Chapter 536 What kind of legacy is this?

As Daimon was about to greet those two, someone got ahead of him as Mellie flashed to hug her older sister.

"I'm back sis!", the queen was surprised for a second to see Mellie being so affective with her in public, but she wouldn't be considered the smartest woman in the Mermen Sea if she didn't realize the reason behind of it.

Daimon also knew why, Mellie is normally mature for her age, due to the circumstances of her childhood, even when she was facing an imminent death due to the schemes of the pirates, she didn't lose her temper and was ready to die fighting, her graciousness was revered by those guys from the middle ranked noble families that were present that day.

Even Daimon couldn't help but respect that side of her, but it is also true that for a girl her age she has been shouldering more than what she should, which is something she showed Daimon later on.

Like that day when they found about that her father poisoned her mother under the instructions of the White's ancestor, or when they went and visited that underwater cave just to find the empty coffin where her mother was supposed to be resting.

The recent events had been a shock for all the girls regardless of whether they are related to it or not, Aurora's daughter returned from the "death", in a different way but still, it doesn't mean that all of them have a relative they wish would return like that, but it's more of a realization that what others think to be impossible, little sis this affective, I would have sent you out of the Mermen Sea some years ago~", playfully said the queen as she patted Mellie's sometimes it isn't.

Marlene who has regained her cheerful attitude is one of them, and so is Mellie, which is why they were in a pretty good mood.

"Heh, if I would have known that a few days away would make my little sis this affective, I would have sent you out of the Mermen Sea some years ago~", playfully said the queen as she patted Mellie's head a couple of times.

"S-Sis!", Mellie exclaimed, but she didn't let go of Annete, Daimon saw that Vincent also clearly had some questions for Aurora, so he took the initiative to leave those who needed privacy alone for a moment.

"Ahem, we have a lot of things to do, but a nice breakfast is a must, how about we install ourselves and continue later?", he said.

Annete softly laughed as she answered.

"Make yourselves at home, we'll wait at the dining room... Daphne, your mother is waiting for you at her room".

Having said that, the group separated, though most of the girls followed Daimon towards the room that the queen left prepared for when they returned, Aurora and the ones from the Light Palace stayed behind to talk with Vincent, while Daphne and Chris went to where the Duchess was staying, of course Annete kept Mellie company.

It didn't take much for Daimon and the others to accommodate themselves, since the room was previously prepared, maybe it was a joke from the queen, but this time there was only a single bed in their room, it was large enough to accommodate the whole group at the same time though.

While the girls unpacked their stuff, Daimon looked at his communication devices, there were a couple of messages which he had yet to read from the multiple fronts which his group is covering in Neptune, but nothing alarming so he left it to discuss it along with the queen and Vincent as a whole.

...

A few minutes later, once ethe girls were ready they all left the room to meet with the others at the dining room, it didn't miss Daimon's eyes that Daphne's mother looked rather exhausted, but she was happily sitting with her daughter, so it seemed to be just normal fatigue due to all the work she has had during the past week, she even turned to see Daimon and smiled as she nodded at him.

Daimon nodded back and then took his seat, the head maid as well as the captain of the guards that served Annete, brought the breakfast and then stood behind of their young miss.

"For starters, I suppose you have already received news from our two "friends", in the other seas, right?", asked Annete to Daimon as she elegantly cut a fruit.

"Yes, I must say that I didn't expect it from that idiot king, but on the other hand I doubt it is his idea to begin with", answered Daimon.

"Mm, inviting representatives from the four seas to discuss a new "treatment", those were the words that moron dared to say the moment the sun raised today", mumbled the queen.

Daimon received messages from Blacktooth and Armando, that Triten, in other words the king of the Mermen Sea, had invited representatives from both the Skelefiends and the natives of the Maelstrom Sea to attend the royal ball of today.

