Chapter 73

Even if its the latter, nothing will happen.

Aria didnt worry at all. Because it was Valentine.

Rather, she had to worry about the distributors, whose soul Lloyd would rip out with his hands.

And if the price of diamont goes up, theyll get some resentment, but its a matter of finding the cause and dealing with it quickly.

It would be nothing.

Aria ignored it.

Anyway, more important than that matter.

Aria looked into Lloyds eyes as if to confirm again. In fact, she was staring at him for some other reason.

Its still black.

Aria was relieved. Today, too.

Fortunately, the jet-black eyes had not yet faded to gray.

Things arent going to get any better.

Still, Grand Duke Valentine was losing his malice, and Lloyd was inheriting his malice. She could not find a way to purify the devils malice.

It was just the Sirens song and Gabriels divine power to prevent malice from corrupting.

I kept trying, but the devils malice could not be purified by the Sirens song.

The past days when she was motivated to do it right away were overshadowed.

Not yet.

But it was obviously not that there was no way at all. Because her healing song worked well for Sabina, who was about to die of malice.

The question was, how to find a way.

If there is no information, there is too little.

Aria didnt know very intimately about her own race, the Siren, in fact. All she knew was the rumors she had only heard from the nobles and information from Count Cortez.

Besides, obviously, I was known as the only surviving Siren.

She couldnt even get information from the same Siren.

If Sophia had been alive, she might have told her many things, but she was already dead by the time Aria returned.

I even mobilized Vincent to investigate in every way, but to no avail.

It was just nonsense information that Aria already knew or didnt know.

It cant be like this.

Time flew by, and the year of Valentines Incident was approaching.

What will happen this winter? It is at most several months ahead.

Perhaps.

Aria trailed off.

Are there any Sirens still alive?

Well. They have lived in hiding from generation to generation, so its hard to know.

What if Sophia was only lucky enough to be caught, and a horde of Sirens were still living away from the world.

I might be able to get the information.

If she is lucky, shell get help. Aria almost had a little bit of hope. But it was so unlikely that she soon regained her composure.

She wants to seize even the slightest possibility.

I can look it up if you want.

Then Lloyd pulled out a piece of paper from among the graves of documents and held it out.

Without even rummaging.

I thought it was just a pile of papers, but did you remember exactly where it was?

Aria lowered her gaze with a slightly tired face.

Upon closer inspection, it was a list of new route development projects. It was also so risky that there were only things that no one would invest in. So, to put it bluntly, they will sink as soon as they set sail.

I think its a scammer

Even the names of the families were unknown.

At least they had the will to set sail.

Really? Have they read any exploration novels?

Aria looked through the list in the paper without any expectations.

Wow, some wanted to sail to Navron Sea. I was told that there was not a single ship here that returned safely.

They were adventurous and have plans and were almost suicidal. If one is bored, but full of money and wants to scatter money in the air, its the perfect investment.

Even if they have a will to go, I think they will get the money and run a boat and run away. Why was this in the approved documents?

It was so stupid Its strange that Dwayne didnt take it out first.

Then Lloyd answered,

Its a business that will fail if its not Valentines. It seems that the Grand Dukes aide also put it in as a joke.

Meanwhile, Tristan was still called the Grand Duke.

So what will Tristan be called if Lloyd inherits the title of Grand Duke from him? Previous Grand Duke?

Aria thought inside.

If you dont have any clues, it wouldnt hurt to hang around here.

Well, it does.

Come to think of it, the Siren itself was often dismissed as a legendary monster until Sophia appeared. Even if there were records, it was recognized as a novel rather than a history book.

Siren doesnt leave a trace and is hiding.

She was wondering if she could find those vain dreams by unraveling all the world. But even if she does.

Its like finding a needle in the desert.

If its not enough, you can send more.

Lloyd said indifferently.

Valentines capital was rotting because it wasnt overflowing, and there were countless people who wanted to invest.

Youre going to do it even though you know its an investment that is sure to fail?

Whats that about?

Aria had only seen the nobles whose family was faltering due to failed investment, so Aria was dumbfounded at Lloyds waste of money.

If you think about it, thats the only way to find the Siren. Its a serious waste of money, but.

Aria paused without continuing her thoughts.

She found a familiar name in the documents.

Atlantis?

A city of legends, the hometown of the Sirens who were submerged in the sea 1500 years ago. It was the only old story Sophia told her while she was alive.

Visit readel.me for extra chapters.

This person.

Aria pointed her finger at the one claiming to find the treasures of Atlantis.

Some may have known Atlantis. Because its on the record.

But its rare that people with a sane mind set out to find a legendary treasure that no one believed ever existed.

Can you call this person?

Either theyre a bragger, crazy, or really know something.

Aria put her hopes up for the last time.

Its a secret, but Im descended from the royal family of Atlantis.

He was a crazy bragger.

Aria let out a sigh at the thought that she had been expecting too much and she was an idiot. She took the time to listen seriously, and there he goes talking nonsense.

Besides, that mans eyes.

Youre not cheating on me. It seems he really believes that he is a descendant of the royal family.

How surprising.

How did it happen?

If he had been a scammer, she would have charged him with trying to deceive Valentine and kicked him out, but if he was out of his mind, it would be ambiguous to do so.

Aria looked at the man with pity for a moment, then stood up from her seat. The she commanded the Black Falcon

[Send him back.]

Wa, wait! Im not lying. Trust me!

Yes. You seem to really believe that, but.

She knew the truth.

Atlantis is the Sirens hometown. Although this is the only known truth in the world.

If there is a royal family in Atlantis, the descendant will be me, a Siren.

Aria thought to herself. It wasnt even funny.

And since it was a dynasty that was already buried in the water 1500 years ago and disappeared, what was the use of the royal family?

But the man, who had been brutally dragged by the Black Falcons hand, suddenly strained his neck and shouted.

There is proof!

Proof?

We have a family heirloom. Look at this! Theres a map that opens the door to Atlantis!

..

..

He took the moment as the Black Falcon stopped for a moment, and quickly rummaged through his clothes.

And he pulled out something unknown from his arms.

It was a mass of something covered in barnacles.

Sea trash?

To be honest, it looked like that. There was a lot of stuff stuck together and the shape was distorted, so she couldnt really recognize it other than a lump.

It was said that if the ancestors sailed on a boat with this map in their arms, the entrance to Atlantis would be opened.

The Black Falcons who watched the scene silently exchanged glances. Then they put their finger next to their head and turned it around.

He seemed to have gone crazy, so they were saying to get rid of him quickly.

[If its that simple, why havent you opened the entrance until now?]

That, that!

The man panicked and stuttered.

My family was poor from generation to generation, so I didnt have enough capital In fact, there was no one in my ancestors or family who seriously tried to explore like me

It was just too obvious.

Who believes in one story passed down from generation to generation and goes out to sea carrying barnacles, that looks more like thrash.

It looks like that person was really trying to do that.

Aria asked.

[Why are you so serious?]

That, actually
