Chapter 86: I Want to See You

Richard said, "Carlotta knows a lot indeed. The ancestors of the Titan Merfolk thought the same way and thus renamed their race. Before the renaming, they were called Titan Triggerfish Merfolk."

Carlotta couldn’t help but laugh.

Titan Triggerfish Merfolk? What an odd name!

She wondered if there were still strange-looking Titan Triggerfish Merfolk in the sea and what they looked like before their transformation.

As for why she couldn’t just ask a Titan Triggerfish Merfolk to show her their fish form, it boiled down to the uniqueness of the Merfolk race.

Although they were also considered "orcs," they couldn’t fully transform into fish like their terrestrial counterparts, only adopting half-human, half-fish or fully human forms.

These thoughts lightened Carlotta’s mood significantly when she met Lando and Harold again.

She stood beside the Empress of the Deep Blue Empire with a smile, showcasing the demeanor of a savior before the ministers of the Deep Blue Empire who had come to greet her.

There were also more males than females in the Merfolk Kingdom, and even fewer females among them.

Therefore, all the Merfolk who came to greet Carlotta were males.

As a terrestrial beastman, Carlotta needed to consume a transformation potion to breathe underwater.

This potion allowed terrestrial beastmen to temporarily breathe through their skin, but they needed to replenish it after a certain period.

It was Robert who was responsible for administering the potion to Carlotta.

When they departed, Robert expressed his interest in studying the contagious disease of the Deep Blue Empire and thus gained the opportunity to accompany them to Deep Blue Star.

This was Carlotta’s first time entering the water.

In her previous life, she couldn’t engage in vigorous activities due to a heart condition. Occasionally, when she went to the seaside to enjoy the scenery, her family wouldn’t even let her soak her feet in the sea.

Now, suddenly hearing that she could breathe freely underwater, like a Merfolk, without any equipment, Carlotta found it very fascinating.

"Is this the Female Saint of Nore Planet? Her feet are so white and beautiful. I never thought a orc’s feet could look so good," one Merfolk said.

"Hey, fish, why are you focusing on such a strange thing? The Female Saint’s face and body are also very beautiful, okay?" another replied.

"When will the real welcome ceremony begin? I can’t wait to perform for the Female Saint," a third exclaimed.

Real welcome ceremony?

Carlotta felt puzzled.

She thought that following Lando and Harold, being introduced by them, and entering the sea with the Merfolk’s gaze upon her was the welcome.

But it sounded like the Merfolk had planned something else?

As these thoughts crossed her mind, Carlotta was already fully submerged in the water.

Harold and Lando’s lower halves had transformed into fish tails, and they discarded their upper clothing.

The male Merfolk who had greeted her on land also put away their clothes, confidently displaying their masculine chests.

They all had curly hair of various colors.

Suddenly surrounded by the Merfolk, Carlotta was nervously gripping Richard’s hand when the Merfolk around her suddenly scattered.

Beautiful, glowing little fish of various colors appeared before her, circling around her and Richard along with a Merfolk with silver curly hair.

The little fish emitted gradient lights, creating a dazzling display.

At the same time, an ethereal song suddenly arose.

The Merfolk sang and danced together, performing this song in unison.

Already the most attractive race, the male Merfolk who had appeared before Carlotta with warm smiles and bows had faces so beautiful that it was hard to distinguish their gender.

They were also physically fit.

Under the enchanting song, seeing such a splendid display of male beauty, Carlotta’s eyes were feasting on the sight.

The Merfolk didn’t just sway their bodies with the blue waves; some even dove through coral rings and walked on tightropes.

Carlotta watched intently, her lips always curved into a smile.

Richard’s eyes were filled with doting, and he didn’t disturb Carlotta who was engrossed in the performance.

However, Abyss was clenching his fists, feeling particularly uneasy.

The joy he had experienced yesterday, were these voluptuous males going to enjoy it today too?

The Merfolk race deliberately orchestrated such a welcome ceremony with a clear purpose. Not to mention that the males were getting closer and closer to Carlotta, their gazes becoming increasingly flirtatious.

Just as Abyss was about to step forward, he was blocked by Richard.

Richard had undergone a test for his psychic ability level before. Every time he was close to Carlotta, his mental landscape would heal a bit, and now it had returned to the 2S level.

Plus, ice psychic ability was a variant of water psychic ability, so his perception would become stronger in the water, allowing him to sense Abyss’ movements.

After being blocked by Richard, Abyss was just about to speak when Richard released Carlotta’s hand.

Carlotta was soon led away by a blue-haired Merfolk, swimming forward through a path formed by the little fish and finally sitting with him on a throne made of a giant clam shell.

