This name is really a bit abnormal!" Mei Chuan? Pervert? The group of Japanese warriors started running furiously with hunchbacks in their hearts. Their Japanese name was translated in Chinese. It was indeed a little abnormal! "Just wait and see. My lord will come out of seclusion soon, and you'll die!"

Kaen says, snapping me out of whatever trance his daughter has me under, and I look at him with a frown. “Romanised name?” I ask “Yes. Umiko seems plain to some, and I know certain Americans prefer English names, so we have given her one if you would prefer to use it. Marina, it has the same meaning as Umiko.” When he says this, I am taken back to Caterina’s vision a few months back: /“No, but I saw Marina,” “Who?” “Marina, your mate?”/ This is when I finally paid attention to the word my beast was uttering, and it chilled me to my very core.
