The royal guards immediately knitted their brows the moment that they heard this.
The looks on their faces made it clear what they were thinking.
They weren't wrong to think this since these Five True Witches of the Sea had attacked the Merman King, which was considered a major crime. Even if they used potions that weren't strong enough to actually hurt the Merman King, it was still a major crime to even attack him.
So they naturally didn't like what the former crown prince said.
Even though they reacted like this, the former crown prince didn't take back what he said.
Instead, he was looking at the Merman King as if he was waiting for his answer.
The Merman King had a calm look on his face, not showing any emotions at all which made it hard for people to guess what he was thinking.
It was just that no one could do anything until the Merman King gave a response.