The throne was carried by other male fish, making Carlotta taller than the other Merfolk.

The Merfolk in front of her had a look of infatuation, crawling under Carlotta to kiss the bare instep of her foot and saying softly, "General Karo of the Deep Blue Kingdom offers the sincerest blessings and hottest love to our Planet Lord. May I know if you are satisfied with Karo and willing to spend a passionate night with him?"

Abyss gritted his teeth and emphasized, "Prince Richard, don’t stop me. That Merfolk wants to be Carlotta’s male spouse!"

Richard’s golden eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Abyss with the contempt innate in nobles.

"So?"

Abyss was startled by Richard’s aura, frowning and daring not to confront him directly, only lowering his gaze to reply, "Do you want Carlotta to have another male spouse?"

Carlotta currently had four male spouses, and he was the least favored one. The love he received was already less than a quarter, and if Carlotta took a few more in the Deep Blue Kingdom, his share would gradually diminish to less than one-fifth, one-sixth...

Abyss didn’t want to become a resentful spouse who guessed every day whether Carlotta would appear at his doorway.

The male spouses in his memory ended up in despair, especially now that he had just had intimate relations with Carlotta.

If Carlotta spent the night with a new partner right away, wouldn’t he become a laughingstock?

Abyss’ excitement was evident to Richard, who lightly warned him, "Have you forgotten what I said to you back then?"

Abyss froze.

That day, Richard specially sought him out for a talk, asking if he was really sure he wanted Carlotta to be his true female master.

If it was sincere, he must submit to Carlotta, tone down his pride, and be the one who would make Carlotta happy.

Sometimes, he even had to abandon his own self.

Even if he had the power to defeat high-level insectoids outside and didn’t put any powerful males in his sight, when he returned to Carlotta’s side, he must still prioritize her happiness and not complain.

Recalling this, Abyss also remembered his response.

No, he didn’t answer directly but asked Richard a question instead.

"During the school open tournament, you were interviewed and said that the female you wanted must be able to fight alongside you and have only you as her male spouse.

"Now Carlotta doesn’t only have you but also has a relationship with your nephew first. Why are you willing to be with her?"

Richard’s response at that time was, "Look at the starnet. When Carlotta is willing to be my partner, do people say she’s lucky or am I lucky?

"Forming a partnership with Carlotta is a blessed thing."

Seeing his silence, Richard added, "It seems you haven’t figured it out yet. It’s okay; you have time to think about it.

"But I don’t recommend having physical relations with Carlotta before you figure it out. Otherwise, even if you want to continue with Carlotta, I will ask her to remove the mark with you."

After saying this, Prince Richard shared some of Carlotta’s habits and preferences with him.

And now, he had already had relations with Carlotta.

Carlotta was obviously happy with those male Merfolk, yet he tried to stop her.

Such behavior had already violated Prince Richard’s taboo.

But...

What would he gain by pampering Carlotta like this? Where was the happiness? He could only foresee endless neglect in the future.

Abyss couldn’t understand.

He lowered his eyes and swam forward silently, but Carlotta’s voice came to his ears, "Sorry, I’m on a mission to your country with my male spouses. Please let my two male spouses stay with me."

The surrounding male merfolk let out an "Oh!" of surprise upon hearing Carlotta’s response.

"Could it be that the Holy Female under husband’s thumb? Our Admiral Karo is so exceptional, a 3S-level male, the most formidable in our merfolk kingdom, yet the Holy Female isn’t even willing to share intimate moments with him," they murmured.

"Forget about being exceptional or not. Haven’t you noticed? Those two males marked by the Holy Female look even more like merfolk than Admiral Karo," one of them pointed out.

As they spoke, the male merfolk cast envious glances at Abyss and Richard.

They automatically stepped aside to make room for the two.

Sitting in the shell bed, Carlotta, who somehow had a beautiful flower wreath on her head without anyone noticing, smiled warmly at both Richard and Abyss.

Abyss, who had been feeling dejected, suddenly felt his heart race.

He seemed to understand what Richard had meant.

As Richard and Abyss approached her, Carlotta’s smile became even sweeter.

She led them to sit on the shell, one on each side, and whispered, "What were you guys talking about just now? Abyss, you’ve been spacing out for a while."

Abyss blushed.

What could he say? That he instinctively saw Carlotta as his female parent and thought she would happily spend many passionate nights with all these beautiful male merfolk here?

After all, it was Carlotta herself who willingly let go of Richard’s hand and left with Admiral Karo.

Wasn’t that implied consent?

Yet, just when he felt disappointed, Carlotta suddenly and firmly chose him and Richard again.
