Chapter 287: Aqua And Her Mom’s Situation…

......

"So?"

The voice of queen leaked out once more as she waited patiently for the man beneath her throne to respond.

However, he knew such patience wouldn't last forever.

So, with a shaky voice, he said, "M-My Queen, I have not informed a single other soul of this 'sensitive topic'. I came directly to you after leaving Riverbloom!"

His words came out in a panicked flurry, but the Queen could tell that he was telling the truth, so she paid no mind to his frantic demeanor.

"That is good," she began with a majestic voice.

"You shall keep such a secret till the day you die, understood?" She added with a hint of killing intent in her tone.

Thud!

The cloaked figure kneeled even deeper into the ground as he looked up at his Queen before responding, "Yes, My Queen! I shall keep my lips shut till the day I die!"

"Very well. You may leave now; I must talk to my confidants alone."

"Yes, My Queen!"

FWIP!

His figure immediately disappeared as he hurriedly left the lavishly blue throne room.

Such an action seemingly left the Queen as the only living being in the commodious halls.

That was until

FWIP! FWIP!

Two well-rounded women with light blue hair in maid outfits appeared from behind the throne.

Both of their auras indicated that they were well into the Peak Unity Form Synthesis Realm!

And that wasn't even the end of it, as they carried high-level treasured weapons on their backsweapons that were at the very minimum in the Early Earth Grade!

"I assume you two heard what he said?" The Queen asked with a raised eyebrow.

She was the only thing that Marina AquaRing, the Queen of the AquaRing Kingdom, truly loved.

There was, of course, Marina's husband; however, he was nothing but scum that slept with every whore, slut, and floozy within her Kingdom.

If not for his status as one of the Princes of the SunBurn Kingdom, then she would've already killed him a thousand times over.

But unfortunately, his position within the SunBurn Kingdom was near the top of the societal ladder, and killing him would have disastrous consequences for the AquaRings already fragile 'non-violence treaty'.

And it was because of such 'circumstances' that she opted against indirectly eliciting a war with the SubBurn Kingdom. It was for the best.

Nevertheless, that didn't mean Marina was helpless in the matter with her 'husband', as she had prevented him from sleeping with her for the last 2000 years!

That was the only form of solace and penance she could obtain from their marriage.

Nonetheless, in spite of her terrible marriage situation, she wanted nothing but the best for her daughter. And from what Aqua told her of this 'Azmond', he should've been a good guy.

But, unfortunately

She couldn't allow Aqua to meet that man. Not now, not in the future, not ever.

Marina could see the sadness and longing in Aqua's eyes whenever she mentioned 'Azmond', and she believed it truly would make her happy if they got together.

But not everything was a fairytale

Marina had been forced to marry off her daughter by the 'Heaven-sent' prince of the FireGod Empirean Empire that ruled over a sixth of the entire Azure Blank Continentan Empire that was even rumored to possess cultivators well into the Mahayana Realm.

And it was because of this 'FireGod Empire' that she reluctantly signed off on her daughter's marriage proposal.

It wasn't like Marina wanted to strip away Aqua's right of choice; she never wanted that for her daughter!

For that was exactly what happened to Marina herself

She was jolted into a marriage with the prince of the SunBurn Kingdom before she was even born.

She had no choice in the matter, just like her daughter, as the moment she came into the world, her life was already laid out for her.

And even after Marina had reached the Sixth Cataclysm of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, she still couldn't escape her fate.

It didn't matter that she had spent thousands of years arduously cultivating, for there would always be something strongerthere would always be something that controlled the way she lived her life.
