Chapter 503: 499 Welcome To The Merland (2)

Queen Marina smiled amicably. She even chuckled as she went close and affectionately hugged Grandma Brygid.

"Great Madam, my mentor! Why are you acting like that? Have you forgotten how I kept clinging to you when I was just a young mermaid? Don't make me feel sad and distant. See all your family is here, I am equally happy that you finally have the time to visit our land once again!" The Queen said in an affectionate manner.

Grandma Brygid could only helplessly chuckle and dotingly respond to Queen Marina's words. This shocked everyone in the area, including the Forgeworns themselves.

It turns out that Grandma Brygid was once the Queen's teacher when she was at her prime at the Green Wave Institute! What's more, Queen Marina was one of her closest students at the time!

Their reunion made everyone in a daze, so much so that Wade had to carefully remind Queen Marina to let them enter the palace halls first before they continued.

As they entered, they were welcomed by the beautiful interior of the palace. The pillars stood tall and sturdy, brandishing a pearly cast into its body.

Even the tiles were made of smooth underwater rocks that were almost like marble. The interior was illuminated by large-sized pearls.

"Perhaps our aides will send you first to your quarters so that you could catch a bit of rest. Our kitchen has been preparing for a feast to welcome everyone, and my husband Havelok will join us later on. He is also excited to meet you and the family, especially the young Eli and her adorable son."

Queen Marina looked at Eli and Little Han with excitement as she mentioned these words. However, she controlled her excitement to allow the elderly and the children to have a quick rest.

The palace was indeed prepared for the entire family as the family had their own quarters.

They managed to have a two-hour rest before the servants called them for the banquet, and there they saw the Merking Havelok and Merqueen along with their offspring welcoming them warmly.

The mermaids do not like having to adhere to troublesome etiquettes unlike those who were on the surface, as such the atmosphere of the feast wasn't suffocating at all.

If not for the fact that Eli and Little Han's identity is quite special, the palace could have summoned the entire city to join the happy feast, however, they all had to exercise caution. Nevertheless, the banquet proceeded quite pleasantly.

The children also had their own place and they were carefully guarded by their nannies and the nannies from the Amer palace.

Little Han, as usual, was surrounded by many kids, especially Baobao appearing to be his Panda Nanny along with Rosea.

But the most bizarre thing was Wade and the rest of the warrior mermen. They all surrounded Baobao in the distance, seemingly curious and interested.

"It was my first time seeing such a legendary creature! I feel like my horizons have been widened!" One warrior came and commented.

"Indeed, I heard from the rest of the shorelines, that the great Panda was so strong he was able to take down multiple A-class warriors in front of the Seirende Emperor and officials!"

"Amazing!"

"How mysterious!"

"We shall ask the lady if we can invite the great Panda for sparring tomorrow!" Some of them even planned.

The mermen warriors all rubbed their chins and looked at Baobao intently. There was a bright interest in their eyes as they watched the nanny Panda sit still and docile with so many kids, dwarfs, humans, and little merfolks climb his body.

On the other side of the hall were the elders along with the Queen and King.

The Merking, Havelok was a big-built merman who was considerably taller than any other mermen around. He had an authoritative demeanor as a king yet he also gives everyone the impression that he is amicable and wise.

Of course, his most distinct trait was his gentleness and doting toward his wife, Merqueen Marina.

The two of them had two offspring. The Prince of the Merland, Nalu, and his younger sister Princess Pasha, were of the same age as Kayden and Eli, as such both of them were quite friendly toward them.

The banquet did not last that long as the Merqueen and Merking considered the fact that the Forgeworns have traveled for so long. They were especially worried that it would have a toll on the elders' and the children's bodies if they made them rest so late.

And so the first night in the Merland was spent like this. Eli and Little Han peacefully rested in their quarters until Eli received Leon's message in the middle of the night.

Eli looked at Little Han, who was peacefully sleeping after playing around for a while. She gently smiled as she quickly pulled a pen and a piece of notification paper to answer Leon's message.

When she was done, she slowly got off the bed, carefully ensuring that Little Han's sleep was not disturbed.

She slowly walked towards their room's balcony.

While they were underwater, the merland was like a typical moonless city with the faint glimmer of street-illuminating pearls as the only source of light. It was a bizarre site, but it is quite lovely to see as one could not help but marvel at its mystery.

The night wasn't cold either, as there was no breeze that blew, yet it was still cool enough for Eli to comfortably stay out.

After a while, Leon's long-awaited call arrived, giving Eli a smile of relief.

Ensuring that Little Han was sound asleep, she asked Leon countless questions just to let out the anxiousness in her heart.

Only she knew how bottled up her anxiousness was when she knew that while they were exploring such a mystical world, her love was in the wilderness, warring with only twenty or so men to face an entire army of soldiers.

She repeatedly distracted herself by interacting with children and marveling at the beautiful world of the undersea. However, none of those can take away the creeping distress Eli was feeling in her heart.

At one point, she sighed, it was only Leon's first fight. How much more when the war is already full-blown?

Can her heart take the worry and anxiousness?

But Leon surely knew what words to say to her. Because soon, her worries were immediately washed away by Leon's calming voice and a tone full of assurance.

Slowly, her mind could truly relax as Leon assured her that everything is fine. After some time, Leon asked about their day to which Eli happily shared the things that happened, especially how Little Han was so active at the time.

Leon's chuckle of delight warmed Eli's heart. Sometimes all it takes for their fears to wash away was each other's presence.

Suddenly both of them had the urge to run into each other's arms and taste each other's lips. However, they could not possibly do it.

"Leon, I miss you…" Eli sighed, her eyes teary as she crossed her arms as if hugging herself to contain her emotions.

"Hmmm… I miss you too…" Leon replied with the same helplessness in his voice.

"In the end, we still have to hold on for a little longer." Leon softly blurted out, there was a deep sense of longing and yearning in his voice.

"I know… It's only the first day, yet so much is already happening." Eli replied.

"We will pull through. I will make sure of it… so just believe in me and focus on your missions out there. Hug our son for me please." There was a soft quiver in Leon's voice, but it was enough for Eli to feel the rippling emotions from his heart.

"Leon, let's call like this often…" Eli asked pleadingly.

"En… Let's try our best, after all, I can only rest assured when I hear your voice." Leon replied, his eyes beaming with joy at the thought of Eli becoming more clingy toward him.

But both of them were on the same page. No matter how distant, no matter what circumstance, knowing that the people important to you were still with you in one way or another makes everything feel lighter.

The call lasted for a while, but since Eli was worried that Leon would not have enough sleep, she reluctantly ended the call with him.

But the call worked like magic on Eli. As soon as she went back to the sleeping Little Han, she too fell asleep rather peacefully.

She had a good dreamless sleep and she was only woken up by a pair of soft chubby hands touching her face and playing with her hair occasionally.

Her eyes fluttered as she heard Little Han's lively voice, "Mommi~ iz mowning… good mowning!!! Wakey wakey!!!"

When Eli's eyes opened, the room was already bright as if the sun had already shined in the underwater world.

"Good morning my baby!" She smiled as she cupped Little Han's face staring back at her in a lively manner.
