The secret that had been concealed for many years was so easily revealed to the public that the general put his hand on his forehead.

He looked at his son with eyes that seemed much older, and sighed: "How can you tell others a life-threatening secret?"

Once the king finds out that Carl Dodd is a boy, their entire general family will face disaster.

Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, not to mention they have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor!

His Majesty the King has many maids, but he has no descendants.

As a general, he holds a pivotal position in the entire kingdom. Although His Majesty appears to think highly of him, he knows very well that His Majesty's suspicion of him has never diminished.

After learning that his wife had given birth to a daughter, the king's tone was meaningful: "Since you already have a daughter, you don't want another son."

Karl's voice interrupted the general's memory: "Father, you don't have to worry. Your Highness the Seventh is my friend, and she will never tell anyone else about this."

Looking into His Majesty Seventh Prince's beautiful eyes like the sea, a trusting smile bloomed at the corner of Karl's mouth.

Facing the boy's frank smile, the girl subconsciously hugged Alice tightly, hesitated for a moment, nodded and whispered: "Well, I won't tell others."

For some reason, when she learned that Karl was a teenager, she felt a strange and slightly throbbing feeling in her heart.

Like flowers picked by bees, swaying slightly in the wind.

Carl Brick looked at Jason and Alice, and the smile on his face remained unchanged: "I believe in His Majesty Seventh Prince. I also believe in you."

Before Alice could speak, Jason, who was standing behind her, cleared his throat, crossed his hands on his chest, and tried his best to make his smile look sincere:

"Hahaha... How could we leak the secret? We don't look like bad people, right?"

The general sneered, his eyes swept over the blond girl, and landed on the boy with an exaggerated smile. He said solemnly: "Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts. Someone who looks like a bad person is not necessarily a bad person, and a simple appearance is not necessarily a good person!"

His eyes were very sharp, like a raptor staring at its prey: "How can you prove that you are trustworthy based on your looks alone?"

The smile on his face instantly became stiff, as if he had choked on the bread. Jason pointed at His Majesty Seventh Prince on Alice's back, trying to explain:

"We came here to help her! She believes in us, why can't you believe us?"

The general didn't believe his explanation at all, "There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. You definitely have some agenda for helping His Highness the Seventh."

Carrying the long knife on his shoulder, he seemed to see through the young man's inner desire, "The shark's tears are priceless. I think you are willing to help her, just to get her tears."

Jason opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but he couldn't help but feel guilty. After all, Alice did accept the shark's diamond deal.

Seeing that the situation became tense, His Highness the Seventh Prince couldn't help but said: "I do this willingly! General, please don't blame Alice!"

Upon hearing this name, both Karl's and the general's expressions changed.

The smile on Karl's face became even brighter, and he asked happily: "Are you the little lion mentioned by the great prophet?"

The blond girl shrugged slightly and suggested: "Actually, you can just call me by my name."

Karl was not polite and winked playfully, "Okay, then I will call you Alice from now on."

He turned to look at his father: "Do you still doubt them now?"

The general, who had always been tall and mighty, with an informal smile, suddenly turned red and turned his head away from his son: "Of course I won't doubt that lion."

He put his hand on his forehead in embarrassment and whispered: "After all, I fell asleep listening to her stories when I was a child."

Jason looked at Alice and gave a thumbs up. Sure enough, this trick had immediate results!

I didn't expect that the general would have such a cute side.

His Highness the Seventh Prince buried his head on Alice, shook his shoulders, and burst into laughter.

The general looked embarrassed. Just as Karl was about to say something, there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor on the third floor.

The atmosphere in the room solidified instantly, as if all the air was filled with glue.

The general and Karl looked at each other, Karl put on the human skin mask again, and Alice and the other three quickly hid behind the screen.

The general returned to his majestic posture and asked in a deep voice:

"who?"

Someone outside the door replied in a low voice: "It's me, General!"

The general winked at Karl, who understood, turned around and retreated to the corner of the room, lowered his head and remained quiet, motionless, like an upright stone sculpture.

"come in."

Putting the long knife on the table, the tall man sat back down.

The door was pushed open, and a stooped white-haired old man walked in, bowed slightly and saluted: "General, there may be a problem with the king."

Hidden in the dark, Alice held her breath and listened.

Sitting on the chair, the man straightened his back and reached out to hold the long knife on the table: "What clues does the housekeeper have?"

The old man called the housekeeper raised his head, revealing a pair of clear brown eyes:

"General, an assassin has broken into the palace. Your Majesty has learned about it, but he doesn't care at all. He sent all the guards in the palace to let people search for the Lingze Holy Artifact. Those who find the Holy Artifact will not only receive a heavy reward, but even

...You can still be on an equal footing with the king!"

After hearing the news, the general frowned.

The king has a explosive and suspicious personality, and is arbitrary and authoritarian.

If there is really an assassination, His Majesty will definitely investigate to the end and eradicate the root cause, instead of being indifferent like now.

Years of military experience told him that there must be something fishy about this matter. He pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Is there any other news?"

The white-haired butler looked sad, and the wrinkles on his face were more obvious, like the bark of an ancient tree.

He sighed: "Reporting to the general, there is news from the Sharman Kingdom. The Sharman Monarch asked us to hand over His Seventh Highness. Otherwise, we will use the power of the whole country to launch a full-scale war!"

His eyes swept across the screen beside the wall. The general tightened his grip on the long knife in his hand, picked it up and put it down again, then waved his hand, "Okay, I understand. Let's go down first."

The general was never an indecisive person, so why was he so hesitant this time?

The housekeeper was confused, but it was hard for him to ask such words, so he bowed and turned around and exited the room.

Alice and others walked out from behind the screen. The general suppressed the annoyance in his heart and glanced at Carl Dodd, then fell on His Majesty Seventh Prince:

"Since you two have already met, His Highness Seventh Prince had better go back to where you belong."

He paused slightly, his tone became solemn, and a dark cloud seemed to gather between his eyebrows.

"If you stay here, it will only intensify the conflict between humans and sharks!"

As for the king's affairs, he had to go there himself.

"General, you overlooked one thing." Alice put the girl down on her back.

The girl's toes touched the ground, cold sweat dripping down her chin. She raised her head and looked directly at the human general, smiling in pain: "I have become a human."

Seeing the girl's deformed feet, Karl was startled. His throat seemed to be stuck with a fish bone. He wanted to say something but couldn't.

Even if His Majesty Seventh Prince did not explain, the General knew that she did this to see her son.

For a human friend, I gave up my noble status and comfortable life, and stayed in the human kingdom in fear, just to see him.

Such sincere friendship moved the usually calm and composed general.

What a poor child. He thought for a moment and whispered to Karl and His Majesty Seventh Prince: "I can buy you a little more time."

This was his biggest concession. Speaking of the reason, it was probably because he remembered himself when he was young...

"Your Majesty the Seventh Prince does not need to go back." Alice said in surprise, "I can meet with the mermaid monarch."

Jason's expression changed, and his tone became longer: "Ah, are you going to the sea again?"

"Senior can stay, I can go alone."
