­While still lost in his thoughts over what happened earlier, Daimon soon arrived at the room where the Duchess was resting, how did he know it, well, Daphne was waiting for him outside with a somewhat worried expression on her pretty face.

The first princess of the Mermen Sea, was despite her incapacity to speak, able to communicate quite easily, at least for those who knew her like Mellie, Chris and lately Daimon.

Her green eyes which had a blue shade, her face and other gestures where the way she communicated with others and right now Daimon could see her being worried about her mother, when she was happy not too long ago when they returned.

"Don't put that face, you saw that sudden surge of darkness mana right, that was miss Bell recovering enough to not die due to her curse anymore", said Daimon as he patted Daphne's shoulder a couple of times.

Daphne's eyes sparkled, though Daimon didn't directly say it, how could she not understand the meaning behind his works, "If she could recover, then why wouldn't your mother be the same", of course that also meant that he was willing to help.

She sweetly smiled at Daimon and then opened the door to drag him inside of her mother's room.

Daimon didn't mind Daphne's enthusiasm, he instead evaluated his surroundings, the room was filled with the smell of medicine, now, Daimon's senses are incredibly sharp, that includes his nose, so he could actually recognize some of the herbs used in the medicine that was used in this room.

Of course, he could smell other... things, like the natural fragrance of the Duchess who was sitting on the edge of her bed, drinking a potion which Chris handed her, or the Mermen princess who was standing quite close to him, but he ignored it, being thankful for all the years of "practice" which he lived through by being surrounded by Erin and the others, practically 24/7.

"So, the origin of the problem isn't physical, could you explain me what happened?", said Daimon to the Duchess who just finished drinking a potion.

"Mm, my body is fine, but I have been feeling mentally tired lately, could because I was worried about a couple of little girls, I should be fine now, but just in case I took a few Serene Breeze potions as well as some drops of the three-colored water you gave me", said the Duchess.

The potion she mentioned had the capacity to relieve the mind, mages tend to get stressed rather easily, so these kinds of potions are a must, of course there are other ways to avoid it, the classic alcohol, debauchery, money or violence are a daily sight in the world of magic, but naturally the Duchess has no inclination to such things, so it is normal to conclude that she has just been too busy with all that has been happening lately.

And Daimon would have reached the same conclusion, if it wasn't for the fact that he knew how effective should the three-colored water be to soothe the mind, the fact that the Duchess has drank it over the past days and she is still in a somewhat affected state, means that this isn't a simple headache caused by overworking.

On the other hand, he couldn't perceive anything bad from her, which again even not having information could be intel by itself, and there is something that has been bothering Daimon for quite some time.

"From the outside I don't see any problem, miss Annete asked me to take a look, but it ultimately depends on you, since I will have to use an eye spell and probably mana sense", he said.

The previous is the reason as to why, doctors and healers that tend to noble women are always females, most of the times a much deep check is needed, so it's impossible to not see or even touch in some cases.

Of course, if there is no option then there is no use to complain, and those who are dying don't have the right to be picky, but this situation is not like that, so the choice is up to the Duchess.

"No problem, Chris, Daphne, please leave the room for a moment", calmly said the Duchess, those two stared at each other for a couple of seconds before they left the room.

Once they left, the Duchess turned to see Daimon as she offered her hand to him, to check one's body contact of some kind was needed after all.

"Here you go", she said.

Daimon nodded and then grabbed her wrist as he extended his mana sense through her body, of course his mana sense wasn't strong enough to view everything, but the idea was to see if there was something related to either Nethereals or a system user affecting the Duchess.

"I have been wondering, since I saw that small scar on her neck, but was Daphne always incapable of talking?", asked Daimon as he inspected the body of the Duchess looking for any anomality.

"Oh, did that little girl show you that, I guess it should be expected given how close you two have gotten", mumbled the Duchess.

"She is fine, just a remaining side effect of an old "wound", it will disappear in a couple of days, I'll check on her then", he said.

"Thanks", said Chris, while Daphne smiled at Daimon, that was a thanks from her.

As Daimon walked back to his room, Rita who was comfortably swimming in Daimon's shadow, couldn't help but notice her young master being lost in his thoughts.

'Is there something bothering you, Daimon?', she asked, she tried to call him by his name as much as possible since it was part of the reward she requested, Daimon didn't mind so there was no problem at all.

'I have told you about the missions I get, right', said Daimon.

'Mm, they are quite often related to women', answered Rita which nearly made Daimon trip.

'Ahem, only the last one, but yes, I don't believe in coincidences, there is a high chance that among the friends I made in Neptune, they are mostly related to my missions, since "heroes" were involved', said Daimon.

'I see, well, as long as they remain at Daimon's side, I'm pretty sure they will be fine', mumbled Rita.

Daimon chuckled, Rita has become much more talkative lately, she is also more human-like and refined compared to Horals, not only in appearance but in personality as well.

'Oh well, there is point in trying to force it, the first "gem" requirement was met quite fast, but then the legacy took quite a while, we'll see how it goes at the global raid', thought Daimon.

Bell turned out to be part of the requirement for the legacy as far as he understood, whatever the case, those girls won't be leaving any time soon.

...

The rest of the morning went on pretty much uneventful, for Daimon at least, he took it as a rest, since everything will start at the royal ball later, so besides resting in his room and chatting with Aisha and the others nothing else happened.

And before anyone noticed, the sun had started to leave the sky, the citizens were out in the streets having their own celebrations and the flying ships started to arrive at the royal ports of the main continent managed by the White family.

Naturally, seeing the representatives from the pirates, Skelefiends and even magic beasts from the Mermen Sea that had taken a temporary human form, but were using full body armor, drew some animosity from the people, since they were all enemies of the Mermen Sea.

Conflicts would have normally been unavoidable, if not for the fact that there were members of the army, wearing the emblem of the Trident Marshal, watching over both sides, ready to act the moment anyone tried anything.

"Heh, it seems like the king of this place isn't exactly the one ruling, don't you agree old Claw?", asked a tall man with a long black beard, at a mummified figure, they were nothing less than Blackbeard and Horrorclaw themselves, who were inside the same carriage.

"I don't care, that woman still has my fiancée captive and that old man has been kicking my ass, demanding an explanation", said Horrorclaw, referring to Armando.

In what the world regarded, Shirel was still imprisoned somewhere by Annete, which is in part why Horrorclaw had stopped all kind of aggressions towards the Mermen Sea.

"Hahaha, well, if the Mermen king can ask for a diplomatic meeting with even the magic beasts from the Maelstrom Sea, I don't see why a new agreement can't be reached, as long as I receive enough benefits, peace doesn't sound bad", said the pirate as he leaned backwards on his seat, naturally as his eyes and mocking expression suggested, he wasn't being serious at all.

Leaving the enemies aside, Daimon who had finished preparing left his room and walked towards the living room, there everyone was gathered.

"Let's go, to where all the currents are converging", he said.

Vincent nodded and then he tapped the ground with his staff, creating a portal that dragged all the presents into it.
