Third POV

"I...will accept your offer.." Xero said

"You have made the right choice your highness, now give me a second"Zelou said with a sly smile as he swim to his shelve full of potion and weird ingredients from eyeballs to dead animals

He took the potion and went back to where Xero was
"Now your highness, I present to you the humania,
Once you drink this, your tail would be gone and will transform into a pair of legs but there's a catch to it,if your lover that your looking for, did not kiss you after 1 week,you'll be turned into dust"Zelou explained

"You got to be kidding me..,first my voice and then my life?!" Xero said as he grasp his Trident tightly

"Well your highness i-"

"That's enough for today, I'll be heading back to the castle" Xero said
As he swim out and left with a carriage

"Your highness is everything alright?" His royal advicer questioned

"No, nothing is right" Xero replied

"Well you do know you can use your Trident given by your father to turn your tail into a pair of legs"

"..."Xero went silent, making the atmosphere awkward

"F-forgive me your highness, I shouldn't have said something insensitive" the royal advicer apologize
But Xero was still silent

The carriage stopped, Xero swam out of his carriage and went in his castle and sat on his throne in the throne room,

As the royal advicer got off the carriage
One of the guards nodge her

"Your really lucky today, haven't you heard what happen to our actual king,king Golven ? He has been killed by him, Prince Xero now as King Xero
It's like the rules our citizen has does not apply to him" the royal guard said

"Hey,also another thing you gotta know, the trident his holding also belongs to his father, King Golven but his unable to use all the powers in the trident as it's been sealed as they didn't do the crown ceremony which will break the seal, allowing him to use all of its powers , rumor has it that the seal is now locked so tightly, because of King Golven blood staining the trident for a few minutes" the other guard said

"Ah yes I heard about the seal, only once the ceremony is carry out the seal of the old owner will be removed and the new owner seal will be placed well thank you for the information, I'll have to be more careful with what I'll say and do next time" she said as she walked in the castle

"Oh you better be.." the guard said

"And if you still wanna know more,you can talk to the maid, gaidia, she has seen everything with her naked eyes" he said

The royal advicer has no comments and continues swimming off into the castle

All she know is that her only job here is to give King Xero advices but for some reason...

She swim and looked up to see King Xero sitting on the throne
While holding a small sea flower
Twirling it inbetween his fingers

Despite the rumours

It made her smile

And what he have done...

Xero notice her
"Teresa" he called her

She was falling for him, each day...

[Teresa? , Why is she here?
