Chapter 1082: The Queen Is Cunning



It was the next morning when, while having breakfast, I explained to everyone what I just saw last night. They were rather surprised that there Mermen alive but were willing to come with me for the whole undersea exploration. Although there was one little problem though.

"Um, how do we go underwater without, you know, drowning?" Partner asked. "I need to breathe now, after evolving so much... I am fairly sure Emeraldine too, and maybe Lucifer? Nyx definitely, and Jonathna, and everyone else except... Catarina and the deadest of Undead."

"Oh right, I hadn't thought about that..." I muttered. "But don't worry, I think I can make up a spell for that! Something using my control over the water element and other things. Some sort of bubble that generates a steady amount of oxygen, and releases carbon dioxide should be possible, I believe?"

Hey System, is it possible?

[Yes, nothing too hard to do... You didn't really need to ask me, are you that insecure? Haha!]

Shut up!

"I could actually create an accessory with the effect instead, now that I think about it, I just need to rearrange the runes into the spell I want using my new Abilities as a Goddess of the Sea, and it should work." I said, rubbing my chin.

"Good idea!" Emeraldine nodded. "Do you need any help?"

"Yeah! I want to help too!" Nyx said.

"Haha, okay, if you want to help, then let's work together." I nodded. "Maybe I'll need a bit of Takeshi's help as well, his affinity with the element and his mastery over it is really good."

"Sure! I'll try to help as much as I can then." Takeshi nodded.

"So what do we do in the meantime, auntie?" Laura wondered.

Ah, now they call me auntie, I remember they used to call me mama. I guess they've grown old enough to find that cringy or embarrassing...

It's not like I'll play around to her whims, she doesn't have any power over me, but I can tell

she's trying really hard to make me feel indebted, when it's the total opposite.

She's good at manipulation, I have to admit it. However, I am not someone that can be manipulated, unfortunately for her.

"Yes, a compensation. Perhaps... Maybe something, a little thing." Eshne smiled, licking her lips. "Like... perhaps... Something that my husband doesn't need to know about?"

"Eshne..."

Hah, I knew she wanted an affair with me. I honestly can't really guess what's inside her head. But maybe she wants some of the benefits of becoming my lover, even when she has a husband.

"How about I just don't listen to whatever nonsense you're talking about? I can do whatever I want." I smiled. "I'll take my Nia and her son, and I won't compensate you for that either- You're lucky you're very beautiful, but even with your beauty, my patience has limits, Eshne. Don't try to manipulate me again."

"E-Eh? I wasn't trying to do any of that...!" Eshne panicked a bit. "I-I'm sorry, Lady Maria! Please forgive my rudeness!"

She quickly stood up and ran to my side, kneeling and prostrating in front of me, asking for

forgiveness.

She's so dramatic.

"Whatever Eshne, I'll go pick them up. How about you have fun with your husband instead of asking someone else to have sex with you?" I sighed, quickly disappearing once I located Nia

and Celes location.

"S-So harsh..." she sighed, with crocodile tears.
