Blood Type: Dragon

It was Princess Diana and her pet.

The dolphin who looked extrordinarily big has is extremely gentle and elegant as it allowed Diana to swim and across its ma.s.sive body playfully. The sound of her cute giggles could be heard from time to time as they echoed across the golden halls of the gigantic s.h.i.+ning castle. 

Tough looking merman guards in golden armor could be seen on every corner, holding a spear and a s.h.i.+eld as they stood composed. 

On the windows, one could see the beautiful and colorful view of the water Elemental Kingdom. The weird-looking coral houses and various water elemental species peacefully minding their own lives created quite a stark contrast from the previous chaotic scene of the last battle.

Bustling merfolks and sea creatures of different sizes and colors filled the entire land from all angles.

Giant whales and glowing stones and sh.e.l.ls have also made the entire kingdom looked like a children"s fairytale setting.

Overall, the water realm is now back to its previous peak!

"Did the Lord told you where he has gone to this time, sister Donna?" After feeling a little tired and settling down, inside a big empty golden scallop with red, soft, and fluffy beddings for the princess to sit comfortably.

Donna, who happens to be sleeping idly on the opposite golden scallop, moved her tail and elegantly flipped her body to sit on the edge of the comfortable-looking scallop bed. Her sudden movements did not escape the attention of her pet below which is a golden dolphin.

"I do not really know. The Lord Dash just said that the Great Seer Mhata asked for his presence. He should probably come back in the next few hours."

The golden dolphin, which happens to still retain some of the battle scars from the last battle in the water Elemental Real, finally rose up from the smooth marble floors and landed on Donna"s red scally lap - it was asking for some head rub.

Donna saw the faint scars on its head and gently ma.s.saged them slowly. The Dolphin made some satisfying squicky sounds as it calmed down. Looking at those scars, Donna could recall those moments that they were just steps closer on touching the water of death.

The image of the Unholy Lord from the dark grounds of the south was her most terrifying experience. She was in search of Elric during that time when she accidentally ventured on the dangerous areas of the water realm. It was there where she and her pet"s bond were greatly tested.

To make the story short for her, it was Elric who have found her instead.

Though it was one of the most dangerous and hardest moments of their lives, it made their bond extremely stronger and more meaningful.

Danna, the eldest mermaid princess among the three is currently immersed in reading a certain book written in their own ancient language. Her teacup-sized white jellyfish pet is roaming freely not far from her, seemingly drifting in its own momentum.

The three pets of the mermaid princesses were more than just pets for them. After the life and death battle on the last tragedy on the Water Elemental realm, they have grown to give more value to the pets their father has entrusted them. Without the whale, the dolphin and the little jellyfish, who knows if the princesses could still be alive until this day.

For the three beautiful ladies, they are now more like a family.

Then Diana, with a bright sparkle in her eyes and a cheeky smile suddenly jumped from her own bed to her sister Donna"s back.

"Tell me, do you think that Elric human dragon is gonna come back? What if the Lord Dash is just fetching him and they would suddenly surprise us?" 

Hearing her little sister"s question, Donna could not help but recall her unforgettable scene with Elric. Specifically, that moment when Elric unleashed a brilliantly long flame sword and cut the Coral Mountain Giant in half. Also, that moment when Elric unleashed his flaming spear and obliterated his enemies with every single throw.

She could not help but blush as she recalls those bulging muscles of the young man, paired with its domineering power and aura. The only human who possessed Dragon and Elemental powers and the one who liberated the entire water realm from the greedy hands of the past Lord Aghus.

Elric is unofficially the hero of the water realm, but because of the bad image of the humans and the damage he has brought with him, the merfolks was still finding it hard to really appreciate the human"s effort even though he managed to the saved majority of the lost lives with a healing wave.

Unfortunately for Elric, the bad memories of knocking on the door of death and seeing your loved ones and property collapse to vain has overshadowed his effort to save them. Even though the destruction was not his intention but of the last Lord Aghus.

She also could not forget the times when she was prejudicing the young man for being a human and weak, only to be saved by the latter in the next few hours from the power-hungry hands of the mutant Unholy Lord.

Recalling those memories, Donna"s face has gone from pearly white to royal red due to her embarra.s.sment.

Nevertheless, seeing Elric again for the second time should not be a bad idea. 

Now seeing her elder sister"s tomato-like complexion, Diana gave her a cheeky gaze as she moved her face closer and whispered,

"You have a crush on that human don"t you?" 

"What are you talking about? Why should I?" Like a snapped wired, Donna reacted with a rather more panicked voice.

"He may have Dragon and Elemental powers and good body but he still is a human! You must be overthinking! Me? Liking that beast? Not a chance at all!"

Diana on the other hand replied with a wide mocking smile as her hand covered her mouth, trying her best not to laugh. After all, Donna has the most quick-tempered among them three.

"Hah! Well in that case, since you already said that, then if he will ever come back, I might have to ask him to marry me right away! After all, he is a hero!" Diana energetically replied with pure innocence.

Taken aback by her wild and honest youngest sister, Donna recomposed herself and smiled confidently, "Haha! How are you gonna marry that man with your pet.i.te body? Not to mention you are still young! If there is someone who should marry that man then... it could only be Danna!" 

"I may be small but I am already two hundred years old!"

"Unfortunately for you young mermaid princess, it takes a full three hundred years for us to reach full maturity! You are still a hundred years to go before dreaming that big! Hahaha!"

"You..."

Hearing the two sisters bickering, Danna who has been reading silently atop her own comfortable clam-bed blushed.

She may be the toughest and the most serious of the three, however, she is a kind of mermaid who would easily feel shy from such indirect compliments. Tough from the outside but incredibly soft inside.

Deep inside, Danna too could not help but recall Elric"s jaw-dropping performance and power. And for her to end up marrying that man...

Unknowingly, Danna has raised her book to hide her blus.h.i.+ng face while the two from the other side continued their own childish mockery.

Right on this moment, a royal merman soldier atop a three-meter whale shark has suddenly barged in with a hurried face. His usual light blue face has gone to pale white and a trace of horror still reflected in its eyes.

The shark on the other hand has suddenly collapsed from too much exhaustion. 

"Princess! Forgive me, for with me is bad news from the Outer Water!"

The outer water that the soldier mentioned, is the dark blue water that can be seen from the outside of the planet. As recalled, the Water Elemental Realm is like a different water world hidden inside the water Elemental Planet and can only be accessed via tunnel guarded by the gigantic Eels.

Seeing the soldier bowing down with such expression while gasping for air, Danna swiftly recovered from her blus.h.i.+ng and rose highly just meters before the golden throne where Dash is supposed to be situated.

As the eldest of the three remaining Royal princesses and the longest one to endure the Holy Providence aside from Dash, the authority of the next Lords.h.i.+p is obviously long decided on Danna"s hand. 

Not to mention, Danna has the perfect att.i.tude and foundation suitable to become the next Lord of the Water Elemental Realm.

With a commanding yet feminine voice, Danna replied to the merman soldier,

"Speak, what is it for you to look like you have seen a ghost."

Trying his best to calm himself, the merman soldier gulped a mouthful of saliva before raising his head with a fearful gaze.

"It is those Thagdas! Those dark creatures are back!"
