Chapter 1005: Farewell after Reunion

"Why, Atlanna, is there something I did wrong?" Thomas' twenty years of waiting were thrown into an ice cellar because of Atlanna's words. Even though the climate in Maine is pleasant, Thomas still feels desperate now.

"I'm sorry, this is not a question of whether you did a good job or not. You have not changed your heart for more than 20 years and have always believed that I would come back. To be honest, I am very touched. I am really touched. There was a time when all I wanted was this touch, loyalty and companionship. But more than 20 years have passed, and my thoughts have changed."

"It's not that you're bad, it's just that I've changed and have other ideas."

"Atlanna, if you want to be your queen, I won't stop you, as long as you take the time to meet me..." Thomas still wanted to fight for it, but it was obvious that Atlanna had other considerations.

"I'm sorry, Thomas. I'm grateful to have met you. I never regret it. After all, we have Arthur. The feelings between us are real. But can you understand me? I have been trapped in one place for more than 20 years. I understand your thoughts, but I have also been thinking about it for more than 20 years. I am tired or exhausted. Anyway, I want to start a new life. Can you understand me, Thomas?"

Queen Atlanna's response was sincere and heartfelt, without any concealment. Indeed, Queen Atlanna's own thoughts had changed over the years, just like when Atlanna escaped from the marriage arranged by the country. Today, Atlanna no longer wanted to be with Thomas.

Yes, Thomas is a good man in the ordinary sense, but so what? Especially after meeting Su Xiuyu in the Dixinzanghai, Atlanna changed even more.

If Atlanna used to think that the sea was the whole world (after all, with the arrogance of the Atlanteans, the human continent was just a corner), now Atlanna has finally seen the real world.

A truly strong man can freeze the sea with a wave of his hand. The artifact in his hand can easily freeze everything. Even the Atlantean artifact, the Trident of Poseidon, is no different from a big fork in Su Xiuyu's eyes, so he gave it directly to Mera to use.

It was said to be borrowed, but did Su Xiuyu really care about the ownership of the Trident of Poseidon? Perhaps he deliberately said it was borrowed to protect Mera, so as to prevent people from other countries from coveting the Trident of Poseidon.

For example, Orm, who had always coveted the Trident of Poseidon, had to admit that he did not have the courage to challenge Mera because the ownership of the Trident of Poseidon was not in Mera's hands.

Of course, Atlanna was actually overthinking this. Su Xiuyu lent the Trident of Poseidon to Mera simply because he didn't think highly of it. It was really of little use, and he didn't consider too many other issues at all.

Of course, this simple action was misunderstood by Queen Atlanna. After all, everyone is in a different position and has different ideas.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I delayed you..." Thomas's twenty-year wait was shattered and he burst into tears.

Thomas thought that Atlanna was blaming him for not finding her for more than 20 years and just waiting on land. Thomas also thought clearly that what Atlanna said was right. He couldn't help Atlanna, and after so many years, people's ideas would change.

"Can we hug each other one last time? Let's consider it a farewell." Thomas looked miserable. Even though it was hard to accept, this was the way it was now and he had to accept it whether he wanted to or not.

"I'm sorry, I just came here to say goodbye today. Arthur, if you have any problems, you can contact me or your brother Orm. Atlanna is also your home." Atlanna rejected Thomas's last hug and tactfully drew a clear line between them.

Faced with his heartbroken father, even Arthur, who had just reunited with his mother after a long separation, could not be happy. He could only wave goodbye to his mother and Orm temporarily, and then help his father back to the lighthouse.

Atlanna took one last look at the towering lighthouse. It had once held the most beautiful memories, but now it was a thing of the past. The most beautiful memories were already in the past.

"Om, do you think I'm too heartless?" Atlanna knew how much of a blow her farewell today was to Thomas, but this was something Atlanna had already made up her mind while underwater.

"If mother really wants to ask for my opinion, I will first say that this land man is not worthy of you at all. In fact, this land man is already too old to be recognized. Mother, he is not suitable for you. You deserve better."

This is the truest thought in Om's heart. Although he was severely slapped in the face by Su Xiuyu, Om was already very reluctant to compare and discuss the land people and the Atlanteans together. To put it bluntly, it was similar to the racial discrimination of the white people in the past.

Of course, facing a god-like existence like Su Xiu Yu, Om was indeed in awe, because Su Xiu Yu's strength was there, and strength was something that could not be faked.

"Om, do you really want to take the position of Lord of the Seven Seas?"

Atlanna's question made Om fall silent. If he had been asked before whether he wanted to become the Lord of the Seven Seas, Om would not have hesitated. Didn't that man have the idea of ​​making great achievements?

However, after Orm launched the Dragon War, all his plans and deployments were completely disrupted by one person. This person crushed the entire capital of Atlantis with his personal strength alone, and completely refreshed King Orm's cognition.

"It would be a lie to say I don't want it, but now I'm more open-minded. Even if I'm not the Lord of the Seven Seas, it's worth it to be able to see my mother again. If the position of Lord of the Seven Seas is really used to compare my mother's safety, I would rather not have these empty titles."

"I'm very happy that my son thinks so highly of me, but I want to tell you that if you still want to realize your great ideal, I think we should consider the current ownership of the Trident of Poseidon. You have seen how strong Su Xiuyu is. So in the future, you'd better follow his pace. Only in this way can you succeed."

Atlanna's advice is very straightforward and crude, and it also has certain reference value for Om.

"Also, when you sit down at the negotiation table with humans, you'd better communicate with Su Xiuyu in advance and strive for some benefits. Although the ocean and the land are not completely opposite, they will not be polite when it comes to fighting for benefits."

"I understand." Om knew that his mother's nagging was all for his own good, so he just needed to listen patiently.
