As they got closer and closer to the palace, the light from the place appeared brighter and brighter, and they could see the bustling city, the shops that were filled with customers going and out, and they could even hear the loud laughter of the children who were playing on the road.
And they even saw the five pillars of water that connected to the floating land up above, and these pillars were connected to the bottom of the air dome, in five different locations. When they looked up, they could see that each pillar was filled with tens of people, all moving down at a constant speed that was neither fast nor slow.
They were still surrounded by water everywhere, but it was like the water was air. They couldn't feel the water on their body at all. The only reason why they knew they were still in water was because of the fishes that were still swimming around.
Everything was bigger here, the entrance, the people, even the food portion. One of the shops suddenly had a window pushed open, and a stout woman with short blue hair reached out and grabbed a poor fish that was just slowly swimming past before yelling, "LUNCH IS ALMOST READY!"
Her voice was so clear that it defied all scientific explanation that noises would be muffled in water, if non existent.
"Look!" Cyrus elbow-bumped Juin and pointed at a group of people who had just entered the air dome from above.
"CHA!"
"CHA!"
"CHA!"
There were no cars or boats, but a more primitive manner of transportation, a creature that looked like seahorses. These creatures were dark blue, and some of them were black with red spine, in color, with multiple glowing light blue veins on their bodies, and instead of a straight back that curved inward, their backs bent back slightly, allowing their riders to sit comfortably.
This group of people were sitting on such a creature.
And from the way the guards saluted them, it appeared that this group was important in this underwater country, especially the one leading them, a man in a scary, monster-like half mask that covered his face from the nose down.
Juin narrowed his eyes and focused, and he saw that the man was wearing a golden band with a red ruby that was placed on his forehead.
Even though they were in water, his blue hair did not look damp at all. Instead, it bounced up and down as he urged his steed to move faster, and his blue hair seemed to glow slightly as he moved.
Suddenly, as if he knew he was being watched, the man looked over and met Juin's eyes. However, after slowing down for a few seconds, the man looked away and continued heading toward his destination.
"Pick up your speed," Tucker suddenly said, and the boys immediately nodded.
While descending onto the seabed, Juin took a quick glance around.
"You b*tch! Do you still think that you're still the proud high and mighty Crown Princess?! You are just a princess with no backup! How dare you to try and go against me, the true First Princess!"
The moment Juin, Cyrus, and Tucker arrived at the entrance of the arena, before they could even take in the magnificent white facade of the building and its detailed carvings on the walls, they heard someone yelling from within.
"Who's that…" Juin mumbled, trying to take a peek into the arena. From the way the voice sounded, he felt that it was probably a royalty, like what Tucker mentioned earlier. Those arrogant tone and manner of speaking could only come from someone who was raised with the idea that they were above everyone else.
"Like that guy…" he thought and chuckled to himself. If that guy knew what he was thinking about, he would have flipped.
"A woman…" Cyrus said, his ears perking up. Closing his ears with his hands tightly, he complained with a frown, "She's too shrill!"
The entrances of the arena were all blocked by at least two Atlantean guards, and given the fact that Atlanteans were generally bigger than them, Juin and Cyrus found that they could not easily see past the guards. All they could hear was the constant shouting, cheering, and the sounds of weapons clashing.
"You have no right to do that to them!!!" another voice came from within the arena. From the tone as well as the gentleness that was flowing in the voice, despite it sounding angry, Juin could still tell that this was also a royal. The voice might be gentle, but the confidence in that voice would be hard to replicate in this country where it was ruled by monarchy.
"I wonder what's going on…" he mumbled. He would have flown up to watch from the top, but when they were flying down earlier, he noticed that there was a semi-translucent dome that was covering the top of the arena, which Tucker explained was to prevent people from peeking into the arena as this arena was also used to train high-ranking soldiers who served the royal family.
"They can't afford to have spies looking at their new spells and whatnot now, can they?" Tucker said when Cyrus asked about the semi-translucent dome.
"Hey, Lann!!!"
When Lann turned over, Tucker made a "what's going on" sign while pointing inside.
Seeing this, the two guards at the door stepped closer together and asked Tucker, "Do you know Miss Lann?"
Raising a brow at the two guards who dared to block his way, Tucker pulled his coat tighter and said with his chin high, "I'm Tucker Lee from the Order of Supernatural Beings."
The guards glanced at each other, and one of them said curiously, "We have never seen you around…"
At this point, Lann had already walked out and she smiled at the guards before Tucker could start an argument with them. "Tucker hasn't been here for years, and these are the new members of the Order…" she said before looking at Cyrus and Juin. "Can they come in to take a look while waiting for the king to return from his outing?"
They had already known about this. Because there was an important political marriage that involved two major families within the country, which was happening in the next city, the current king had to attend it.
This had been conveyed to Presley beforehand, so the members of the Order had known about this beforehand.
The guards smiled at her and nodded. "Sure!"
The guards then stepped aside to allow the trio to walk in with Lann. As they walked in, Tucker asked her, "What's happening?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
