Chapter 942: If She’s Lucky, Something Will Be Born From Her As Well [Part 2]
Princess Wilhelmina was feeling troubled as well.
While it was true that their Kingdom had been forced to join King Oceanus' side, that didn't change the fact that she was one of the people who had joined the assault against the
Kingdom of Saphirus.
Her Father, King Aenon, appeared beside her and patted her shoulder.
"You don't have to shoulder this sin," King Aenon said softly. "I will offer my life if I have to in order to absolve you and our kingdom from this crime."
"You mustn't do that, Father!" Princess Wilhelmina was startled after hearing the determination in her father's voice. "For better or worse, Illumina is still my friend. I'm sure that she would be willing to say a word or two to her lover, reducing the punishment for our crimes."
Princess Wilhelmina glanced in the direction of the walls of Saphirus, where her friend stood proudly. A determined look then appeared on her face as she made a decision.
'If worse comes to worse, I will just offer myself to him as a way to atone for my kingdom's sin,' Princess Wilhelmina thought. 'That will be enough, right?'
What Princess Wilhelmina didn't know was that there was another Mermaid Princess who was having the same thoughts.
Princess Ariel looked at the young man, who was watching Prince Baltic's suffering, with a faint smile on her face.
She was confident in her beauty and charms. No man would be able to resist her advances. Princess Ariel believed that if she played her cards right, she would even be able to replace Illumina's position in the young man's heart.
As these thoughts formed inside her head, she couldn't help but feel something warm spread inside her chest as she gazed at the Prince of Atlantis, who had single-handedly defeated King Oceanus.
She had no doubt in her mind that the Colossi had died in battle.
Even if he had survived, he was simply no match for the Progenitor of the Sea, Leviathan. No one had seen the Giant Sea Serpent for the past hundreds of years, so seeing him now reminded her of the Prophecy that she once heard when she was still very young.
"Atlantis will return with its prince, and with it, a new era will be born."
Her body subconsciously trembled as she glanced at Illumina in the distance.
'Maybe something else will be born out of this incident,' Princess Ariel thought as her cheeks turned a pale pink after.
She then shifted her gaze to Princess Wilhelmina, who was also looking at Ethan with a determined look on her face.
'If she's lucky, something will be born from her as well,' Princess Ariel mused. 'If that happens... it means I have a chance as well.'
The cries of the pitiful Naga Prince sounded for a few more minutes before a blood-curdling scream reached everyone's ears.
Dainsleif had taken a bite of the prince's right hand, relishing the taste of the Naga which was a being that he was eating for the first time.
Everyone was forced to watch this horrifying scene from start to end, making them realize that the Prince of Atlantis was someone who didn't bat an eye when it came to killing.
Dainsleif had used an ability that was unique to Wendigo's, which kept their victim alive even after most of their body parts were eaten.
This ensured that they could enjoy the taste of their victim's despair and horror until their very last moments.
When all that was left was Prince Baltic's head, Dainsleif held it close to his face and chuckled evilly.
Earlier, he felt disappointed because he wasn't able to eat King Oceanus' body.
Ethan had his reasons as to why he burned the Colossi's body to ash, preventing it from being revived once more.
If Dainsleif ate the Colossi's body, there was a chance that it would have an effect on the Ancient Wendigo.
The worst-case scenario was that the Colossi might have an ability that could overwrite Dainsleif's soul and take control of his body.
This was something that Ethan's Other Half had brought up, warning Ethan to not take any chances.
Even though King Oceanus was very frail at that point and seemed that he no longer had any trump cards left, it was best to be careful, so he wouldn't regret anything in the future.
Also since Sebastian and his Other Half were present at the scene, they had confirmed that the Colossi had truly died, and there was no longer any chance for King Oceanus to make a comeback after his body turned into ashes.
With his ashes safely stored inside the Domain of the Twilight, no one would be able to use it to perform any ancient rituals that might summon the Colossi's spirit back to the world. With Prince Baltic's death, Ethan then shifted his attention to the Armies of the War Council in front of him, making the soldiers flinch under his gaze.
"By my Authority as the Prince of Atlantis, I hereby declare that all of you are now my subjects," Ethan declared. "I am willing to turn a blind eye to your previous transgression of attempting to destroy the Kingdom of my wife, Illumina.
"If you all make a vow to serve me and obey my commands, I will absolve everyone of their crimes and will no longer issue punishments. So, are all of you willing to serve me as your Prince? What say you?"
"I am willing!" Princess Ariel replied before anyone could say anything.
Ethan's gaze landed at her, making the corner of the Mermaid Princess' lips rise up into a faint
smile.
She wanted to leave a good first impression, and judging by Ethan's reaction, she had succeeded in her plan.
A second later, another voice shouted.
"I am willing to follow his Highness!" Princess Wilhelmina announced.
Princess Ariel almost giggled after seeing that the calm and steadfast Princess' face had turned beet red.
Soon, more pledges were heard, until everyone in the battlefield had made their pledge.
"""We are willing!"""
«««We are willing!"""
«««We are willing!"""
«««We are willing!"""
Ethan nodded and the Kingdom of Atlantis started to move once more.
It headed toward the Kingdom of Saphirus and stopped a hundred meters away from its city
walls.
"Illumina, come to my side," Ethan said with a smile as he reached out his hand in a gesture for his lover to come to him.
Without any hesitation, Illumina swam toward him until his strong arms wrapped around her body and pulled her into a loving embrace.
A moment later, the Mermaid Princess took the initiative to give Ethan a passionate kiss, which the latter returned in kind.
King Betram chuckled when he saw how his aloof, arrogant daughter turned into a loving young lady in the arms of the man she loved.
'It's a good thing my daughter got him first,' King Betram thought as he eyed the other Kings, who were also looking at this scene with sly looks on their faces. 'Hmph! Even if these bastards try to use a honey-trap against my son-in-law, it won't work. How can they even
compare to my daughter's beauty?
"These old sea slugs can only watch from the side as the Kingdom of Saphirus prospers. Hahaha! The time for us to rise has finally come! Once Illumina gives birth to the Prince's child, our lineage will become part of the next royal family of Atlantis!'
King Betram was very happy thinking that his daughter would become Ethan's first and main
wife.
If he only knew how many lovers the Prince of Atlantis currently had at the moment, he would start to feel anxious because the position of first wife had already been taken away from his
daughter.
Also, as to whether his daughter would be the first to give birth to Ethan's child, King Betram would only know after several months in the future.
