Ariel took Lucy to the small river, probably to show her some skills. The girl watched obediently and didn't make a sound, perhaps because she was afraid of scaring away the fish.

The girl took out the metal pole she bought for barbecue from her storage ring. It was about one meter long, and one end was sharp, so it could be used to spear fish easily.

After arriving at the river, in order to avoid being noticed, she extinguished the lighting flame.

Lucy, who was suddenly in the dark, was a little scared and grabbed her clothes. Ariel patted her hand to express relief, and her red fire eyes slowly lit up in the darkness.

As the surrounding environment quieted down, the sound of rushing water from the river was particularly obvious to my ears. Under the dark vision of the fire eyes, the dark river water in front of me could not block my sight at all.

The flexible fish were swimming freely in the river, and coupled with the dark environment, they looked very difficult to catch.

But for Ariel, this is not a problem at all. With her fiery eyes, dark vision, and powerful mental lock, isn't it easy to catch a fish?

The girl slowly raised the temporary harpoon in her hand and waited quietly for the fish to swim by in the river.

The next moment, as the prey appeared, her red eyes suddenly lit up. The makeshift harpoon in the girl's hand seemed to turn into a silver light and stabbed into the water.

With the eyesight bonus of the fire eyes and good physical fitness, Ariel's stab can be said to be fast, accurate and ruthless. The fish was naturally not spared, and was stabbed directly on the pole by her.

.

"Okay, I've gained something!"

Ariel's face showed a smile of joy of harvest, and at the same time, she raised the sizable fish on the harpoon and showed off to Lucy.

The timid girl also played the role of admiration perfectly, applauded and exclaimed.

"I hit it right away, Ariel is so amazing!"

The girl also smiled, as if she had gone back to the days when the three good friends secretly ate together in the academy.

"Don't worry, wait until I fork another one and it will be enough."

Ariel said, taking off the fish from the pole and temporarily placing it on the grass beside her. With her accuracy and proficiency, it didn't take long before she stabbed another fish.

After cleaning the temporary harpoon, Ariel began to handle her prey.

He took out the knife from the storage ring, skillfully removed the scales, cut open the belly of the fish, and took out the internal organs. Then he rinsed the blood with river water and cleaned it.

A series of smooth operations dazzled Lucy next to her.

After handling the two fish, Ariel took out the barbecue rack from the storage ring and set it up. Then she raised her finger and pointed, and a small flame ignited under the barbecue rack. The girl controlled the heat and skillfully grilled the fish.

"Wow, Ariel, when did you learn this? It's really amazing!"

Lucy, the foodie, said in amazement. Apparently she had no resistance to delicious food. Staring at Ariel's eyes, little stars almost appeared.

"This is what I learned while running away from home."

Ariel thought of her experiences during this period, and a smile appeared on her pretty face.

"By the way, I heard them say that you ran away from home because you were abducted by a viscount? Is this true?"

Lucy thought about what the rumors said and couldn't help but feel curious.

"...It's true, but it doesn't count as being abducted. I took the initiative to run away with him."

Speaking of this, Ariel naturally had to explain it, and at the same time, the smile on her face couldn't help but reveal a sense of happiness.

"Are you running away from home for love as the book says? Is this an elopement?"

Lucy was naturally familiar with her best friend's temperament. Her expression of love made her feel somewhat envious. Little girls of this age always have some longing and longing for love.

"Well...it doesn't count. After all, I sneaked out just to ask Harold for answers. Who knew I would meet him later, and then I would really find the person I like."

Ariel scratched her head in embarrassment, but still whispered to explain to her friends.

"Speaking of His Royal Highness Prince Harold? I heard that his recent adventure also discovered an icy forest... He is really a perfect man. Stories about his adventures are spread everywhere..."

When she talked about Harold, Lucy's eyes suddenly lit up, and her expression became a little excited. She kept talking about gossip about Harold, mixed with various words of praise.

In words, he was almost described as unparalleled in the world, the only good man in history. Not only did the girl strongly admire him, but she could also see her concern for Harold.

Ariel, on the other hand, looked at her like this with a somewhat strange look in her eyes. Don't get me wrong, of course it couldn't be because of jealousy, but she seemed to see her old self in the other person.

The girl who reacted couldn't help but twitch her lips.

'Have you ever been like this before? Can you worship a brainless person to such an extent? It's really terrible. This is what I call a brainless fan...'

