I JUST WANT A PEACEFUL LIFE

Sunset city is one of the most beautiful places in the Heart kingdom because of its beautiful beach. It is one of the most popular places for nobles to take vacations and relax. However, this beautiful city seems to lack visitors these days.

The beautiful beach that never lacks people looks empty. If it were not for the local people and the merchant nearby, the beach would look abandoned. Despite the horrible pandemic ending more than a week ago, this tourist city has not entirely recovered and functions normally.

Using this chance, Angus and the others decide to use the empty beach as their private beach. Currently, Angus and Jayna are on the beach having a nice sunbathing while lying on the beach chair.

Everything looks normal if it is not because of the strange barrier surrounding them. The barrier makes them thoroughly blend with the surroundings while they can still see the outside normally. It is similar to a one-way mirror from Earth.

Angus possessiveness is truly almost to the point of madness. He will never allow others to look at Jayna while she is only wearing a bikini swimsuit.

"Hmm… Did you think it was okay to completely ignore Aunt Extalia and Father?" asked Jayna.

"Don't worry, besides that task is completely ridiculous. Many other young nobles than me want to prove themself. So, why is it only me? Moreover, I don't like your eldest brother." replied Angus nonchalantly.

Hearing Angus' reply, Jayna couldn't help but sigh and decide to change the topic. After three days, the Duchess Amberblaze meet Angus and tries to 'persuade' him to take the Nirvas task.

However, Angus already predicted this and suddenly completely disappeared along with Jayna and Anna for the past few days. In the end, the Duchess gives up since she also has a lot of work to do. The war with the Nergal kingdom may reach a stalemate situation.

However, she still needs to keep in check the other kingdom. Moreover, the Flash squad is one of the top espionage and sabotage work squads.

With their speed, they could finish their work before anyone noticed. Hence, Duchess Amberblaze is quite busy at this moment. She decides to go back to Sunset city at the later date after she finishes her work.

At the same time, Angus gets reprimanded by his father for declining the important task, but he ignores it. Fortunately, Angus also heard good news from his father.

Because of the urgency, the crown prince decided to depart as soon as possible, accompanied by a few of his young noble friends. It means Angus no longer needs to go with them.

While chatting about various things, Angus and Jayna suddenly feel a small vibration from the sea in front of them. *BURST* A huge water pillar suddenly burst out from the sea not far from the beach.

Angus and Jayna could see a monstrous tentacle-like deep blue color coming from the water. At the same time, they also find Anna is holding this colossal tentacle happily.

"Woaahh… I am flying. Ahh… Angus!! Big Sis!!" called Anna while waving her hand before falling to the sea below.

In the meantime, Angus and Jayna could only wave back helplessly while the nearby local people were in panic.

"Bless the Afir!! That's the sea monster." exclaimed one of the local people.

Before they could comment anymore, a few other giant tentacles came out from the sea along with Anna. Using this chance, Anna is skipping the tentacle and playing around.

"Should we help her?" asked Jayna.

"Hmm… I am not sure. Anna looks like having fun. Moreover, I also don't know what kind of monster it is. It is ridiculously huge." replied Angus.

"How huge?!" asked Jayna.

"Around a few hundred meters huge. How in the hell Anna was able to find such a monster?" said Angus.

"Few hundred meters?!! You are not serious, right?" asked Jayna.

"Nope, I am deadly serious." said Angus.

"Then, we should hurry and take Anna." said Jayna.

Suddenly, Anna gets hit by one of the enormous tentacles and thrown in their direction. Luckily, Anna had already prepared this and managed to land safely.

"Hahaha… That's exciting. Thanks, Mr. Squid. See ya." said Anna while waving her hand towards the tentacle monster.

"Anna, are you okay?" called Angus and Jayna.

"It's okay. We are just having fun." said Anna.

"What is that monster?" asked Angus.

"I don't know. I just found him while swimming with Onyx after a while, " replied Anna while playing with Onyx, curling around Anna's body in smaller form.

At this moment, many local people also begin to gather around. Fortunately, there are still Royal Guards nearby to prevent them near Angus and the others.

