“Hey… who wants to run away? Agares?” I asked persistently, opening my mouth, and biting his ear. Seeing that he still didn’t respond, I increasingly pressed on, while licking and sucking his earlobe, stretching one foot to rub against his scaly membrane. Agares’ swimming speed was obviously slowed down by my teasing, and his neck was stiff. I knew he couldn’t resist my entanglement, so I couldn’t help but feel a little proud, “Confess, Chief, or else you’ll have to face your subjects in that stiff state of yours…”

Suddenly, Agares pulled me off his back and pressed me down onto a nearby rock. He leaned over, punishingly nipping at my ear before trailing his tongue down my neck. I immediately shrank my shoulders, trying to evade his advances, but no matter how I resisted, a few licks along my neck turned my body as soft as mush. Seizing the opportunity, he moved to pull off my “new underwear”. I acted swiftly and grabbed its little tail, but Agares simply yanked it off my thigh, causing it to flap its flat body in annoyance. It desperately squirmed towards my legs, creating a comical showdown in a fierce battle over the underwear.

“Hey, you gave me this little guy yourself! Are you going back on your word? Aren’t you worried about me being naked?”

I watched Agares’ gloomy expression as he “struggled” with the devilfish around my waist, and I burst into laughter at the absurd scene. However, he suddenly tightened his grip around my waist, lifting me high. My abdomen collided with his cheek, and he lowered his head, lips brushing against my “underwear” and sliding up. He raised his eyes, locking onto mine with a wicked grin. A slippery sensation immediately grazed my waist, and in an instant, I saw that mischievous devilfish retreat to my back as if it had become shy due to Agares’ pornographic actions. QPuXMv

“Damn it, even it’s scared of you, you old pervert.” I lowered my head, pressing my nose against his forehead, and whispered in a low voice with soft laughter.

Agares pinched my waist, his webbed claws gently stroked my back, and he stared into my eyes. “I really want to hide you, Desharow…”

“Hide where, in your hair?” I buried my face in his neck, taking a sniff and savouring the intoxicating scent of pheromones. Suddenly, I recalled how he had manipulated individual merfolk through his hair earlier and my thoughts circled back to the mystery of that “escapee”. Perhaps that merfolk was an exception. “Wait a second, don’t think your sweet talk can distract me… I almost forgot, what’s the deal with that ‘non-existent descendant’ that your escapee wants to bring back?”

Agares touched the back of my head, and after a moment of silence, he said, “The one who ran away… was Levjet.”

I was taken aback, and that resentful look suddenly appeared in my mind, and I couldn’t help but slap my brain (Damn it, because I was entangled with Agares, I actually forgot about the existence of my grandpa!). “Why did he want to escape? Is it related to me?”

“Because he might have realised that once you officially return to my side, his existence holds no value.” Agares’ gaze turned sombre. “Fifty years ago, after your death, I spared Levjet’s life. I allowed him to become an emissary once more, to procreate with human females, and repeat the history before your birth, ensuring your development along the original timeline and your smooth rebirth in this era. Desharow, I had long discerned his sinister conspiracy with the human forces, but to prevent him from interfering in your reincarnation, I entered into a contract with him—with your successful return as the condition—to let him continue to live as an elder. But now…”

“Promise me, don’t kill him, Agares.” I shook my head. “No matter what, he’s my grandfather, my closest family. I was brought into this world by him. And regardless of whether you believe it or not…” I shrugged, a touch of disappointment and frustration rising within me, “Honestly, he has treated me well, and has been a good and competent grandfather.”

“No…God, this, this is impossible! Isn’t this incest? He is my grandfather…”

I argued in disbelief, but inside, it felt like a jar of spices had been knocked over, leaving me with complex emotions.

Even though I said that aloud, I was acutely aware that the concept of incest only applied to humans, and it didn’t exist in the world of merfolk. What Agares had stated wasn’t completely unreasonable, but I found it difficult to accept. I leaned more towards the idea that his words were an exaggerated threat. After all, my grandfather had never done anything inappropriate to me. I reassured myself, replaying past memories in my mind. My breathing grew tight as I feared stumbling upon some strange clue, but fortunately, I didn’t find anything. My memories retained his kind demeanour as an elderly man, the knowledge he imparted to me, and the times we spent playing together—these were indelible. Even if Agares tried to replace Levjet’s place in my heart, there would always be a part he couldn’t take away. Vft2D9

“Don’t think about him, Desharow. He’s only following my orders, and he doesn’t dare to do anything to you due to my restrictions.”

