Chapter 2060: Unmoving Wish
"NOOO!" The shout of the dragon turtle princess echoed in the room as a powerful burst of water suddenly prevented Adrian from doing what he was supposed to do.
"I guess the princess is still very energetic that she managed to bounce back from fainting immediately." Adrian stated while the Dragon Turtle Princess looked extremely embarrassed. The power of the attack was not powerful enough to blow Adrian away. In fact, he did not think that a Dragon Turtle would be that weak even if she is not in her real form. Then again, Adrian realized that her weakened power might be due to her not having her Cintamani. The power that the Dragon Turtle Princess could use was not even a quarter of the strength that Adrian feels from the king.
A few minutes earlier...
"King Kame Yashashi, force your daughter to extract the Cintamani from my acquaintance." Adrian stated via telepathy as he knew that the king was probing his mind.
Paradox actually warned Adrian that King Kame Yashashi was trying to enter his head to read his mind. Paradox blocked all attempts of mind reading but Adrian utilized this connection when the dragon turtle princess suddenly acted like she fainted. Adrian could easily read body language as he knew a master that utilized this technique in real life.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"I guess I should thank my sister for incidents like this. I can smell the fakeness even from where I am standing." Adrian thought as his sister \'fainted\' a couple of times to get out of situations where she would lose.
"My daughter already fainted, and you want to force her!" King Kame Yashashi replied.
"You and I know that she is just faking it. Or are you that blinded by your love for your daughter that you will play along with her selfishness. If you are not going to move, then I shall make the move for you." Adrian stated which led to the current situation.
"Do not harm him!" The Dragon Turtle Princess stated as she showed killing intent towards Adrian.
"You do not want to grant his wish. It is selfish of you to control the life of another mortal, princess. You need to know when to give up or let go. Did your father spoil you to the point that you think that everything that you do is justified as long as you are happy? You are not even thinking of the other party when you are focusing on your own selfishness." Adrian stated.
"Princess Mizuki, I want to finally rest. I have already lived more than enough lifetimes. I might have been harsh when I said that what you gave me was a burden but know that I enjoyed my time with you here in this realm. Please know that is enough for a mortal like me." Urashima Taro stated.
"No! You can live here with me!" Princess Mizuku stated as she looked desperate as she gazed upon the tired body of Urashima Taro.
Urashima Taro might look young but that is only his physical feature. When someone looks at him from an entire perspective, they would see a person with a young face but a battered body of someone that has lived too long. The vessel that holds his soul could only contain so much of it that it was nearing collapse.
"I think I should be straightforward so that the princess can know the real state of his body. I think even your father, the king, would agree on my observations because he has seen it as well. Urashima Taro does not have long to exist due to the current state of his body and soul." Adrian stated without hiding anything.
"What do you mean by that?" Urashima Taro asked.
"Your soul is at the point of collapse. I would give you at least a year before you eventually turn to dust. You might have lived longer if the stories of your continuous revival from death were embellished but where do you think the energy used in your revival comes from." Adrian stated which made Urashima Taro remember that he did die many times.
"Are you saying that... I almost vanished because of my repeated coming back from the dead?" Urashima Taro muttered as he almost lost his mind.
"Even if it is a Cintamani, the fact that you are getting restored back to your prime is already alarming. Do you know how much energy is needed to do that? Even the Cintamani cannot perfectly replicate your body which means that it needs the record. The body\'s record is none other than one\'s soul. Every recovery you do meant that your soul is always used which resulted in it being battered." Adrian explained.
"That is not true! Tell me he is lying, father." Princess Mizuki exclaimed as she looked towards her father that always cuddled and spoiled her, but he only looked away.
"Even your father know that is true. It is now your time to release your savior from the cage that you have locked him in." Adrian stated.
"But... but..." Princess Mizuki muttered as she tried to reminisce the past when she was saved and then they played but that is all that she can do. She could only think of the past but cannot imagine a future with Urashima Taro. This is the true wish of the princess using the Cintamani. She wished that both her and Urashima Taro be unmoving which also resulted in the mind of the princess not maturing.
"One would think that a wish fulfilling stone like the Cintamani would not have any cause and effect but that is not true. For every wish that it grants, something must be taken in order to balance causality. It is also the reason why my daughter is trapped in the past despite being hundreds of years old already." King Kame Yashashi stated with a sigh.
