Chapter 953: What could it be?


    ?


    "What is this?" A voice suddenly roared out.


    All those that had been in the throne room couldn''t help flinching when they heard this voice roaring out. They all looked like they would rather be anywhere else, but their positions


    didn''t allow them to leave.


    That was because they were all ministers of the Tide Empire.


    If it was anywhere else, these people would receive the best treatment because of their status.


    It was only here that they had no choice but to cower.


    That was because the one that was in front of them was the one that ruled the Tide Empire, the Tide Emperor.


    After asking this question, the Tide Emperor just looked at the ministers that were standing there silently in front of him.


    As they felt his gaze sweep over them, they all lowered their heads. It was as if they were a bunch of naughty kids that were trying to avoid being chosen by the teacher.


    The Tide Emperor looked even more disappointed when he saw them acting this way, but he didn''t say anything as he just gave a simple snort.


    Instead, the Tide Emperor turned to look at the one that brought the letter and said, "Well, what do they want this time?"


    The way that he said this was very guarded, as if he was afraid of what the letter would say. After all, this was a letter from a very special ce, a ce that even he as the emperor of the Tide Empire needed to be wary of.


    It was from the Merman Empire, the reason why the Tide Empire had be one of the strongest human empires.


    The messenger slowly opened the letter and said, "The letter is a letter asking for a meeting with your majesty."


    The Tide Emperor slightly knitted his brows when he heard this.


    This was certainly not what he had expected, but this wasn''t necessarily a bad thing.


    After all, there had been talks about a royal engagement with the princess of the Merman Empire. If they were just asking for a meeting, didn''t that mean that they were nning to move forward with this?


    Though the Tide Emperor couldn''t help feeling that something was off since this was a very short notice letter. It seemed unnatural how they suddenly asked for a meeting like this.


    It didn''t seem like there was a need to rush like this since they had already been discussing this a long time.


    Something must have happened in the Merman Empire for them to suddenly send a letter like this.


    That was what the Tide Emperor was worried about.


    However, it wasn''t as if he could just ignore this invitation to a meeting.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    If he were to do that, it would be like looking down on the Merman Empire. For the Tide Empire, their rtionship with the Merman Empire was the most important thing.


    If their rtionship with the Merman Empire was ever destroyed, then it was almost certain that they would lose their power on the continent. Once that happened, it would mean that their Tide Empire would be attacked by the other three empires and torn apart.


    That was just how it was with human greed.


    So there was nothing that the Tide Emperor could do other than go along with this. After thinking about it for a bit, the Tide Emperor said, "Where''s the crown prince?" "Royal father, your son is here." A handsome looking young man with blue hair stepped forward and bowed slightly as he said this.


    When the Tide Emperor saw this handsome looking blue haired young man, he gave a satisfied nod. The way that he looked at him waspletely different from the way that he had looked at the ministers just now.


    It was clear by the way that he looked at him how the Tide Emperor thought of this crown prince.


    At least the ministers couldn''tpare to the position that the crown prince had in his heart. After looking at him with a look of approval for a bit, the Tide Emperor said, "Prepare to head to Peace Ind with me. You will meet the Merman Princess with me."


    When the crown prince heard that, his eyes lit up.


    He had seen a picture of the Merman Princess before and there was nothing for him toin about. The moment that he saw the picture, he had actually fallen in love with her.


    Since he was going to meet the princess, there was no doubt that this would be about his engagement which filled him with even more joy.


    The crown prince bowed his head even more as he said, "Yes, royal father. Your son will follow you wherever and whenever."


    The Tide Emperor slightly knitted his brows hearing this, but he chose to ignore it in the end.


    Instead, the Tide Emperor turned his eyes back onto the ministers and said, "Prepare the guards and the gifts for the Merman Empire." He narrowed his eyes before saying, "If there''s even a single mistake..."


    All of the ministers gulped when they heard this, but they quickly said with bowed heads, "Yes, your majesty. We will not make a single mistake."


    The Tide Emperor narrowed his eyes even more, but he eventually just waved his hand.


    Seeing this, the ministers all left the throne room while letting out sighs.


    The looks on their faces was as if they had been pardoned from an execution.


    The only one that looked excited was the crown prince who seemed to be lost in some kind of fantasy.


    Once the Tide Emperor was alone in the throne room, he looked again at the letter that had been presented to him. He looked at it carefully as if he was trying to figure something out.


    After a long silence, the Tide Emperor couldn''t help saying to himself, "Just what could it be? What do they want that they would send this message all of a sudden?"