Perhaps sensing the change in her expression, Lucy, who was still chatting about Harold, suddenly changed the subject and began to express her dissatisfaction with his decision to break off the engagement, and defended her good friend.

"But why did His Highness Harold break off his engagement with Ariel? Ariel is so good and powerful, and you two are so well matched..."

Ariel couldn't help being slightly silent after hearing this. From the girl's point of view, she still hadn't completely let go of Harold. But what she didn't know was that the girl actually guessed the reason behind the breakup of the engagement.

It was really difficult for her to tell the reason when she was involved in it before, but now that she has emerged from the incident, she can actually see something. In the final analysis, maybe it is because Ariel is so good.

Harold's identity is the Imperial Prince.

No matter how dissolute he behaves, no matter how much he rejects the powerful, he cannot change this. Just because of one thing, he is the younger brother of the current emperor of the empire.

His origin was destined from the beginning, and he was at the top of the aristocratic class.

So you might as well think about it, what if he, who is already a prince, marries Ariel, who is good enough? What would you make the current emperor think?

You are a prince yourself, and at the same time you are a well-known and well-known prince. If you find such an outstanding daughter of a grand duke as your wife, are you trying to join forces to rebel against me and seize my throne?

It wouldn't matter if the person Harold was marrying was just a canary in a vase with no ability. After all, if you don't have ability, you will be ignored, even if your family background is strong.

But an outstanding girl like Ariel, who is both strong and has a good family background, really makes the one on the throne uneasy. After all, being suspicious is a common problem among kings.

So Ariel can probably understand now that Harold said he couldn't help himself. He was probably forced by the emperor to break off the engagement with the Melos family.

But these are just the girl's guesses after all. There are some hidden secrets that she doesn't quite understand yet. Maybe she can gain something from this trip to the imperial capital.

Ariel thought of this in her mind, but had no intention of explaining it to Lucy. After all, in her opinion, the girl was simple and naive, and it was too cruel and too early to tell her these realities.

The girl still wants her best friend to remain as innocent and innocent as she is now. After all, the more she learns about him, the more troubled and dangerous he becomes.

So Ariel just smiled indifferently on the surface.

"Who knows about him? Maybe he doesn't like me. But it doesn't matter anymore. After all, I have found the man I truly love now."

"Is he the Viscount who eloped with you? How can he be as good as His Highness Harold? Ariel, you must not act out of emotion."

Lucy frowned when she heard this and said, obviously very dissatisfied with Bai Bai who "eloped" with the girl, well... or rather looked down upon. After all, in the eyes of her and even many outsiders.

In fact, Ariel just ran away with a viscount out of anger because of Harold breaking off the engagement. As for Bai, he can only be considered one of the lucky ones or the unlucky ones.

"I heard that he was still a wandering nobleman, living in embarrassment... You must have learned how to cook now after suffering a lot of hardships from him, right? Is such a man who can't even take care of his own woman worthy of you?"

Lucy's words that followed made Ariel's mouth twitch slightly. The girl understood that the other person said this for her own good, but it was too pale for her to refute.

After all, I have indeed suffered a lot along the way with Wanwan. Although most of them were to make myself stronger, it was also the girl's own choice.

Lucy somewhat looked down on Wanwan, but she understood why Wanwan was only a viscount and a wandering nobleman.

It was impossible for her to shout out and say that he was not only a viscount, but also a mythical strong man? But who would believe it? Besides, Bai Wan himself would not want her to explain, because with his character, he never cared about other people's opinions.

"You just don't understand him."

But her best friend, saying so about the person she likes, still makes Ariel's psychology somewhat complicated.

"It doesn't matter, this is my own choice. Besides, I followed him on this adventure and lived a pretty good life. I experienced a lot of things and now I'm really happy when I think about it."

It's a pity that her sincere words made Lucy look at her with pity. Perhaps in her eyes, Ariel is like an aristocratic lady in a novel who is carried away by love.

Let alone a good life and not enjoy a comfortable life, you have to run away and run away with a poor boy.

Ariel naturally knew the meaning in Lucy's eyes and had no intention of getting entangled in this topic.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. This fish is already grilled. Come and eat it, you snackers. Remember to be careful about scalding it."

With that said, the girl handed a larger fish that had been grilled until golden and attractive to the girl. Sure enough, this move successfully blocked Lucy's mouth, and she had no time to say anything else.

As soon as I took it, I couldn't wait to open my mouth and take a bite, and then let out a scream.

"Wow! Beitang is in trouble!!"
