AQUARIA

Chapter 2: Hidden

Queen Alala sailed to the deepest part of the ocean to seek refuge. Everyone who attempted to enter that location had not yet departed, so I went there right away out of worry for her and found no one else there either.

What she had done to a gigantic shrimp caught my attention right away as soon as I approached the vicinity. There can be no doubt that she is, in fact, the ocean's reigning monarch.

"Dear Queen!" I shouted towards her. When I saw her, I burst into tears. Her attention was instantly drawn to me, and she made her way straight over to where I was staying.

"What exactly are you doing here?" she inquired. What does she think of me? A rebellious soldier? That will simply be going to let the Queen go to a very sensitive area because I am feeling cowardly?

"It is the king's mandate that I keep constant watch over you at all times," I said to the Queen as I informed her.

The Queen only turned her back on me for a split second before speaking. "You are under no need to do so, Crypt."

"After all, I'm sure you're upset with me for murdering the person you care about the most," she continued before turning to face me. I'm not sure why I get the impression that the Dear Queen is bearing a great deal of responsibility.

"Don't be concerned; I'm capable of handling myself." Then she looked at me and started swimming in the deeper section of the water with a grin on her face.

While preparing to follow the Queen, I was unexpectedly halted by a massive squid, which forced me to swim away from the location instantly. I swam directly to the location where the King was. No one else is capable of assisting the Queen in her endeavors but the King of Aquaria.

"What exactly is the problem? What brought you here, and why did you come? "He had approached me and asked me a questions. I went up to him in particular and sat down with him to tell what the Queen had done.

"There is a threat to the beloved Queen in that location." When I told the King what I was about to say, he just chuckled.

"She isn't going to be the Queen just because she wants to be. Allow her to be. The best course of action is to inform the majority of people about my return and to inform everyone about it. "He mentioned to me.

‘What type of a king do you think you are? Why? When your Queen is alive and in danger, how can you say anything like that?’ I just questioned him in my mind.

"Dearly beloved king." I bring up his place of business.

"Aren't you going to do something to help the Queen?" I asked him.

"No. She is the Queen, and she is well aware of her responsibilities in her actions. If she ever manages to take out that creature, it will be her responsibility." He remarked this before getting up from his seat.

"She was not made Queen in order to be Stupid," the statement of the King.

"However, Dear King," I beg him to listen to me but no wonder they don’t have a mutual understanding. They don’t want each other to grow.

"I'm not going to put myself in danger simply because she did something stupid like that. If you want to follow her, go ahead and do so, but make sure you understand what you will get in return for doing so." . In addition, the King said. I caught it harvesting before it swam away from me.

Now I see why Dear Queen Alala continues to act in the same manner.

'Crypt, you won't dare to assist the Queen,' I thought to myself. I really gasped when I asked myself that question. What a pity. I am so weak to do that. The King was absolutely correct. One should refrain from harming oneself only because the Queen is still alive. I couldn't help but grin when I made that choice. Perhaps it is all I can do to help the Queen.

While all was going on, Queen Alala remained firm in her intention to go to the bottom of the ocean's deepest recesses. No matter what happens, the organization maintains its composure and sticks by its choice.

While swimming, she heard the words "Remember me..." As a result, she cracked a grin. There is nothing faded in her mind's eye yet, she believes. This is true regardless of the terror that a creature experiencing its first encounter with that location is likely to experience. After reaching the far end of the nook corner of the water, she instantly welcomed a youngster who had been waiting for her.

Queen Alala’s POV

"Lehart," I said towards him. It had been a long time since I had been unable to visit this location due to the throne I was now seated on. I truly don't want to be the Queen of Aquaria, and if it weren't for my twin, I wouldn't be putting myself through this ordeal at all.

"Aria, why did it take you so long to come back here to see me again?" He came up to me right away and asked me a question. It welcomed me with a kind grin that made me smile as well. I swam up to him and wrapped my arms around him securely.

"Please accept my apologies. I'm simply juggling a lot of responsibilities in the Kingdom." I informed him.

"I'm aware of the situation. I'm also aware that you won't be able to abandon me, Princess Aria. You really care about me, don't you?" He mumbled something to me and then wrapped his arms around me firmly.

"I'm sorry, Lehart, but I know you know that I'm not going to abandon you, didn’t you?" I said to him.

He smirked as he drew himself farther away from me.

"Aria is someone I am quite familiar with. I'm pretty familiar with it "He grinned once again.

“In the meanwhile, have you worked out where Alala is?" I ask about the news about my sister since she was missing for a long time.

"Not at this time. However, I have a sneaking hunch that she traveled to Octina “he said.

'What makes my sister want to just go with that squid?' I pondered the question to myself.

Varun had no idea what he had done, and he was frantic to get to that squid.

"Are you okay, my love?" Lehart had approached me with the question. I merely smiled and nodded at him.

"I implore you, my darling if you could please expedite the hunt for the lost Queen on my behalf. I truly don't want to sit on her Throne, and I especially don't want to enforce the things that are described in her book. I feel pity to those who are wasting their life under the surface of the water." I informed him.

“The lovely Queen's choice to depart, as indicated in the book before she vanished, was her decision and we have no power to intervene in that matter." He just said.

"If I can only speak to her, I think we can come up with something, and it might be a good result," I informed him. She’s my sister, I know she can adjust once I do a suggestion like that.

He wrapped his arms around me and spoke in hushed tones to me.

“Do not worry, I will do all in my power to locate her, my love." He said. I clenched my grasp on him even more. After a few moments, I was able to let go of his embrace. Before saying farewell, I cracked a grin.

"I wish you could stay with me for a longer period of time, but I have to continue to fulfill my function as my twin in Aquaria. Always look out for danger, my darling." I said towards Lehart.

"Also be cautious, Princess." the response he said. After that, I prior myself into swimming out of the dark realm and into the kingdom, where everyone was looking forward to my inevitable demise, I just cracked a grin for that.
