Chapter 161: The Mother of Crowns 4

The Guards refer to all of the pod as a single person essential they are an extension of SKY Ocean Hunter as they swim with his colours. Chief Guard and SKY Ocean Hunters' uncle signs, "Crown if you would come this way, Majesty is in need of your presence." His uncle has always been formal towards him never moving past casual acquaintances. It could be that he wants to see his spawn become King but that doesn't excuse him for being so cold. His sisters' mother doesn't do that at all. She is almost predatory with her affection lucky for him she is deep in the Trenches fighting a Crustatian invasion.

They make it all the way to the Sunken Palace, the girls all go blue in reverence to the building made out of Absurdium a type of God tier material that allows the Palace to change forms. At the moment the Sunken Palace looks like a massive upside-down Squid whose tentacles are shaped like Fargo Worm snail shell. Thou the Squid part is hidden underground.

Then they appear the Drowned House of Isekal, they also have a crown prince in the running to be the next king. She and SKY Ocean Hunter are familiar with one another. Flashes of hateful violet, blowing of bubbles postering as they swim passed on another. They would normally fight but something is clearly going on as No Isekal would normally be allowed beyond the Shelk palace in normal times.

SKY Ocean Hunter swims close to his uncle signing, "Uncle what is going on?" His uncle colours are hard to read as always the man hardly ever fluctuates at all even when he is drunk he is a steady calming Typhoon teal.

His uncle says, "Crown it is majesties place to inform you." He looks troubled but that could also be the mans' constipated face SKY Ocean Hunter just doesn't know him well enough. He swims back to his pod messaging all of them. They are still trying to figure out how he became heir to the most famous Royal house even if they have fallen out of favour getting in is an achievement all on its own. Afterwards, they make their inside the Sunken Palace is hard to touch odd as it is clearly moving following the flow of the ocean.

Calypso is by his side watching him, the way he touches the Sunken Palace making it react to him. It almost sounds like a whale song but somehow softer yet much bigger in scale. Calypso had thought she had closed the gap between her and SKY Ocean Hunter. When she became a river lord of a Minor stream. It never occurred to her that SKY Ocean Hunter is on a completely different level in basic terms her nobility is only recognized in the river and some lakes and of course the sea and she is like in between a knight and a baron. SKY Ocean Hunter is basically a prince period no and if or butts. Even if he one day ascends to a sky palace they would recognise his status. Of course, some places like Asrugo wouldn't at all because he is a nonhuman. 

They descend as a pod each of them following SKY Ocean Hunter, ever naga they pass bows. Clearly, SKY Ocean hunter is respected some even flashing colours of love and admiration. The Imperial Chamber is their portion beyond the Chamber only the royal family and their attendants are allowed. Seated on a bed of Coral is a Siren. She is at least thirty feet long every inch of her decked out in Coral jewellery with calcite embellishment and aragonite nested directly into her scales. Her clothing is a thin pearl more concreted to hide her diginites. Her dorcel fins are armorued in flashes Serpentine Crystal. She shines her radiance bounces off the various jewels on her body. They both amplify and obfuscate her mood.

SKY Ocean Hunter in front of the imperial set coils his body around himself and flattens his body in submission. The girls all follow his lead Calypso on his right, Smittenkitten69 or her left with Magmaheart and X2CU directly behind her. Behind them is BABAYMAKERXCREAM and McQueen. Majesty eyes them each finding nothing in particular to her liking though she doesn't show it after all her purpose is not to ostracize her favourite child.

Majesty signs but also a magical effect similar to her siren's call fills the room. This lovely melody is actually a song meant to block spies. Anybody except them will experience an illusion. " Hunter you could not have come at a better time. I am in desperate need of your heroics. Our old enemies the Isekal like the low shit-eating snails they are. Are plotting against our house, our losses have left us Vurenable instead of enjoying the last years of my life in peace in the Lantian Fields. I must toil! But I do this gladly for you son. Sit up stop grovelling and come give me a real greeting." 

SKY Ocean Hunter swims towards majesty passing through several layers of wards effortlessly. He sits in her tail enjoying the warmth of family. It's a little embarrassing for him to be coddled but she is majesty her words are tide. SKY Ocean Hunter signs, "How can I help I know I have been away longer than I said but look what I found." He hands her something that has been sitting in his inventory since the before they visited the Moon Goddess. A small shell that shaped like a medallion with four moons.

Majesty grins her teeth are like those of a penguin long rows of sharp barbs on the top of her mouth. "I fucking told that stubborn uncle of yours. This helps so much Saladar, I knew you wouldn't bloody well let me down. Not you Slith, ask for anything if I can give it, it is yours. I promise crown and realm." SKY Ocean Hunter glows green and with hints of pink she always does but it's nice and he wouldn't mind at all but his pod is basically swooning right now. He can only imagine what they are thinking about him.

SKY Ocean Hunter signs, a nervous blue, "I want the Typhoon, Saladar." Majesty is pristine in her control SKY Ocean Hunter only knows she is old. When he asked the butler Sant he explained that her brood is four generations before his. The rest of his family has been devastated by the machinations of the Isekal amongst others. Their blood feud has destroyed his 'parents' Brood completely leaving a void in leadership that Sunken Ocean still hasn't recovered from the remaining four of his brood are guarded jealously for the most part. She bites her nail it is painted with a relic. One of the guards leaves the room in haste. 

[Typhoon's key has been bonded to you]

Majesty signs, "You will have to find it on your own Sulie. This is all I can do for you." What?! SKY Ocean Hunter is looking at the distressed guard it is clear something is going on. He just hopes she didn't go too far. SKY Ocean Hunter thanks her before returning to his pod. When the first minister bursts in watching the fiasco. The song stops and Majesty is up towering over them spewing rapids at SKY Ocean Hunter and his Pod. The girls even slither back in fear at her sudden change in demeanour.

The tide of her voice props up her signing which is also accompanied by deep grumbles, to everyone else she is boiling to SKY Ocean Hunter her illusion has gone too far again. Majesty has a wicked sense of humour last time. She threatened him with marriage but had her illusion have him are so for the most part the entire house believes he is to be engaged to an Isekal. This is also why the First Minister is here now, Majesty made an illusion demanding that he should go declare is his undying loyalty to the Isekal. He in response has promised to destroy the block between Ordenia and Barren. 

The Blockade is a rank one dungeon defended by a level forty-five boss, this generation has been tasked with killing and opening the blockade between the two regions the Barren Sea. SKY Ocean Hunter sighs as he listens to Majesty. If they can pull this off it would be a political and economic coup. However, they still have to deal with the festival and while he hasn't seen her yet he has definitely tasted the scent of his cousin in the water. She might try to kill him again. Even against the advice of her father, he prefers to use the ancient form of determining who is worthy to rule. His supporters are probably afraid that the Isekals will ruin if they come to power. 

The echo of water pulsing unnaturally as a figure larger than SKY Ocean Hunter stalks away...
