"I'll be back," Thyrian said and I nodded. I knew he needed to catch up with his parents and talk about the kingdom.
I balanced myself and managed to stand on the ground, even though there was clearly heavy water pressure...I didn't float.
Just then, a female mermaid bathed in light swam up. "How did you and Thyrian meet?" she cut to the chase, her cold eyes boring into mine as I gazed at her from head to toe.
"Are you one of his admirers?" I asked, and watched as her lips trembled.
"No!" she snapped, and I raised a brow, moving closer.
"Then who are you?" I asked, and her lips softened.
"I'm his fiancée. I was deemed to marry him since the very day he was born," she said proudly, raising her chin, and I couldn't help but scoff, even though I was deep in thought.