The curious thing, is that those who were specifically mentioned were Horrorclaw, Blackbeard as well as two of the rulers of the Maelstrom Sea, in other words, Thea and Armando weren't invited.

Of course, that put the Mermen Sea in a turmoil, as those guys were declared enemies, but Triten came out to calm down the masses by stating that the Mermen Sea wanted to avoid a way and with that in mind, the ancestor of the royal family himself will be coming out of seclusion to negotiate with the enemy leaders.

Not to mention that the Shaman as well as the Matriarch of the Light Palace will be joining to guarantee that a fight doesn't break out, and if someone tries to stir up trouble will be punished by all the others.

"Well, nothing really changed for us, our job is to contain and suppress those idiots whether they are being manipulated or not", said the Trident Marshal as he stole a gaze at Aurora who sighed to then add.

"Abaris is confirmed to be an enemy, though I don't know who he is working with... there was a rat hiding in my Light Palace for so many years, leaking my schedule to him".

The queen nodded in response.

"I have finished the preparations on my side, that assistant which Daimon provided has proven to be quite useful, and now all the low and around half of the middle-ranked nobles are under our strict orders tied by contracts", she said referring to Olivia who had returned earlier to help Annete to blackmail and control the nobles involved with Black Wave, from the shadows.

"The army is also ready, that brat Dominic and the neo noble factions are on our side too, they had their reserved but Triten's latest declaration pushed them all to our side, the troops are stationed according to what we discussed earlier", added Vincent.

Daimon nodded to then say.

"Thea hadn't contacted anyone since she entered the legacy of her ancestor, but her army is ready since her representative is cooperating with us, the same applies to Armando and the White Walker race".

"Speaking of which, one of the two idiots that came from my native place has been dealt with, but there is another one, and since the pirates are coming, there is a high chance he finally reveals himself, not to mention the scheming guy will most likely act during the royal ball too".

Vincent sighed as he massaged his temples.

"So, we'll basically be surrounded by enemies... forget it, you take care of the global raid and leave Neptune's battlefield to us", he said.

Daimon smiled before he took out all the incomplete emblems he has gathered so far, to start distributing them.

"Be gentle with mom~", she said.

Daimon inwardly sighed, regardless of the method he'll have to see anyway, even if it was solved in the less efficient way which involved him using Demon Light, which unlike with Sarah, might end up hurting Bell, he'll have to see either with his eyes or with his mana sense, just like he did with Sarah.

"Mocking your mother, it seems you need a nice beating to return to the correct path...", mumbled Bell, but she still nodded at Daimon as she accommodated herself to be comfortable.

Daimon poured the poison on her back and the curse marks immediately reacted by shining in a dark purple light, which tried to attack Daimon, which actually triggered his lazy ass magic core.

"Now that's a rare sight, are you finally doing something?", said Daimon as he saw the energy radiated by the curse marks, be dragged into his magic core to be devoured, until there was nothing left of it.

"Woah, that sure does accelerate things, as expected of my fated one", said the crazy girl, as she saw the curse marks losing their dark purple color, and then fading away, turning into dark mist.

Sarah then took out a pile of high-grade dark mana crystals, which she extorted out of the church of Kerrol and Antonio, for this exact purpose, and then gave Daimon puppy eyes.

"That's not needed, I obtained this for you two according to our deal you know?", said Daimon as he took out a big piece of the crystalized nether from his inventory, just to see the crazy girl softly smile at him.

"I wouldn't mind having to give you "something" in exchange for it~", she said as she licked her lips.

"Hey, I'm still alive so control yourself for a bit", said Bell, to then gaze at Daimon who bitterly smiled as he placed a few crystals on top of her back as well the crystalized nether, to then release some of his darkness mana.

"Uhhh", a comfortable sound couldn't help but escape from Bell's mouth, the floating dark mist was attracted to the mana crystals as well as the crystalized nether and Daimon's mana, making all the ingredients mix and then melt on Bell's back, before they were absorbed into her body.

