Once the matter with the Tide Empire had been settled, there was no longer a reason for us to stay here any longer.
However, we didn't leave right away since Ariel wanted a few days with her parents.
Since there was no way to solve the issue of her human legs, Ariel would be coming back with us to spend time in our kingdom as a royal guest. So it was perfectly fine to let her spend some time with her parents before she left for our kingdom.
At the same time, it was a chance for us since we could build up a relationship with the Merman Empire.
The relationship that the Tide Empire had with the Merman Empire had allowed it to become one of the four human empires.
So one couldn't look down on the Merman Empire.
Especially since they were the only ones that ruled under the ocean.
