Chapter 290: Cunning queen

Annete's sad expression disappeared in a flash, before she returned to her usual relaxed self, she took another sip of her teas before she continued.

"Imagine my surprise when I saw one of the two extinct founding lineages… the one who was considered the most important one for the, surge again in front of me".

"I don't think that's what made you change your overall attitude regarding us though", said Daimon as he looked directly at Annete's eyes.

The queen was surprised for a couple seconds but then a bright smile flourished on her face, as she stole a couple of glances at her little sister.

"You are quite clever for someone from the young generation…. You are right, that's only a part of the reason as to why I decided to have this conversation without hiding anything".

Annete tapped her fingers on the table a couple of times before saying.

"But to be honest, the main reason is because I find you quite interesting, it's the first time my Analyzing Resonance can't see through someone~".

Mellie sighed, as she gently nudged her sister's sides.

"Ahem, sis".

Annete giggled and then she poked Mellie's nose.

"Come on, weren't you the same, don't ditch big sister now".

Once she teased her little sister enough, Annete cleared her throat and then said.

"There is also the fact that you appeared in our kingdom in this specific moment is too convenient to be a coincidence, specially because the Trident of the Promise broke not too long ago".

"And basically, that's the reason of my change of heart, now it's my time to ask".

Daimon nodded; she went beyond what he expected in her answer.

The queen looked directly at Daimon's eyes which still had that vertical yellow line in their pupils, before saying what was in her mind.

"What is your goal here?".

Annete's question was pretty simple and yet it was probably the most important one, Daimon also noticed the mark in her forehead shone in yellow light, and the pretty crystal horns on her head glowed too.

Although Daimon didn't know how the skill of her race worked, his instincts told him that if he lied, she would find out, luckily there was no need for that, since his goal now was to complete the mission, he got from the system.

"For a variety of reasons, I need to win the beast hunt and the three-art tournament too, also there is a friend who is trapped somewhere in the Maelstrom Sea, which I need to find in the next three or four months".

Annete's pretty eyes narrowed a bit as she said.

"And what about our planer, or more specifically this kingdom?".

Daimon thought about it for a split of a second before he answered in a firm but calm voice.

"I'm not a pacifist if someone comes to me looking for trouble I will cut their heads, that being said I have never pointed my sword at anyone who didn't deserve it".

Annete's eyes glowed for a second, which seemed to last an eternity, before she leaned backwards on her chair.

"Okay I believe you, your turn".

Daimon nodded, as he pointed at the vertical yellow line in his pupils.

"Since you know about "Ruler of the sea", what is a Drakolevia?".

Annete frowned, she grabbed the pendant that was hanging from her neck, which was similar to Mellie's.

"Where did you hear that name?", she mumbled.

"I read it in what you could consider the entrance to this place", said Daimon, being careful with his words, technically he also read it from the system, but the first time he saw it was in the black stone corridor where he appeared after entering to the magic ruin.

"I don't know too much about it… in fact I'm pretty sure no one does, with the exception of the ancestor of the royal family, however in the myths, Drakolevia is a guardian deity, the incarnation of the sea itself and the ancestor of all the sea related races".

"But for some unknown reasons, it was erased from the history books, I only know about it because I heard someone mention it once when I was a little girl".

"My turn, are you the only ones that entered our planet?", she asked.

Daimon contemplated things for a moment before saying.

"No, but we aren't companions with most of them, there are four separated groups, and we are part of one of those, don't aske what their objective is because I don't know it".

Anette nodded in response, while she thought of her next question, it was Daimon's turn.

"Has there been other cases of people coming from another galaxies, before us?".

Annete raised an eyebrow, but she still answered.

"Well, the prior and sole bearer of the Black Armored Shark lineage was said to have been found unconscious on the shore, and according to the history he wasn't knowledgeable about our planet, the seas and many common things".

