The minister on the other hand was aggrieved and anguished at the same time. He was even more so confused by his prince's action. They already had found the cure for queen mother. Why was the prince still insisting onto this crazy deal.
Forming an emerald pearl required no less than the elixir grass. The donar could not exert their elemental energy for a whole year. How was the prince to still perform his duties if he donated the emerald pearl.
The more he looked at the young girl who was the cause of this occurance,the more he found her unpleasant to the eyes.
However, he must admit, the lass was a true beauty, almost matching upto their queen, who was known to have a heavenly beauty. The minister had a sudden realisation.
Had their prince fall for this beauty and that was why he was doing this ?
The more he pondered,the more he found the idea plausible. If that was really the case, then he must be in his best behaviour infront of the second princess.
What if he ended up offending their future queen?
He would be smart and start buttering upto their queen early so the queen would favour him after the marriage.
How intelligent he was.
Esmaray Moonshail nudged Diana, asking her to look at the maniac of a minister who was laughing so happily at a moment so serious.
These Mermans are all creepy. Esmaray Moonshail thought in disdain towards the mermans behaviour.
Diana eyed the minister before turning her attention back to her baby sister. She noticed how visibly Iah's complexion turned pale. Her rosy cheeks were devoid of their warmness while her red cherry lips turned darker in shade.
"Iah."
Diana Moonshail cried out seeing the drop of blood coming out of her sister's mouth corner. The situation was already concerning enough,if she was to go further, her systems might paralyse.
Theo Minesworth quickly opened his eyes after he was done forming the emerald pearl. He was shocked to see the sickly complexion of the young girl. He walked over and sat himself infront of Iah Moonshail.
Diana and Esmaray seemed to have taken the cue as they too sat at either sides of her surrounding Iah from three Directions.
The three transferred their energies to Iah to help her hold on. Blood continued to seep out of the princess's corner of lips. The fortunate thing was that she could hold on and hasn't fainted which was still positive.
The assistance from the other three helped fasten up the process as Iah was done forming the elixir grass after a fair while.
A green glowing grass like thing floated above the girls hands. Iah Moonshail looked down and confirmed the potency of the elixir grass. It was in a good condition and would be sufficient to cure the queen's ailment.
"Here you go."
The girl calmly remarked in her usual gentle tone. She lifted her hands and pushed them slightly towards the merman crown prince. The elixir grass floated from Iah's hands towards Theo's hands.
"The emerald pearl as I promised."
Theo Minesworth reached out to receive the elixir grass which turned invisible coming in contact with his skin. The grass was now stored in his mental void which he could store and tranfer.
After receiving the elixir grass, Theo too presented the emerald pearl to the second princess of Dreamland.
"Thank you. We shall take our leaves now. Farewell Prince Theo."
The three Princesses stood up and bowed slightly towards the prince to bid farewell. Not waiting for the latter's answer, they quickly scurried away .
"Protect them."
Theo Minesworth commanded the chief minister while his eyes followed the three recurring figures.
"Yes, my lord."
The chief rushed out soon after receiving the command. The chief minister was aware of what the sea of wonders held. The merman tribe were not the only one residing in the waters.
Feral beasts of different species existed. The snake tribe was known for their coldness. Such dangerous water species lurked in the depths of the sea. They would not attack for no reason but it was still better to be vigilant.
The emarald pearl as well the three princess were of great use if captured. The emerald pearl could help fasten the cultivation other than it's medical properties.
Who didn't know that the Princesses were king Helion Moonshail weak point. If captured they could be used as baits to manipulate the king.
One must know how much of a great resource the City of Dreamland was. If one could obtain it, the recipient could gain enormous support in ruling half the the living beings in this world.
Chief of the merman tribe rushed out to carry out the orders leaving behind the dazed prince lost in his thoughts.
Iah Moonshail, this girl was not normal.
To launch a strong attack against a merman in their on territory. Her abilities were not as weak as the rumours said it to be.
He would pay attention in the coming future. She could prove to be a great ally or a foe maybe....
"Are you alright ? second sister."
Esmaray Moonshail asked in concern. For her sister to be able to walk after taking out her hundred years cultivation. Either she had phenomenal endurance or she was just suppressing the reaction.
"I'm alright. I had consumed the indigo fruit before I came."
Iah Moonshail informed, attempting to ease them of their worries.
"So you had it all planned."
Diana Moonshail sneered in disdain. She had worried for this brat over nothing. The indigo fruit could provide energy and hasten the cultivation period.
To have consumed it beforehand, Iah Moonshail could surely cope up with flying colours.
"That's good then.You should rest when you reach home."
Esmaray Moonshail heaved a relieved sigh. They didn't pursue the matter , knowing it was not a best idea to reveal about the indigo fruit. In this world, cultivating stuff could cause deaths and even bloodshed.
