Chapter 575: Problems Within the Merfolk
"After four years of searching... I finally found you... sob sob..."
The moment Melody boarded the ship, she hugged Loren and started crying without another word, pressing her entire body against him.
"Let's change into some dry clothes first, then we can talk, alright?"
Loren awkwardly pushed Melody away and asked Veronica to grab her some clothes.
Veronica's clothes were a bit big, hanging extremely loose on Melody's frame, but that wasn't something to worry about right now.
"Where's your crown? What happened to it?"
"Earlier, I bet everything on you. When word spread that you'd been killed by the Orthodox Gods, they stripped me of my princess title..."
"Luckily, the pendant was left to me. No matter who wears the pendant, the first guidance they receive tells them to return the pendant to me.
"The merfolk believe in the Perpetual Observer, and the pendant is our only way to receive the Observer's revelations. So no matter what, they have to follow the pendant's guidance."
