Chapter 649 You too
Under the cover of the dark night, Rain and Seara dove into the ocean and start swimming towards the underwater castle. The water was getting colder as they went deeper, but they didn't let that slow them down. They were on an important mission, and there was no time to waste.
The underwater capital was silent and quiet when Rain and Seara arrived there. They could feel the presence of people, but the number was quite small... the only explanation was that most of them left the area to fight the dragons.
Few of the guards were in the castle, but they didn't stop those two or tell them that the emperor wasn't there. Although he usually doesn't work at night, they found Seadrei on his throne studying the underwater maps of the area.
Seadrei's body bore the marks of recent encounters with sea dragons. He had several wounds that were healing thanks to Glutonous Recovery, evident in the form of teeth marks on his body. In addition to the bite marks, there were also scratches and claw marks on his body, further indicating that he had been in fierce battles with the sea dragons.
The wounds were gradually healing, but they served as a testament to the dangerous and challenging battles he had been engaged in while protecting his underwater kingdom from the relentless sea dragons. Despite the injuries, Seadrei remained determined and resolute, but a bit troubled for letting his daughter see him like that.
"Dad! Are you all right?" Seara approached in a hurry and then asked.
"Yes, I am," Seadrei said while showing a troubled smile. "I was hoping that you all wouldn't have to get involved in this, but I guess it can't be helped when their attacks are also affecting the human territory."

"I will leave the future problems to the future me," Rain said.
"That is indeed something you would say," Seadrei said. "Regardless, we are on this together, so we can help each other. I have some plans in mind, and I will put them in action in case things take some difficult turns. When that happened, I will trust your judgment."
Seadrei carefully chose his words as he spoke to Rain, making an effort not to reveal the full extent of the challenges his people faced against the sea dragons. His ambiguous words were intended to shield his daughter from unnecessary worry, and Rain respected that decision.
Understanding Seadrei's intention, Rain chose not to press the matter further and trusted the sea emperor to handle the situation as best as he could.
Seadrei then proceeded to explain their nighttime defensive strategy, emphasizing that they played a more defensive role during the night to conserve their strength. He reassured Rain that, come morning, they would fight with all their might to defend their territory.
Taking Seadrei's advice to heart, Rain and Seara decided to return to the port town, where they would prepare for the coming challenges and join the battle against the ice dragons when the time was right.
"I want to help Dad, but I have a feeling that he won't be able to focus if I am around," Seara said.
"In that case, you should think of what else you can do," Rain said. "He is a bit simple minded, so you can help him by starting to think for him."
"I will do that for you too, since you also tend to dash ahead without caring about your well-being," Seara said after she raised her left eyebrow.
