I was surprised by what the Merman King suddenly said.
I didn't understand how the conversation went to him telling me a story, but I still gave a simple nod for him to continue.
After all, I could see from the look on his face that whatever story he wanted to tell me was related to the matter that we had been discussing.
It turned out that it was more than just related, it was the reason for his personal grudge against the sea witches.
"I had a brother a long time ago…"
The story was that the Merman King had an older brother and he wasn't even supposed to become the Merman King, but something happened to his older brother who had been the crown prince at the time.
Simply put, the crown prince fell in love and eloped.
That left the Merman Empire in a bind and the current Merman King had no choice but to take the throne.
As for where the crown prince ran off to…
It was naturally with the sea witches.