"...", silence reigned for a second, but Daimon didn't worry, the next moment he saw large quantities of darkness mana gathering from all over the place, so he took a step backwards and the crazy girl did the same, she leaned against Daimon's shoulder as she watched with an excited expression, her mother recovering enough to not be considering a dead person walking.

The sudden spike of darkness mana got the attention of all the people on the mansion, but when they noticed the origin of it, instead of worrying they celebrated, Sylvie especially as she rushed through the corridor towards Bell's room.

The phenomenon didn't last too long, before everything returned to normal, the result was a Bell who was now sitting on her bed, her upper body which was naked, was now covered by a pitch black mist, and her pupils which are normally dark purple where now of black too.

Not to mention she was a middle stage Stellar now, and her vitality had replenished almost fully, the curse wasn't lifted unlike Sarah, but her life wasn't in danger anymore.

"Thanks...", just as Bell turned to see Daimon to thank him, the door of her room opened and Sylvie entered, just to see Bell whose upper body was naked and then see Daimon and Sarah who were standing near her bed.

"S-Sorry, you are busy sister, we'll talk later!", Sylvie immediately flashed out of the room, leaving behind a Bell who was speechless, she didn't know how to use nether so of course when she lost her concentration, it was dispelled, so you can imagine the rest.

Sarah who saw Daimon's right index finger covered in poison, laughed and then catching Daimon with his guard off, she licked it and even put it in her mouth.

Daimon turned to see the crazy girl, but he surprisingly didn't stop it, against all his wishes he left her until she fully cleaned the poison, just to see her smiling.

"Delicious~".

Daimon cleared his throat to then say.

"Ahem, now that you have your own nether, you can wear out the curse on your own, I'll assist you when the time to lift it comes, I'll take my leave since I still have to pay a visit to the Duchess".

Having said that, Daimon left the room, Bell remained froze for a few more seconds, before she gazed at her daughter who was looking at her with a happy smiling expression.

"You planned all this right, you little girl... did you know the requirements to break my curse", she mumbled.

"Well, it was just a hunch, having him "involved" worked for me, so I guessed it should be the same to you, if it was the me before Kerrol, I would have asked for more than just imagining, but now... I think it is more exciting this way~", said the crazy girl as she handed her mother something to cover herself.

"Don't cause him troubles at the global raid, we owe him more than we could ever repay him at this point", said Bell as she left her body fall backwards on the bed.

Sarah laid down on the bed next to her mother and then turned to see her as she giggled.

"I know of a way though~", she said before she whispered some words at her mother, who limited to bitterly laugh.

Daimon who was walking through the corridor towards Daphne's room, where the Duchess was resting, looked at the notification that popped a second ago and he sighed.

[Ding]

[The mission "Stealing from the hero (Clear Water Kingdom) has been updated]

[Steal the legacy left to help the Hero of Light (0/1) à (1/1)]

'Obtaining the core of the fortress didn't complete the damn requirement, but letting that crazy girl drink the poison of my claws and curing Bell did... or could it have been because I saw and touched her, what the hell kind of legacy is this!', he thought.

His instincts told him to add some of his own poison to the solution applied on Bell's back, so he secretly did, he never imagined that the crazy girl would do that, and he wasn't going to let her, but then he saw the notification being triggered and he actually got lost in the moment.

'Hahaha, well, every part of the mission has its own "requirements", you gained the trust of the queen and princess, when they gave you that pendant right, it seems like you gained something from that pair as well~', jokingly said Evangeline.

Ultimately Daimon shook his head, he knew there was more behind of the requirements from the mission than what met the eye, for Adam just "obtaining" would have been enough for him to complete the mission, but he wasn't walking in the same path as him, for him fulfilling the requirements had a much deeper meaning.

Curiously even if he didn't understand it at the moment, if it was marked as fulfilled, it's because he had achieved something significant.