"Also, he didn't have any sea beast characteristic at the beginning, and only manifested some when he awakened the Black Armored Shark lineage, so it's safe to assume he wasn't a native of this planet, unfortunately one day after repelling the army of the skelefiends, he vanished without a trace".

After listening to Annete's answer, Daimon was now 100% that this place has been visited by people from other stellar charts before, the only piece of information that he was lacking now, was how was Adam, Marcus and the guys from the tribes related to this planet.

"What is your name?", this time it was Mellie the one asking a question.

"You can call me Daimon".

Daimon was about to ask his question, when the head maid Martha knocked on the door before, she entered the dining room.

"Pardon the interruption young miss, the Lord of the city has arrived and is waiting in the living room".

"Thanks Martha, I'll be there in a second", after saying that, Martha bowed and left the dining room, Annete then looked at Daimon and said.

"I'll answer to the rest of your questions later, but I have one last from my side… will you team up with Mellie in the beast hunt and the three-art tournament?".

Noticing the surprise in Daimon's eyes, Annete remembered they weren't natives of the Clear Water kingdom.

"Right, you don't know the rules, the beast hunt requires a six people team, and everyone must be on the early stage of the middle Mortal realm at most, originally I was preparing some warriors to go with Mellie, but she says she thinks it's safer if she goes with you, think about it~".

Before Daimon could answer, Annete disappeared from the room, leaving a flushed Mellie.

"My sister likes to mess with others, specially with me, but it is true that your group must consist on six people to participate in the magic beast hunt and the three-art tournament, and while my father forced me to join Ralph Blackfin's team originally, now that this happened, I'm free to go with whoever I want… and I can tell you will never sell your teammates".

Daimon exchanged some gazes with the girls, they were going to need an extra member in their team, and Mellie couldn't betray them since he now had that pendant, while he was unable to sign a soul contract with anyone from this planet for some reason, so she was the best option available, also it's not like she was weak in any sense, so there were no downsides to it.

Also, if they were accompanied by Annete it was going to be easier to navigate in the Clear Water kingdom, which was good considering he still needed to find the second gem and he didn't know where to start.

"Sure, that spell you used was pretty interesting, was it a wind element one?", asked Daimon, he originally though the spell Mellie used to distract the leading pirate was an illusion or mind type spell, something like his Overlord's Pride, but then he saw Annete tapping her finger before the eardrums of Ralph's bodyguard exploded.

So, he was thinking it was some kind of pressure generated through wind attribute magic.

"Something like that but…", as Mellie was about to answer, the door of the dining room opened and Annete who was smiling from ear to ear, returned with them.

"It's done, the Blackfin Duke was notified a moment ago that if he doesn't pay… "compensate", his son will be punished according to the law by tomorrow morning, I can't wait to see his face hehehe".

Daimon almost could see a fox tail and ears appear on Annete, just to fit with the cunning smile she had right now.

'I guess there is one Erin in every family', he thought.

The queen then walked towards Daimon and offered him a handshake.

"So, what do you say Daimon, I think that in the same group of age, my little Mellie wouldn't lose against anyone in the Clear Water kingdom, it's not a bad deal right?".

Daimon accepted Annete's handshake to formalize the deal.

"Sounds good to me".

The queen smiled while she inwardly laughed.

'I can't wait to see, what the combination of Ruler of the sea and Analyzing Resonance can do', she thought.

"That being the case, feel free to ask whatever you might need, the beast hunt was moved for the day after tomorrow, according to the Trident Marshal, so you only have one day to prepare".

Daimon nodded, he already had a good idea of what he needed and a day should be enough anyway.

"Do you have a library, I want to get a good idea of the history of this planet, so that my cover isn't blown away by some random mistake, that and I want your help to find my companions, I can give you some descriptions but it needs to be done in total secrecy, because some of the other guys that came with us aren't exactly our friends".

"Okay, I have a private library here, Mellie can take you there, as for your other request just write down the descriptions and I will use my own network to look for them".
