The Queen looked at me for a moment before turning her attention toward her daughter.
Serune seemed to have softened her attitude toward me considerably, especially considering that if I had come here without her, I had a feeling I would have been thrown out before I even got the chance to explain myself.
Actually, I was fairly certain I would have been lucky if I had even reached this far.
It was definitely a good thing that I came here together with Serune.
"Follow me," the Queen said.
The mermaids surrounding her immediately lowered their weapons, although they did not lower their guard in the slightest.
Their tridents were no longer pointed directly at me, but they remained close enough to their bodies that they could raise them again almost instantly.
It seemed that, as far as they were concerned, I was still a potential threat.
They were simply choosing not to attack me yet.
That was perfectly understandable.
