“Young miss, you have to be paying your taxes regul…. no, I came here after hearing great praise about the delicious apples that you sell.”
So Helen wiped a well ripe red apple with a tea-towel, and gave it to the prince.
After eating the apple in a satisfied manner, he said this.
“I will be holding… a ball, this Saturday. However, as I have not yet decided on my partner, may I invite you to join me?”
The prince tried to pick her up… no, ask her for a date.
Helen didn’t know what to do, so she replied.
“I’m sorry, but I have some things to do, so I don’t have any time.”
Because the girl had stepsisters and the foster mother who despised her.
The prince spoke again.
“But you won’t have to work on that day. Everyone will be resting as it is His Majesty the King’s birthday. Who is making you work so hard?”
Not only was the prince handsome, he was wise as well. Helen’s background was quite famous throughout the kingdom, so the prince was well aware of her situation.
“If they are not ignoring me as a prince, no one should be able to order you to work.”
Her foster-mother and the stepsisters became as pale as ghosts. They
wouldn’t dare to keep Helen at bay and ignore the prince’s warning.
Eventually, Helen was allowed to attend the ball, and the promised date of Saturday came.
The prince liked this gentle lady, and Helen was sure she could live happily with the prince.
But unfortunately, Helen wasn’t able to attend the ball.
Because she didn’t have have a good bag to bring to the ball.

This third-rate story that he made up on the spot!
The young Mermaids reaching the peak of their emotions started to weep.
-Whaaaaa.
-Sniff.
Weed diligently gathered the tears that fell onto the deck in a bottle.
In exchange for the tears, Weed’s clothes, bags and accessories sold like pancakes.
Excluding the things he could sell normally, he was able to rip off a profit of at least over 35000 Gold!
The antiques received from the Mermaids could only be truly valued on the mainland.
The rusty swords that couldn’t even be drawn were worthless, but they could be melted down to create other weapons.
Mermaids’ handiwork or their accessories could fetch a high price on the mainland.
The 35000 Gold was the lowest estimated profit, so his profit for the day was an astronomical one.
- Thank you. I’ll use it well.
“Come back whenever you want.”
-I’ll be back tomorrow.
“I’ll have a lot of new products waiting for you then.”
Dressed in leather clothes, hats and holding bags, they jumped into the sea.
Players often envied rich Mermaids, but were unable to attack them.
According to the legends on the Versaillian Continent, Mermaids were the children of the God of the Sea, and friends of Sea Dragons. So hunting them would bring divine retribution on the hunters. Also, as they had authority over marine animals, angering them would bring headaches.
But on the contrary, Weed received their thanks.
This was because Weed stayed true to his principles of ripping off the customers while satisfying them at the same time.
“Mermaids are also women, so they should like shoes, but what a shame. I could’ve sold new heels for a really expensive price…. I know, I’ll make some webbed feet and sell that!”
Weed was busy trying to corrupt these innocent Mermaids.
Whether on land or at sea, people were victimised wherever Weed passed by!
za, users formed parties and departed for dungeon crawling or hunting.——————————————————————————–
Navigating back to the Northern part of the continent, where Morata was placed, was faster than the trip to Jigolaths, with the help from the winds and the sea current.
The mysterious sunrise and sunset of the sea, and a distant singing voice that could be heard.
A sea journey is great for creating those special memories and romance.
.
Hwaryeong and the other members were enjoying the rare boat cruise by sunbathing or looking at the view.
Yellowy was also resting on the warm deck, lying down on its stomach.
Mooooooo!
They were taking a break while eating some hot octopus chowder.
The bull normally wasn’t able to eat such delicacy, but all of that would be deducted from his pay!
Yellowy closed his eyes and rested comfortably.
He had worked hard in Jigolaths, so it was now time for him to rest.
On their trip back to Morata, Weed’s party and the Sculptured Lifeforms had boarded on three different ships.
