“…”

For a second the atmosphere plunged into silence.

Seeing Mu Chen fine, the space between Light’s eyebrows relaxed, he asked the other, “What do you want to eat?”

After the other party finished speaking this sentence, the little merman’s eyes immediately brightened, “Whelk, scallop, sea urchin, seaweed…also fish, can I?”

He wants to eat a lot of fish, huh.

Light smiled a little, “You can.”

After he instructed several attendants to prepare all of this, he led Mu Chen to see Kuina again.

Seeing the little merman once more, Kuina was still fretting over the matter of the other barging into Light’s room without a word of greeting last night, for a moment she didn’t know whether it should be said that Mu Chen was too bold, or the prince too indulgent of him.

“There was no problem.” Mu Chen smiled at her, “His Highness said, before the Qin Palace is constructed, I can sleep with him the whole time.”

Of course this was the result he’d obtained after acting cute.

At this Kuina finally perceived, right now Light only looked severe on the surface, in reality he already had no way to get the little merman in hand.

After she led Mu Chen to wash his face and brush his teeth, the two came to the restaurant together.

Yet before they entered the room, they heard the sound of a dispute from within.

“Why wasn’t I informed at all?”

Light’s voice carried a faint tinge of displeasure.

“Did you inform me about you having people come to the palace to immediately dig a canal? Didn’t I acquiesce to your actions, since you choose to let him remain in the palace, then can’t I take it as your silent approval of this engagement…”

A comparatively aged voice came forth.

Light, “But what does this have to do with live streaming?”

The other party, “Becoming a member of the royal family means entering the common people’s line of sight, letting the people come to know him.”

Light, “He’s still young.”

The little merman’s personality had yet to mature, he wasn’t sure if Jorah having people live stream Mu Chen’s daily life now would influence him negatively.

“Your Majesty, Your Highness Light.”

Kuina led Mu Chen into the room and curtsied towards the two.

The atmosphere suddenly grew quiet.

Mu Chen raised his head, he finally clearly saw the man sitting beside Light, the other party wore a crown on his head symbolizing supreme royal power, the hair beside his temples were already white, from Jorah’s tightly knit eyebrows and august disposition, he could tell in one glance he and Light are father and son.

“Hi, Your Majesty.”

Jorah’s gaze followed the sound of that slightly childish voice, soon meeting a pair of clear blue eyes.

The little merman’s body in his sight was exquisite and adolescent, he couldn’t see the slightest bit of reserve in his gaze as he looked toward himself, rather he seemed naturally extroverted.

Jorah subconsciously developed a bit of a good opinion about him.

It was exactly this sort of disposition which can keep the entire scene in hand, only this was in line with his status as a member of the Yigor royal family..

He saw the little merman leading Kuina by the hand the whole way towards the dining table, soon after sitting by Light’s side.

Mu Chen tilted his head up and tugged on Light’s cuff, smiling towards him. “Your Highness, isn’t live streaming just chatting with everyone while eating, I have no problem with it.”

When Atlantis hadn’t yet been annihilated before, he had to attend all sorts of ceremonies in front of hundreds of people nearly every day.

And walking into the people’s field of view early, also means solidifying his identity within Oz Palace, in regards to himself there is only benefit and no harm.

Practically the same second Mu Chen opened his mouth, Light’s expression softened by no small degree.

Watching Mu Chen’s biddably adorable appearance, Jorah unknowingly revealed a benevolent smile, and with some displeasure said to Light, “You still aren’t as sensible as he is.”

Light, “…”

Jorah asked the little merman, “You are called Mu Chen correct?”

“En.”

Mu Chen nodded his head.

Jorah looked towards Light, “Recently there isn’t much work, I say you shouldn’t hurry back to the border, just stay here and take Mu Chen around to familiarize himself with the capital, just as well change your stinky temper.”

Mu Chen leaned towards and onto Light’s body, pulling on his arm. “His Highness’s temper isn’t even a bit bad.”

The corners of Jorah’s lips undisciplinedly eked out a sliver of a smile.

This child was really too cute, both sunny and loving to smile, just watching made him feel like even his mood improved.

This unavoidably made him remember the sight of Light’s face that was always stiff as a board when he was a child. As the legitimate eldest son of the royal family, he held a lot of expectations towards this child, always strict and rarely affectionate. Of course Light also didn’t fail to live up to his expectations—he was always more steady and sensible than other children of the same age ever since he was small, but unknowingly and unfeelingly the air between the two became filled with drawn swords and taut bows, and after Light’s mother left the world the more they clashed the worse it became.

Hahhhh…

Jorah sighed a little unconsciously in his heart, thinking that having Light and the little merman come into contact with each other regularly was also good.

At this moment, he saw Light no longer had an objection towards the matter of live streaming, so Jorah left after he had people arrange the live stream equipment.

The Oz Empire’s biggest streaming platform, hundreds and thousands of virtual screens flickered cyclically, the title of the hottest stream among them was written, “Royal Palace Day-To-Day Cub Raising: Little Merman is Meeting Everyone Today~”

Yet the content streaming inside was a dry and stale scenery advertising piece.

The comment barrage had long already argued to the point where communication was impossible—

[Wasn’t it said the royal family’s merman would be streamed today? Why is an advertising video playing, are they going to stream or not?]

