Everyone drew in a sharp breath.
A long time had passed since the Throne exploded, and everyone had thought Elsa's [Amber] and Sidney's suppression had successfully plugged the breach in the Throne.
Yet there was actually still a hole left unplugged?!
And that hole happened to be in the sea, so it had gone undetected and kept leaking all this time?!
How much must have leaked out-
"Those Evil Entities all poured into the Deep Sea. The Deep Sea has become extremely dangerous now. I nearly came to harm just staying at its edge-"
The members of the Communion exchanged looks.
When they had traveled aboard the Dawn, trouble had struck as soon as they entered the Deep Sea, too. Thinking back now, that certainly seemed suspicious. The depths of the Misty Ocean had been dangerous before, but surely not so dangerous that they were doomed the moment they entered?
Could that have been related to this, too?
"In short, I was trapped in the sea and unable to return, so I had no choice but to merge with Lady Theresia. Her body was better suited to the ocean-"
She unconsciously waved her fish tail.
"But wasn't Theresia of royal blood? As I recall, the Royal Family are human." Elliot frowned.
"Lady Theresia was indeed human, but she used forbidden power and was eternally cursed, sealed within a bronze statue. This body is the physical manifestation of that curse."
Everyone was shocked.
"Theresia was sealed inside the bronze statue?"
"A curse?!"
"Forbidden power? Growing a fish tail is forbidden power?!"
There was simply too much information in Holly's words. Every member of the Communion wore an expression of disbelief.
Theresia's flesh-and-blood body really was sealed inside her Bronze Statue? Had she been watching the Empire from within that bronze statue