"Wait… How far did you swim to find such a thing?" asked Angus as he found the monster sea go away fast like running from something.

"Emm.. I don't know. I just ride Onyx." said Anna.

Then, Anna begins to talk about her little adventure. After a few days of playing on the beach, Anna is bored and decides to swim deeper into the ocean with the help of Onyx. She didn't notice that Onyx could travel kilometers away in a few minutes.

After traveling for a while, she finds many life forms and sea monsters in the ocean. At this moment, Anna finds a group of monsters with a massive tentacle-like squid. Inside the water, the monster keeps releasing a dim blinking light in the surroundings.

As Anna finds the monster intriguing and beautiful, she decides to kill and eat the monster. With the help of Onyx, they managed to subdue one of the tentacle monsters easily. This makes the other tentacle monster angry and attacks them.

However, they didn't know how monstrous ancient beasts Zokline and Anna were. The fight happens quite fast but the tentacle monster is on the losing end as they couldn't hurt Anna and Onyx at all.

In the end, they kill and eat almost all of them, even their strongest ones. The surviving monster decides to give up and try to talk with Anna since she seems able to understand the monster.

After surrendering and pleading for their life, Anna decides to let the surviving one go as she is also quite full. She remembered Jayna's warning that she couldn't eat too much snack before dinner as she may not be able to eat dinner.

However, Anna didn't realize she had already eaten tons of the monster meats at this moment. Finally, they decide to escort Anna and Onyx back to the beach.

After hearing Anna's story, Angus and Jayna could only massage their heads. They didn't expect Anna's little adventure could almost completely wipe out a group of monsters in the deep of the sea. Moreover, Angus and Jayna feel it is not an ordinary sea monster.

Although they couldn't feel the monster's true power, they could still find a massive life force in it. Last time they felt this kind of life was coming from Anna's current snake pet, Onyx. After a while, they decide to let Anna be since they are also speechless about this situation.

'Haa.. It is fortunate that she didn't encounter other people or something dangerous like a monster overlord.' thought Angus.

Finally, they decide to head back and wait for dinner time. Just after they want to move, someone grabs Angus's shoulder tightly.

"Finally, I got you." said Aunt Extalia coldly.

Hearing the familiar sound, "O-Oh.. Hi, Aunt Extalia. Long time no see." said Angus while having cold sweat.

'When did she get here?! She seems to appear out of nowhere. How did she do that?' thought Angus as he pondered how his future aunt able to suddenly appear behind him

"Aunt, huh?! It seems you need to redo your etiquette class once again." said Aunt Extalia as she suddenly swung her greatsword.

*SWISHH* *BAMM* A massive cut appears on Angus spot and keeps going until a dozen meters into the sea. Seeing such ridiculous strength and power from the Duchess' casual attack, Angus and Jayna couldn't help but gulp their own saliva.

"Come on, Aunt Extalia. It's just a joke." said Angus while keeping calling the Duchess as his aunt.

"Grr.. Fine. Forget about it. Anyway, all of you need to go back to the capital." said Aunt Extalia while taking her breath to calm down.

"Ehh.. Capital?! What for?" asked Angus.

"You are summoned by His Majesty, King Leon." said Aunt Extalia.

"Summoned?!" asked Angus again but he didn't refuse like usual.

Angus notices Aunt Extalia not calling King Leon as his majesty, not Leon or other casual name. From this tone, he knows this is an official matter. As for what it truly is, Angus could only wait until he reached the capital city.

"Fine. We will go back to the capital city." said Angus.

"Really?! Are you going to answer this summons?" asked Aunt Extalia.

"Yes. I don't know what happened, but it sounds like an official matter and I couldn't possibly ignore it, right? Unless this is just one of your ploys to end my vacation." said Angus.

"*Sigh* It seems Leon is right. You are too sharp. Tch.. This means I couldn't beat you up and punish you for insubordination." grumbled Aunt Extalia.

'Err… She really holds a grudge for me avoiding her.' thought Angus.
