Chapter 599 Two Problems of the Archduke of Halifax

Half an hour later, the three of them arrived in front of the palace.

Two golden mid-level mermaid guards pushed open the thick palace door and stood there.

Stepping on the stone slabs, Weilin always paid attention to his surroundings.

Above the main hall, a middle-aged mermaid lay on his side on the throne. At his tail, there were two beautiful mermaids carefully wiping his scales.

The mermaid guard standing on the left side of the throne bent down and said respectfully: "Grand Duke, the guests have entered the first palace wall."

The Grand Duke of Halifax opened his eyes, waved the maid to leave, then swung his tail and straightened his body.

At the main entrance of the palace, a black-haired man appeared in sight.

Verin entered the hall, looked directly into the eyes of the Grand Duke of Halifax, put his right hand on his chest, and bent down to salute: "Verin Akers has met the Grand Duke of Halifax."

Kyle and Odor followed closely behind and saluted the Archduke of Halifax together, but did not state their names.

"Please get up."

The Archduke of Halifax raised his hand, operated the water flow, and helped the three people to their feet.

Verin stood up smoothly, looked at the Archduke of Halifax, and then lowered his gaze to look at the steps to show his respect for the legend.

Regarding the actions of the three humans in front of him, the Grand Duke of Halifax couldn't help but nodded. Feeling the power of the black-haired young man, he felt a little good in his heart.

He met a lot of arrogant and ignorant humans, and there were also a lot of humble and polite humans, but there were very few humans that he could actively feel good about.

"Clarissa, the leader of the Ilrus tribe, recommended you to me. I wonder why you met me?"

Faced with the question from the Grand Duke of Halifax, Verin hesitated for a moment and told the truth: "Grand Duke of Halifax, I come here this time hoping to gain your friendship and to communicate with the sea near the West Naps subcontinent. Get in touch with the Mermaid Kingdom and open trade between the two sides.”

"This is the first time I've seen him so candidly." The Grand Duke of Halifax was a little surprised. He looked at Verin and said, "However, it's not so easy for you to gain my friendship."

Weilin kept a humble expression, said nothing, and waited peacefully.

The Grand Duke of Halifax thought for a moment, raised three fingers, and said: "If it were in the past, if a human had dared to say this, I would have asked the guards to drive him out, but today, I am in a good mood, as long as you can finish me If you make a request, I will accept it.”

"Please speak clearly, Grand Duke." Weilin said unhurriedly, showing no urgency to avoid making the other party unhappy.

"I have two problems."

"First, let my daughter Lidya stop being arrogant and be able to treat others with humility."

“Second, make my mother smile again.”

"I will give you three months. As long as you can complete one of these tasks, you will gain my friendship."

"Within the time limit, you can freely enter and leave Silversea City and other areas within the Mermaid Principality of Halifax."

"Thank you, Grand Duke, for giving us this opportunity." Weilin bowed and bowed his head in thanks.

"Sandora."

Outside the main hall, the mermaid mage heard the call of the Grand Duke, entered the main hall, bent down and saluted, and said respectfully: "Grand Duke, please give me your orders."

"In these three months, you will serve as the leader of the three distinguished guests and meet their reasonable requirements."

"I will obey your orders, Grand Duke." Sandora replied again.

Then, the Archduke of Halifax waved his hand and sent three people and one fish out of the hall.

"Mage Sandora, I'm going to trouble you during this time."

"It's your job, if you need anything, just ask me." The mermaid mage replied with a smile.

Verin thought for a moment and asked Kyle and Odor: "How about we go see Princess Lydia first?"

"can."

"You just decide."

Seeing that the three of them had made their decision, the mermaid mage summoned a seahorse carriage and led the three of Verin to the residence of Lydia, the seventh daughter of the Grand Duke of Halifax.

In the main hall, the mermaid guard standing on the left asked: "Grand Duke, Princess Lydia is arrogant and disrespectful, and she despises others. Can these three humans change her character?"

Hearing this, the Grand Duke of Halifax showed a look of remorse: "Lydia's development of the character she has today is the result of Nerdis and I neglecting to discipline her."

"As a superior, if she cannot correct her character, she will be destroyed by her own hands sooner or later."

"There are still ten years left. If there is no change at all and she is still like this, then she will be temporarily deprived of her princess title and sent to a military camp. When will she learn to be humble and treat others, when will she return to Silver Sea City."

After hearing the words of the Grand Duke of Halifax, the mermaid guard standing on the right gave advice: "Grand Duke, although we maintain peace with the Vosha Ocean Principality, small-scale frictions have not diminished. Send Princess Lydia to Is there something wrong with the border military camp?”

"There is nothing wrong with it. If my heir of Halifax dies for my country, I will consider it a gift from the God of Mermaids and Songstresses to me. If he dies because of arrogance, I will be ashamed. "

Seeing this, the two mermaid guards stopped talking and returned to their posts.

No matter what decision the Grand Duke finally makes, they will implement it, even if they sacrifice their own lives.

On the throne, the Grand Duke of Halifax put the fish tail aside, supported his face with his left hand, closed his eyes, and thought peacefully.

……

In the carriage, Verin looked away from the window, looked at the mermaid mage who was concentrating with his eyes closed, and asked: "Your Excellency Sandora, can you tell us something about Princess Lydia."

Hearing this, Shandora opened her eyes, nodded and said: "Princess Lidia is the youngest daughter of the Grand Duke. She was born in the year 9660 of the Glorious Calendar. She is 89 years old this year. According to our mermaid custom of a hundred years as an adult, there are still eleven years left. Princess Lydia will hold a coming-of-age ceremony.”

"However, the era when Princess Lydia was born was during the twenty-year war between us and the Vosha Ocean Principality."

“Growing up in childhood without the company of parents can easily develop an arrogant and domineering character.”

When Weilin heard this, he nodded in agreement.

"At the end of the war, the Grand Duke also brought Princess Lydia to teach him, but contrary to expectations, the Princess developed a tolerant character. She became arrogant and domineering in her own residence, and sometimes punished the maids and guards for no reason. ”

"Fortunately, Princess Lidia's character is not extremely bad and she has not done anything too outrageous. Otherwise, she might have appeared in the border military camp by now."

The corner of Weilin's mouth couldn't help but twitch. I'm afraid that Princess Lydia is not a bad character, but knows that once she makes a big move, she will be sent to the border military camp by her father, so she is within the bottom line. , act recklessly.

However, it can be analyzed from this point that the Archduke of Halifax is still a strong man of noble character, but he is a little soft-hearted.
