    Chapter 48 Tentacle Monster 12 Heartbeat

    After confirming that Merik was not injured, Ewell slowly calmed down his emotions, and everything was correct.

    Haru has never appeared near the main hall, and no one thought that it would suddenly appear.It won’t attack, and it doesn’t look like it wants to attack Merik, but that doesn’t mean it’s not curious about Merik. Maybe it’s interested in things it hasn’t seen before and is attracted by Merik’s appearance.

    But if Haru keeps running with Merik…

    Evel silently hugged it and returned to the bedroom. A cold atmosphere surrounded him, and the little tentacle monster curled its lips in frustration under the depressing atmosphere.

    “It suddenly ran out and hit Uncle Xibai. Uncle Xibai was about to pick me up, but it suddenly snatched me away and took me everywhere…”

    Ewell lowered his eyes and stared at it, but still refused to speak.

    “It smells bad…” Merrick said aggrievedly.

    This time, Yiwei’er was really angry. The aura around the human being was so terrifying that it couldn’t help but want to escape.

    It pissed off the smell again.

    Merik curled his fingers tremblingly with his tentacles, looking at him pitifully with his light gray eyes.

    Evel was silent, and finally responded to the movement of the small tentacle. He lightly twisted the black tentacle and let the pink suction cup carefully stick to his finger.He sighed and said, “I don’t blame you.”

    After saying this, Evel frowned. His mood changed too much about Merik, which was not like him.

    He knew his own character very well, so he was surprised that he could be very angry inside.

    He had long since decided that Merik was not a mission target.

    Merrick observed for a long time until he was sure that the human beings were lifeless and returned to their original appearance.

    Its little eyes stared intently at Ewell’s appearance in dress.

    Ayita on the side glanced at Merik with an unclear expression.

    The last time it saw the little monster was under the moonlight. Although it could see its general appearance clearly, it was not as clear as the sunlight.

    Tsk, this little monster isn’t too ugly.

    “Okay, you go back.” Ayita couldn’t stand their atmosphere. Humans and octopuses were an eyesore no matter how he looked at them.

    ——

    A week later, the celebration began.

    Laughter filled the entire Fisli Kingdom. People put on their most gorgeous clothes one after another, and the bustling hawkers added a bit of unique color and interest to the cheerful celebration music.

    One after another, gorgeous carriages came from all over the Croleta continent towards Fisli Country.

    Their carriages are carved with various patterns and unique learning, and each country will gather in a team to go to Fisli.

    The most eye-catching thing is the national emblem totem colorful flag fluttering in the wind on the first carriage in the team. It represents a symbol of a country’s identity and strength.

    “This is Seder’s totem. There are so many carriages this year. I wonder which prince is coming this year.”

    “I heard that the princess of Sede had her coming-of-age ceremony a few days ago, and I don’t know if she will attend this celebration.”

    “Of course I will come. I heard that this princess is very gentle and beautiful.”

    Carriages entered the main city through the city gate, attracting everyone’s attention along the way.

    “Look at the last carriage. Only one person came from this country.”

    “Which country is this? I have never seen this totem.”

    Among the teams entering the main city at the same time, only the last carriage came alone. Such a unique country instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

    It has no team, only itself and an upright totem flag moving forward slowly.

    The reddish-brown wooden carriage has many patterns carved on it, but because the original materials are ordinary, it does not look luxurious and even looks a bit old.

    Ordinary people couldn’t afford a carriage. On weekdays, this carriage would attract many people’s attention when it went out. But when it appeared at this grand celebration, it seemed much ordinary when compared with other extremely gorgeous carriages.

    The maid on the carriage put down the corner of the curtain she was twisting in her hands. Her face was red and angry, she looked at the woman opposite with her lips pursed, and said angrily: “Princess, look at them…”

    Zhenya closed her eyes tightly and sat with her back straight. She was wearing a relatively simple light blue aristocratic dress, and a pair of gloves made of white silk on her arms. The huge skirt completely covered her legs, leaving only a pair of petite white leather shoes.

    Her slightly curly blond hair was tied into a complicated braid and was adorned with many precious gems.

    But her lean figure can still be seen.

    None of her moves can be considered elegant, and sometimes her movements are more like a small-town girl who has not learned enough etiquette.But she is surrounded by a unique sunshine and happy temperament, which is just the right temperament to highlight her own charm.

