639 Eliminating the Threat

The man who came for Jiang Fei was an NPC, the Master of the Seven Seas, King Elric, Ariel's father!

When his beloved daughter died, Jiang Fei was felt guilty and embarrassed of himself. He did not want to meet King Elric but since he appeared, there was no escaping the talk. 

"King Elric…" Jiang Fei fumbled with his words. He did not know how to address the matter. 

"There's no need to explain. I already know what happened," said King Elric as he wanted Jiang Fei to know that whatever happened was not his fault. 

"It's because I'm too weak to protect Ariel…" 

"Do not speak ill of yourself. When Ariel made the contract of Devotion with you, I understood how she felt about you," said King Elric as he took a deep breath. He then proceeded to explain the concept of the contract, a secret that was not shared by anyone but the Merfolk.
