บท 971: A much deeper relationship

When she put it like that, it wasn't hard to understand what she meant by this.

However, it wasn't as if I could just agree to this without hearing her terms first.

Even if it was beneficial to our kingdom to accept this deal, that didn't mean that we could just accept everything that was presented to us. There were other things that had to be considered since there was only so much that we could undertake.

After looking at her with this serious look for a bit, I asked, "How much more do you want?"

The Merman Queen didn't answer this question right away as she revealed a look as if she was considering this.

After silently thinking for a bit, she suddenly turned to the Merman King instead of answering my question to say, "Honey, the budget that we already agreed on before setting off…"

The Merman King had a surprised look on his face even though her voice trailed off.

That look of surprise only grew when he heard what she said next.