    “Shana.” She interrupted the maid’s unspoken words and added: “This is not Coralloland. Father did not let us participate in the celebration for fun.”

    Shana had no choice but to keep her mouth shut, and she could still hear the mutterings outside through the curtains of the carriage.

    Other countries have more than just royal princes and princesses.Even young ladies from noble families will come to the celebration to see the world, and maybe have a chance to meet their Mr. Right.

    As for Coralloran, not to mention the noble lady, Zhenya, as the princess of a country, was participating in this grand celebration for the first time.

    There is no other reason, just because Coralloran is too poor, so poor that he has almost no money to dress himself up. This carriage can only be used by King Coralloran when he travels.

    The dress she wore was the most beautiful dress she had ever worn in her life, and it took her several months to make it.

    Along the way, Zhenya would look outside through the gaps in the window curtains. The ordinary town of Feisley was almost the same as the main city of Coralarolan.

    This shows how difficult their living conditions are.

    Captain Tangre and several other captains stood in front of the palace. They needed to ensure the safety of all royal families and nobles from various countries participating in the celebration.

    Coralloran’s carriage slowly stopped in front of the palace gate.

    Shanna handed Tangere her identity certificate with a complicated expression. This awkward look made Tangere take a second look.

    Just when Shana thought she would be laughed at by the knight in front of her, Tanggre stacked the verified certificates neatly and handed them back to the maid in front of her.His eyes contained no emotion at all, and his voice was strong and powerful: “Let it go.”

    The entire celebration process takes three days. On the first day, all the royal family and nobles will enter the main hall to deliver gifts for the celebration. After that, they can repair and rest.

    The next day will be the ceremony to officially enter the main hall of Feisili, and all kings and heirs will participate.

    On the third day, most of them were attended by royal princesses, princes and noble ladies and young men. The main purpose of this banquet was to prepare a friendship banquet for young people.

    Aeta asked Ewell to find a favorite princess or lady at the banquet on the third day and have a simple communication.

    As the host prince of King Feisley, Evel needs to be in the main hall every day.

    Ayita was dressed in a gorgeous king’s uniform, with the national emblem of the Fesili Kingdom woven with gold thread on the big red shawl on her back.He looked at the king’s chair with a casual posture, holding the king’s scepter in one hand and tapping his fingertips.

    Different from his casualness, Ewell was wearing a standard golden aristocratic dress and stood beside Eita, with a tall and straight posture, clear and smooth facial lines, and a pair of unique amethyst-like eyes that made people unable to take their eyes away.

    The next second——

    The corners of the prince’s mouth raised slightly, and every movement was filled with flawless elegance, which was breathtaking.

    He is the emperor chosen by heaven.

    It wasn’t until the king of Faroran entered the main hall that his eyes met with the smiling Damon Lin in the distance. He took in Damon Lin’s guilty conscience that disappeared in less than a second, and then nodded and smiled at Damon Lin.

    As night falls, this confrontation on the field of interests is completely over.

    Ewell did not take off his heavy gown and walked back to the small palace.

    Merik floated on the sea and puffed out sea bubbles in boredom.

    When we were playing in the garden a few days ago, when we saw Shiwei wearing a white and silver dress, he fell in love with her at first sight.Although humans usually dress very gorgeously, the unpleasant smell of wearing a special dress gives it a very different feeling.Merik couldn’t tell the difference, but he just liked it very much.

    Merik wanted to see him in a dress, and as an old father, Ewell would of course agree to this small request.

    I just didn’t expect that the whole day would be over soon.

    “Uncle Xibai, when will the smell come back?” Merik’s mouth turned sour.

    Xibai scratched his head, trying to understand the meaning of the little tentacle. He thought for a while and asked, “Are you asking when His Highness will come back?”

    The wilting Merik immediately swam to the shore. Knowing that Xibai didn’t understand, he nodded quickly.

    Xibai: “Well, His Highness should be back around this time.”

    Merik’s two tentacles clung to the shore, trying to use his strength to climb out of the water. Seeing its movements, Xibai quickly stepped forward and fished out the small tentacles.

    Immediately, a thin blanket came to cover Merik completely, and Xibai gently wiped the seawater from his body.