[Right, I’ve been waiting since seven in the morning until now, but they still haven’t started, really speechless…]

[I said it already, that this engagement is the royal family’s bid for attention. Atlantis has been annihilated for almost six years, telling us at this time that a merman was suddenly found isn’t a joke right?]

[Wuwuwu still hoping the streaming starts quickly, truly really want to see the little merman]

[Don’t get it, isn’t it just streaming eating a meal? Does it merit this level of popularity? Really can’t figure out what people’s heads are filled with now]

[Ah, but that’s a merman!]

[If you install a fishtail prosthesis on yourself, aren’t you a merman?]

[Hahahahahahahaha fck]

The sound of dispute of all types unrelentingly entered the ear.

Yet just at this time, the stream’s originally smoothly playing scene flashed a few times, the advertising video’s background music suddenly ceased.

The next second, the screen cuts to black.

The speed of the comment barrage’s flood instantly slowed down, the stream seemed a lot quieter,

[Is it starting?]

[Ah ah ah ah ah little merman]

[Are merfolks really as good looking as the ones in the legends]

The screen flashed brightly several times, the shining light once again rushed in.

Closely following, delicate yet upward curling long silver lashes as sticky as glue and half a pair of blue eyes filled the entire screen.

“En…is this how it’s done?”

A young and tender voice came forth.

Mu Chen was still not too familiar with operating this live stream equipment, directly placing the camera lens towards his own face, he gazed towards the display screen to the other side, and his long lashes trembled.

Not right…

Why was his face expanded to this huge size?

Following that, the screen started to shake gently, the image switched back and forth between Mu Chen’s eyebrows and forehead.

Unknowingly, the live stream’s comment barrage had begun to scroll madly.

[Save me, such long lashes ! ! ! !]

[These eyelashes can kill people]

[Why is he still good looking at a dead angle]

[Babe, is this you trying every single dead angle hahahahaha]

[Save me, quickly stop laughing, someone come help him]

A pair of finely jointed hands intruded into the shot, a few adjustments later, the screen finally became upright, perfectly projecting the upper half of Mu Chen’s body.

“Thank you, Your Highness.” Mu Chen tilted his head, smiled towards Light, revealing the dimples beside his cheeks.

The barrage became excited once more—

[It’s a silver haired blue eyed cub]

[Wuwuwu I don’t care, he just has white fur!]

[Ah, he’s so cute when he smiles]

[whose hand was that just now?]

[is it Prince Light’s?]

[It is, it is! I just saw his cuff has an eagle stitched on it, and the little merman called him “Your Highness”, so he must be the prince!]

[Sister, did you use a magnifying glass to look?]

“I’m called Mu Chen, now I am going to eat breakfast.” The little merman simply introduced two phrases to the camera, just readying to sit on a stool, surveyed left and right in a circle as if he suddenly remembered something, “Wait…seems like I forgot Sharky.”

As he said this, Mu Chen ran out of frame. When he returned, he was hugging a shark plush against his chest. He put the shark plush in the chair, arranging it properly, and only after did he jump up.

[Save me, why does a shark plush also have a name]

[Hahahaha will Sharky also eat breakfast?]

[The cuteness has killed me]

Mu Chen looked at the food in the exquisite porcelain plate emitting fragrant steam, eyelashes slightly drooping.

It’s cooked…

Compared to cooked food, he liked eating raw more.

But the smell of it was okay.

Thinking thusly, he used a hand to grasp the fork and went to stab the food in the plate.

But using the fork was very convoluted, every time he had just forked a slice of whelk meat, it fell down again.

Just as Mu Chen’s cheeks were puffing up from anger as he fought with the fork in his hand, that pair of slender and fair hands entered the frame once again.

The other party grasped the fork shaft and corrected Mu Chen’s grip, helping him spear whelk meat from the plate again.

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

Mu Chen curved the corners of his lips.

[Ah ah ah ah ah, is this still that icy cold prince from my memory?]

[Right, the prince is so tender to the little merman]

[Wuwuwu I also want to raise a little merman]

[Begging inquiry, where to get hold of this type of merman?]

Mu Chen ate very slowly, using a napkin to wipe his mouth after eating two mouthfuls. When he raised his head again to look at the comment barrage, the live stream room had already started discussing how to “steal a merman.”

He curved his eyelashes, following which the precious stone pendant hanging in front of his forehead shaped like a water droplet swayed once, silver hair hung down to the hip, and the glossy rosy lip corners curved. When he smiled, the scene was identical to a painting.

Ah, so it’s this easy to receive the good opinions of other people.

Inside Mu Chen’s heart, everything was clear, yet on the surface he still looked at and asked Light foolishly, “Ah, why do they want to steal fish……”

Hearing these words, Light’s gaze swept over that display screen, then he saw the comment barrage laid out like a mahjong flush—

[How many years is the sentence for stealing a merman…]

[Form a group to go to the palace to steal fish]

[What color burlap sack does the little merman like?]

His eyelids twitched, using a hand to cover the screen. “Don’t look, eat your food.”

“Oh.” Mu Chen obediently nodded his head, yet a fleeting slight smile appeared undetectably beside his lips as he lowered his head.

The live stream room was immediately filled with a joyous atmosphere.

[‘Don’t look’]

[Hahahahaha prince you’re so selfish]

[Why don’t you allow looking, the little merman hasn’t said what kind of color sack he wants yet]

[I’m dying from laughing. Why do you all discuss stealing the merman in front of the prince? If it has to be said then say it secretly]

[Understood]
