Chapter 84: A good kingdom

The queen then giggled and it turned into a laugh.

"I forgot that you are now a young mortal" Jake chuckled "Of course you would have those feelings if you see a beautiful woman"

My face was a bit red due to embarrassment

"Please forget my earlier statement, now let's talk about this Leviathan thing"

I tried to change the subject, but it seem to not work as everyone were either feeling embarrassed or in shock to my statement

"I know I shouldn't laugh during such hard times but that came out of nowhere" she then wiped a tear off her eyes "I'm Cordelia Laguna, a pleasure to meet you"

"So um the Leviathan problem" I coughed "That's why we were called right?"

-I really wish I had that recorded- Dabria chuckled

-You guys are suppose to be on my side here, please don't embarrass me any further-

-We'll let you off...for now- Ace replied

"Yes I believed we got sidetracked by your statement earlier, see the Leviathan, she was our guardian, her and her ancestors has protected us for generations" she explained

-I know she has a nice voice but please focus- Siege reminded

-I am-

"But one day, without warning, she started to attack our scouts that we sent to patrol in the sea and even attacking our barrier, my father and my brother tried to reason with her but she attacked them as well, we have sent out many soldiers to fight back, but none have returned, I am now the stand-in queen, and I saw a recording of you fighting alongside a dragon, I hoped that you can help us" she said "So I sent out Sir Erik to get you, if we can not stop her, the whole kingdom will have to evacuate, for now everyone is in the center but we do not have much time"

"Do you know where her lair is?"

"We do, yes" she nodded

"How many people knows about this apart from people in this room?"

"Several noble families, may I ask why are you asking me these questions?"

"Have you stolen anything from her to make her angry?"

"Not that I'm aware of" she shook her head

-Then it's one of the nobles, they probably stole something that is precious to her- Siege concluded

-I agree, a guardian wouldn't attack something it has protected for eons- Damon nodded

-Seems like you're actually pretty smart, good job- Dabria clapped

-Well he is, and would be much more charming if he keeps away those stupid and dark thoughts in that head of his- Diana said

"Where would you evacuate to? I mean there are people who can't breath air on the surface or underwater and the pills you gave were only temporary solutions"

"We do a have a permanent solution, it is to receive our blessings, we have bishops and priest already on that, and as for where we would go, we would have to join other kingdoms and live under them till we rebuild our kingdom" she answered "So do you think you can help us solve our problem? You are free to decline of course"

"I'll do it, but I want the permanent effect to breathe underwater for me and my companions, and second, I'll need a list of names for the people who knows the location of her lair and lastly, I have to meet this Leviathan of yours, when will it attack again?"

"She has attacked us yesterday, if we're right, she would attack again on the day after tomorrow, or we can go to her lair right now, but she would attack all of us" Cordelia answered "As for your other requests, it can be given to you tomorrow, Sir Erik please escort them to their rooms, and come get checked up afterwards, I might need you to go on another mission"

"Yes, your highness" he bowed

We then left the throne room, but Cordelia had another message as we left.

"Oh Perseus" She stopped us

"Is there anything else that you need?"

"As for the answer to your first question, I am indeed single" She smiled

-Seems like you found your first potential mate- Siege commented

-Please don't phrase it like that, my face is already as red as it is-

-We have found his other weakness- Ace said

-You guys aren't gonna let this go, are you?-

| Big time |

We then arrived in front of our room, it was a 4 bedroom suite, with a dining area and a living area. And they were also guarded by 2 big guards, but they aren't as big as the whales, and their teeth are razor sharp.

"Let me guess, these guys are sharks?"

"You are correct" Erik replied "I will have to leave you all here now, if you need anything, please ask the guards, they will be able to help you as much as me"

He then headed off.

"Say anyone want to explore the kingdom?"

"I'll accompany you if that's your wish" Richard replied

"I'll go too, I don't like staying here alone" Professor Emma nodded

"So you guys can give us a tour right?" I said to the sharks

"Of course" they bowed

*****

"This kingdom have all sorts of people huh"

We were in a market area, looking around for things to buy, and there were all sorts of species walking around

-Look a vampire- Ace pointed -A lizard person!-

-Elves, dwarves, hobgoblins, we can live here without needing to hide ourselves- Damon said

-I can tell from your face, you look like you like it here- Siege observed my face

-No, my family might, they mostly retired anyway, and here we use the same currencies and everything, they would love it here-

"Say sharks, if you were to compare the academies here to the ones I attend, which one would be better?"

"Around the same level I would say" one replied

"Though down here have many different species studying unlike up there" the other added

"Hey you can't think of transferring here, you still have us" Professor Emma said

"Don't worry about that, it's just that this seems like a good kingdom for my me and my family to settle down in"
