Candy of glass voice

*Aurora POV*

Walking as fast as I could just to get done with the things it has given me off to do. The white dress reaches just below my knees, blue sleeveless woollen blouse upon the dress with the pair of stalking and black sandals. Hair tied into a high pony with a flower clip on it. Not to forget a napkin tied around my neck to hide the scar.

Carrying the two bags in one hand and in other the list of things left to buy or receive from the shop. Go to shoe shop, then jewellery shop, fruit shop, Species shop, now finally the cloths shop. After that, it's done for today, right?

Just to buy the list of things on the list given to me, even receive the things from the shops as May has already given order. Why there isn't any kind of home delivery things that I just have to walk all the way there. Maybe travelling vehicles like a cycle? Maybe as the area is to way crowded, so the cars won't be able to run in this narrow ally.

Looking back to see merman still following me, looking around with his mouth wide open. For today I have tied his hair in a high ponytail, few locks of his hair on either side of his face. White shirt with its two buttons which left open. Carrying 4 bags either side of his hands, well he is like every girl's dream come true.

Sleeves pulled above his elbow with a black pant and black boots. Looking back towards his face, hair reaching down below his knees, I had to tie a small bun then leaving the hair down below.

Remind me later this dude really needs a haircut, it takes an hour to tie his hair as its way longer than mine. Kind of reminds me of Rapunzel thou sing a song of the magical hair spell to bring back the youth.

Standing in front of the clothing store it was an enormous store with the glass gigantic windows and door. They put the clothes on display of both men and women. Staring towards the black and purple long dress a white colour beautiful flower in the middle of the chest. Along with white pearl belt around the waist, with full sleeves lose at the end.

Along beside them, there were many beautiful dresses I have only seen in anime and dramas. I want them all just imagine wearing them new ones every day and posting it in social media would make me go boom. Well, it sucks there are no social media here first off, no cell phone here. Still, I want them all.

'So pretty' I thought

Taking a deep breath as we entered the shop which was crowded where I had to push my way inside of the shop. Turning my head back to look towards the merman just to see him walking freely as people gave him space so he could walk freely, a perfect example of royal treatment. ..

What am I, a freeking pumpkin rat that you all didn't-whatever it's making me feel like he is the king and I'm some kind of maid? Wait nowadays I'm being treated that way to one place where I didn't have an option and here kind of I had to make myself a caretaker of this kid merman.

Signing in response, turning back towards the owner is in his late 50s. His grey-white hair and long beard and hazel colour eyes turn towards us when he hears murmurs behind him.

"Oh! Daisy and Arthur you both have finally arrived I was waiting for you both" as he laughed at the end walking towards us giving a hard pat on merman's back making him stumble few steps further as I chuckle.

Smiling in response as I handed him the list as he was reading it, he took the ink pen ticking on the items as he handed the list back.

After two days May was the one who gave us a tour around the town, as almost or all whoever stays in here knows us both. A kind of most beautiful guy who seems like a prince charming with his long hair and so tall beautiful grey arrived in the town with a mute girl said to be his wife?

'What a grand description of me pathetic' Rolling my eyes breathing out still hearing gossip behind my back.

"Is she really his wife? Doesn't she seems more like a maid?"

"You are right, maybe he must be a prince and she must be a maid to hide their identity, they are acting like husband and wife"

"You are correct why a prince charming like him will marry a plain-looking girl like oh god her terrifying. A kind of horrid dog witch. Maybe she did black magic on him."

I can feel my left eye twisting in anger, closing my eyes as I rubbing my tempest lips shut in a tight line.

'Only if I knew how to do it, I would have made you a kind of horrid dog or a lizard is best it will terrify you looking at yourself in mirror wait you already I guess'

Opening my eyes back up as I felt a tug on the side of my dress just to see merman looking down at me with the uncomfortable look on his face. As I shake my head up and down moving my hand side giving him a sign of what happened.

As if he understood what I was trying to say by giving him sign looking behind as he points out towards the group of girls. This thing can never get old. Rolling my eyes as I caught his hand into mine, warping my fingers around his. As I can hear the girls gasp behind us as I pulled him beside me.

Well, these small things were to say intimidating at least rather than them troubling this merman now I have their attention too.

