The ancestral world was nice to sleep in. No dreams were out to prevent resting. No extra noises or discomfort. This place was awesome. I loved it.
Sophia left a couple of hours ago. It could be minutes. There was no way to tell time here. It did feel like a long time. I dozed off twice and she had not returned. As per my request, she left to gather information from the ancestors about where Queen Ophelia might have sent Craig. I just wanted to ensure he was okay. Once that has been ticked off the list, I would return home and get myself sorted out before Fenon's visit.Alex was yet to show up too. Which meant Amoria had not left for Fel's ceremony. That gave me peace of mind. I still had a little time left. Once everything went smoothly here, I would be able to have enough time to get all my priorities in order.Sophia returned with two mermaids. Though they had different appearances, their demeanor was similar. Out of the three women, Sophia was thKaugnay na kabanata

The island was under attack. It was still too early. Damn you, Fenon."What is our defense status?" I asked, desperately hoping we had enough manpower to fight off Fenon's guards.Mia thrust pieces of metal against my chest. "Please put this on, sir."This was it. I took too long to get to the friggin' treasure room. Even though time dwindled, I was still too careless."There are guards positioned to keep you dad at all cost, your majesty," Mia reported. "We don't have a lot of protection, so Martin and a few are trying to hold off the enemy from gaining access to the castle."Most of my guards were on their way here. Craig had managed to teleport some of them here before he left for his home. Still, we had the remaining traveling here via ship. Mia and Martin were even supposed to hire more guards. All those were supposed to be done before Fenon got here. We expected him to arrive later. Surely, the ceremony has not started yet

The time was here. The time for Princess Fesel to become a Queen. I was more than looking forward to this. We were not invited but because this Kingdom was allied to the Sea Witch Queen, we were given the privilege of getting a broadcast. We would not be able to view everything as when we would be in the City. Rumor has it that only the eyes of sorcerers were able to witness certain things. Why? I was still not sure about it.I never questioned it. The executives were the ones I had to talk to and it was odd that my mate never taught me these things. Their words, not mine. Of course, it was talked about when they thought I was not listening. Therefore, I limited the number of questions asked. These days all I did was eavesdrop. I admitted I was a bit clueless about being the Queen. Mitchalus was always busy and when he was not he avoided me. There was no other way to gain information.Hence, I fixed my schedule, so I, too, would be busy. It has helped a whole l

I spotted the first executive down the hall and requested an assembly of all the executives and guards migrated here from the Southern Pod. Before the ruin of our City Father had sent away most of our people to seek refuge at other Kingdoms. Most of those people have not returned yet. I was not willing to allow them to travel the sea since Fesel had not become Queen yet.Once she became the Sea Witch Queen and things were back to normal, I planned to clean up what was left of the Southern Kingdom, and rebuild it before summoning my people. Since Mitchalus and Fesel were such good friends, I was banking on that friendship to put to rest what happened in my Kingdom. For the sake of my people. I was looking forward to it since Mitchalus refused to speak to me. Things would be better once I lived in my Kingdom while he lived in his.Until then, King Marvelon needed my help. We were friends. Even if not for friendship, I had to do this for my King. To accomplish my

With our limited manpower, we were able to hold off the attackers from exiting the beach. I knew my guards were skilled but no way in hell did I realize they were this amazing. It like playing a freaking video game. Everyone was in tune with each other. Martin spat orders and everyone followed. Their strategy was phenomenal.Once someone in our team was injured, a new guard went out in the battle as a distraction while someone else helped the injured man off the battleground. When the enemy figured out our strategy, Martin came up with a new one. He was like a real commander. Just spitting ideas and making everything work. At one point, I pictured him leading an army.I would have been a great asset to this battle if my men would just let me participate. Fenon was not here as yet. Everyone wanted me to be ready when he came. If I helped now, my energy level would be depleted. I needed to be at full strength to face the bastard."How many men do we ha

Martin's older brother Terranean was a cool guy. He was way too chill towards the circumstances we were in. I would be lying if I said his behavior did not have me being a little relaxed. One thing for sure this guy had a thing for fruits. He kept repeating that they were the only land delectable that could be eaten underwater. I had to give it to him there. He was flat out right about that. Still, I thought his love for fruits was because they could be used beneath the ocean. He seemed to brighten up at the mention of those fruits.Of course, it had to take a merman to appreciate those little things we didn't when we were on land. Which had me thinking back to the merfolks diet. I couldn't help but wonder if fish was all they consumed. Raw fish. All day every day. No wonder they liked other things with flavors. Things that were cooked and sauteed in seasoning and sauces. Even in this case, fruit was a prized possession.I figured when I invited them all over,

Little by little the atmosphere started to feel less calm and more chaotic. The enemy has retreated to the other side of the beach. Still, the air was filled with tension as we all waited for what was next to come. The cool breeze turned into a hostile wind, whipping the trees from left to right. Black clouds covered the sky. The sea was anything but calm.It had begun. Without being there, I could tell by the behavior of the ocean. It was excited, crashing waves as high as a hill into each other. A new Queen was being chosen. That was enough to be excited about. The only sad part of this ceremony was that the previous Queen would die. I wanted to speak with her one last time. Everyone knew her as the 'wicked Queen' and maybe she was. She did send her child away to be alone forever. But, I saw her as a lonely mermaid, who was afraid. If only we had time, maybe she would have forgiven Craig for leaving her and she would bring him back. We could have worked as a family. One

We were ready. Arrangements were made. Strategies and planning were made. Everything was organized. All my men were piped. The environment was even more riled up than before. The sky and the ocean mirrored each other with the same black and harsh behavior. Regardless, we waited.I changed into this ridiculous armor thing. It was uncomfortable but helped to protect me. I didn't have my crown nor my trident but I didn't want to leave my men alone to get it. There was no telling what would happen if I took too long. I needed to face Fenon before this started. One last time. I had to give my all, not just for myself or Fel but for my people.Lightning pierced through the sky, lashing out on the ocean. With each slash, the water got rougher. None hit the island or the trees.Then within a blink of an eye, everything went still."Is it done?" Aegean asked. "It looks like the ceremony is complete."Aqualia gazed up at the sky. "That's

"Have you decided to give up?" Fenon asked when he stopped in front of me.I chuckled. "That is not why I'm here. I want to talk about our situation.""Is that so?""Yes. I know that you want to protect your daughter, but don't you think this is taking it a little too far? She is now the Queen and has the authority to do as she pleases. We don't have to fight. In fact, this is an opportunity for us both. I admit I'm young and don't know many things. And, that is why it will be best if we work together. I will give you enough authority to do as you please. Hell, you'll be my right-hand man if you want to. Your daughter will stay protected under your command. What do you say?"This was the best I had to offer. Merfolks considered me a baby. If I had an older royalty by my side like a mentor, they would feel safer. Two heads were better than one. Fenon had good intentions. He yearned for the betterment of his people. I, too, wanted that
