Chapter 2

"P-please have mercy! Your Imperial Highness!" shouted Bay as she was dragged out by the guards.

"Tch. How rude." said Adair. "Are you okay, Laguna? Aileen?"

"Yes, Imperial Brother. Thank you." said both the young mermaids at the same time.

"Wonderful!" said Sabrynn joyfully. "Come, young ladies! Let us have a wonderful time together!"

"Of course!"

At the land.

"Hey! Alistair!"

"Oh! Hey, Yun!" greeted Alistair, a painter.

"What are you going to paint now?" asked Yun.

"I'm not quite sure... " replied Alistair. "But! Yesterday, I dreamt of a mermaid!"

"Holy! Are you going to paint the mermaid?" asked Yun as he takes a bite of his bread.

"Maybe... "

"Well! Good luck with your painting! I need to go, my sister is going to beat me up if I'm late again!" said Yun as he runs to his sister's shop while waving his hand. "See you soon, Alistair!"

"Bye!" shouted Alistair.

Alistair picked up a paintbrush and started to paint the mermaid he dreamt of. Her sparking tail, and her silver hair were drawn perfectly by Alistair. The ocean background was full of beautiful details, shining seashells, small fishes, and other things that is required. Alistair was satisfied with his newly finished work.

"Nice!"

Soon, Alistair picked up his art supplies, he went back home. As he walks through the crowd. He suddenly felt a belonging sense to the nearby seaside. It's as if he longed for someone he truly loved. But he ignored it.

Alistair arrived at his home.

"I'm home." said Alistair as he takes off his shoes.

No one replied him.

Quite obvious.

He lived alone after all. No one was there to greet him home. Alistair loved this silence, but at the same time, he despised it.

"Where are we going, Lady Sabrynn?" asked both princesses.

"To our garden, of course!" replied Sabrynn as she twirls around in excitement. "I'd like to show you my seashell collection!"

The ladies had arrived. It was an exquisite sight. Shimmering seashells, beautiful trinkets are everywhere. You couldn't compare any jewels to this garden. The beauty is beyond compare.

"How beautiful!" exclaimed Aileen while cupping her face with both her hands.

"Yes!" giggled Laguna while swimming towards the seashells. "You have a lot of seashells, Lady Sabrynn!"

"I know! Feel free to collect them, Adair said I collected too many seashells, haha." said Sabrynn while picking up some seashells to give it to the princesses.

"Thank you!!"

The three of them chatted through the ball. They're laughing and giggling about the mermen in their life.

"Aileen, what's your type?" asked Sabrynn chuckling.

"I'm not sure, but he should be kind... and caring towards the elders and children." said Aileen. "And he should always be respectful and loyal!"

"Your type is quite similar to mine!" said Sabrynn. "Your brother is indeed a respectful and loyal merfolk!"

"What about you, Laguna?" asked Aileen.

"I'm not interested in marriage, I wish to be single for the rest of my life..." sighed Laguna. "The mermen here isn't really my preference. Maybe vowing to be a maiden is a great idea... "

"Whatever you chose, We'll support you, Laguna!" giggled Sabrynn.

"Thank you... " mumbled Laguna smiling.
