Chapter 941: If She’s Lucky, Something Will Be Born From Her As Well [Part 1]
King Betram's eyes looked at the young man hovering in front of the Lost City of Atlantis for nearly half a minute, then shifted his attention to his daughter.
Illumina's eyes, as she looked at the young man, were filled with pride and affection, and it almost seemed like she was doing her best to hold back from declaring to the entire world that the Prince of Atlantis "was her man".
Back then, King Betram thought that his daughter was only chasing after the end of rainbows when she said that she had already given her rainbow scale to someone.
Giving her Rainbow Scale was like giving half of her heart away, so when he first learned about it, he was very curious who the lucky person was, and so he asked his daughter to introduce her lover to him.
However, Illumina only looked back at him with a straight face and said, "He's not born yet," which almost made King Betram choke on his saliva.
Since then, he no longer asked who this mystery lover was.
But now, seeing the young man in front of him, King Betram couldn't help but sigh in admiration because his daughter's insight was many times better than his.
'Wait... how did she hook up with the Prince if he wasn't yet born back then?' King Betram thought. 'Maybe I should ask her later when everything is over.'
While the King of Saphirus was thinking about these things, The Progenitor, Leviathan, stared down at the Ocean Races, who had all knelt to recognize the return of the Prince of Atlantis.
Prince Baltic, who could feel Ethan's gaze boring into his body, gritted his teeth as he prostrated on the seafloor.
"Your Highness, please forgive me!" Prince Baltic shouted. "I didn't know that Princess Illumina was your woman. If I knew, I wouldn't have dared to ask for her hand in marriage!"
Ethan narrowed his eyes and asked the invisible golden egg, who was perched on his shoulder, a question.
'Do you want to eat him?' Ethan asked.
'I don't eat trash,' the Golden Egg replied in disdain.
It had just devoured the rich life essence of a Colossi, so it wasn't interested in a mere Naga Prince.
Ethan then raised his hand and made a pulling motion.
The water surrounding Prince Baltic stirred. A second later, the Prince found himself being pulled in Ethan's direction by some kind of invisible water rope that bound his entire body, preventing him from escaping.
"Have mercy!" Prince Baltic shouted. "I swear that I won't do it again!"
"Your Highness, please have mercy!" the King of Nagas, who saw his son's plight, couldn't help but exclaim. "It is King Colossi who promised my son that he would be granted Princess Illumina as his wife if he joined the Great Plan!"
"I don't care whether he was forced or voluntarily jumped onto Oceanus' side," Ethan said coldly. "Right now, I am very angry. If you want to join your son, I can make that happen, too."
Ethan's gaze which was filled with killing intent locked on the King of the Nagas, making the latter's face turn grim.
The Nagas were a war-like race.
They were among the fiercest members of the Ocean Races.
This was also why King Oceanus roped them into his schemes first. He knew that once the Nagas were on his side, the other Races would feel intimidated and join his ranks as well. But now that Ethan was looking at him, even the fierce Naga King felt as if he was just moments away from meeting his maker, so he no longer dared to plead for his son's safety. Not to mention, Prince Baltic was merely one of his sons.
Although losing the most ambitious among his children would be quite a loss for him, he still had many sons whom he could train to become the next Naga King.
Right now, the most important thing was to survive.
As long as he survived, nothing else mattered.
Seeing that his father abandoned him, Prince Baltic's anxiety rose drastically as he came face to face with the handsome young man whom Illumina had kissed earlier.
"Y-Your Highness, I am willing to be your slave!" Prince Baltic pleaded. "No matter what you ask of me, I will do it without fail. Your enemies will be my enemies! I will work like a dog for your sak-arghhh!"
A loud cracking sound spread in the surroundings as Prince Baltic's right shoulder twisted in an unnatural angle, making him cry out in pain.
Despite his loud cries, a sinister and vile laughter reached everyone's ears. Those who heard it couldn't help but shudder because it felt like it had come from the very depths of the abyss. Dainsleif appeared right beside Prince Baltic and grabbed the Prince's right arm. He then slowly twisted it, breaking the bones, making the Naga Prince's cry much louder.
The arrogant prince was horrified after seeing the vile creature who was enjoying his fear and suffering.
The Ancient Wendigo then broke the Naga Prince's legs, enjoying his cries of pain.
Even the ones watching this scene couldn't help but feel anxious because they were afraid that after the Naga Prince was dealt with, it would be their turn next.
Because of this, the Manta King, the Crab King, the Finfolk King, and the other Kings, swam toward the city of Saphirus and knelt in front of Illumina, asking for her forgiveness.
The Mermaid Princess looked down on these Kings with contempt, but she didn't utter a single word.
The one who would decide their Fate wasn't her, but Ethan.
Right now, she was content to let her man handle her grievances and make the Ocean Races understand that they made the wrong decision by antagonizing her and her Kingdom.
Seeing that the War Princess wasn't saying anything, the Kings turned their attention to King Betram and pleaded for forgiveness.
King Betram wanted to spit on all of them and curse the nine generations of their families.
However, he held back and simply told them that if they truly wish to ask for his forgiveness, all of them must compensate him.
Only then would he ask his "son-in-law" to spare their miserable lives.
After hearing his reply, the Kings were delighted and immediately promised him a generous compensation for offending their Kingdom.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
They were even thinking that they should just offer their daughters to the Prince of Atlantis, hoping that he was a lustful prince like Prince Baltic.
However, when they saw that Illumina was looking down on them with a cold expression on her face, they decided that this plan was too dangerous!
They then proceeded to think of other alternatives to pacify the anger of the young man, who had come to save his lover's kingdom from destruction.
