Chapter 77: Market Competitors
Astri watches the famous mermen in front of them. They’re beautiful like the tales, and she’s envying their waved hairs that look beautiful without even wanting to be beautiful. Also, she thinks their clothes are beautiful too.
Koa looks at Astri and smiles.
"You’re very beautiful for a land female. Admiring my beauty too?" Koa asks.
She rolls her eyes and even laughs internally.
"Nice meeting you, Leader Koa. Excuse me." She says turning around and walking away, letting her spouses and Beau take the lead.
Koa got confused because she didn’t say he was beautiful or pleaded to be his spouse. Lee now can see how ridiculous he was in the beginning at first by watching Koa’s reaction, and also how lucky he was that Astri accepted him.
"I found it strange seeing the royal boats here and I cannot find the Queen or Kings of Aquaterra anywhere around." Koa says, but still looking at Astri from a distance.
"We came to take a..special guest." Beau answers.
"With two royal boats? For one guest. Are you bringing the King of Beasts?" Koa asks, now aiming his eyes at Beau and the others around. "Who are you all?"
They can’t lie, it would have worse consequences, so they present themselves. Of course, hiding the fact Claud is the Higher Priest. Beau found strange the fact they didn’t present Astri.
"So... Leader Lee, the one who owns the salt market around here. I came here to check how you’re making the salt, but I only saw walls inside the place where your beastmen are making salt." Koa inquiries, eying Lee differently now.
