173. Ariel Misses Her Cute Underlings.

Meanwhile, in the depths of a particular ocean where the darkness was illuminated by the glowing light of bioluminescent creatures, there was a huge castle that stood tall and majestic in the Merfolk kingdom.

Inside this castle, Ariel could be seen standing before a mirror in her bedchambers as she fidgeted with the laces of her corset. "Why won't this thing fit?" She grumbled as she tried to make the corset of her dress fit her body.

Karen was also in the room with Ariel and she watched as her queen struggled with the corset.

A smile appeared on the beautiful maid's face, then she straightened her glasses before standing behind Ariel. "Relax, Your Majesty, let me help," Then she gently pried Ariel's fingers away from the lace.

While Karen worked to tighten the corset, Ariel's face reddened as she felt it tightening around her waist. "It feels tighter than usual," Ariel complained.

"Maybe it's because it's been a while since you last wore it."
