Chapter 943: Private consultation


    ?


    The regent looked confused when he heard this, so he asked, "What are you talking about?" Even though the prime minister trusted him and told him a few things, that didn''t mean that he knew everything.


    He was very confused as he listened to them talking about this and he couldn''t hold back his curiosity anymore.


    I didn''t say anything as I was still deep in thought, but the prime minister turned to exin everything to the regent. Though I was surprised how little the prime minister held back when The told this story to the regent.


    It seemed that other than a few core things, he had basically told the regent everything.


    Did they really get that close in these few days?


    After the regent heard the whole thing, he just said, "What are you hesitating for? If you have the advantage, then you might as well take it."


    This time, it was my turn to be confused as I had no idea what the regent was referring to.


    But the prime minister suddenly revealed a smile after hearing this.


    He looked at the regent with that smile, almost as if he was appreciating the regent for saying something like this. It even seemed like he was saying, "So you were thinking the same thing as me."


    As for me, I just had no idea what they were thinking at all.


    The regent just looked right back at the prime minister with a smile on his face.


    After the two of them acted this way for a bit, it was my turn to say in a confused voice, "Alright, stop staring at each other like lovers already and tell me what you''re thinking."


    The two of them were a bit surprised to hear this and they looked at me with strange looks, but I didn''t say anything as I looked at them and waited for them to exin what they were talking about.


    The two of them were silent for a bit before the prime minister said, "Well, the advantage that we have is that we have Ariel, right?"


    The regent slowly nodded in agreement.


    I looked at them with one brow raised when I heard this, but then I slowly understood what they were talking about.


    They were nning on using Ariel to mess with the Tide Empire''s ns?


    While I didn''t know what kind of reaction she would have to this, it was obvious that it was unlikely that she would have a good reaction.


    After all, this would certainly be bad for the Merman Empire if we were to do anything.


    Still, it didn''t seem like it would hurt to ask her...


    So I just slowly gave a nod in the end to show that I agreed to this n.


    I could already guess how this was going to go.


    ...


    "Of course I''ll y along with you." Ariel said without any hesitation when we asked her about this.


    I waspletely caught off guard by this, but it didn''t seem like the prime minister and regent were surprised at all by her answer. It even looked like they had already expected her to say this with the smiles that were on their faces.


    I slightly knitted my brows before asking, "Won''t this be bad for the Merman Empire?"


    I had to admit that I felt strange asking this question.


    I should be thest person that cared about something like this, but I still felt like I had to ask this.


    Ariel looked at me with a surprised look like she wasn''t expecting me to ask this, but then she said with an unhappy look, "Who told them to try and interfere with my life like this? It''s clear that those dumb parents are nning to push this issue, so they can''t me me if I take some drastic action."


    I was even more surprised to hear this.


    Was she even the mermaid princess when she was saying something like this?


    It felt more like she was on our side rather than on the side of the Merman Empire.


    Ariel just ignored the way that I looked at her and turned to the prime minister to ask, "So are you nning on using that person that you captured before? The one that was rted to the Tide Empire''s royal family?"


    The prime minister slowly nodded in agreement.


    Ariel quickly said, "Then you should bring him to see my parents. That should be the easiest way to solve this matter."


    All three of us were surprised to hear this.


    Though I was more surprised by the fact that the prime minister and regent were surprised.


    It seemed that even they hadn''t gone as far as involving the king and queen of the Merman Empire in this matter. It seemed that they had only been nning on using Ariel to ruin the rtionship between the Tide Empire and the Merman Empire.


    Ariel didn''t care at all as she said, "All we have to do is tell my parents that this person offended me and it should make them hold it against the Tide Empire. I at least have this value in the hearts of my parents."


    All of us looked at her with even more shock.


    After all, we had been nning on using a more subtle method to handle this matter, but Ariel wanted to directly involve the king and queen of the Merman Empire...


    It didn''t seem right...


    I couldn''t help asking, "Are you sure that you want to do this? You should know what the consequences will be."


    Ariel just said with a happy smile, "It''s fine, you don''t know my parents as well as I do. I can tell you now that this will be the simplest way of handling this matter."


    None of us could say a thing since she made a very good point.


    It wasn''t as if we were close to the king and queen of the Merman Empire, so we couldn''t really say what they were like.


    In the end, the prime minister gave a slow nod as he said, "Alright, we''ll leave this matter to you."
