Chapter 207 Otohime's Request, Caesar's Choice
"Well, Lord Neptune and the princess, I won't bother you any more." Luke said goodbye to Neptune and Princess Otohime, "Thank you both for your hospitality!"
At this moment, Lu Kai was not in the mood to stay here any longer. He came to Fishman Island for Caesar. Faced with such a result, there was naturally no reason for him to stay any longer.
The Great Pirate Era had not yet begun at this time, and the number of pirates was not large, so Fishman Island was still relatively stable. In addition, with the arrival of Lukai, all the pirates ran away, and at this moment Fishman Island was even more harmonious.
The mermaid princess Shirahoshi is still nine years away from being born, and the perverted Vanda Deiken has not yet become a threat.
Hodi Chince, who almost destroyed Fishman Island in the future, is only a one-year-old child at this moment, and Luke himself doesn't know why he stays here.
"Sir Lucai, this is our problem. Don't worry, we will find a good family to raise Caesar." Neptune said quickly.
Lu Kai sighed and said, "He is the child of a criminal. He was abused by human traffickers and even saw his mother die tragically in front of him. Can an ordinary family comfort his wounded heart?"
"Lord Luke, how about this?" Princess Otohime said, "Leave this child with me, and I will teach him myself."
"Thank you, Princess Otohime, but I still want to see Caesar's own wishes." Lu Kai didn't say much. He took Xiaolong and Su Luo out and soon found Caesar curled up in a corner.
Then Lu Kai asked about his wishes, asking him whether he was willing to follow him or stay in the Dragon Palace and be taught by Princess Otohime herself.
However, when they saw that Caesar didn't say a word but held Luke's arm tightly and refused to let go for a moment, everyone immediately had the answer in their minds.
"Sir Lu Kai, are you really not going to stay for a moment?" Princess Otohime looked at Lu Kai hopefully and said, "I still have something to say to you."
Luke hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. In a hall in the Dragon Palace, there were only Neptune, Princess Otohime and Luke.
"Sir Luquet, you seem to be different from ordinary humans." Neptune spoke first.
"What's the difference? They both have one nose and two eyes." Lu Kai said with a smile.
"Many humans are either afraid of us or discriminate against us, but you are not like that, nor are your disciples and sisters, and even your soldiers," Neptune continued.
"Why should we be afraid? Why should we discriminate?" Lu Kai said, "I have told my subordinates that any life that shares the same emotions as us is our kind. Apart from our appearance, there is no essential difference between us."
Luke's words hit Neptune's chest like a heavy hammer, and Princess Otohime also looked at Luke in surprise.
“Then are you willing to help us?” Princess Otohime suddenly asked hopefully, “I have always wanted the residents of Fishman Island to live on the surface, hoping to resolve the barriers between mermaids and humans, and I have been working hard, but…
“But now the results are minimal. People are afraid and resist because they don’t understand. But among the people I have come into contact with, there is Mr. Roger who is willing to get along with us in a friendly manner.
"There are also humans like you, Mr. Luke, who treat us equally from the bottom of their hearts and can do this for a fish-man child."
"Although I want to help, unfortunately, I can only help you to a limited extent." Lu Kai shook his head and said, "Princess, you may not know much about the human navy. My power is in the military, not in the government, so I can't influence the decision of the World Government or the Celestial Dragons.
"But Princess Otohime, you don't have to be discouraged, because I believe that one day your wish will come true. There will definitely be someone willing and able to help Fishman Island. Your efforts will definitely not be in vain."
Princess Otohime couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she heard Lu Kai's words, but she still smiled to encourage herself and said, "I also believe that my efforts will not be in vain."
After finishing the conversation with Neptune and Princess Otohime, Luke brought Xiaolong and others to Coral Hill.
Coral Hill is located in the southeast of Fishman Island. It is a very prosperous port town in the Ryugu Kingdom. At this time, many marines under Lukai's command are playing here.
"Master, where are we going now?" Su Luo asked Lu Kai excitedly, "Are we going to find the mermaid lady?"
"You guys are free to move around. I'll take Caesar to the Sea Forest to pay tribute to his father and build a tomb for his mother!" Lu Kai said.
Then Luke pulled Caesar and teleported to the seabed forest northeast of Fishman Street.
Arriving at the Sea Forest, Luke quickly found the grave of Caesar's father according to the location Neptune said, and buried the body of Caesar's mother here as well.
While making a scene at the auction house, Luke found the body of Caesar's mother and brought it out.
Caesar knelt in front of his parents' grave and cried, and Lu Kai did not disturb him.
Caesar had experienced a lot today and needed a lot of time to digest it all. As a result, he knelt for three hours.
I don’t know if during these three hours, Caesar and his parents had a silent communication in their hearts. Although his eyes were still evasive when he looked at Lu Kai, they were no longer so fearful.
"Mr. Luke, thank you!" Caesar suddenly said to Luke.
"Good boy, you never need to say thank you to me, because I'm just doing what I think I should do." Lu Kai said.
However, Caesar did not continue speaking. The two sat opposite each other and fell into a long silence.
"If I were as powerful as you, would my mother not have to die?" Caesar suddenly spoke after a long time.
Lu Kai was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded seriously.
"But I have nothing!" Caesar's eyes turned red again after just crying, but he seemed to have grown up suddenly.
"No, you still have life!" Lu Kai shook his head and said, "The life your parents gave you carries their hopes.
"It is also the life that your mother sacrificed her own life to protect. It is also the life that your father cherishes so much that he would not be able to live without it. Your life."
Caesar's eyes became even wetter. The thought of his parents made him feel extremely painful, but Lu Kai's words had a great impact on him.
"Mr. Luke, how should I live?" Caesar continued to ask.
"You shouldn't ask me, you should ask yourself. But no matter how you want to live in the future, I will support you unconditionally." Lu Kai said seriously.
"My mother told me that those people are very pitiful. They also have families, friends, and homes. They shouldn't have to go through this." Caesar suddenly seemed to have made up his mind and said, "I want to save them."
Lu Kai grinned when he heard this, looked at Caesar, nodded, and said, "Go ahead and save him if you want."
"But I'm too weak. Can you teach me to become stronger?" Caesar suddenly asked Luke embarrassedly.
