Although they could not pinpoint the mermaid's exact location, the confirmation that mermaids indeed roamed these parts was already fairly good news.
"Very well, then, Miss Vela, I will now fulfill our agreement and kill you," Rose Vesper's eyelids finally drooped, a cold smile forming on her lips.
"Aili, do it!"
The petite girl behind raised her arm, the sharp blade aimed directly at Vela's throat, as if it could ruthlessly pierce the slender neck at any moment.
At that moment, however, a weird smile spread across Vela's face, "But suddenly, I don't feel like dying anymore..."
Blinking her large eyes, after handing over the Authority of Sloth, the impact of the Authority on her didn't seem as strong as before.
The smile on Vela's face became more and more intense.
Heh heh... Hahaha...
So that's how it is.
Above the sea, Vela's weird laughter echoed.
She finally understood; the shackles on herself had at last been broken.
Who would have thought it would be so simple?
