2:NUPTIAS

When the lovers arrived at Hiluthas Palace, they remembered Prince Fiske, who was from the West Feral Sea.

"Maku," Princess Katsumi called to her father.

Prince Fiske immediately stared at her, and he stood up to pay his respects. "Princess Kat—"

"Maku, is there a problem?" she asked her father. 

Prince Fiske didn't finish what he had to say because Princess Katsumi suddenly spoke. She was worried about her father because his face was serious.

"No problem. We only came here to ask for your hand in marriage," Prince Fiske answered.

"I didn't ask you!" she responded sarcastically to him. And the lovers immediately noticed the reaction of Prince Fiske's eyebrows.

"It's okay, filius," replied the king.

"I'm sorry, Prince Fiske. I don't like you, and I'm going to marry Prince Cao."

"No!" Prince Fiske suddenly shouted, and they were surprised by his loud voice. "We are both princes! So, the fight should be fair!" he added.

"It's more unfair if I marry a man I don't love," she responded calmly.

"Princess Katsumi, do you remember what I told you when we first met?" Prince Fiske asked. 

"You are beautiful, Princess Katsumi. I love you, and when we grow up I will marry you," said Prince Fiske.

"Hmp! I will only marry the man I love!" She replied. 

"I'll marry you, you're mine! I'll kill all the men who like you!" he was angered and threatened her.

When she remembered that, she immediately looked at Prince Cao. He did not speak because he was not involved in the conversation. He isn't afraid, he's just an educated regis filius. Prince Fiske left with anger and disappointment.

"Basileus," is Prince Fiske threatening you?" Prince Cao asked, when the West Feral Sea native finally left.

"When the nuptias continue, they will declare a proelium. But don't worry, I am not afraid of his threat. I will not withdraw the agreed nuptias," the king said.

Prince Cao bid his goodbye. He will go home to their kingdom and will return on the day of their nuptias. Princess Katsumi led her amicus outside the big door of their kingdom.

"Cao, be careful," she told him .

"Bene facis," And he kissed his girlfriend's forehead.

While Prince Cao is swimming, he feels as if someone is following him. He swam faster to divert them. He immediately knew that the shokoys were following him. Furthermore, he was not afraid of them and prepared himself for the upcoming battle. He distanced himself from the shokoys, and immediately stopped and waited for them to attack. Five kilometers away, Prince Fiske stopped with ten henchmen.

"What do you need?" Prince Cao asked calmly.

"Your life!" It was a smiling response, but Prince Cao didn't move.

"Attack!" Prince Fiske immediately ordered the henchmen.

Prince Cao opened his two palms and created two powerful whirlwinds. When they got close, he immediately threw his weapon to spin. Everyone was swept away and flung far away, except for Prince Fiske, because he got away quickly.

"We're not done yet!" Prince Fiske shouted and quickly left the area.

"Coward!" Prince Cao said harshly, and barely smiled as he watched him swim away.

The day of the nuptials has arrived and Princess Katsumi is excited. She was happy while facing the big mirror while her famulus adjusted her.

"You look even more beautiful, Princess Katsumi," said one of her famulus with a smile.

"Bene facis!" She is happy with the response.

"The Adrape Khiarzugu Palace is here!" shouted the soldier from outside Princess Katsumi's room.

He quickly jumped up from where he was sitting, as if he couldn't wait to go. "Let's go!" At the same time she pulled the two famulus.

"Take it easy, Princess Katsumi!" Reminded her famulus.

When the new sprouts saw the appearance of their Princess Katsumi, they immediately danced in the middle of the hall. Prince Cao met his future mulier and held her hand. The two famulus came closer and had a large purple necklace hung around their necks, a sign of the union of breasts.

After the young mermaids and mermans finished dancing, they slowly walked towards the front. Where the bridegroom who will marry them is sitting. The ceremony has begun and the babaylan is currently speaking when the guests outside the kingdom suddenly scream.

"What happened?!" their Basileus asked in shock.

The guests inside the hall were screaming because of the series of explosions.

"Basileus! Basileus! The shokoys attack!" shouted a wounded soldier.

"Evacuate immediately!" the king commands to all the guests.

"Maku, Ima, move quickly!" Prince Cao ordered his parents.

"Let's go!" Princess Katsumi's father's statement to Prince Cao's parents.

"Exterminate everything and leave no one alive!" shouted Prince Fiske.

"Katsumi, escape now and I'll take care of it."

"No, Cao! The two of us will fight!"

Princess Katsumi ordered her two famulus and evicted the new sprouts. The conflict between the two kingdoms continues. Prince Fiske's attack, his father the king who didn't know.

The whole place was so bloody that it was almost impossible to see each other. Prince Cao and Princess Katsumi continue to fight, using their long swords. Prince Fiske suddenly appeared behind Prince Cao, and he smiled slightly and raised his long sword to stab. Princess Katsumi saw Prince Fiske's attack on her amicus, so she quickly swam to where Prince Cao was. She hugged him and quickly turned their bodies around.

"Katsumi!" exclaimed Prince Cao, because of his surprise.

"Cao…" Princess Katsumi said softly, she slowly raised her palm to touch the cheek of her amicus.

"Katsumi… Katsumi…" Prince Fiske said in panic as he let go of the sword that pierced through the bodies of the lovers.

Princess Katsumi's tears fall, as they turn into white pearls. Prince Cao's tears were the same, but his were black pearls.

"Cao, I love you so much. If it is true that there is a next life, I still want to meet you, stay with you and fall in love with you over again. If it's true, I wish we can marry each other again." She said with a smile. She is dying and she knows that it won't be long for her to stop breathing.
