Chapter 444 Kill Me
"Welcome back, my queen!" All the sirens who had lined up bowed respectfully as they welcomed her with full vigor.
Seraphina was a bit surprised she could hear what they were saying despite not being a siren but knew it was because of the bubble surrounding her that allowed her to listen and even talk if she wanted to.
And before she knew it, the bubble around her transformed into a layer of water that covered her and Viktor as they landed in the front yard of the azure palace.
Seraphina was still holding Viktor in her arms, but she didn't even have to exert herself, and it seemed the water around her was helping her hold him.
She could even walk without much difficulty, though her walking style seemed a bit awkward since she was not used to walking in such an environment.

She subtly looked at them and saw these sirens looking at her with strange expressions as if they were having a hard time deciding if they could trust her or not.
A very few of them even had wary, hostile expressions, subtly baring their sharp fangs at her, especially when they saw Viktor in their arms, making Seraphina tighten her hold on Viktor.
They seemed even warier of Viktor than her, despite his sick condition.
However, she did see most of the sirens smiling and even respectfully greeting her as if they knew who she really was. She wondered if Yanah had told them about what happened during the ball.
All of them were in their true forms, though Seraphina knew that mermaids and sirens best navigate through water in their true forms.
But suddenly, one of the sirens wearing blue armor rushed down towards Yanah before shooting a suspicious glance at Seraphina.
"My queen, forgive me if I am being disrespectful but is it really wise to bring in two strangers to our home? I can still understand if it was only her but that man...even if he seems sick, he could be dangerous. After all, he survived, despite going against someone like Mevron. Nobody who truly angered Mevron had ever survived," She said with a worried look.
Yanah shook her head as she put her arm around her neck and said casually, "Olena, you worry too much. Mevron is nothing. I would have taken him down with my eyes closed if only he didn't have the land and aerial advantage."
Olena subtly cleared her throat while trying to keep her expression straight.
"But regarding those two...I trust Sera, I mean the Fairy Queen. She might be like a stranger to us but trust me when I tell you that fairies are the ones who would never do something dubious like tricking or betraying you, especially the Fairy Queen. Her odic aura screams purity if you didn't notice. They also saved two of our sisters not too long ago. And since she seems to trust and even care so much about that vampire, I suppose we can trust him too. If it makes you feel any relief, I did converse with him before, and even if he is kind of cocky, arrogant, and too dumb to go against Mevron alone while foiling my plans, he can be trusted. He could have exposed me to make his job easier, but he didn't. Wait...why are you even worried about someone who is already near death's door?"
"Uhm..." Olena's expression became slightly awkward as she averted her gaze.
"Ughh, just make sure that nobody mistreats my guests. The Fairy Queen put herself at risk to help me out even if she didn't have to. Lead her to the best room we have, and I will shortly be there," Saying so, Yanah suddenly sped off in a different direction while Olena floated back with a respectful bow and said, "Please follow me, Fairy Queen. I will show you the room where you can rest."
"Thank you so much for helping us," Seraphina gave a bow as well, feeling very grateful since she couldn't imagine how bad their fate might have been if not for these sirens helping them at the right time.

In fact, our queen herself prohibits anyone, not of our race from entering our adobe. But since she let you and even him into our home, she must really trust you," Olena said while stealing a glance at a pale-faced Azu, who was still grimacing in pain while his body still continued to quiver.
She already had to take some time to process Yanah's surprising decision about taking strangers in but what she found even more astonishing was the relationship between the Fairy Queen and this vampire whom she couldn't recognize.
As far as she knew, weren't the fairies of the Sacred Spirit Realm living an isolated life while not allowing any outsiders into their sacred home? What brought these two together?
Soon enough, Olena led Seraphina into a large room with dark blue interiors with sophisticated interiors and furniture. If Viktor was in the right mind to appreciate his surroundings, he would be quite astonished that these man-eating beauties had quite the taste for these kinds of things.
"Our queen will soon be here, but I will be right outside just in case you need me," Olena said as she bowed and swam out of the door.
"Azu..." Seraphina quickly focused all her attention on Viktor, and fortunately, her odic force began to flow through her body like usual.
She immediately let her pure odic force pass through Viktor's body and even reached the deepest part of his soul to help him feel better.
Viktor, who had been drowning in indescribable pain, suddenly felt a balming sensation even though it only eased a fraction of the pain he was feeling. Still, he somehow found the strength to open his eyes weakly as he grabbed Seraphina's hand and said feebly, "Kill...Kill me..."
