Having obtained the Ileum, the footless bird continued flying and arrived at a group of islands, where there was a bustling kingdom on the cliff,
with splendid castles and angels living in peace and prosperity.
On the distant cliff beach, sirens were singing the Song of the Siren, guiding the passing ships.
The footless bird landed on the castle's windowsill, looking at the Angel King ruling this country, and a Sea Siren.
They were a pair of lovers.
The Angel Leader had six arms as white as jade and wore a golden branch crown.
Yet, this Angel King was also in a state of delirium and confusion.
The Pearl Siren looked at the confused king with loving eyes and said:
"This Angel King is called Vilu, possessing six arms, immensely powerful, his trial is for you to identify the one flawless arm among them."
His tribe is responsible for the arms.
The Pearl Siren held a pearl in her hand, saying:
"My name is Lisa, and our Pearl Crystal Ball has the strongest vision, able to view the distant scenery."
"Here are three thousand pearls, my trial is for you to choose a pair of the most similar ones as eyes."
Her tribe is responsible for the eyeballs.
The footless bird knew this trial was extremely difficult, but she had no reason to back down.
However, Lisa spoke:
"Even though you are harsh on us, I won't test you, we both admire your love greatly."
"So we abandon the trials, we only ask you to listen to our story."
Nearby, the dazed Angel King Vilu instinctively played the accordion, looking lovingly at the beach.
The footless bird began to listen to their story.
Their love began with their meeting.
After the Water and Fire Disaster, over a hundred years, this land underwent various changes, gradually, true men and women appeared with the trends.
The palace of the Vilu Kingdom was located on a cliff, with a prince playing the accordion by the sea every day, his hands were clean, slender, and very beautiful.
Below the cliff, a Sea Siren Princess listened to the accordion in the sea daily, gradually developing a fondness for the prince above.
Thus she also began singing.
They were very in sync, gradually developing ambiguity and fondness, naive and beautiful.
But both were shy, not daring to meet.
The Sea Siren Princess invented the Crystal Ball to see the hands playing music more clearly from afar, white and beautiful.
The Angel Prince felt the other watching him, blushing shyly, he played harder, even researching more hands to play music.
They expressed their affection in childish and simple ways.
However, a twist came.
The Angel Prince, due to endless research on hands and better accordion music, during the next cocoon weaving emerged with physical problems, left brain damage, began falling into dementia.
On that day, the despairing Vilu sat dazed on the cliff all day.
The next day, he contacted the Second Prince Lushena, secretly infatuated with the Sea Siren Princess, wanting him to replace himself.
Because he had never shown his face, he could allow someone else to love her on behalf of him.
Although the Second Prince liked the Sea Siren Princess, he didn't want to break them apart, wanting to help the couple but didn't know how.
He had to follow instructions gradually, replacing him, taking over his accordion skills, and weaving hands like his.
Finally, the Second Prince and the Princess met for the first time, the elder Prince hiding in the dark was confused and heartbroken.
"I want to ensure her happiness for the rest of her life before thoroughly falling into dementia."
With time passing, with his endless help, the Second Prince and Princess held a grand wedding.
However, the Second Prince had reservations, it was always a nominal marriage, he knew he wasn't the one she deeply loved.
The Sea Siren Princess noticed the other not sharing a room, feeling insecure that the other didn't love her.
Until that day, the melancholy queen saw the elder Prince by the sea, who was in dementia, instinctively doing the most profound thing in his life: playing by the sea.
Just by hearing, she knew the truth.
At that moment, the maid ran to find him: "Your Highness, why did you come here again."
"Can you tell me what happened?"
The maid felt sorry for this elder Prince, telling all the truth, after learning everything, Lisa cried uncontrollably.
After finishing the entire story, Lisa looked at the angel beside her and said: "I hate him."
Vilu was almost entirely demented, rarely waking.
He was still facing the sea breeze, playing music confusedly, looking toward the ocean, his face full of indulgence and affection.
Although the other looked below the cliff, Lisa knew he was looking at her, showing a slight smile, said to the footless bird:
"Back then, separated by a cliff, I was underwater, and he was above."
"Now, we are separated by a mind, I'm on this side, he's on that side."
"We're still so reserved."
"We both have a demented lover, I understand you, so I choose to help you, I can't cure his dementia, but I hope your story will be complete."
The footless bird sighed: "You hate him?"
"Of course I hate him!"
"He deceived me, I want to curse him, I want to give him the most vicious curse!"
"Even if we become part of the body, we must separate."
As sirens, they were very keen on curses: "I especially want to curse him, even if becoming part of the body, to let him ever desire to touch me, but never dare to."
There was no trial.
They chose to die for love.
Sea Siren Princess and Angel Prince became part of the Saint's Organ.
The Sea Siren Princess only left a farewell letter for the little angels and little sirens who loved to listen to her music:
Sorry, I am going to pursue my beauty, no longer able to play for you, guide the direction of sails.
After dying for love, temporarily replaced a pair of hands and eyes, the footless bird was silent for a moment.
For some reason, she suddenly wanted to cry.
For some reason, she instinctively wanted to use a hand to touch her eyes but dared not.
Wanted to touch, yet dared not touch.
Like two people shy in life not daring to meet, still so shy after death.
Wanting to wipe.
Because the hands with dementia still retained that instinct, wanting to care for the lover, even forgetting everything, still wanted to protect the singing princess.
Wanting to cry.
Because the Sea Siren Princess wanted to punish those hands, wanting to see them helplessly worry about her yet dare not touch her? Or did she deep down desire the touch of hands?
"I can't tell."
The footless bird rubbed her eyes with hands.
Painful, yet comfortable.
She adapted to the hands and eyes, then let Vedamo use the raft to take the two treasures back to the Azure Rope Milk Sea.
She then set off on her journey again.
"Your story, I've witnessed."