Observing my expression, Agares seemed even more infuriated. His voice was lowered, almost as if he were threatening. It made me feel suffocated. Agares seems to not allow other people (fish) to exist in my heart, even if that presence represented emotions completely different from his own. He desired to be both my lover and my unique and unmatched father, grandfather, and closest kin. In my world, he also wanted to be an absolute dictator, and that was precisely what made me uncomfortable. It was as if my thoughts should be dominated by him, just like the subjects manipulated by his hair strands.

“Don’t talk as if you know and control everything, Chief. Who can guarantee that merfolk turning into humans won’t develop familial bonds? It’s a beautiful instinct! Besides, I’m not as attractive as you seem to think. There are plenty of boys more appealing to mermaids than me. According to your logic, why didn’t Levjet target his own son, but set his sights on his grandson? Ah, well, the waiting time for that is just too long!” I retorted instinctively, but my nerves jumped at the realisation of what I had just said.

I recalled the appearance of my parents in this timeline. They were both fair-haired, blue-eyed British people, while I had a head of black hair, just like my grandfather, and my features resembled his, but not my parents. ZNYwQB

So, where are my real parents? Are they already dead? Or do they simply not exist? Could it be that I am Levjet’s…

Agares observed my expression, and his face was clouded. “Don’t think about him, Desharow!”

I was startled by his sudden low growl. His webbed fingers clasped my head, and his lips pressed forcefully against mine. His fangs bit my tongue, and his thick fishtail pressed hard between my legs, as if he wanted to split me open alive.

I was stunned for a moment, then immediately not to be outdone bit his lips and tongue, using my fists to pound on his chest which was as hard as a rock. But Agares was too strong, and resisting his punishment with my fourteen-year-old strength was simply a fantasy story. Soon, his wolfish kiss left me feeling completely weak. He grabbed my ankles and lifted my body, setting my buttocks in his claws. The mischievous devil fish around my waist seemed to be frightened by him, obediently curling up on my back, exposing my buttocks to Agares. I quickly used both hands to cover myself, glaring at him angrily. Yy3CN5

If I hadn’t merged with my future self, I probably would have been scared to tears by him. Fortunately, the present me had already experienced his frightening temper, and I was not afraid of him at all (damn it, of course, this was a lie).

“Damn it, you bastard, you demon!” I yelled at him hoarsely.

Agares grabbed my wrist, pulling my hand away from my attempt to cover myself. Instantly, I had an unobstructed view of my own buttocks covered in red marks,（……） It was even more red and swollen than I could have imagined, looking incredibly alluring. He stared fixedly at the area as if a ruthless ruler admiring the city he was about to conquer. My face flushed instantly, and in despair, I closed my eyes, lying back on the rock. I covered my burning cheeks with the back of my hand, awaiting the invasion that might come in the next moment.

This was almost self-inflicted. My persistence and reservations always seemed to trigger an even stronger desire to conquer in Agares. There had never been true equality between us, not fifty years ago, and certainly not fifty years later. Or perhaps, having lost me once before, his possessiveness over me had become even more relentless. So relentless that it extended not only to killing Levjet, who managed to survive by forming a contract with him, but also erasing any “distracting thoughts” in my heart that didn’t revolve around him.

Damn it.

I bit my lip, a metallic taste of blood filling my mouth, yet I couldn’t feel any pain.

Suddenly, my legs were released, and he pulled me back into his embrace. I felt his large webbed fingers soothingly caress my back, without further advances. Surprised, I opened my eyes and met his gaze as he looked down at me. His eyelids were lowered, and he extended his tongue to lick the blood from my bitten lip. The anger in his expression gradually subsided, “Did I hurt you earlier?”

“Damn it, that’s bullshit, with you being so…” I glanced down at his lower region and glared at him. CbayqU

Agares’ fishtail supported my back, and his breath against my face seemed to tremble slightly. “I endured it for fifty years, Desharow… Do you think I’m all-powerful, omnipotent?” His webbed fingers caressed my cheek, his knuckles grazing my chin. “But I can’t shorten time, I can only wait day by day as five decades flow through my life, relying on sipping the memories from your life core to ease the pain, like a desperate thirst.”

I gazed at him, his low voice made my nerves tremble like playing a cello. My fingers touched his cheek, involuntarily sinking into his hair. I realised that I couldn’t truly empathise with Agares’ emotions, I couldn’t fathom what it felt like to go through the long span of fifty years–– nearly twenty thousand days and nights–– because I hadn’t lived through that period. Seeing Agares again felt as though I had merely slept for a while and then awakened from a short dream, as if we had been apart for only a brief moment.

And yet Agares remained clear-headed, truly enduring the fifty years of our separation on his side.

