Chapter 1091: Mermaid Princesses



"W-We are very sorry!" Aqua cried.

"I'm sorry..." Rose cried as well.

Both mermaid girls were bowing down and asking for forgiveness. I wouldn't blame them if they were scared, I showcased a lot of my power right there and I bet they were really scared after seeing that.

"Hah..."

I sighed, crossing my arms.

"It's fine, I guess... But did you had to lie to me?" I asked.

"Yeah, why did you lie about such an important thing?" Partner asked.

"W-We thought that Lady Naiad's family descendants were only a couple, a few dozen at most..." Emeraldine said.

"Although you were still on a crisis and all, it wasn't necessary to lie about it!" Lucifer said angrily.

We were like a quartet of parents reprimanding their children, Aqua and Rose, despite being the princesses, could only ask for forgiveness, leaving the rest of the mermen shocked.

"We thought that if we didn't lie about it, you would end up thinking we were being shameless..." Aqua sighed. "S-Sorry!"

"Yeah, our Kingdom is big and has great riches actually, its just that these monsters were so strong, we were unable to fight back," Rose said. "And well, after seeing how you were, err, we imagined it might've been smarter to tell you our place was small and pitiful, instead of being full of... well, a lot of people and riches."

"I kind of get the point of it but that's still a bit scummy," I said. "Oh well, you better make up for it by sharing some of those riches? Hm?"

"O-Of course..." Aqua nodded.

"We were definitely planning to pay, yes!" Rose said.

I don't know if I should trust their words anymore, they seemed like they wanted free help. But I guess it still good. They were indeed about to die, so they didn't lie with that. "Everyone, instead of thanking us, please thank these heroes we brought!" Aqua said. "Y-Yes, that's right!" Rose nodded. "We were unable to find the Divine Oasis Spirit, Naiad. We learned that she had been dead for many years. However, Lady Maria and her family decided to come to help after hearing our very sad story..."

Yeah, very sad, huh?

"Oooh! So they're people from the surface then?!"

"I never thought they would be so different! Weren't all people from the surface just elves?"

"You're totally wrong, they were all humans... Right?"

"What about dwarves? No?"

They were honest people, maybe too honest at times, it truly showed how they grew up isolated from the rest of the world, in their own little paradise.

Well, until that star fell from the sky.

"Thank you so much, dear! You're such a cutie pie!" a purple haired mermaid giggled, caressing Arthur's head.

"We owe you our lives! Thank you for restoring these big muscles! Bwahaha!" a very muscly black-haired merman laughed flexing his big arms.

"Such a miracle! Thank you, thank you!" a green haired merman said. "Please take these pills I've made; they can heal you of some sea-bound diseases!"

"Take this, it's a magic ring I never use, it's yours!"

"Here, please take this ancient trident I found wandering the ruins the other day."

"I don't have much to repay for the favor, I hope this Rainbow Pearl I found around is of some

use!"

They kept gifting us all kinds of treasures, which they seemed to use as mere decorations at most? They didn't seem to even realize the value of these items! It is indeed a very rich country, but I guess without connections to the surface, its not like their riches can be used in

anything.

In between their celebrations, and as we explored the streets that led to the castle, which was just as colorful and beautifully made out of many-colored corals and giant clams, we reached Aqua and Rose's true home.

"Wow, this castle's so big and beautiful, everywhere there are so many colors..." Nyx swam

around.

"Yeah! It's really cool!" Celes nodded.

"W-Welcome to my home..." Rose muttered.

"You sure live nicely, this place's beautiful and very fancy... Unlike what you told us about," I

nodded, looking around.

"We're sorry..." Aqua kept apologizing.

They led us to the throne room right after that, it was necessary for us to meet their parents so

we could have a better conversation about everything that has happened so far, and also get a

better picture.
