Chapter 293 - The Siren Queen’s Demise (2/2)

”If I could have been like your friend over there, such a martyr.” The fish witch pointed her finger towards William from afar. ”I saw his dream when he was under my spell. To think that his dream was also what he was doing in his waking hours, seeing the love of his life happy with someone else. He is someone really admirable. But unfortunately, I was a greedy woman. I want my man all for myself. I only realized just now lookinga t your friend, that I can also be happy seeing him happy with his loved one. I have walked on the wrong path all along.”

I remembered that when I was also under the siren's spell, I was in a dream like world. It was a world were all of what I have wished and yearned for came true

Looking at William, I knew how he felt towards my wife Alicia.

'And I thought he would have a dream where Alicia is his wife.' I thought.

But hearing what this fish witch said, that William's dream is also his reality now, that just means he wishes for Alicia's happiness from the bottom of his heart.

'He really is someone admirable.' I thought. 'If I were not by Alicia's side as her personal knight back then, I think I would have lost her to William.'

Fortunately, I won Alicia's heart by a thread. I am still thankful that I was the one beside Alicia then and even now.

”I guess this is my retribution.” The fish witch coughed up blood once more. ”I just wish that you do not forsake my kind because of my bad decisions. They can live alongside humans like before, it was just my personal grudge that prevented them to.”

”If what you say is true, then I can give them a benefit of a doubt.” I said. ”I am not a heartless king as to convict all of your race as criminals. I will give them a chance, that is if they are willing to live alongside us.”

”So, you are a king. That is good to hear, I will trust your words.” The fish witch said with a content smile. ”As thanks, I will tell you something. Other ancient creatures were able to escape their annihilation centuries ago. They have come into hiding and building up power in the shadows. I warn you, when they have acc.u.mulated enough power, they will wage war against the humans once more and try to reclaim what is rightfully theirs.”

Hearing the fish witch's words sent shivers down my spine. Thinking that ancient creatures such as herself still exists and they pose a threat to us humans living in this continent, a new danger has emerged once more.

”Then I will thank you for the information you have given.” I bowed as thanks.

”I just wish that… he had also forgiven me.” The fish witch said.

The fish witch's body started to disintegrate from foot up. Her body was turning into ashes and is flown by the wind.

'I have never hated you in the first place. It was my fault in being so dense and not see your feelings.' I faint whisper had said. 'If it seemed I have led you on, please forgive me.'

I saw a silhouette of a man with silver hair and eyes standing by the fish witch's side. He had a warm smile on his face.

'I have come to pick you up, Ten-Ten.' The man said with tenderness.

”I have made a huge sin against you and your wife. Please forgive me as well.” The fish witch said tearfully. ”If you still consider me as a friend, then I am willing to come with you.”

'Me and my wife never bore hatred against you.' The man said. 'You will always be an irreplaceable comrade and a good friend to us.'

”Thank you, thank you very much.” The fish witch said with tears.

And before my eyes, what looked like the fish witch's soul separated from her disintegrating body and took the man's hand. The were now getting more transparent and disappearing when the man looked my way.

'We will see each other again in the future.' The man gave me a lighthearted smile. 'But unfortunately, you won't even recognize me once we meet, I guess.'

After those words, they both vanished into thin air. The sun was now just starting to rise from the horizon. The aftermath of the battle last night can bee clearly seen in the clearing.
