.

The mermaid slowly swims closer, his wavy long hair spread out behind him, his white chest and lower abdomen shrink rhythmically with the swing of the tail fin, the graceful lines of muscles are looming, the face is enlarged in sight, making people feel There is a feeling of dizziness as if looking directly at the sun, as if one's own sense organs cannot bear such a heavy beauty.

The Grand Duke stared fascinatedly at the mermaid approaching him. He propped his palms on the cold surface of the glass, and his upper body gradually approached unconsciously.

The mermaid's gaze suddenly moved and fell on his palm that was pressed against the glass.

He looked at the man's palm print curiously, then stretched out his white and slender palm tentatively, and printed it on it.

In the next second, the mermaid seemed to be scalded, and once again retracted into the water.

The Grand Duke felt hot flames ignited from his palm, making his whole body hot. Although there was no real touch through the glass, the unbearable itching felt as if there were thousands of ants on his body. Like crawling inside.

Seeing the figure of the mermaid shrink within sight, he said impatiently, "Wait! Don't go!"

As if being seized by some kind of demonic impulse, the Grand Duke felt that all his senses were occupied by the same terrible impulse. He didn't think about anything, and rushed directly to the shore to control the glass lift button, and directly pressed down.

The barrier between them finally disappeared.

The Grand Duke stared obsessively at the face that was gradually approaching him, leaned his body towards the pool water, and stretched out his hands almost greedily——

The soft white arms protrude out of the water like a crescent moon, and the thin water film glistens under the light.

In the next second, the huge caudal fin hidden under the water's surface exerted force suddenly, and with a sudden swing, the mermaid's water-drenched body jumped out of the water with this force!

When tearing open the other party's throat with his sharp and white teeth, those blue-purple beautiful eyes were still spotless.

With that almost innocent childish look, he bit off the man's throat fiercely.

The man's body twitched in the cold embrace of the foreign race. Finally, the pale palm lost the strength to struggle, and suddenly fell into the pool. The rust-colored sticky blood was soaked in the transparent pool water, and the strong smell of blood diffused in the air. open.

Grand Duke Wesley's banquet was cancelled.

His tragic death shocked the entire empire—due to the gentle and obedient nature of mermaids, as well as their unique beauty and rarity, they immediately became well-behaved pets for nobles after they were discovered. People have rarely heard of mermaids. In the incident of hurting people, I have never seen such a violent and terrifying mermaid, who actually killed his master on the second day after getting it.

What's more... It killed the Duke of Willis, who held a pivotal position among the nobles!

This incident set off a huge wave of public opinion, and everyone was speculating about the future direction of this incident and how the daring mermaid would be treated.

After the tragedy, a surveillance video of the night when Grand Duke Wesley was killed began to circulate quietly among the upper class.

The dim light makes the pixels of the video slightly blurred, and the dark blue swaying water waves on the wall and the ground fill the whole picture. From this angle, it is impossible to see the hidden scene under the water, only the young Duke seems to be bewitched by something. Generally, slowly leaning towards the pool surface, the humming sound of the opening of the special glass sounded in the background——

Suddenly, the surface of the water splashed fiercely, and the lens was wetted by the water droplets, blurring suddenly.

Through the thin water film, one can see two thin white arms like lotus root embracing the Duke's back intimately like a lover, and the wet long blue-purple hair wraps around the human body like a slender and cold snake, without a sharp point. Screaming without struggling, the bright blood color began to spread in the blurred lens, and quickly merged with the light blue water reflected on the wall.

The water droplets on the lens slowly fell, and the vision became clear again.

The mermaid raised her eyes and looked towards the monitoring direction. Those blue eyes, which seemed to be ignorant of the world, were so deep that they were purple, but there was no blatant murderous intent in the depths of the pupils. It was like an innocent human child tearing off the wings of an insect. The innocent smile that spilled out from his lips at the time was as if he had just crushed an ant to death.

"Crack."

The human's larynx broke in his mouth, and the twitching limbs instantly lost the strength to struggle, and fell down softly.

The mermaid raised his head, and the deep pupils reflected dripping blood and water, giving him a cruel beauty that was almost primitive and barbaric. The lower half of his face was stained red by the bright blood, and it moved along the sharp arc of the mandible. It dripped down, and slid down along the curve of the collarbone and chest. The light pink tip of the tongue protruded from the lips, and gently swept over the bright lower lip, taking away a few drops of blood.

He let go of his hand, and quietly disappeared under the water surface, as if there was no warning when he came, like a dream-like bubble.

What a... ferocious and beautiful creature.

The slender fingers gently stroked the cold surface of the upper screen, slowly sketching the blurred silhouette of the mermaid.

The tall man stared fixedly at the still picture on the screen, with a dark undercurrent brewing in his deep eyes, as if some unknown possessive desire was quietly flowing.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice, "Where is this mermaid now?"

"Prisoned in a water prison, you..."

The man coldly interrupted the attendant who was about to continue talking: "Take me to have a look."

The attendant leaned even lower, his voice reverent and reverent:

"Yes, Your Majesty."
