Trying to Convince the Mermaid Queen (1/2)

As Mira and Kamala meet their new sisters within Purple World, the mood at the Sea Devil seems to grow tense.

Lucien just mentioned that he offers the Mermaids power in exchange for loyalty, but that doesn't mean much to Nea. "Look, boy, I can't thank you enough for bringing Kaisa back to me..."

She looks at the cursed sword in her hand before sighing. "My daughter sacrificed her own life for the sake of our people, and if I accept putting these same people at risk because of her, I would be ruining her memory."

"I get it." Lucien increasingly admires Nea's firm and frank personality. And that only makes him more sure that she and the Mermaids are the people who most deserve his help to become stronger.
