The youth had a delicate, refined appearance.

His face was small, his skin snow–white, and his features were exquisite. He possessed an androgynous beauty.
But what really drew attention was his long, pale blue hair, which flowed down like waves, covering most of his body and trailing into the water.
He wore a golden crown topped with a large pale blue gemstone, and a colorful shell necklace hung around his slender neck.
His upper body was almost entirely hidden by his wavy, long hair and necklace, revealing just a hint of his snow–white skin, while his lower half was a long, beautiful fishtail, also pale blue.
He was gorgeous, with an almost otherworldly charm.
But his brows were tightly knit, and his pale blue eyes shimmered like water, filled with sadness.
What a handsome, brooding young man.
At that moment, he was sitting on a giant white seashell, his head slightly bowed as he scribbled something on
a slip of paper. Then he rolled it up, stuffed it into a glass bottle, and sealed it tight.
As if sensing something, he looked up and locked eyes with Leeanne from afar.
Leeanne saw his profile. [Merman prince Elvis: Level unknown. Affection meter: 8.]
“That’s a pretty decent affection score,‘ Leeanne thought. ‘He probably won’t attack me, right?‘
Leeanne quickly flashed a big smile and waved. “Hi, nice to meet you.”
At the same time, she turned to the sea demon vine. “Hey, Viney, can you make your flowers look similar to the prince’s hair color?”
The sea demon vine replied, “No problem.”
In a flash, all the pink and purple flowers on the raft turned into pale blue with a gentle gradient, their golden stamens matching the prince’s crown. They looked gorgeous.
Leeanne saw the merman prince’s eyes light up, suddenly looking much more lively.
His brows also relaxed a bit.
‘This is promising,‘ Leeanne thought.
Leeanne’s raft was getting closer and closer to the prince’s shell. She flashed a smile and greeted him again, “Hi, nice to meet you.”
She had no clue what the prince liked or hated, so she decided to keep quiet as much as possible.

“The less I say, the less I mess up, Leeanne thought.
The prince met Leeanne’s gaze and nodded slightly.
‘Great, he’s open to communication, Leeanne thought.
Leeanne quickly flashed a big smile. “I’m Leeanne. And you?”
After a moment of silence, the merman prince finally replied quietly, “Elvis.”
His voice was pleasant, almost like the sound of a clear musical instrument.
Leeanne said, “That’s a really nice name.”
Little Blue, Snowy, Fluffy, and Little Seal all spotted the merman prince.
Except for Little Seal, who was still glued to the breeding tank, Little Blue and Snowy both moved to the edge of the raft.
Little Blue wiped away some drool and whispered, “That’s one big fish. He looks all soft and tender.”
Snowy kicked it. “Shh! Are you trying to get yourself killed?”
Leeanne shot Little Blue a fierce glare.
Luckily, the merman prince was lost in his own world and seemed oblivious to their conversation.
The giant shell drew near to the raft, but then began to drift away again.
Leeanne got a bit anxious and quickly searched for something else to talk about.
When chatting with someone, one had to figure out what the other person liked. Since she still had no clue about the prince’s interests, she asked cautiously, “I like playing chess. What about you? Do you have any hobbies?”
The merman prince looked up, his eyes a little lost.
Leeanne noticed him quietly raise his hand, as if fiddling with something.
Out of nowhere, his face shifted. He twisted around, and with a loud splash, his huge fishtail sent a wave of water spraying right at Leeanne.
Leeanne was startled and quickly stepped back.
“Splash!” The spray landed on her raft, drenching her clothes.
Little Blue and Snowy couldn’t get away in time, and both got
soaked.
Little Blue was furious, shaking its head. “You jerk, I’m going to kill you.”
It spread its wings, ready to throw down, but Snowy calmly stepped on Little Blue’s tail.

Little Blue spun around. Let me go. I’m going to peck that stupid fish’s tail to shreds.”
Snowy gave him a deadpan look. “You really think you can take him down?”
Little Blue snapped back, “So what if I can’t? Haven’t you ever heard of bluffing”
Leeanne wiped her face.
She looked up and saw the merman prince’s shell drifting further and further away.
He’s leaving Leeanne thought. No way am I letting the merman prince slip away!
She quickly shouted, “Radar, Viney, let’s go. Catch up to him.”
The Omni Radar kicked into high gear, slicing the raft through the waves at top speed.
The sea demon vine swung its vines, giving the raft an extra boost.
The raft sped across the waves, but the merman prince’s shell was even faster. Leeanne refused to give up kept up the chase for a good half hour, but eventually, he vanished from sight.
‘Man, rebellious teens are impossible, Leeanne thought.
Leeanne had no choice but to stop.
Suddenly, the sea demon vine whipped out its vines and grabbed two bottles. “Master, that little prince has been scribbling notes and tossing them into the sea in message bottles.”
Leeanne said, “Let me take a look.”
Well, chasing him all that time wasn’t a total waste. At least she managed to pick up the prince’s message bottles.
Maybe these bottles would reveal what was really going on in the prince’s head.
Leeanne tipped out the notes from both bottles and looked them over.
The first note read: [I love my mom, but I don’t think she’s ever loved me.]
and
The second note read: [I left in a hurry this time, so I didn’t bring my beloved musical instruments. I really miss my harp and flute. They’re my best friends.]
Leeanne’s eyes lit up. She thought, ‘Not bad, I actually found something useful.
“The merman prince’s family drama? That’s none of my business. But he mentioned that he wanted musical instruments. If I give Elvis a musical instrument, he’ll totally love it.
Leeanne was excited for a moment, but then her brows furrowed in worry.
‘But where am I supposed to find a musical instrument? The prince likes harps and flutes. Where on earth am I supposed to get those?‘ Leeanne thought.
