Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 2221 - 680: Final Battle Countdown [6]

Princess Melodhra is the top beauty among the young generation of the Seia royal family.

The beauty standards of the Seia mermaids are completely different from those of the secular world. To these masters of the vast oceans, appearance and body shape are not very important, because as long as you are a mermaid, you cannot lack an extraordinarily beautiful appearance; only a mermaid beauty with a naturally perfect tail can deserve the glorious title of "the most beautiful."

Even Avril, once universally acclaimed as the most beautiful in the Seven Seas, had scales on her tail that couldn’t achieve the peak of beauty in terms of lines, overall feel, and glossiness, far less dazzling than Princess Melodhra’s perfect tail.

Not only possessing enviable beauty, but Melodhra is also an exceptional talent among the young generation of Seia mermaids, having been the earliest to awaken racial abilities, especially proficient in Water Element Magic, making her undeniably the foremost expert of the new generation in Seia.

On November 7th, Princess Melodhra, serving in the Second Army Group, suddenly received an urgent conscription order from the Supreme Command.

The Second Army Group is a detached division deploying to the northern regions, having recently cleared out the resistance forces of Aegean around the Huogu Mountains, now advancing deep into the cold northern tundra plains, preparing to purify the remnants of ice and Viking descendants there. The operation tasks are quite demanding.

Princess Melodhra’s father, the Supreme Commander of the Second Army Group, Prince Subisareta of the Coral Top, seemed unwilling to let his daughter report to the Alps Wetland, repeatedly using the three-thousand-li distance between the Second Army Group and the main legion and the princess’s alleged illness as excuses, hesitating to comply with the orders.

Princess Melodhra couldn’t understand why her father was doing this; she was clearly not ill, in the best of health; lately, the Demon Clan had already supported the Sea Clan’s army with a large number of Teleportation Crystals. Although it’s not yet realistic to supply a large batch of troops for leapfrogging warfare, transporting one or two people over long distances is hardly an effort?

On November 11th, Emperor Beckenbauer, after repeatedly issuing orders without success, personally delivered a harshly worded golden command, urging Princess Melodhra to immediately report to the Alps Wetland, stating that any delay would result in being charged with treason.

What would happen if charged with treason?

Even the most foolish of the Sea Clan understood the implications of such a charge.

Prince Subisareta of the Coral Top, although a permanent guardian of Seia’s eastern territorial waters, could not shoulder such a heavy blame.

Before Princess Melodhra’s departure, His Highness specifically took his beloved youngest daughter to a secluded place to give her advice.

"Your uncle the emperor is sending you to your death... my dear Melodhra..." His Highness Subisareta held his dearly beloved and cried like a child who had made a mistake.

"Father, why... why do you say that?" Melodhra was a bit taken aback by her father’s loss of composure. In her memory, Emperor Beckenbauer had always been very fond of her, which could be glimpsed from her current title of princess.

According to custom, a prince’s daughter could only inherit the title of "Lady" unless specially granted by the Sea Emperor. However, she was specially conferred the title of "Princess Mingzhu" by her royal uncle, a rank equal to her duke father.

"How could Uncle, who cares for me so much, suddenly decide to send me to my death?" Melodhra consoled her old father, "Father, did you hear some unfounded rumors?"

"Unfounded rumors?" Hearing his daughter say this, the tearful father felt even more regretful: "My dear... it is my fault... Blame it on the fact... that you are the most outstanding Magic Master among the young generation of the Seia Sea Kingdom!"

Prince Subisareta now indeed regretted it, regretting why he didn’t raise his child to be more ordinary—if Melodhra weren’t so exceptional now, how could she suffer such unwarranted disaster today!

Parents in the world are generally like this, wishing their children can stand out and escape the ordinary life; but when their children indeed become outstanding, and must face the great storms that await a hero, they regret and lament why their dear children can’t be a bit foolish, or safely live through life.

The Mermaid Princess grew more confused the more she listened. Her beauty and wisdom had always been a source of pride for herself, her father, and the entire family. How could it become an unexpected calamity due to being too outstanding?

"Do you know why His Majesty summoned you this time?" Prince Subisareta’s tear-streaked face showed a hint of a grim expression: "Do you know what day it is today? Does Melodhra remember?"

"Today is November 11th, Singles’ Day." The princess, being young, undoubtedly remembered what day it was today.

"Today, November 11th, is Singles’ Day, but what about after? What will Singles’ Day turn into in the future?"

Princess Melodhra suddenly realized.

The matter of Richard the Shaman of Divine Songs of the Bimon Kingdom’s arrival at Heigar has caused a stir across the Aegean Continent for quite some time. Today happens to be the formal day of his initiation into the Holy Mountain. It is said that all the kingdoms of the Aegean Continent have designated November 11th as "Initiation Day," alongside "Yestrale Festival," as one of the two grand universally celebrated national holidays, forever offering prayers and sacrifices.
