Kerry never believed that his own efforts could bring hope to his future destiny.

Born in an aristocratic family was not something one could ask for. Nevertheless, as a bastard of an aristocratic family, he had no magic power and no background from his mother’s family. Even the carefree children of ordinary families were better than him.

Every time he was beaten, who would worry about him, a young master who had nothing?

[This child, who can’t even have his own follower, has no future.]

This was what his father, the gentleman who was kind and amiable to all his siblings, said to the ignorant young man when he was still a child and could just talk.

From the beginning, he was abandoned.

The cold touch on his face was still slowly rubbing, Kerry’s pupils flickered a few times, and his somewhat whitish lips moved twice.

“Can I take you with me?”

The hand that healed his wound gave a jerk. Qi Yan looked at his hopeful eyes and a faint alienation flashed across his face: “Mermaids can’t leave the water.”

“Ah!” Kerry shouted in a panic: “Sorry, I forgot!”

For fear that the mermaid would alienate him, Kerry leaned down even more. As soon as he uttered a word, he was interrupted by a voice on the beach in the distance.

“Who is there?”

It was a girl’s voice, crisp and sweet, with a hint of curiosity and inquiry in her expression.

The moment the voice sounded, Qi Yan turned around and jumped into the water. There was no word left for Kerry, no movement, just like when he came, quietly.

Kerry’s heart was filled with endless loss, but he was not a fool and did not shout out. If other people knew that there were mermaids here, they would use all means to catch Qi Yan.

On the Erli continent, mermaids were a rare race. Not only was it rare, but it was also very mysterious. Some people might not see mermaids for a lifetime. It was precisely because of this that some adventurers aimed to catch mermaids, then the live mermaids they caught would be kept in the aquarium of the museum for people to watch. If the mermaid was accidentally killed during the capture, then the mermaid would be made into a specimen.

Kerry remembered that when a little nobleman came to curry favor to Count Hilar before, he brought an injured mermaid. Count Hilar was overjoyed and paved the way for the little nobleman, although the mermaid died within a few days because of his injury.

In the words of Count Hilar, the mermaid was the pet of the noble lord.

Perhaps it’s because Kerry’s life was not even as good as that of a ‘pet’ mermaid, so he didn’t think so.

Especially after meeting Qi Yan, he hoped to have a mermaid. Not as a pet, but as a friend.

[Kerry’s favorability towards Qi Yan +10, current favorability: 20]

His first time seeing a mermaid, the basic favorability was already ten points.

Kerry pretended to stand up from the reef as if he finished enjoying the moon, patted off the gravel on his body, and turned to greet the others.

“I’m here to enjoy the moon, what can I do for you?” Kerry met Nasha’s clear-eyed gaze with a momentary flash of amazement in his eyes, but it was only a moment.

With Qi Yan as the foundation, the beautiful girl could no longer shake his position in Kerry’s heart.

Nasha’s tender face couldn’t hide the charming delicacy and her sweet and pure smile shone brightly at night: “It’s okay. I just came to take a look and saw someone here, so I asked.”

Kerry nodded and said, “Then I’m going home, you can do whatever you want.” As soon as he turned around and took two steps, his hand was caught. Kerry reflexively threw it away and looked at Nasha’s puzzled eyes in horror: “What are you trying to do!”

Nasha was also taken aback, but she didn’t expect his reaction to be so big: “I, I just saw that you’re hurt and asked if you’re okay…”

“I’m fine!” Kerry replied loudly, then turned around and fled.

Nasha looked at his drifting back, unable to recover for a long time, until the call of the godmother came from a distance.

“Nasha, where have you been?” The godmother put on a light pink leather coat for her and shook her head disapprovingly: “Ladies are not allowed to leave during the banquet. You will be disliked by Count Hilar like this.”

“I’m not leaving, Linda.” A weird smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Nasha’s mouth: “Let’s go back.”

The night remains the same, dark and lightless, without the crystal blue of the night sky on the wilderness, nor the gleaming stars.

——Tonight, after all, was the beginning of the rotation of the gears of destiny.

There was a beautiful rose bush in Earl Hilar’s mansion, white and red, like blood-colored raindrops falling on the white roses, dyeing the sporadic flowers red.

Hiding on the stone steps by the flowers, Kerry held a dilapidated book in his hand and flipped through it carefully.

This was a history book of the Erli Continent that he quietly stole from the warehouse. It recorded all the basic information about the species, life range, habits, etc. known on the continent. He would definitely not go to see these in the past, but now, he wanted to know more about mermaids.

There were very few records of mermaids in the book. Compared with the records of elves, goblins, dwarves, etc., the records of mermaids were not even one-tenth of them.

As mentioned before, mermaids did not like to live in groups and they would choose the deep sea as their living environment. Generally, mermaids would not be seen in the developed waters where people played. In addition, mermaids were not carnivorous, but feed on seaweed and sea fruits.

Therefore, it was all rumors from the world that they lured sailors with singing songs and drag them down to eat them.

Suddenly thinking that he was foolishly asking the mermaid last night if he was going to eat himself, Kerry laughed with a chuckle.

——That mermaid should be very helpless too… Would he see him when he went to the beach today?

“Hey? Is the history book so funny?”

A silver bell-like voice sounded from behind, Kerry was taken aback and quickly closed the book.

Turning his head, he found that it was the girl he met by the sea last night. Kerry breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn’t for those brothers.

“Sorry, I scared you.” The girl smiled softly: “But I don’t like reading the history book the most. Can you even read and laugh?”

“Well, I just take a casual look…” Kerry’s eyes fluttered and he changed the subject: “You, why are you here?”

“I’m here as a guest.” Nasha said, “I saw you at the banquet yesterday.”

The boy who was hiding in the corner and didn’t even dare to eat the food on the table must be him.……

Earl Hilar’s bastard who didn’t have the slightest magical talent-Kerry Hilar.

Kerry’s face stiffened and he knew it in his heart.

Yesterday, the mansion held a banquet and invited the godmother, nun and next saint of the Holy Church. Taking a closer look, this girl seemed to be the saint who was regarded as the protagonist by everyone last night.

“I still have something to do, I’ll go first…”

“By the way, I’m not familiar with this place yet, will you take me for a walk?” Nasha interrupted him and asked in a cheerful tone.

Kerry’s face turned pale. If those brothers knew that he was with the saint, it would inevitably be another difficult meal.

He wanted to refuse, but the girl’s bright and flawless eyes made Kerry unable to refuse.
