light shone through the palace as we walked down the hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aimar and Elijah were still a little sleepy but I was in my perfect condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Come to think of it, I don't even have to sleep much since I became an eternal.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, I am getting a constant supplement from the mana all day long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Himmel.\" Elijah said, scratching his face. \"Do we really have to go—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We got no other choice.\" I cut him off. \"Is there a problem?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Well.\" He mumbled softly. \"You aren't the only Aljanah here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He will perhaps also find a partner that is compatible with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Wait, is that [Main Heroine] with no past a mermaid?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is a high chance that we would meet her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'She is going to tease him to death.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shook my head in response, patting his shoulder twice before sighing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The fuck is this supposed to mean?\" Elijah asked, giving me a bewildered look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I ignored him and kept on walking until we reached the main hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, the daughter of Verena was already waiting for us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Levia bowed a little when she saw me, her silver hair spilling around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wore a simple white dress instead of her armour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When can we move?\" I asked, walking closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right now.\" She said, gesturing us to follow her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We began walking once again in the opposite direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir Himmel.\" Levia said, glancing back slightly. \"…Mother expressed her disappointment when you didn't visit her last night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I opened my mouth but then closed it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How the fuck am I supposed to answer that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, Aimar came forward to respond in my stead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you find it weird?\" He asked. \"Your mother calling other men into her room?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe my mother had something important to talk about.\" She responded without looking back. \"It's just your mind that's dirty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is she stupid?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am damn sure her mother is ready to take advantage of me at any given time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can she not see that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'….Come to think of it, I really don't know anything about her.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the game, a large proportion of the Aljanah family was massacred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That included Levia and her mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only one that played a critical role in the game was Jacob's youngest daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Hmm?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Levia led us back to the lakeside that I visited last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned and extended her hand toward my direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confused, I extended my hand as well and she interlocked her fingers with mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Care to explain this?\" I asked, giving her a weird look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are going in.\" She responded, pointing at the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned to look at the other two. \"What about—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before I could complete my words, a translucent bubble-like structure formed around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They will be safe.\" Levia said, pulling me toward the lake. \"Please be mindful of other mermaids.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind me, Aimar slapped the bubble around him and Elijah like a goldfish testing its tank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I ignored them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should I be worried?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Levia didn't look back, but her grip tightened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are curious creatures,\" she said in her calm monotone. \"But mostly they worship you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Levia moved forward over the lake surface and we sank straight into the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bubble carrying the other two moved behind us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water wrapped around us, cool but not cold, emitting a small glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Levia's hair floated like strands of moonlight, her expression unchanged as she guided me deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A veil of mana appeared around my face, letting me breathe normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this your doing?\" I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wow, I can talk underwater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just gave a slight nod as we drifted lower, and the world around us shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, she pulled me toward a large circular gate made of shining coral.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are entering the Lorelei Crypt,\" she said. \"Please stay close.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying so, her body began to emit a bright light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her legs joined together and then scales began to cover her form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of my eyes, her legs changed into a mermaid's tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…First time seeing something like this.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She moved closer to the coral and it shuddered immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gate split open with a heavy grinding sound, blue runes spiraling in a circle and forming a vortex of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Levia guided me inside the vortex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When we reached the other side, the water became darker but clearer at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An enormous underground island covered in a transparent spherical dome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind me Elijah and Aimar also appeared still inside the bubble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Levia guided us towards the spherical dome, as a few figures rushed toward us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Huh, macho mermaids?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they stopped in front of us, the water stilled completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three tall male mermaids hovered there, each built like tanks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them crossed his arms over his chest, glaring straight at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tail flicked once, sending a shockwave through the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is he?\" the mermaid demanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Levia straightened beside me, face still calm as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is my guest,\" she said simply. \"And you will not touch him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He squinted his eyes but nodded nonetheless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three of them turned and guided us toward the main door that parted open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lorelei Crypt was enormous—so big it felt like sunken buildings built by gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Floating lanterns shaped like jellyfish drifted in patterns overhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground beneath us turned to dry sand as the dome filtered out all water, letting us stand normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bubble around the other two vanished, making them stand on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She simply walked forward, tail turning back into legs as her glow dimmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please,\" she said quietly, \"don't touch anything unless I tell you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I retracted my hand that was about to touch the floating jellyfish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Hm?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned my head as I felt a shift in the mana around us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My my.\" A gentle soothing voice echoed. \"Aren't you sharp?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman appeared right in front of us, green eyes staring dead into my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was tall and regal, her hair long and blue-green, flowing like the ocean itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips curved into a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So,\" she murmured, voice echoing softly, \"The fallen came for his bride.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No actually—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandma.\" Levia cut me off, leaving my hand and submerging in the woman's arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandma?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing about the woman in front of me said old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Levia clung to her waist like a quiet cat, and the regal woman gently stroked her silver hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My little pearl,\" she whispered, her voice smooth as flowing water. \"You should visit more often.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Levia's expression relaxed for the first time since morning. \"Apologies, Grandma Lyssa.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled, patted her head and turned her gaze toward me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are my manners?\" She said, smiling. \"My name is Lyssa Nelo Lorelei, the guardian of the mermaid bloodline.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Himmel.\" I responded respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled and gestured toward the main castle at the centre of the dome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you may.\" She spoke gently. \"I would love to talk with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not this again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded slightly and Lyssa looked at her granddaughter. \"Can you call your aunts for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Levia nodded and began to rush in a different direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lyssa became our guide now, taking us toward the castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aimar slowly creeped to my side, elbowing me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it just me…\" he whispered in my ear. \"Or are the three generations of women hitting on you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wanted to argue that Levia isn't, but then I remembered how she gave me special treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Fuck, this is genuinely creeping me out.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bro… if the great-grandmother—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I elbowed him in the ribs hard enough to make him wince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Are they all really that eager to become a goddess' puppet?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is seriously weird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lyssa turned her head slightly, smiling at me. \"Can you feel it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tilted my head, glancing up at the crystal castle looming in front of us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My steps slowed down as I felt a really familiar divinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lyssa smiled, taking us inside the castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, the hall glowed with soft blue light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water hovered mid-air in floating spheres, showing small illusions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, is there?\" I asked hesitantly. \"Something related to Anastasia?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her smile only grew brighter. \"Yes.\" She said. \"To be more specific, we guard the Primordial weapon of Lady Anastasia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I could ask, Lyssa gestured for us to sit at a long glass-like table shaped like a ripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please,\" she said softly. \"Sit. I called for my daughters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, not this again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steps echoed as my head turned toward the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three figures appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>….The princesses of the mermaid family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Aljanah Castle.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dimly lit main room, a woman gently hummed a melody.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hand gently brushing the hair of the man lying on her lap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora smiled, giving Jacob a gentle pat on his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you complete my task, boy?\" She asked, making him look up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" Jacob replied as if he was in a trance state. \"I have called all of the Aljanahs from Akasha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good~.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She cupped his face tenderly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are so obedient and loyal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers slid down to his throat, caressing it as if she were holding something fragile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her smile widened just a fraction too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now,\" she said softly, \"we only need the final piece.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned down, whispering against Jacob's ear. \"You will help me get it, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….Yes.\" he nodded like a puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora hummed again, gentle as a mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Soon,\" she whispered, stroking Jacob's cheek, \"everything that was stolen from me… will be mine again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes moved up to the pictures on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>….
