I helplessly raised my hands before saying, "I just wanted to talk with you."
"With me?" The former crown prince narrowed his eyes.
There was a surprised tone that was in his voice when he said this.
With a simple nod, I said, "That's right. I just want to talk, nothing more, nothing less."
The former crown prince narrowed his eyes even more when he heard this, but he eventually gave a nod.
He wasn't a fool since he was someone that had once been the crown prince of the Merman Empire, he was someone that had been raised with the best resources since he was young.
He was someone that everyone thought would be the wise king of the Merman Empire, so it was only natural that he was able to see that there was something else to my words.
Only he still acted the part of a protective dad as he said, "Sweetie, go with your mommy and help your cousin. I'll have a talk with our guest in private."
