A Bold Mermaid Queen

Lucien is so excited to finally taste Saria's most precious juice that he forgets where they are...

On the rooftop of Ludmila's castle, right above the room where the girls are right now.

Most of them are too busy focusing on other things, but even while talking to Ludmila, Nea can't help but hear her daughter's cute declarations.

She quickly sends a mental message to Lucien. "What the hell are you doing?!"

"Nea??" Lucien jumps when he hears Nea's angry voice in his mind.

He can't help but remember when they first met, and she treated him so coldly.

He always understood that she saw through him like no other woman before, even before they had a Soul Contract.

She knew he was dangerous and wanted to keep him far away from her pure and kind daughter.
