While the two were talking, Velder showed up from the crowd.
He walked to Fred and stopped in front of him.
With a solemn look on his face, he said, "I, Velder Merman, as the king of the Merfolks, thank you Fred for saving the mermaids that were caught by people with evil intention."
He bowed his head while still not losing the dignity of a King.
Fred was stunned for a moment as Velder suddenly did that. But when he recovered, he hurriedly stopped Velder from bowing down.
"No, no, no, it is no big deal. It is just something that Master Levi asked me to do. So get up, don't bow to me, it makes me feel awkward." Fred said, looking frantic while helping the King get up.
The King looked at Fred and smiled gently, then he turned to Levi and the two talked for some time.
A while later, it is already time for Leviathan and Fred to depart.
Climbing at the back of Leviathan, who already transformed into a whale, Fred finally felt at ease.
