Chapter 2

"Is this 'it'?"

The tone treating people like objects. It's still the same.

The attendant beside him bowed respectfully.

"Yes, my Lord."

"Water's power?"

"Well, that..."

The attendant glanced around and shook his head.

'Water's power.'

It refers to a special power passed down through generations of the Blue Whale family.

With this power, aquatic beastmen could fully utilize their abilities even on land.

For aquatic beastmen, who grow weaker the farther they are from the sea, this power was incredibly important.

Moreover, the stronger this power, the more it allowed surrounding aquatic beastmen to fully utilize their own abilities.

Furthermore, when this power reached its peak, it could grant such a buff to all aquatic animals.

'I achieved that level.'

In the previous cycle, I obtained a treasure from the original story.

With the help of the treasure, I awakened and pushed the water's power to its limits, eventually not only securing the position of the family head but also gathering all aquatic beastmen to start a war.

'They said we stank first.'

In fact, when I read the novel, all the aquatic beastmen were the worst villains to me.

They tried to kidnap the cute squirrel heroine, forced her to use her healing power with drugs, and later even tried to kill her.

The Blue Whale beastmen, the ultimate villains, were no different.

But when I entered this world, I found that the real bullies were the land animals.

Not only did they take all the good land on the continent...

They drove the aquatic beastmen to the salty, barren lands where farming was impossible and mocked them.

The fish said they should just eat their own salty fish.

'For creatures that stink of fish themselves...'

Even though our true forms are aquatic animals, when we take human form, we have to eat like humans.

In the barren lands and on the islands, the aquatic beastmen lived fiercely.

So, the kids became more ruthless. Yes, they did.

'Actually, I can't say I didn't have a desire for revenge for the previous cycle.'

I was sold to other families before I even turned ten every time.

In the first cycle, it was the Black Leopard family, and in the second cycle, after causing a huge commotion, I ended up entangled with the royal family where the original male lead was.

But I lived as a tool to be sold.

In the previous life, I ran away in anger, almost dying.

After building my strength and returning, I killed the older brothers and became the family head.

'Damn, what good is getting so strong!'

I almost won the war against the land animal families in the original story who dared to look down on our aquatic animals...

'I didn't know the male lead would provoke the Dragon Duke, who was quietly living, to go berserk and attack together.'

The cheat key of this world.

Originally, the Dragon Duke was supposed to mediate between land animals and aquatic beastmen.

'But he goes berserk once every ten years.'

The current Dragon Duke was a character who just wanted to live quietly.

In the original story, he had almost no interaction with the heroine or was just a wise advisor...

The male lead, thinking they might lose, provoked the quiet Duke to go berserk, leading to a total annihilation ending!

In the previous cycle, I decided.

This time, I must return home.

'I have to become the Dragon's Bride.'

That's a good decision, but... the first obstacle was staring at me.

Hmm, how do I make this old lady not dislike me immediately?

"Tsk, you brought something useless."

The old lady clicked her tongue and said in a voice as cold as ice.

"My Lord, the child's name is..."

"Calypso. Calypso Aquasiadel."

"Yes, I will record it."

'This naming process is flowing the same way again.'

Calypso, a name like a water sprite.

Why did they give me such a precious name every time they chased me away?

'Minimal conscience, I guess. Pfft.'

I bitterly resented the old lady, but ironically, I now looked at her without any emotion.

This was because, in the previous cycle, one of my retainers said something when he died.

"Lord Calypso, the previous family head... regretted it until the day he died."

"Huh? What nonsense? Did he go senile before he died?"
