Meet Him Again

XI

Cale pouted when Ronan told him he would go back to the sea.

Ronan simply smiled at him, patted his head, and promised to come back again. Eruhaben, the two whales, and the creatures who followed Ronan all left with him.

He let out a sigh as he stared into space. He felt Ron's pat on his shoulder and said, "He will come back again."

He smiled as he touched the black pearls on his ears. They will almost certainly meet again. Ronan has never broken his promises.

"I should study more and become a sailor," he exclaimed happily, and his journey to become a galleon merchant began.

"Ugh. There is no dust in here, but barnacles are difficult to clean!" Ronan exclaims, staring at the chilling dragon. They are back at his Sea Palace, cleaning it up and making it livable like other underwater villages.

[You can imagine Ryuugu Palace as a one piece. Like that, but his palace looks more like Atlantis.]

His magic created a giant air bubble that spanned five hundred miles. His old weedy trident was displayed right at the heart of the throne room.

The massive Kraken that lived on the other side of the sea mountain also came to help with the cleanup. Not to mention the gigantic sea turtle and the sea serpent. They assisted in cleaning his palace and sought refuge near the sea palace.

The underwater Sea Palace was quickly cleaned and restocked with sea creatures and animals.

The whales also came to help him clean up, but there is one thing he does not have to clean. Even after three thousand years, his sea library remained clean. It was the only room in the sea palace that was not flooded with seawater, and even if he opened the door, a strong barrier kept water out.

Looking at how his palace had changed, the creatures began to settle in, and servants arrived as if nothing had happened.

"But why are frogs here? Are not you freshwater creatures?" he asked. He had never seen a frog walk on two legs and act like the palace's chief butler. Not only that, but freshwater beast people visited him as well. They were accompanied by the Koi Beast people. Mermaids with white auras were also seen as servants in his palace.

"I can now enjoy my retirement."

Eruhaben frowned and released all of the light he had created with magic. The dark Sea Palace was quickly flooded with light.

"Ahhh. I miss my little red!" he exclaimed, flicking the black egg off the sea shell bed. He sat bored on his throne, flicking his tail.

The black palace was the color of the deep ocean, with silver accents. It was an incredibly beautiful palace.

However...

A redheaded boy stood in front of him. He shared Cale's reddish brown eyes and red hair, but not his face.

It was the same expression he had when he was still Kim Roksu.

"I suppose the mermaids have finally decided to betray me?" he snarks.

The mermaids shivered as soon as they heard the song of death. The rumbling sound echoed and startled the giant sea beast that guards the palace. Ronan looked down and smiled at the redhead, who was also smiling at him.

"Greetings to the mighty owner of the great oceans and seven seas; my name is White Star, and I will soon be king of the world."

Ronan did not like the brat's tone. He found it amusing that he had come here to greet him. The Emperor of the Sea is a creature who can overpower anyone. Ronan has yet to see the full extent of this body's power, but he can confidently predict that this redhead will be no match for him.
