Elma's POV
Things have been odd between us since I embarrassed myself last night. Currently, I was escorted to Sebastian's car by the King and Queen, themselves.
Sebastian was clearly displeased. Now to think of the confinement of the car, it was making me anxious too.
Alexander gave me an encouraging smile before he spoke, "I hope you are going to shine at the school too. It's important for the imperials to leave a mark behind them. Our Sebastian did it. I am sure he will continue doing it but the same is expected from you."
I gulped clutching on to my hand tightly. Nonetheless, my glance didn't waver at him.
"Noted; sir. I will do my best. Thanks for encouragement." I really appreciated his concern to make me feel a part of their home.
Though, it won't be easy. The Queen extended her hand and I immediately took it. Surprisingly, she put something into my palm, smiling at me. She gestured and I took a peek into
Hey Guys, hope you're well. Please drop your comment on how you feel about the story. Thanks a lot!
Sebastian’s POVIt’s frustrating that she knows too much. I tossed and turned in my bed after her vain try to get to me. What disturbs me is how my body reacted to her closeness. Why, why, WHY!Groaning, I tossed again; hoping to calm down enough to catch some sleep. I can’t believe my dad too. Why was he going over the board for her? He even enrolled her in the Elite school? It wasn’t necessary. He wasn’t like that so there should be an ulterior motive behind his action. But what it could be?Could it be possible that he wants me to coerce her?My heart raced and I stilled in my bed; hand that was covering my eyes fell to my side.No! That’s not it. He wouldn’t have waited for so long. It was so like my father to come and order me right away; then why now?Is he planning to adopt her?My eyes grew wider than possible!Don&rs
Sebastian's POV"What do you mean by that?"Did I hear that right?"We tried to locate Princess Elma but we failed." Dan answered grimly, shocking me.I hurriedly went to talk to my father. Maybe, a small part of me considered it to be my mistake; that explains the sudden weird feeling in my chest.My father was in the midst of giving instructions."His Majesty!" I bowed slightly and heard him ask the person to leave."I assume that you have heard the news." Father pointed out and I clenched my fist."I did, father. But what is really bugging me is the fact that why isn't she contacted rather than finding her? Trace her location or such." I offered and he shuffled; coming towards me."Were you really with her, Sebastian?" He asked and I went quiet."You would have noticed she doesn't carry a phone. Which reminds me I should provide her with one; but the girl never demanded one in the
Elma's POV'Who the fuck are you?"I felt a grip on my shirt and in another second, I was pulled up by the bad guy. My heart jumped and dropped in utmost fear. This is getting worse.Keeping my eyes shut, trying to get my senses together, I tried to focus on my feelings; the real mermaid feelings.It doesn't matter anymore. Sooner or later, I'll have to do it.Thinking, I surrendered to my real identity. I opened my eyes and glared at the guy.The other one was in complete shock, as he watched my tail wave strongly before landing a hit at the bad guy's face.He seemed stunned; holding his cheek with a pale face. I jumped up in air and did a swirl before taking a dip into the water. Again, resurfacing, I noticed the old man's scratched and bruised face. I felt bad.He got it from helping me.I need to help him too.Angered, I waved my tail again, hitting the bad guy fierc
Elma's POV"How are you? You scared me." Caitlyn rushed towards me; she was reluctant to hug or maintain curtsy since we were standing around the royalties.My heart beats staggered. Familiar warmth came from her that reminded me of my dad. I smiled and held her hands in mine, squeezing them. She was in tears, forcing a smile."I am fine, Caitlyn. Thanks to Mr. White. He saved me." I said and regretted it when she panicked."Saved? What happened? I want to know about it. And thank you Mister for keeping my lady safe." Caitlyn said to Robert, bowing slightly.Robert was flustered. He looked nervous and I just smiled at him to let him know it will be okay.Soon, a towel was wrapped around me and we headed upstairs when Alexander came to greet me."Elma! I am glad you came back safely. Was this the man who saved you?" He asked and I nodded.He nodded and smiled at Robert who seemed to pass out any minute."
