54 Chapter 54: Pearls for the Princess (1)

Two weeks had passed since Gale ordered the fishmen to gather all the best quality pearls the West Sea could get and put them in a big sack. He told them to gather it in a month, but the fishmen worked much faster and finished the request in just two

weeks.

Gale stared at the sack and checked one pearl which shone lustrously under the sun.

“These are the best we could find. We could go deeper into the sea if you want more, Your Majesty,” Mako, the fishmen king said.

"No need, this should be more than enough for now. I'll ask again if my mate demands.

more."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"What about the humans? Have you stopped them from gathering any pearls yet? I don't want them to have it as long as my wife wants it," Gale questioned.

"They came with a big ship two weeks ago, and another one a week ago. I simply sent them big waves nonstop until they couldn't even dock their ship. I also make sure that no human who came from the forest to the beach can take any. My merfolks are watching over them and ready to attack the moment they take the pearls."

“Good,” Gale commented. He paused for a moment before muttering, “Thank you.”

Mako was shocked when his King suddenly thanked him. He quickly bowed deeper than usual and said, "You don't need to thank me, Your Majesty! I'm just doing my job as you ordered!"

"Mm. You did a good job."

"T-then, please tell me if you want something from the side. We, the fishmen, will always be at your service!" Mako exclaimed.

Gale stared at the fishmen king who lifted his head and was trying to hold back his smile, but the beam of joy in his eyes made it clear that Mako was happy.

Gale understood why the fishmen king was happy because this would be the first time Gale ever thanked him-or anyone.

As the King of Beasts, it was necessary to dedicate everything you have to the king. Thus, Gale never felt the need nor had the intention to thank anyone.

He did it because he was reminded of Swan, who always thanked everyone, even the
