As the young mermaid's fragile, slender back vanished into the white mist, the Mermaid Prince, his eyes filled with grim fury, finally waved a finger to dismiss the water curtain.
He fought the urge to snap the girl's slender waist and crush her into his body. With a flick of his fishtail, he leaned back languidly on the throne by the medicinal pool.
The beautiful girl, her hands and feet shackled by chains of water, was pressed against his broad, firm chest by a large hand.
His purple eyes narrowed. He hooked a finger under her chin, the corners of his lips curling into a dangerous smile. "So, does Miss Rabbit want Lanse to live, or to die?"
Jiang Xinli's heart clenched, but her expression remained impassive as she replied:
"He is the vice-captain of your Deep Sea Territory's Royal Knight Order, one of the few outstanding noble elites in your domain. Kill him or torture him as you please.
I can't do anything about it, and it's not my place to interfere."