Elma's POV"Princess Elma!"Groaning, I opened my eyes and struggled to find the source of this voice. It sounded unfamiliar."Sir White, please ask the female marshal to come here, at once."I touched my head subconsciously and felt something warm. Bringing it to my face, it was surprising to see blood. Suddenly, I remembered everything.I sat straight and finally spotted Caitlyn with a tensed face."Princess Elma! You're awake." She sighed in relief."I-I am sorry but I will be back soon." I said and quickly jumped to my feet, taking off in the woods."Elma!" Caitlyn shouted from behind but I was in a hurry."Sorry to worry. I will be quick." I shouted back hoping she could hear; my voice sounded raspy.Sebastian! He might be in trouble. This was the first time he phased and he might not know anything.God! That is terrible…I kept running a
Sebastian's POVThe fuck!I am sitting naked right next to a girl!What more? She is… gorgeous!Yes, I can see…I can see perfectly well. However, I never thought that the first thing that I would be able to see would be extraordinary beauty.My heart is racing crazily. There are tingles under my skin. Despite the small distance between our backs, I can feel her warmth. It was unreasonably making me nervous.Fuck! What a fine impression she would get of me, now. Damn!To sit here in my birthday suit like the day I was born. No, not exactly… that time I was little with no sense of my own plus my… winnie wasn't big. Unlike now… It wouldn't have responded back then but surely will do any second this moment if I don't stop thinking of her."Um… I think I have an idea."My eyebrows lifted and I turned to stare at her
Elma's POV"May I have a word with you, Princess Elma?" The King asked me to follow as soon as I ran into him.My heart was already reeling from the small encounter with Sebastian. I hope Alexander hasn't noticed it; the explanation will be horrific.I clutched the sides of my dress as I quietly followed after him. Why was he even awake at this hour?We were soon in a room that had a sofa, a piano set at one corner and a table with tea cutleries. He gestured to me to take a seat and I obliged. My legs would have given away at any minute."You must be wondering why I called you, right?" He asked and I nodded."Tea?"
Sebastian’s POV“Good morning, Elma! You guys are together?” Derek questioned her as he appeared a bit surprised.“G-good morning, Derek!” Elma blushed slightly and I clicked my tongue in annoyance.Easy!“Anyway, we heard Jonathan would be back today. The King is throwing a party for his welcome. So, we’ll see you after school as well!” Marcus beamed and it only added fuel to my fire.“Yeah! It’s surprising to learn that he will join our class! So sudden, right?” Derek questioned while we made our way to our desks.“Isn’t it obvious what the King is planning? I think they want to train Jonathan to give Seb a hard ti
Sebastian’s POVWhy is it always her?This is becoming too troublesome. Nor do I want her to interfere in my life and not can I just ignore her completely. I can keep lying to myself but right now, it is clear why her presence bothers me the most.“Hey, dude! Is it true that Elma is promised to Jonathan?” Amber asked me and I grunted in response.“That’s unfair! We didn’t get our chance.” Derek grumbled.Meanwhile, it was frustrating how Jonathan was having lunch with her. He has changed somehow. I can’t hear him complain or hear anything against him.“It’s odd that Jonathan has been acting way too nice with her. I even heard that he has started paying attention to all his classes.” Marcus added, taking me by surprise.No wonder he is at it. Jonathan has a sharp mind. Could it be that he has come to accept the terms of being the next King?Tsk! I’m not letting that happen.“Bro, she looks uncomfortable.” A small yet understandable voice caught our attention.Derek, Marcus and I were s
Elma’s POV“D-Den?” I mumbled, feeling myself being pulled back to my feet.“Y-You… a-are…” Den was blabbering like an idiot, seemingly scared out of his wits.Sebastian was behind me, his body’s heat inducing warmth to my own body while his hands gripped on my shoulder tensely.He is worried, just like me. Den came closer trying to form words but in vain. He looked like a fish gasping for oxygen outside water. Meanwhile, I was terrified. If he outed us, we might be done for once and all.So, without thinking much, I dashed on him to use my touch to make him forget it all. However, Sebastian might have misinterpreted it. He grabbed my arm in order to stop me. I hissed and desperately smacked his hand off me. Swiftly, I reached for Den who instinctively dodged me.I was shocked!Regardless of the situation he was in, Den impressively saved himself. However, this was a matter of concern for me.“What are you doing?” Sebastian asked in rage while Den swirled me around and pinned me again
Elma’s POV“Sebastian!” Immediately covering my mouth, I ensured in fear that I was alone.If someone heard that again, I’ll be screwed for real. Nonetheless, I can’t just leave him to be. Thus, I headed outside to get some fresh air; meanwhile, I planned my escape from the back garden when I turned pale hearing many wolves howling.No way! Could it be a fight?My heart was beating heavily. For some reason, I was afraid that Sebastian was involved. Thus, I had no choice but to ask for Caitlyn.“Yes, Princess Elma?” She asked, happy to find me outside my room.“Um… I need some… silver?” It became more of a question.Caitlyn’s expected confusion was visible on her face. She tried to open her mouth to ask when I shook my head in answer.“Not now. Could you bring it urgently?” Asking, my head slightly turned to my left when a loud howl sent shivers down my spine.“Okay.” She mumbled and passed her orders quickly.“Is this regarding the wolves?” She questioned, shocking me.Am I readable?
