Chapter 61 The prince who learned the truth
Prince Eric could never forget that girl's face.
The amnesiac girl he picked up from the coast.
"Why? Why is she there?"
He never expected to see the amnesia girl again in this scene. There was a turbulent wave in his heart, much bigger than the dark waves in the crystal ball picture.
He saw that the girl in the crystal ball picture had the same light body and beautiful face as she does today. The difference was that her lower body was not the slender legs of today, but a beautiful and light fish tail decorated with pearls and Shells sway flexibly in the rushing waves.
"This is, this is?"
The prince was trembling and speechless. His eyes were fixed on the face of the little mermaid on the crystal ball, fixed on that face that was imprinted deep in his soul that could not be forgotten.
How many times, how many times, he held that girl's arm to watch the sunrise and sunset.
Behind them was either a bright red rising sun or a bloody sunset. The sunlight near the ground stretched their shadows.
How many times, how many times, he gave the girl expensive clothes made of silk and gauze, held the girl's hand, and walked in the corridor of the palace.
Everyone who saw the girl's walking posture couldn't help but turn around and praise it. This was the lightest posture they had ever seen in their lives. It was so light that it didn't look like a human walking on the ground, but like a fish leaping in the water - And today the prince saw what the girl looked like when she was still in the water.
He remembered that day, the girl stood alone in the center of the palace hall, gently raised her chin to reveal her slender neck, and sang a song.
It was the most beautiful song in the world, and the migratory birds passing by in the sky couldn't help but turn around. The waiter who poured the wine forgot that the wine was overflowing from the golden cup. When the prince heard the song, he only remembered tears and applause, and forgot all words of praise, because human words could not describe this non-human song.
——Until today, the prince didn’t know why that girl had such a beautiful singing voice, because it was indeed not a human song.
The prince was speechless. Hot tears flowed down from his beautiful black eyes, leaving two lines of tears on the young man's handsome face.
In the picture of the crystal ball, the little mermaid hugged the prince tightly in the violent sea, not daring to relax for a moment.
At that time, the prince's face was as pale as a dead man, his eyes were closed tightly, and he kept coughing, coughing up salty and wet sea water.
The little mermaid used all her strength to lift his head out of the water so that he could breathe fresh air. A violent storm enveloped them, and the ferocious waves pushed them to unknown places, but the little mermaid never let go.
The image of the crystal ball circulates again.
The storm ended and the sky slowly lit up.
The bright red sun rises from the east and sets on the sea.
The little mermaid took the unconscious prince and swam as far as possible to the nearest land. She looked at his eyelashes wetted by the sea water and his closed eyes, showing a charming smile.
Then, the little mermaid kissed the prince's forehead.
At the moment of the kiss, the prince's eyes opened slightly, and then closed again.
"So that's it? So that's it!"
The prince trembled, he understood, he understood everything.
No wonder the facial features of the amnesiac girl were nothing like the human woman who woke him up on the shore, but he always thought that the girl seemed to be the one who saved him.
When the little mermaid kissed the prince's forehead and his eyelids opened slightly, he remembered the beautiful but brave face of the little mermaid!
This memory merged with the appearance of the human girl who awakened him, forming the appearance of his savior in his memory. In fact, the truth is true: both of them saved him. One was after the sun rose; the other was in a dark storm, risking his life by being hit by broken masts and shipboards, and swimming in violent waves all night.
The former was remembered by him, while the latter was forgotten by him.
And the magician fairly presented him with two saviors.
"It was two girls who saved you. But I think that in your memory, their images may be merged into a blurry face." Rhine said, holding the crystal ball, "This is what you The answer to your pursuit and the truth that your father-in-law wants to know.”
Only then did the prince remember his father’s order:
"In other words, the amnesiac girl I picked up on the beach, the girl with the most beautiful singing voice in the world, is a mermaid? But I clearly saw that she has human legs!"
Rhine stroked the crystal ball again.
"The mermaid princess Ariel - the girl you picked up on the coast and the girl who saved you on that stormy night, came to this shore to find you and gain your love and an immortal soul. Go find the terrifying sea witch and cut the beautiful fish tail into human legs.”
The scene switches back to Ariel asking for the potion from the sea hag.
"My beautiful princess, hahahahaha, your wish is really stupid! You actually want to remove your fish tail, grow two human legs, and go to the shore in a deformed form."
"You want a beautiful prince to fall in love with you, pour his passionate thoughts and emotions into you, and thereby obtain an immortal soul. It is really a ridiculous fantasy for a human being to fall in love with a creature in the sea."
"..."
The prince looked at the ugly smile of the sea hag, and looked at the mermaid princess Ariel recalling her firm words with a pale face and a trembling voice. He could no longer control his crying.
In the scene of the crystal ball, Rhine deliberately made the images of himself and Aurora very blurry, making it look like the mermaid princess just happened to meet another magician in the ocean.
When the sea hag asked for the mermaid princess's voice as payment, the kind-hearted magician gave the princess a free potion.
"Thank you to the kind magician!" said the prince, "God bless you. Fortunately, he is there. Otherwise, I would never be able to hear the beautiful singing voice of that girl - I mean Ariel - in this life! There is nothing like it in the world. This is even more regrettable!”
Rhine stroked the crystal ball again and again, and scenes from different time periods appeared one after another.
Those pictures that he has personally experienced or is relatively familiar with are relatively clear, while those that he knows relatively little about are relatively blurry.
The prince saw the old grandmother stroking Ariel's beautiful long hair and telling the mermaid princess stories about humans and their immortal souls; he saw Ariel and her sisters chasing fish underwater; he saw Neptune wearing a crown on his head. and his magnificent underwater palace; he saw every aspect of the mermaid kingdom - he had known that girl for so long, but he had never understood her as well as he did today.
He knew that the girl who saved him was a princess from a kingdom in the sea - he remembered that he once said that the girl was like a princess from a foreign country, and that was exactly the case, except that the kingdom was not on the ground but under the waves. He knew the secret of the immortal soul; he knew the curse that Ariel carried; he knew that if he did not fall in love with Ariel and get married, the girl would turn into foam in the sea.
He knew everything he needed to know.
Prince Eric could no longer control himself, turned around suddenly, and flew towards the direction of Ariel's palace!
He could not wait a moment to tell her his passionate love.
Looking at the prince's retreating back, Rhine and Aurora smiled at each other.
There are still 5,000 updates during the day.
The original work does not explain why the prince felt that the little mermaid resembled the human girl who saved him. The explanation of this article is that the prince's memory of the person who saved him is actually a mixture of the two images.
