The Werewolf's Mermaid Mate
Chapter 4
Serina's POV
I'm now sitting on a royal chair that contains pearls that glows and rare corals that can only be seen at the deepest of caves. Infront of me are different varies of foods that can fill the whole east coast of the kingdom. And yet more and more squid servants are placing food by the rather long table that can fit 100 Mer people.
At the head is my dad with his very famous golden trident that's glowing with light blue color indicating how much it radiates power and beside him is my loving mother who's eating very poise and proper. Too proper for my liking.
"Serina, straight body." My mom said elegantly as she eats her soup with all the time in the world. I do as she command without a thought.
"Serina, chin up." My mom said once again making me grunt in response but nontheless, I still follow her.
"Serina, stomach in, chest out." Mom is not even looking from her soup yet she knows what I was doing! Again, I followed her.
"Serina-"
"Mom please stop. I just want to eat in peace." I said not letting any irritation drip from my voice. Mom didn't respond or look up. She simply ignore me. Like always whenever dad is in the room.
Dad wouldn't like it if I got spoiled by mom.
"The leaders of North, East, West and South Seas are coming this year for the royal ball." Dad announced with so much authority that the squids around us back away a little. It doesn't affect a royal that much.
"Yes, I know." I said softly and started munching on my seaweeds.
"But were gonna do something different else entirely this year." Dad said earning the attention of mom and I. We look at dad curiously awaiting for his answer patiently just like mom teach me.
"The prince of each sea will fight for your rightful hand."
I froze at my dad's words not caring that the glass silver soon I was holding drop to the gleaming white sand as it shatter into pieces copying my thoughts. I try to speak but nothing came out of my mouth. My whole body seems as if its been shot by Zues bolts hitting me directly to my core paralyzing me to no end.
Dad told me when I was younger that everything he do will always benefit me or mom and as 16 years pass he kept that promise although it irrtates me sometimes. Now, I think he just broke his promise just like the spoon I drop.
"Dear, are you sure?" Mom ask placing her delicate hands on top of my dad's. She look astonished as I was. I really do apprciate that she's stepping in for me for the first time.
At most times, mom wouldn't object to any of dad's decisions. He do made the Atlantis as it is now and look, its the most beautiful ocean palace in the entire world. Dad's decisions were always right and always for the good but the problem is, I cant see anything good in what his doing today. He is a God after all, shouldn't he know that this just cross the line? That this just reach the point where I want to burst and curse? That I want to run away and never look back?
"I'm very sure. They will be here in 3 days and I already talk to the royal advisers about it. They are already preparing a grand party and the obstacles that each prince will go through in order to have Serina's hand." Dad explain throughly without missing a beat. Its like he read it out of a script and that made me even madder. So he planned this? So much for freedom...
I didn't know I was crying by the time my dad stop explaining. Without hesitation, I stood from my seat, head to the dolphin room and ride my dolphin. I use my power to make my dolphnin's fins glow and it work like a charm.