Sebastian’s POV“Kissed? Really?” I found myself repeating slowly when I heard my dad sneer.“Or what else?” He questioned before jabbing a finger on my shoulder.“It’s already decided so give up before you get hurt even more.” He informed and I stayed still in my place while the others dispersed.It wasn’t too long when I heard another voice whispering behind my ear.“What does it feel like without being able to see?”As if someone poured a bucket of cold water over my head, I was shell shocked. The voice is unfamiliar and that of a male.Who is it?I was lost completely…Who is this person? I don’t know what face I am making right now but to be outed by an unknown person was really scary.What should I do?“Pffftt… Look at this face now. ‘Prince’ Sebastian!” Hahahah…My world came to a standstill. His laughter was irritating. Could it be that this is Elma’s alliance?First she came closer and learnt my weakness. After knowing that Jonathan was the one to be the King, she kissed him
Sebastian’s POVI was down with a fever for the next two days. Den has ensured the treatment of my wounds. However, I heard about what happened that day. I wanted to talk to Elma and apologize. If not for me, we wouldn’t have been in that situation and Elma wouldn’t have suffered.Despite this, I was afraid of being caught in a similar situation again and it would worsen things for her. So, I asked Den to find a suitable time for me to visit her. Though, according to him she hasn’t come out of her room anymore. It made me feel guilty all the more. Nevertheless, my agitation has increased. My fever has refused to lower and I wonder if this is due to something else. Now as I rethink, this feels the same as the last time. My head feels hot and about to explode. Regardless, I am unsure if I could control this phasing anyhow. Will I be able to do it myself?The more I think of this the more uncomfortable I feel. Den wouldn’t leave me alone and I can’t trust myself around him.I had no memo
Elma’s POVThu~~Strong hands grabbed me firmly and helped me stay on my feet, until I came back to my senses.With no courage to look straight in anyone’s eyes, I was crushing inside; feeling the warmth of an unknown person on my lips.I felt disgusted…Ashamed that I let my old self down. Despite being too young, I remember that kiss I shared with Prince Sebastian a long time ago. As I grew old, my dad always narrated my parents’ love story and how it feels to be loved. He always told me to wait for the right person.Somehow, my mermaid genes have remembered Sebastian as my love.
Elma’s POV Weirdly, it was the usual day in the mansion. I had kept my eyes open to pick any suspicious acts but in vain. Since it was a weekend and we had no school today, I wondered how to approach Sebastian regarding last night. I sighed, feeling an itch on my skin. The softest breeze felt prickly. Unable to handle it any longer, I was about to scratch when I noticed Queen Lara descending the stairs of the great hall. Her sight mesmerizes me. Now that I see, Jonathan is her replica with his forehead as his dad. She is amazing; naturally catching everyone’s attention wherever you go. “Ah! The First Queen was even prettier.” I was startled hearing Caitlyn’s voice. She apologized and continued to organize my schedule for today. She tapped on her tablet swiftly before handing me a glass of
Elma's POV "I have better things to do!" Sebastian muttered and left with incoherent mumbling.My face dropped and I was about to leave when Jonathan interrupted."Eh excuse me, Elma. Do you have a small crush on my brother? Even though he is always hot headed." He spoke with a calculative glance.Jonathan's words with a hot body dripping water droplets flushed blood straight to my face."What!!!" I almost screamed when I heard them.Was it obvious? I hope not! Not after Alexander's warning."Hahaha… Relax!" He chuckled and my heart beat slowed hearing his marvelous laughter. It was the only natural one I have heard since I came to live with the Goldsman."Nevermind. It's not like I was expecting anything different." I said and passed a soft smile before finally leaving from there.Yet, I could feel Jonathan's gaze at the back of my head. It seemed he had something else to say. Regardless, staying longer there wouldn't be good.Despite o
Sebastian’s POVDammit!For the past few days I was losing my eyesight once again. It feels terrible now that I have enjoyed my eyesight back. Moreover the thought of someone finding this has made me edgy.As for Jonathan, he is carelessly enjoying his time at this house. Furthermore, his attitude has taken me aback. Jonathan was serious during training and took part in every discussion of the company’s scope and problems.This increased my insecurity. Knowing he is a jolly fellow, I had to be careful.“Prince Sebastian!”I halted recognizing Jonathan’s personal guard’s voice.“Prince Jonathan would l
