It seemed like this was a question that he was suddenly asking which caught everyone off guard.
But the one that reacted first was the former crown prince.
The former crown prince had been trained to take the throne, so he naturally knew what the Merman King was thinking as a ruler.
The reason that the Merman King had suddenly asked this was because he wanted to find value with the sea witches. While they could create a non aggression alliance between the Merman Empire and the sea witches, that wouldn't solve the underlying problem.
After all, the non aggression alliance would only make it so that they wouldn't fight each other anymore.
Just the non aggression alliance alone wouldn't actually make them closer, it would just stop the fighting that was happening on the surface. It wouldn't solve the underlying problem that was the relationship between the Merman Empire and the sea witches.
