Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 944: To the Tide Empire

It turned out that I was destined to see this matter through to the end.

We had made a decision to let Ariel bring Viper to see the Merman King and Queen, but it turned out that I was being dragged along as well.

As for the reason...

It was simply because I was the one that had made a contract with Ariel.

This was an important matter in mermaid culture, so I was being brought along to report this matter to the Merman King and Queen.

While this wasn't something that was in the game, so I really couldn't comment on this, I didn't think that she would lie about something this important. The one thing that I was worried about was how the Merman King and Queen would react to this matter.

In the game, this event never happened.

After spending some time with Ariel on land, the player would discover a plot in the Merman Empire and would find a way to go to the Merman Empire with Ariel. But that involved turning Ariel back into a mermaid and finding a way to go underwater.

The matter of Ariel turning into a human was brought up later, but it was at the point where the player would become friendly with the mermaids, so it was accepted quite easily.

If the matter of Ariel becoming a human was revealed to the Merman King and Queen before the relationship with the mermaids was built up...what kind of consequences would I be facing?

But it wasn't as if I could back down now since this was something that was related to the safety of my country.

Even if I didn't want to go, I still had to go.

In a worst case scenario, I would just be able to abandon my position as the king and escape to avoid the consequences falling on my kingdom.

The former fourth prince and the current prime minister would be able to take the throne since it would have been his in the first place.

Though I seemed worried, Ariel didn't seem worried at all.

She just patted me on the shoulder and said, "We're just going to see my parents, it's not anything special."

"Where are we going?" I couldn't help asking.

I had been so worried about meeting the Merman King and Queen that I had completely forgotten to ask about this. After all, it wasn't as if we could just bring Viper and the wyverns under the sea.

We were all currently flying on the wyverns, heading in a direction that Ariel pointed out.

Ariel just said with a teasing smile, "Well, it's a secret."

There was a bitter smile that appeared on my face when I heard this before I couldn't help shaking my head.

It really seemed like there was nothing that could be done against this mermaid princess. She really was someone that just did whatever she wanted to do...

I even couldn't help feeling a bit sorry for her parents, though I would never say that out loud.

Eventually, there were some people that figured out where we were going.

As those that were trained to ride wyverns, they had been trained on recognizing territory and reading maps. They would be in charge of scouting along with acting as main forces in the future, so it was easy for them to figure out where we were heading.

"We're heading for the territory of the Tide Empire." The royal guard who figured it out reported this to me.

Even they hadn't known where we were going since Ariel just gave a general direction.

The moment that we figured out that we were heading to the Tide Empire, we all immediately stopped and landed in the forest beneath.

Ariel, who had been enjoying the flight on the back of the wyverns, immediately felt the feeling of air rushing past her disappear. So she came off the wyvern and over to me to ask, "What's wrong? Why did we suddenly stop?"

"We're heading to the Tide Empire?" I asked her without answering her question.

Ariel's brows raised in surprise when she heard this before she said with a smile, "So you figured it out?"

The guards wanted to reach for their weapons, but I stopped them as I asked, "You want to tell me what's going on?"

Ariel gave a nod as she said, "Well, it is the Tide Empire, but it's also not the Tide Empire." All of us looked at her with a confused look when we heard this.

I looked at the royal guard that reported this matter and he gave me his map to look at.

With the path that we were taking, it didn't seem like we were heading to the center of the Tide Empire. It seemed like we were heading to the coast of the Tide Empire, which would make sense since we were going to see the Merman King and Queen.

When Ariel saw this map, she also came over and looked at it for a bit.

After looking at the map for a bit, she pointed at a spot that was in the middle of the ocean and said, "That is where we are heading."

All of us looked at her with a brow raised, as if we were questioning her on this.

Ariel just said with a smile, "It's interesting to see your maps. It's completely different from our maps."

We looked at her with even more confused looks hearing this.

Ariel just looked at the map with a smile for a bit longer before looking up to say, "There's an island there that only the Tide Empire and the Merman Empire know about."

"Huh?" We all had surprised looks on our faces hearing this.

Ariel continued by saying, "It's a secret place that we use to negotiate things when we need to meet with the Tide Empire."

I looked at her with a strange look before saying, "Is it really alright for you to be telling us

this?"

Ariel just gave a simple nod as she said, "It doesn't matter since we'll be heading there anyway."

I couldn't help thinking that she was right.
