COREY'S POV:-
Avoiding those higher nobles, I kept running towards the palace. I kept avoiding all the congested roads as I ran towards the palace, while also keeping a check on Alina, who was sleeping inside my dimensional space.
Her mother, Olive, was already dead and the only lead I have was either those higher nobles or the Mermaid Queen. Having only these two choices with me, I decided to directly confront the main person in question rather than going in circles.
'I wonder if I am poking my nose into something I shouldn't…. ' I think as I look at the castle, barely visible from where I was standing…
My eyes look at those blue swirling water rings that spread across Atlanto with the castle at its centre. They are supposed to be the runes of protection, aren't they?
I then increase my speed and change my mana and body nature into that of pure water as I start flowing in the ground… literally.
