Chapter 80.1

The mermaid cub held in the arms of the youth was very close and dependent on the latter . Even though the youth had taken him out of the pool, the little mermaid with the ice-blue tail no longer panicked from the fear of leaving the water . Instead, his tail seemed to lightly sway in joy as he nestled in the youth’s embrace .

「Papa~」

「Papa—」

When with the youth, the mermaid cub really liked to utter these two syllables, probably in order to attract the attention of the parent .

And the youth holding this little mermaid responded patiently every time . After answering, he would also lift his hand and touch the little mermaid’s soft blond hair, or lightly touch the ice-blue scales on the small tail .

When the mermaid cub slapped his tail on him, the youth would often even take the initiative to move his hand over and let the little mermaid’s tail gently slap the palm of his hand .

This mermaid cub was so, so… cherished and doted on .

“Ting-ting-ting . ”

A tinkling sound . When the small and beautiful spar fell to the ground, a gentle sound was issued as it hit the floor .

The round spar bounced a few times due to the force when it fell to the ground, and finally rolled to a stop in the open space around him .

Although there was no expression on his face, the transparent tears that appeared on the adult mermaid’s cold face were nevertheless real . This sudden scene dumbfounded nearly everyone in the hall .

They couldn’t believe it .

This scene was too shocking for those who knew how callous the mermaid was when dealing with the enemy… even his allies were treated with the same indifference . Some of the soldiers present were now stunned, their mouth foolishly agape .

What kind of situation was this?— Confronted with this situation which was abnormal to a certain extent, the young man who had previously been accused of being noisy now completely restrained his carefree attitude and became vigilant .

Perhaps he had underestimated the intruder because the person had already been captured; moreover, once he learned it was a human, he had not taken him too seriously . Now it seemed the intruder had enough weight on him to make them treat him with caution .

But as the young man prepared to personally detain the intruder, he heard the mermaid, not far away, say something he did not expect .

“Release him . ”
