Kiera walked to the cave with her servant Layla looking for a pool of divine water her informants had given her
They saw the divine with a young man her age standing there with dark skin and white hair though he was skinny he had a handsome face all of a sudden a wave of death aura overcame her and her servant Layla
It seems the aura came from this man 'damn it he is probably a paragon demigod'
....
Rio looked at the girls confused why they were trembling but who cares about that rio had gone to an awakened demigod the first stage of power
The girls looked shocked as Rio just completed ignoring them like they didn't exist keira felt offended but kept her cool
"Hello sir I would like to use your divine water pool"
Rio finally looked up and almost shit himself cause that was the second protagonist. In the game the daughter of the tyrant of the seas queen but now she was calling him sir
"No I shall not but I can fix your mother's illness" Rio said keira looked shocked and Layla had her shorts with hidden blades and in her crop tops poison daggers she and Keira had the same white hair colour with eyes as blue as the ocean
"How do you know that" Keira asked still suspicious but Rio didn't care and said to her "Take me to the mermaid kingdom now"
Keira was still thinking Rio was a paragon demigod agreed to terms though Layla was still suspicious keira took Rio out of the cave layla hand gripped her blade firmly
Suddenly a big sea dragon it blue scales with no wings and a serpentine body Rio got on but before it entered the water he asked Keira for an air bubble Though Keira was still suspicious she decided to do it as a paragon demigod and known to be quite eccentric
The serpentine dragon went through the sea swimming with great speed suddenly rocks appeared along the way and they seemed to surround a whirlpool The serpentine dragon jumped in while all this happened rio decided to check his new stats
[strength:13]
[vitality:15]
[agility:16]
[divine essence purity:20]
He's stats had really improved which was great for him and finally they had arrived at the mermaid kingdom but Layla was the most suspicious of Rio she had sensed not that much divine essence from him
The people welcomed the Princess Keira praising her as a chariot arrived in front of Rio and Rioo with confidence got on and the chariot went to the Palace but since he hadn't made an appointment with the queen he slept and he wanted to recover his energy before talking to the tyrant of the seas
...
Lalya while looking at Rio was planning to kill him but held back her murderous intent though his divine essence purity was low he had a thick aura of death no person should have but seeing Keira calm she decided not to as she wanted to disturb or anger the princess
Rio was woken up by Keira as her mother had expected his audience. He exited the carriage and saw an extravagant palace.
The Azure Spire Palace stood out as a breathtaking marvel.
Its massive structure, adorned in rich shades of blue, glistened like sapphires under the sun.
The rich history and the regal opulence meant to be shown through the palace were clear to Rio.
They entered the palace.
"Are we meeting the Queen immediately?" Rio asked.
"Yes. She is busy with the audience, but she has asked to meet you as soon as possible," Keira answered.
While the two conversed, Layla followed Keira silently like a faithful shadow.
They reached the door of the audience chamber.
The guard bowed to them and stepped into the hall to announce their arrival.
…
The Audience hall
The Tyrant Queen, Amelia, sat on the throne.
Her silver hair cascaded like moonlight, and her crimson eyes, deep and enigmatic, glowed like rubies, exuding an aura of both allure and danger.
Her gaze held the coldness of a distant star, yet there was an undeniable charm that drew all eyes to her.
On both sides of the audience hall, there were dozens of ministers and citizens.
Today's audience had been abruptly halted by the Queen.
They did not know what was happening.
As they waited, a guard entered the hall.
"The Princess Keira de Beaufort is arriving with an Esteemed Guest!"
Keira and Layla stepped inside.
Immediately, the eyes of ministers were drawn to the doors, waiting for the esteemed guest, like hawks for prey.
It was an open secret that Keira was looking for the Divine Water source to save the Queen.
However, most of them were against it.
So…
They had to be vigilant.
To know if the "Esteemed Guest" was truly capable of saving the Queen.
If he was, then he was an enemy.
