Chapter 1086: The Suspicion of the Sea Clan and the Money Not Wasted
"Probably not."
After listening to Queen Veronica's question, Leon shook his head slightly and said with a firm expression:
“When I went there just now, I took a special look at the people in that clamshell boat. There were only pure sea creatures in it, no humans, not even a second half-human.
Obviously, the people of the Saio Kingdom need time the most, but they did not take advantage of this opportunity. So I think that the Sea Clan may not have a deeper cooperation with the Saio Kingdom, and the two sides should just have a "partnership" relationship.
I'm afraid that the Kingdom of Seo needs a new queen with legitimate blood, and Wendy and the sea tribe behind her need the position of queen to achieve some of their goals, so they got together temporarily like this."
"That's it..."
After listening to Leon's analysis, Veronica, who was also very concerned about the purpose of the sea tribe, nodded, then frowned and said:
"I don't know much about the sea tribe. I just asked someone to help me check the past files in the past few days... Leon, can you guess what those sea tribes want to do?"
"I can't guess."
Lyon shook his head and said:
"When we discovered that the sea tribe seemed to have other plans, I immediately contacted the bureau, but Lord Taurus had no idea about it.
The three sea tribes are different from the three land tribes. They have been relatively peaceful for the past thousand years. Apart from being close to the Qianfan Sea Nation, they have had very little contact with the other twelve kingdoms. This is the first time they have tried to get involved in the throne of a kingdom. There has been no similar situation before. "
"That's very strange..."
Veronica was puzzled:
"Although Wendy is indeed the last bloodline of the Seol royal family, she has been 'gone' for seven or eight years after all. If they want to force her to take the position of Seol Queen, the Sea Clan will definitely have to pay a heavy price... They have put so much effort into this, so they should want some reward, right?"
"It is certain that the sea tribe has some plans, but it should not have much to do with us."
After confirming Veronica's idea, Leon recalled the hearts of the mermaids on that boat and continued to analyze:
"When I deliberately went there, the sea creatures were terrified and resisted, but they were not hostile to me... I felt that their attitude towards me should be considered resistance, but it was not the kind of resistance caused by disgust or hatred. Instead, they expressed concern for me as a person."
"Worried?"
"Maybe they're afraid that I'll ruin their plans."
After analyzing the psychological state of those sea creatures, Leon shook his head and said:
“In short, although the sea tribe has their own plans, they don’t seem to think that I am their enemy, so it shouldn’t be a big problem.
Moreover, I have just communicated with the local Capricorn branch. In the next two days, the cleaners of the entire Capricorn branch who are not on duty will keep an eye on all the sea creatures who want to approach this side until the Twelve Kingdoms Assembly is over. Lord Taurus will also help monitor from the headquarters.
If the sea creatures don’t want too much, we can stay out of it, but if they really want to do something, they will be discovered immediately and won’t have a chance to mess around.”
"That's good."
After listening carefully to Leon's preparations, Queen Veronica couldn't help but blink, then smiled and said:
"Since you have made arrangements, I feel relieved...How are Anna and the others? Are they all asleep?"
"Melanie and the others are already asleep, but Anna isn't yet."
After looking at the familiar souls busy outside the walls, Leon replied with a slightly helpless look: "When the ship sank before, although no one on our ship was hurt, we were also scared, and we were soaked in the sea water for a long time. Some of the weaker ones had a fever.
Counting the dozen sailors who had stomach upsets and were crouching in the toilet until their legs were weak, we have nearly 60 sick people on our side. The ship's doctors are short of manpower to take care of them all. Anna should be helping."
I actually went there...
After listening to Leon's words, Veronica, knowing that she had guessed right, couldn't help but sigh, and then said with a complicated expression:
"Anna has been on the ship with us for several days. Today, she took Melanie and the others out for a walk for most of the day and almost fell into the water at night. I specifically told her to have a good rest, but she still went to help."
It's normal. If she didn't do this, she wouldn't be like Anna.
Having long been accustomed to his sister's stubbornness, Leon smiled helplessly and waved his hand:
"Let her be. Anna is just like that. Although she will listen if you force her not to help, she will keep thinking about it and won't be able to rest well in the end. It's better to let her do what she wants.
As for you, you are also exhausted these days. Hurry up and lie down to have a good rest. In another thirty hours, the Twelve Kingdoms Assembly will begin."
"No rush~"
After pulling Leon to sit on the bed, Queen Veronica said with a smile:
"The more important the matter, the less likely it is to be decided at the last minute. We have already made all the necessary preparations for the Twelve Kingdoms Gathering the day after tomorrow. It will basically just be a formality. It won't be a problem for us to rest a little later... Leon, do you like shells?"
"what???"
Leon, whose thoughts were still on the Twelve Kingdoms Assembly, was almost staggered by Veronica's sudden question. He could not help but ask in astonishment:
"What shell?"
"It's the shell on Wendy's body~"
Veronica smiled and said:
"When you went over to test the attitude of the sea creatures, I looked over there with the telescope and found that you seemed to be very interested in Wendy's two shells. You stared at them for several times? And... it seemed that you even let her stand up so that you could have a good look at her?"
"..."
It turns out that you like shells so much... I have been so wronged!
Looking at the smiling Queen Veronica beside him, Leon couldn't help but said helplessly:
"I wasn't looking at her... um... Anyway, I wasn't looking at her two shells for the reason you thought, but because there was something wrong with the two shells themselves."
"What's the problem? Is it blocked too tightly?"
"Those two shells are a pair of anomalies, and they are very powerful..."
Looking at Veronica, who seemed to be either really jealous or simply taking the opportunity to tease him... or both, Leon quickly explained the reason for his "lustful thoughts" and then complained speechlessly:
"What are you thinking? How could I be interested in two shells?"
"is it?"
Veronica blinked when she heard this, and then said with a slightly regretful look:
"I thought you liked this kind of outfit very much. After the carriage docked, you even asked the maid to buy me a pair. Now it seems... huh? Aren't you not interested in shells?"
"I... I've already bought it!"
