"Princess!".
I let go of Valerie, and turn towards the guard who was in my room earlier.
"Yes? What news do you have of the Diru? Was anyone hurt?", I have so many more questions but Valerie puts a hand on my shoulder instructing me to let the guard talk.
"No, no one was hurt", he takes a breath. "After you left, the beast looked at us and then swam out of your room in the blink of an eye".
"Well as long as no one was hurt, and everyone is safe", I say still shooken up.
"To be honest princess, no one is safe", the guard whispers.
No one is safe.
I'm not safe.
"Oh Princess! There you are". A plump merwoman was swimming towards us with rosy cheeks and a grin on her face.
"I have been looking for you, we have prepared a feast to celebrate the remaining time you have left with us", the woman keeps the grin present.
I think about not attending and having Valerie tell everyone that I am feeling ill. No. I need to distract myself. I should be enjoying the remaining time I have left with my people, with Val, and not to mention my tail.
I throw on the best smile that I can and say, "Of course! We will follow you there".