“I’m sorry… Agares. I’m really sorry for leaving for so long.” I sighed. My heart clenched suddenly, urging me to hold onto his neck. Almost instinctively, I licked that sashimi that peeked out from his hair, swallowing down the questions about Levjet. I whispered softly, almost coaxing, “I won’t bring him up anymore, okay? You’re the closest and dearest to me, not… that fish.” lZDJGv

I immediately noticed Agares’ pointed ears twitching a few times, almost like a contented dog being teased, and he hummed twice in satisfaction. Striking while the iron is hot, I licked his cheek, finally feeling his tense muscles relaxing, as if he had calmed down.

“Hey, shouldn’t we go out now? You mentioned earlier that your subjects can’t choose their spouses until you give the order. I imagine they must be quite anxious by now?” I cautiously inquired this irascible big fish.

The irritable giant fish tilted its head and glanced towards the entrance of the “tunnel.” It then adjusted the devilfish, which was trembling against my back, and pulled it down to my waist before swimming out with me on its back. As we emerged from the tunnel, a group of mermaids with blue tails approached us. They seemed to be Agares’ close attendants, forming two lines that followed behind us in an orderly fashion. Then, as we passed another cave, a group of mermaids with green tails emerged from within. They lined up behind the blue-tailed mermaids, and at the end of the procession were the red-tailed mermaids, known for being the most frequently witnessed by humans throughout history.

I suddenly understood that the colour of the mermaids’ tails represented their status within the clan. Agares’ black tail symbolised his supreme royal status. The purple and silver tails, being born from the same brood, had the potential to challenge the throne, placing them just below the black-tailed mermaids. Following them were the blue and green tails, and the lowest status was held by those with dark red tails. At the same time, I noticed that the length of the tail was determined by this “colour class”. The higher the status, the longer the tail, and it seemed that strength might also be determined by this factor. Ix54OJ

I pondered while looking at the mermaids surrounding me, and I couldn’t help but feel an inexplicable sense of superiority. Perhaps this was because any man would enjoy the pleasure that power brought. Despite knowing that this was like a fox exploiting the tiger’s might, they were not supporting me but Agares.

I didn’t know when I would transform back into my mermaid form, but the signs of the transformation should appear on my body soon. I didn’t want to remain weak; I wanted to become strong so that I could defend Agares and myself in this impending war and not become his weakness.

Unbeknownst, we had already swum through several large and small interconnected caves, seemingly traversing a long underground river. I would bet that we were quite a distance away from the strait’s entrance by now, making it unlikely for the warships to find our whereabouts even if they were to launch an attack.

Gradually, as more and more merpeople gathered around us, a faint blue light appeared at the end of the underground river, and the front became lively. The chorus of calls, rising and falling, and intertwining with varying pitches, seemed to form a welcoming anthem for the king. It began with deep, resonant harmonies, and then gradually the dominant melody emerged. Several sequences of high, sustained calls soared loudly, as if shooting towards the sky, yet their echoes were contained by the surrounding cave walls, creating ripples of sound akin to the crashing of waves. The deep bass tones followed, as if the ocean was roaring in the midst of a violent storm, conjuring images in my mind of merpeople leaping through stormy waves during an approaching tsunami. J6Mwkn

The sound grew closer, a deafening roar that pierced the ears. Suddenly, Agares accelerated through the water, heading towards the source of the light. In an instant, the view before me opened up, revealing a massive cave. At the heart of the cave was a large stone pool that resembled an altar, and the source of the glowing light emanated from within the pool—an enormous blue sphere spanning nearly 100 square metres. Electric tendrils of light floated around it, resembling the darkness of the cave of celestial bodies in the vast universe.

I had no idea what that thing was, looking at it with a mix of astonishment and curiosity. However, Agares led me straight towards it. We came to a stop near the glowing sphere, and all the merfolk formed a circle around us in an instant, and their singing became low, as if they were waiting for something.

Before I could react, I heard Agares let out a deafening thunderous roar. He put his arms around my waist, and lifted me high into the air.

In an instant, a swarm of luminescent fish appeared seemingly out of nowhere, circling me at lightning speed as if they were birds in flight. Simultaneously, the merfolk surrounding us began leaping into the air, creating a dazzling display of water splashes. Each one followed the other in a spiral dance, their tails swaying and shimmering against the dark backdrop. The glistening scales resembled scattered stars, woven together by the robust and vigorous male bodies, forming a bright river of stars. 4IOYpx

I stared dazedly at the shocking scene around me. Almost involuntarily, I spread my arms wide, as if wanting to embrace the new world that Agares had introduced me to. However, I heard a soft call coming from below me.

“Desharow……”

I lowered my head, looking into those narrow eyes that were now sparkling like stars. A smile naturally formed on my lips, and I leaned down to press a kiss on his forehead, instead of the embrace I had intended to offer the air, pouring all the love I had into it, as if trying to give him every ounce of affection I could muster.
