"Well, I should probably inform you all, Gracie and Nathie, the trident has gone missing." Belle remarked indifferently.

"What? Impossible! This kind of power!" Nathaniel shouted.

"Indeed, his trident has gone missing. You know what this means?" Belle mused, looking at Nathaniel from the side.

"Indeed! Gracie! My dearest! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity! We can work together towards a better life! We can overthrow the bastard and reclaim what's rightfully ours!" Nathaniel shouted, grabbing Gracie's shoulders tightly.

"It...hurts..." Gracie uttered, wincing.

Nathaniel removed his hands,"Sorry, I forget that the power transfer takes a day or so."

"It's okay...Mister Nathan...what do you mean by...we?" Gracie asked, unsure.

"You are of Hydra bloodline and are rightfully royalty! With leader's help, we can reclaim it!" Nathan (I'm shortening it to Nathan cause typing Nathaniel every time is becoming a pain.) said to Gracie, staring her right in the eye.

"Mister Hyde, pardon me but why do you not want the throne? Surely you have aspirations of reclaiming the throne for yourself?" Jamie asked, curious as to why he didn't just go ahead and claim the throne himself.

"Oh! I am old and have just been brought back. I wish to stay in the background, undisturbed. Sometimes, ruling over so many is a pain." He answered without hesitation.

"I see..."

"So what do you say Miss Valencia? Queen of a world or outcast of a village?" Nathan questioned.

"I wish to be a queen!" Gracie shouted,"Ma...If only you could see me! Those villagers! I'll make sure they pay dearly for what you have done!" She thought inwardly.

Belle's POV

Hmph.

Gullible little girl.

To have to deal with these small matters sure is troublesome.

Tsk, if they're going to waste my limited time, I have to at least make it interesting.

Maybe interesting enough for when she comes back.

Telling such idiotic stories to gullible idiots and making them believe in me just because of my title sure is easy.

Well, granted, Poseidon has been amusing.

Maybe they'll prove to be more amusing...

"Rest up, we leave tomorrow." Belle yawned, walking away uninterested in the conversation.

"Well, let's go back to the guest house. Gracie, you can come too." Rica announced.

The rest nodded in silent agreement.

Inside, their emotions were mixed.

They felt excitement.

To overthrow a supposed invincible character?

It would be legendary.

Yet, they were frightened.
