Chapter 118 Be My Mermaid Forever
Beautiful shells and rare pearls are collectible for girls.

Concave pebble beach.

Philomela walked to the edge of the beach excitedly, turned and said to Roy, Procne, and Keone.

"Let's all come to the competition! Let's see who finds the most valuable thing first, and the winner can ask me a request. If I win by myself, let brother Roy fulfill my request."

Now not only Roy and Procne, but even Kaone also regards Philomela as her younger sister, so Roy, Procne, and Kaone did not object to Philomela's proposal.

Procne, Philomela, and Kione scattered all over the beach looking for shells and pearls, and Roy also walked aimlessly along the beach.

But Roy's purpose is not to compete with the girls, but to admire marine life such as turtles, crabs, jellyfish, fish and shrimp.

When turtles, jellyfish, fish and shrimp saw Roy approaching, they would take the initiative to stay away from Roy.

The crab is worthy of being a creature that walks sideways. Not only will it not run away when it sees Roy, but it will open two crab claws to threaten Roy.

Looking at the big crab with its claws open, Roy knelt down and teased it.

"You crab is really domineering, then let me play with you!"

While speaking, Roy picked up a clam shell next to him and reached for the crab.

The fearless crab immediately stretched out its claws to grab the shell.

Roy immediately stood up and lifted the crab into the air.

Seeing that the crab was picked up by himself without releasing the claws, Roy carried the crab to a prawn.

After the crab clamped the prawn with another crab claw, the prawn also fought back in self-defense and attacked the crab with two shrimp claws.

Just when Roy was having a great time playing like a childlike adult, Philomela found a beautiful golden and white shell, and ran to Procne and Chione to show off her victory.

After showing off in front of Procne and Kione, Philomela walked behind Roy and said.

"Brother Roy, look at what a beautiful shell I picked up."

Hearing Philomela's footsteps, Roy stood up with a mischievous idea, then turned around and brought the connected clams, crabs, and prawns to Philomela.

"ah--"

Seeing the crabs and prawns fighting together suddenly, Philomela screamed in fright and took two steps back.

After calming down, Philomela said very unhappy.

"Brother Luoy, you actually scare me with such things, do you think I'm afraid of them?"

After speaking, Philomela picked up a stone and threw it at him.

Seeing that the innocent crabs and prawns were about to be crushed to death by Philomela, Roy immediately shook the shells and threw the crabs and prawns into the sea.

Click!
Although the stone thrown by Philomela missed the crab and prawn, it hit the clam shell that Roy was holding.

Roy was about to throw away the broken shell, but found a silver ball inside the shell.

"Is this... a pearl?"

Roy took out the silver ball and confirmed that it was really a pearl, then handed the silver pearl to Philomela and said.

"My little princess, I give you this pearl as an apology, don't be really angry."

Philomela stared blankly at the silver pearl in Roy's hand, and the stone in her hand fell on the beach.

"It's really a pearl! Brother Roy, you picked up a pearl."

After regaining her senses, Philomela snatched the silver pearl from Roy's hand, and still observed the silver pearl in disbelief and said.

"It's the first time I've seen such a round pearl. Brother Roy, you are so lucky to have picked up such a rare pearl."

"It's just a pearl, it's not that rare."

Because of the cultured pearls in the modern world, which have made pearls more and more common, Roy really doesn't think pearls are so precious.

"Brother Roy really doesn't know the value of pearls?"

Philomela looked at Roy in surprise and said.

"Even if it is the most common pearl, one can be exchanged for at least one hundred catties of grain. The silver pearl picked up by brother Luo Yi can be exchanged for at least one thousand catties of grain. It is said that Phoenician merchants sold pearls to places far away from the sea. When inland, ordinary pearls can be exchanged for a thousand catties of grain, and the pearls picked up by brother Luo Yi can be exchanged for ten thousand catties of grain."

"Pearls are so valuable—"

Knowing the value of pearls in this era, Roy immediately thought of cultured pearls.

People in this era can only try their luck if they want to get pearls.

But Roy knows the principle of artificially cultured pearls, and he can grow as many pearls as he wants.

Even the most common pearls can be exchanged for a hundred catties or even a thousand catties of grain, which is a huge profit.

Thinking of artificially cultured pearls, which is equivalent to giving oneself a mountain of gold and silver, Roy hugged Philomela's slender waist with both hands excitedly, hugged Philomela and said in a circle.

"You are wonderful, Philomela. You have given me a good idea."

"Brother Roy—"

Being hugged by Roy and spinning around, Philomela blushed with shame, not knowing how to react.

It wasn't until Procne and Kione came over that Roy put down Philomela and explained.

"Procne! Chione! Thanks to Philomela, I have a brilliant idea that will lead to infinite wealth."

Seeing Roy holding Philomela in his arms all the time, Procne had a strange face, but said as if he didn't see it.

"That's wonderful, and it looks like we're going to reward Philomela."

"The one who should be rewarded is brother Roy."

Philomela said while showing the silver pearl to Procne and Chione.

"Brother Roy is so lucky to have picked up such a rare pearl. Brother Roy! I can satisfy one of your requirements as a reward. What request do you want from me?"

Under the gaze of Procne and Kaone, Roy hesitated for a moment, then said with a serious expression and a firm tone.

"I want you to be my mermaid forever."

Philomela is a 15-year-old big lolita.

Not a five-year-old girl, of course Philomela could understand Roy's words.

She just froze for a moment, then said with a bright smile.

"I also want to be with brother and sister Roy forever."

Hearing Philomela's words, Roy was not as happy as expected.

Because Roy knew that Philomela was willing to stay by Roy's side because she felt that Procne would become Roy's wife, so she was willing to be Roy's concubine.

It was revealed that Harmonia was also Roy's fiancée——

What was waiting for Roy was no longer Procne and Philomela's sisters serving together, but the Shura field where the two sisters broke out together.

After recovering, Roy said to Procne with an apologetic expression.

"Procne, will you forgive me?"

Procne said with a smile.

"Philomela is willing to stay with brother Roy, and of course I don't want to be separated from my only sister. The real problem that brother Roy needs to face is not me, but father and mother. Both Philomela and I are Roy Brother Yi's wife, father and mother will definitely not let such a shameful thing happen to the family."

"I will find a way to convince my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

When Roy overthrew his father-in-law Pandion and became the supreme ruler of Athens, Pandion and Zeuxiper naturally had no right to prevent Roy from being with Procne and Philomela.