    “I will take you out to find His Highness.” Xibai just picked it up and opened the door, and saw Ewell walking slowly outside the door.

    Merik’s little eyes widened. Under the bright light, Ewell was wearing a gorgeous dress, walking gracefully and looking at it with a smile on his lips.

    “Plop——”

    Merrick felt his heartbeat again.

    And the beating speed is very fast.

    “Jumped again.” It murmured in a low voice, seeing Avril only a few steps away from it, bending its tentacles to make a bouncing motion.

    In an instant – it flew out completely.

    This action frightened Xibai so much that he was afraid that the little tentacle would fall to the ground.He quickly took a few steps forward and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Merik crashing into the arms of his own prince.

    Ewell patted it on the head and said, “Don’t do this next time.”

    Merik’s mind was focused on Ewell, and he didn’t listen to human preaching at all. He was confident in his own abilities and would not do anything he was unsure of.

    “It smells bad, it’s beautiful!” Merik said excitedly.

    Ewell was helpless: “A man cannot be described as beautiful.”

    Merik tilted his head and couldn’t help but remember what he heard from the knights chatting in the forest. He said again: “Handsome! How handsome!”

    The corners of Ewell’s mouth were raised, and his smile was like the warm sunshine in the spring breeze, which was completely different from the one in the hall.

    Looking at Merik’s starry eyes, Ewell asked again: “Where is Merik?”

    The little tentacle thought for a while: “Merrick is cute!”

    “You go and rest.” Evel carried the lovely Merik into the bedroom.

    Xibai nodded and left here reluctantly.

    When you open the door, you will see a half-person-high water tank. The inside of the water tank is designed to be consistent with the simulated seabed.

    Although Merik can escape from the sea water, as an undersea creature, Evel still believes that soaking in more water will not hurt him.

    So he asked Xibai to prepare this water tank for Merik to sleep at night. However, on the first day, only the little tentacle monster soaked in it for a while out of curiosity. It only took half an hour before it dug out of the water tank and ran to bed.

    The moment he jumped out, he hit the ground directly. A loud noise not only made Ewell stand up, but even Xibai was awakened by the movement and came to look for him.

    At night, Ewell stared silently at the large puddle of water on the ground.

    From then on, Merik said he didn’t want to sleep in the water tank, and Ewell didn’t force it, but he didn’t let Xibai evacuate the water tank.

    Merik lay quietly on the bed, waiting for Yinwei to play with him after taking a bath.

    It was extremely boring, with its eight tentacles swinging aimlessly.

    Suddenly, an itch suddenly shot up from one of the tentacles. Merik jumped up in shock and stood on the bed, rubbing the itchy tentacles continuously. Perhaps the position was wrong, and the itch did not relieve but became more unbearable.

    Merik quickly raised his tentacles, endured the feeling and observed for a while but found nothing wrong.

    In the end, it couldn’t stand it anymore, and its little face wrinkled into a ball.

    The moment Ewell came out, his expression darkened.

    On the bed in front of him, Merik was crawling on two tentacles holding his head, staring intently at a tentacle that was twisting not far away.

    It proactively severed one of its tentacles.

    Evel hadn’t seen it cut off its tentacles for so long that he had almost forgotten how special the Merik in front of him was, but he didn’t immediately question it, and walked to its side and asked lightly: “What’s wrong?”!

    Merik was originally afraid of being taught a lesson by him, but when he heard the human’s concern, he couldn’t help but run to Ewell’s side, accusing the tentacles of their viciousness.

    Finally, he said aggrievedly: “Merrick is sick.”

    Ewell was silent for a few seconds.

    “Can I see your tentacles?”

    “Of course.” Merik immediately controlled the tentacles and ran towards Ewell.

    “…”

    Anyone who sees a single tentacle running towards him will be scared.

    Ewell picked up the tentacle, and it stiffened and stopped twisting.

    He observed carefully and finally found a thin film around the tentacle suction cups.It seems that this film has been there for a long time, but it is only because Merik is soaked in sea water every day that it shows signs of peeling off.

    He had an idea in his mind and asked 009. After getting the exact answer, he returned the tentacle to Merik and said: “You are not sick, you are just shedding your skin.”

    Merik was puzzled: “Why do I shed my skin?”

    “You’ve grown up.”
