Chapter 599: Two Problems of Grand Duke Halifax

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

Two golden mid-level mermaid guards pushed open the heavy palace door and then stood in.

Stepping on the stone slabs, Weilin always paid attention to the surrounding environment.

Above the hall, a middle-aged mermaid lay on the throne, and at its tail, two beautiful mermaids carefully wiped the 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."

Grand Duke Halifax opened his eyes, waved his hand to let the maid retreat, and then swung his tail and straightened his body.

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

Weilin entered the hall, looked directly into the eyes of Grand Duke Halifax, put his right hand on his chest, and bowed: "Welin Axe meets Grand Duke Halifax."

Kyle and Odor followed closely behind, saluted to Grand Duke Halifax together, but did not report their names.

"Please stand up."

Grand Duke Halifax raised his hand, operated the water flow, and helped the three people stand up.

Welin stood up and looked at Grand Duke Halifax, then lowered his eyes and looked at the steps to show his respect for the legend.

Grand Duke Halifax couldn't help but nodded to the actions of the three humans in front of him. He felt the power of the black-haired young man, which made him feel a little good.

He met many arrogant and ignorant humans, and there were also many humble and polite humans, but there were very few humans who could make him feel good.

"Clarissa, the chief of the Ilrus tribe, recommended you to me. I wonder why you came to see me?"

Faced with the inquiry of Grand Duke Halifax, Weilin hesitated for a moment and told the truth: "Grand Duke Halifax, I came here this time hoping to gain your friendship, to get in touch with the Mermaid Kingdom in the sea near the Sinops subcontinent, and to open up trade between the two sides."

"This is the first time I've seen such frankness." Grand Duke Halifax was a little surprised, looking at Weilin, and said, "But it's not so easy for you to gain my friendship."

Weilin kept a humble look, did not speak, and waited at ease.

Grand Duke Halifax thought for a moment, raised three fingers, and said: "If it was in the past, if a human dared to say this, I would have asked the guards to drive him out long ago, but today, I am in a good mood. As long as you can complete my request, I will recognize you."

"Please speak clearly, Grand Duke." Weilin said slowly, without showing any urgency, so as not to make the other party unhappy.

"I have two problems."

"First, make my daughter Lydia no longer arrogant and be humble to others."

"Second, make my mother smile again."

"I will give you three months. As long as you can complete one of them, you will have my friendship."

"Within the time limit, you can enter and exit Silver Sea City and other areas of the Halifax Mermaid Principality freely."

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

"Shandora."

Outside the hall, the mermaid wizard heard the call of the Grand Duke, entered the hall, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Grand Duke, please give your orders."

"In these three months, you will be the guide of the three guests and meet their reasonable requests."

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

Then, Grand Duke Halifax waved his hand and sent the three people and one mermaid out of the hall.

"Master Shandora, I'm sorry to bother you during this period."

"It's my job. Just tell me what you need." The mermaid mage replied with a smile.

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

"Okay."

"You decide."

Seeing that the three had made a decision, the mermaid mage called a seahorse carriage and led Weilin and the other two to the residence of Lydia, the seventh daughter of Grand Duke Halifax.

Inside the hall, the mermaid guard standing on the left asked: "Grand Duke, Princess Lydia is arrogant and rude, and she often looks down on others. Can these three humans change her character?"

Hearing this, Grand Duke Halifax showed a look of self-blame: "Lydia has developed this character today because of my and Nairdis's negligence in discipline."

"As a superior, if you can't correct her character, she will be ruined by your own hands sooner or later."

"There are still ten years. If there is no change at all and she is still like this, then temporarily deprive her of the title of princess and send her to the barracks. When will she learn Be humble and return to Silver Sea City when you can. "

Hearing the words of Grand Duke Halifax, the mermaid guard standing on the right advised: "Grand Duke, although we have maintained peace with the Wosha Ocean Principality, small-scale frictions have never decreased. Is it inappropriate to send Princess Lydia to the border military camp?"

"There is nothing wrong. If my descendants of Halifax die for the country, I will think it is a gift from the gods of mermaids and singers. If they die because of arrogance, I will feel ashamed."

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

No matter what decision the Grand Duke makes in the end, they will execute it, even if they sacrifice their lives.

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

……

In the carriage, Weilin withdrew his gaze from the window, looked at the mermaid mage who closed his eyes and asked, "Sir Sandora, can you tell us something about Princess Lydia?"

Sandora opened her eyes and nodded, saying, "Princess Lydia is the youngest daughter of the Grand Duke. She was born in 9660 of the Glorious Calendar and is 89 years old this year. According to our mermaid custom of 100 years of adulthood, Princess Lydia will hold her adulthood ceremony in 11 years."

"However, when Princess Lydia was just born, we were in the 20-year war with the Wosha Ocean Principality."

"Growing up in childhood, lacking the company of parents, it is easy to develop an arrogant and domineering character."

Weilin nodded in agreement.

"When the war was over, the Grand Duke brought Princess Lydia to teach him, but it didn't go as planned. Instead, the princess developed a forbearing character. She was arrogant and domineering in her own residence, and sometimes punished maids and guards for no reason."

"Fortunately, Princess Lydia's character is not so bad that she didn't do anything too outrageous, otherwise she would have appeared in the border camp now."

Wei Lin's mouth twitched a little. I'm afraid that Princess Lydia is not extremely bad, but she knows that if she makes a big noise, she will be sent to the border camp by her father, so she will act recklessly within the bottom line.

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