"Here it is Daisy" I smiled looking towards the old man as mouthing him thank you, "Yes, yes Oh boy have a save journey," he said as he pats Arthur back almost making him fall forward with him. With that, I wave bye to him before walking out of the shop, dragging the merman along with me.

'Ah, what a pain gossip here can't hard to ignore'

As usual, as nightfall, I did my night shift today in the hotel. Today is way more crowded than normal days. As today is some kind of festival in the town. So everyone is out enjoying their time with their families and friends.

Well, looking down at the last to see everything ticked. So that means it's done for the day. Well, today it's going to be a busy day as I heard that today is the day of the festival, some kind of firework festival?

As I have usually read about it but never seen in this life or my previous I really want to go tho but as today we will open the shop outside in the field so that without missing their meals we all can enjoy their food time.

I felt a tug against my hand only to pull back as I bumped against the merman. Just to see back he has stopped walking, looking on the left side following his gaze to see him looking towards the sweet shop.

Well, I didn't know merman had a quite kind of sweet tooth. I pulled his hand down so I could grab his attention towards me. Raising my bow, giving him a questioning look, only made him look back at the sweet shop.

Signing in response as I walked towards the sweet shop as I don't have the energy to take in his tantrums of tug of war really I have to find another way around a shortcut or even if it's long cut, I'm ok with it. Basically, a tug of war and this duckling is strong.

Walking inside of the shop filled with kids and their parents, "oh see it's them" the voices started to mummer as kids were staring at us with aw as if they are seeing something precious.

'Just get the candy and get the hell out of here then it's done' Smiling at the little girl smiling at her just to see as she removed her purple candy tongue teasing at me rolling my eyes in response.

Glaring at the kid stood in front of me as I made a face as if I'm going to bite her. Just to see as fear filled her eyes running away from me hiding behind her mother just to see her mother glaring towards me.

I gave a light wave and an awkward smile as she just walks away out of the shop. Well what things can get worst it's already is as I just want to pull my hair off now.

Looking towards merman who already has selected his favourite candy and enjoying it. He smiles looking towards me smiling back in response as I opened my pouch of money to pay the cashier who was a young girl.

Removing the coins from the before I could place it on her hand just right beside me a glass of candy jar fell down suddenly making me jump out of my skin as the kid was standing behind it. With that, he was extending his hand to pick up the round candies from the ground, which have also surrounded by the glasses.

With that, the kid picked up the small round candy along with the small piece of glass stuck on it. As he opened his mouth to eat it making my eyes goes wide. Bending down as I snatched away the candy from his hand just makes him cry louder. Before I could react to what is happening someone picked the kid in their arm.

"How dare you touch my kid!!" the voice screamed as the kid cried in her arm. I shake my head no in response, opening my mouth to explain to her just to close it again as I grind my teeth together in response.

"You got no words were you trying to steal my child, my son, how dare you" she screamed shanking my head no I can feel my heart in my palm as the people gathered around us.

"Ma'am it's not what it looks like she-" the girl who was the owner stood beside me trying to explain only to cut off by the women.

"It's not what it looks like then what does it looks like huh it's my son who was getting kidnap!!!" she yelled raising her voice looking around just to the crowded even formed outside of the shop as the people peeked inside of the shop too.

"Ma'am it was your son who dropped the jar-"

"Oh, now you are blaming at my son who was the one who just to get himself kidnapped huh… are you with her too huh you girl are you running some kind of kidnapping guild here into this town"

What they did she lost her brain or what doesn't she knows that who am I. As everyone in this town knows us maybe she is one tourist.

"You come with me I will take to the town Mayor the thing you did I won't let you get off easily," she hissed glaring at me.

Wait, what did she say?

Her hand wraps around my wrist tightly, as if she is just going to snap it at any moment. With that, she tugs me with her only to pull back. A hand caught her wrist before she could pull any further.

"How dare you touch her," a deep voice said as I look towards the lady in front of me, looking beside me with her mouth wide open. Turning my head to where she was looking just to see the merman stood beside me glaring down at the lady.

He opened his mouth tracing every word of what he added in a deep low voice sending a shiver through me. I can feel the lady must have felt the shiver too.

"Let her go now!"

This brat can really speak, what more things I have left to see or hear is this some kind of the fantasy world or what well I guess maybe it is. I'm about to beat this bi**h up as he took me for a fool or what.
