Leon's POV
I was currently kneeling right in front of the Queen of the Mermaids, trying my best to maintain a composed expression despite the overwhelming aura that continued to radiate from her. Honestly, she was quite an intimidating woman to stand before, and I could easily understand why she had managed to rule over an entire race of mermaids. There was something about her presence that made it difficult to forget just how powerful she was, even if she wasn't doing anything particularly threatening at the moment.
"I honestly didn't expect you to win the war for us," the Queen admitted, looking down at me with a somewhat complicated expression. "We did help out a little, of course, but compared to everything you've accomplished, I have to admit that our contribution was rather lacking."
