Inrumours,deepsearaceslikedtoeathumans!
Apparently,itwasjustarumour.Anyonewithamindcouldfindwhatagroundlessrumouritwasafterthinkingforawhile.

Mostdeepsearacescouldnaturallyshrinktheirbodies,endurecoldanddarkness,therefore,deepseacreatures’naturalphysiquewastotallydifferentfromthecreaturesthatlivedintheshallowseaandtheground.
TheLamiaRacewasararedeepsearacethatcouldadapttotheenvironmentoftheground,theshallowseaandthedeepsea.TheywereveritableoverlordsintheWaterGod’sworld.
AmongstthethreeWaterGod’sHighPriestesses,theLamiaQueenwasalsothestrongest.
However,Lamiasdidn’tdosowellontheroadoflove.

Unfortunately,onceamisconceptionformed,itwouldbetoodifficulttoremoveit.AlthoughLamiashadstrongpowerfromtheirbloodline,theystillavoidedappearinginfrontofthepublic,wanderingoutsideoftheCaelianCityforthousandsofyears.

Butsoon,theyfoundtheworldbecamedifferentduetothemarriagecontractwiththeWhiteEmperor.
