In just one week, with Claire's unscrupulous tactics, almost everyone in the kingdom knew that the mermaid in the story appeared in Griffin Barony's Nafu City.
Especially those who know Iodized Salt felt familiar for no reason when they heard the two words Nafu City. Then they discovered that Nafu City was the city where Iodized Salt was produced, so they became even more curious about this place.
Especially in some big cities, Claire puts more thought into it, and even actively planned several activities about mermaids to make those people want to take the initiative to go to Nafu City to see mermaids up close. There is no way, there are many rich people in big cities, so you always have to put more thought into it.
Needless to say in the royal capital, the story of the mermaid in Wendy begins here. People here are very interested in mermaids. Some people have even begun to prepare to leave for Nafu City after getting the news. But the first thing is to buy a map, because Griffin Barony is really a bit remote.
If it weren't for the mermaid, they would never have any contact with the three words Nafu City in their lives.
An afternoon tea in the palace.
"Sister Sophia, have you ever heard the story of the mermaid?" Irene asked, blinking.
Sophia put down the black tea in his hand and looked over in surprise, "Of course I have heard of it, Irene, has the little cutie heard of it too?"
Irene shook his head, "You also know that it is rare for me to have the opportunity to leave the palace. I just heard other people's wives talk about it, and it seems that the story is very touching."
"Irene, do you want to listen, little cutie? That Miss Wendy is my Dayas Opera House. I can let her perform for you in person."
Irene was a little surprised, "Really?"
"Of course, but she is not in the capital now. She seems to be on tour outside. But if Irene wants to see it, I can call her back in a few days."
"Sorry to trouble you!" Irene thanked him sweetly.
Sophia pinched Irene's face lovingly, "Why are you so polite to me? Whatever Irene wants, sister can get it for you."
Irene held up the pink Heart-shaped Crystals in his hand and continued, "I heard that the story of the mermaid did not have a happy ending. The mermaid did not wait until her real name was the emperor..." As he said, Irene looked at the Heart-shaped Crystals on his neck and said to himself, "I don't know if I will be like her..."
"Irene is only sixteen and you want to get married already?" Sophia joked.
Irene's face turned red after hearing this, and he waved his hands quickly, "That's not true, sister Sophia, don't make fun of me!"
Then he changed the subject. "I heard from my maid that there seems to be traces of mermaids in a territory to the south. Is this true?"
Sophia raised an eyebrow. She had always paid attention to this matter, but she didn't expect that Claire could do it so smoothly without making people feel abrupt or suspicious at all. If she didn't know the inside story, she would probably be deceived.
"There is such a thing. Someone in Griffin Barony discovered the mermaid waiting on the shore." Sophia had no intention of telling Irene the inside story, so let the child remain innocent.
"Where is Viscount Griffin?" Irene tilted his head curiously.
Sophia stretched out his slender index finger and twirled it in the air, then pointed at the Heart-shaped Crystals worn around Irene's neck and said, "Here?"
"This?" Irene didn't understand.
"Yes, Griffin Barony is the territory of the viscount who gave you this gift last time."
The memory of Irene returned to the birthday party a few weeks ago. She was very impressed by Claire. Whether it was the gift given to her, the story told, or the outstanding temperament and appearance, they were all impressive.
"Is it him?"
"Yes." Sophia pretended to be mysterious. "Irene, little cutie, I'm telling you secretly, you must not tell him, that Viscount Griffin is not a good person." Sophia was defeated by Wendy and Sirian twice in succession, and it was all because of Claire, which made her want to take revenge on the other party.
"Really?" Irene looked confused, "I don't think he is a bad person?"
"How can a bad person have the words "bad guy" written on their face?
Irene nodded, not sure if he believed Sophia's lies.
"By the way, sister Sophia, do you know where that Griffin Barony is?"
"Towards the southernmost point of King? What's wrong?"
"I want to see the mermaid." Irene replied.
Sophia's eyes widened slightly, and she was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Claire would publicize it everywhere and actually catch Little Princess Irene.
"Is there any problem?" Irene waved his hand in front of the stunned Sophia.
Sophia then came back to his senses and responded, "It's okay, but King will your Majesty let you go?"
"It's okay." Irene smiled, "I'm sixteen years old now, and my father loves me the most, so he will definitely let me go. If he doesn't let me go, I will cry and annoy him to death!"
Sophia looked at such an innocent and kind-hearted Irene and showed a knowing smile, but the face of Claire suddenly appeared in his mind. This brat seemed to be sixteen years old as well. Why are they both sixteen years old? There is such a big gap! Irene is so innocent, but you are so scheming.
"Master, what's wrong?" Regan asked with concern. Ever since his young master picked up the urgent envelope, his expression had froze.
"Did something go wrong?"
Claire gently put down the envelope in his hand, took a long breath, and replied, "It's not a bad thing, it's a great good thing!"
"What good thing?"
"Princess Irene is coming to our Nafu City." Claire tapped the letter on the table with his fingers. It was sent by Sophia at high speed.
"What!" Regan cried out in surprise. He had spent most of his life in the capital, but even then he had never seen Irene Your Highness. Now the other party is actually coming to Nafu City!
Claire stood up and said in a serious tone, "We have to start preparing for it. This is a very important thing and we cannot mess it up."
If this matter is handled well, then Nafu City's reputation will increase even more with the blessing of the title Princess Irene, but if it is not handled well, the impact will not be easily undone.
"Water Cloud Beast has to work hard these days. He has to sprinkle water every day. Also, the garbage on the streets must be cleaned up. If someone throws garbage, he will be fined directly!"
"By the way, let Hant and the others step up their patrols. If anything goes wrong while Princess Irene is here, then I'll be the only ones to ask questions!"
"And..."
Claire ordered one by one, Princess Irene coming to Nafu City is an excellent opportunity, and he must seize it. If it goes well, Nafu City can directly reduce the publicity time by several years.
That's right, Claire plans to use Irene as a billboard for Nafu City. A city where the most beloved royal family, Little Princess, has traveled thousands of miles. This will definitely attract many people who follow the trend to come to Nafu City. This gimmick can be used for at least several decades!
