She tried to question alliance girls again, but suddenly she heard the familiar voice of a girl.
"Queen Levi, where did you go?" The voice kept shouting annoying the unknown woman, who frowned and quickly looked in the direction where the sound came from.
*Tsk
"These annoying bitches keep following me everywhere, I have no freedom at all,"
Lydia and Eva kept looking at what was going to happen since they knew, all of their escape routes are closed with this ridiculously strong woman.
"Why are you bothering me? Can't you leave me alone for a single minute?" Noticing the girl that came out of the forest, the unknown woman questioned.
"My queeeeen!" As soon as the girl noticed the figure of the woman, who was wearing a big blue colour dress that greatly emphasized her curves, she ran and quickly kneeled in front of her.
"We were so scared, We are sorry for not being able to catch up with you quickly,"
"I'm not you queen, get away from me, and mind your own business," Seeing the other party almost licking her feet, the woman in the blue dress quickly jumped while looking at the girl beneath her with disdain.
"I know queen, we are not worthy to be your subordinates, but you're our queen even if you don't recognize us,"
The unknown woman appreciated her subordinate's dedication, but she also found their behaviour annoying and suffocating. She felt like she had no personal space and that the subordinate was always in her face. She decided to confront the subordinate and address the issue.
"I appreciate your loyalty and your dedication in serving me, but your behaviour is becoming too much. I need some space and time to think and work on my own. I don't want you to follow me around all the time,"
Hoping to get rid of this unwanted trouble, the woman said but she knew these girls won't stop annoying her.
"My queen, please don't ask me to stop serving you. My loyalty to you is my greatest strength, I will do anything to make you happy, look I brought our whole army,"
The girl who was kneeling said and pointed at the forest and after a few seconds, Lydia and her squad witnessed the most absurd thing.
Another army of naked women started to charge in their direction and most of them had trident-like weapons showing, they are not a primitive tribe, which gave birth to many more questions.
'Who's this army?'
Eva questioned herself seeing them but she noticed the long ears which had a bizarre look with scales-like structures.
"Why the hell would you bring an army?" One after another, the woman in blue got pissed off but she ignored all of them and turned in Lydia's direction.
"I'm done with this, give him or I will take him now, don't piss me off anymore," Holding her head annoyed, she said while her eyes kept glancing at Nikol's figure, who was sleeping or probably passed out on Lydia's shoulder.
"Ugh! we can't give him like that, he's precious to us, may I ask who you are?" Eva quickly interfered and tried to take some information so, they wouldn't stay blind about this situation.
"Precious? How exactly?" In a questioning tone, she asked as she was surprised by this development.
"He is our lover," Zenda answered her quickly without keeping her wait, she wanted to prove that they are not simply trying to kidnap him as she understood there was something with this woman that clearly felt familiar.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!" Everyone heard the longest sound they heard from someone, as she kept getting closer with every step and looked at everyone's face.
She touched everyone without leaving a single place on their face unexplored, and carefully observed everyone.
"Doesn't matter, give him or I will kill all of you," They expected at least they would be able to wait until Nikol get his consciousness back, but the woman took distance from them and muttered in a sweet voice with a smile.
"And I forgot to answer you, my name is Leviathan, you may call me Levi if you want,"
[A/N:- It's pronounced as La-vie, not Le-vai]
"Didn't you hear our queen? Just hand over it already," The girl who was kneeling tried to talk but with one look from the Leviathan, she went silent and looked down in obedience.
"We can't do that, even if you kill us, we won't give him," Lydia and Zenda both agreed and gave her an answer.
They knew even if they were in the top condition to fight with this lady in front of them, they would lose, but handing over Nikol without even struggling was out of the question for them. They didn't want to betray him again even if it costs their lives.
"Whatever then I'll just kill all of you," Leviathan was not one to be trifled with. She was cunning and ruthless, and her powers were unmatched. She attacked the girls head-on, using a power that was unmatched to create massive waves of water that threatened to engulf them all.
She had no intention to kill them because she was really stunned by their words about them being Nikol's lovers. She wanted to confirm things before killing.
Despite their best efforts, the girls were no match for Leviathan. They fought bravely, using their own powers to try and fend her off, but she was too strong. One by one, they fell before her, until only Nikol remained on the floor with his whole body drowned in a torrent of water.
Leviathan laughed triumphantly as she closed in on Nikol.
"You are mine now," she said, her eyes glowing with some kind of a strange emotion which looked like obsession or was it love?
Lydia stood alone, her heart heavy with the weight of responsibility. She had always known that she wasn't the most powerful in the group but now, she had no idea how to at least get up because of how slippery the floor felt. She had never expected an attack like this, one that had left Zenda and Eva completely useless.
"Girls, don't search for him, it's better if you can keep your distance from him, I'll let you live this time because you protected him, but there won't be a second time," She quickly carried him like a princess and started walking in the opposite direction to her queendom bringing despair to all the girls, who witnessed this scene.
"Esi, take your army back, we are done here, I told you to stay in the palace because of this," Leviathan said while looking at the kneeling girl.
She didn't even wait for Esi to answer her, as she suddenly started to levitate and, she ascended into the beautiful blue sky, soaring towards the hallowed queendom with a sense of purpose that stirred her very soul while looking at the face of the man, she was searching for everywhere in this world.
Esi looked at the mess in front of her as soon as started flying and she saw the water that Leviathan spawned with her power. Without, waiting anymore she quickly jumped into it and started to swim around the mud like she went crazy until she noticed her body features changing.
"Ah! I went back to my mermaid form because of this water," She couldn't even stand because she had no legs but, soon her helpers came and dried her tail and turned them back to normal legs.
"It is such a waste to leave all this precious water here, but we have no choice,"
Giving a final glance at the holy water that Leviathan spawned, she ordered her army to march back to the river, where they came from, leaving a mess of mud and the dead bodies of the dark elves on the floor.
Luckily, no humans or elves died from the wave of water because it wasn't something that could possibly kill someone but some of them lost their consciousness because of the pressure.
Lydia, who heard this while Esi conversing with her army got up from her position and looked around her with sadness showing she was the only one who was conscious right now, thanks to Eva covering her sister without letting her face the waves head-on.
"Mermaids? So they were real, I've only heard stories about them," Lydia tried to remember every single thing she heard from their conservation and tried to remember them.
"Get up sister," Going from person to person she started pressing their chest in a very uniform motion until they pucked all the water inside their lungs.
After a few minutes, she managed to wake up all of them but none of them looked great, as almost all of them had pale faces.
*Cough
"Where's Nikol?" Eva questioned while coughing some more water and looking at her sister for an answer.
"They took him, I don't know how but she flew after attacking us," Lydia said with her face showing distress.
"Damn it, why does everyone attack us and try to kidnap him? Will it hurt for them to leave us alone," It was something really unexpected to come out of this battle maniac's mouth, but she understood how valuable peaceful days are when they can't even eat properly with Nikol.
"Who are those people anyway? they suddenly attacked us,"
Hearing Eva's question, Lydia quickly got close to her ear and whispered,
"They are mermaids,"
