Arc 6 Chapter 6.5 ( The little mermaid and the Marshal )

Zone suddenly panicked and his expression softened. He smiled wryly and looked at the little mermaid tenderly. "Sorry, do I look scary?"

The little mermaid stopped crying and nodded slowly. Zone burst into laughter, hugged the basin, and rubbed the top of the merman's head with his fingertips.

Zone lifted the basin and stepped out of his room . He smiled at the little mermaid and spoke.  " From now on , you'll be called Rian . "

The golden haired mermaid propped himself on the edge of the basin and stared at the marshal . " I'm Rian . "

" Yes "

Rian muttered his name repeatedly looking so cute and adorable until they arrived at a pool . " Your dwelling is already completed . "

This pool is not an ordinary pool . There's a device attached to it that artificially creates waves like how the sea water moves . There is also a soil layed below and sea plants dancing along the waves . Shells , Clams , little fishes , shrimps , sea horses and etc. swam in the artificial sea . The little mermaid was attracted by the appearance of the pool who doesn't look like a pool anymore . Zone really payed a lot of attention about the place he's going to inhabit .

Rian had thought that Zone didn't visit him these past few days was because he already lost interest on him . He didn't expect that he was actually also busy arranging his dwelling . Rian's eyes staring at Zone became more appreciative and loving causing Zone's face to darken .

He wanted to swallow Rian whole this time .

But he can't ... He is still tiny .

Let him grow a bit more before they do that .

Zone released the mermaid into the pool . He spent quite a lot of money designing this pool but he was already satisfied with this . " Was the pool to your liking? "

Rian smiled brightly and nodded his head . " Yes! Thank you!!! "

Zone crouched down beside the pool and leaned over . " How about giving your marshal a reward? "

Rian blinked his eyes in confusion. " What reward? "

" A Kiss "

" A kiss!!!!!? " Rian screamed and covered his little lips subconsciously .

Zone pouted in disappointed . " You don't want to? "

Rian blushed then shyly shook his head . " Human , I'm shy . "

" Just call me marshal . "

Rian nodded . " Marshal , I'm shy ."

Zone chuckled and grinned like a play boy . " You don't need to be shy . We're the only people here . No one can see us . "

Zone stating such words that way made it sound like they were having a secret affair .

The guy who was in charge of monitoring . " ... " I'm blind ...

Who would have expected that their Marshal was this shameless when alone? They were used to see his domineering , cold personality .

But who is this playboy taking advantage of a little mermaid he is seeing im the monitor ?

" Come on , give this marshal a kiss . "

The little mermaid wriggled his body like a shy maiden then slowly swam to the edge of the pool before giving the marshal a quick peck on the cheeks . When the marshal suddenly moved and caught his lips .

"!!!! " Rian

The little mermaid immediately swam away in panicked while blushing furiously . Zone felt the fluctuations in the soul contract and burst out of laughter .

" Hahahaha , little guy! You're so cute . "

A week had already passed , the crown prince:s reputation in the masses was damaged when the news of the incident hotel spread out . Tres , Doze and Uno got busy answering prescons and interviews from the media and felt dry and fatigue .

The three slouch themselves on their respective sofas and snored . The three then slowly closed their eyes to take a rest . Not long after they fell asleep . A bob cut woman suddenly opened the door and silently stared at a sleeping man .

" Yes , that's him . " A blonde woman suddenly appeared behind the bob cut woman .

Shen Ai , now reincarnated inside a female soldier teared up and covered her mouth . " He's really Li Xing? "

Shi Yuanjun hummed nonchalantly . She was however , disappointed seeing no Shade in the group . She was unfamiliar with the other two but she knew Tres .

Shen Ai opened the door completely and entered the room . The whole room was quiet and only the snores of the three could be heard . When the sound of the door creaking rang out , the trio immediately woke up from their sleep .

Then , a quiet sob suddenly resonated in the room . The footsteps turned near towards Tres' direction as the woman who is currently crying suddenly hugged Tres .

Tres immediately sat up from shock when he saw someone suddenly hugging him . " Who are you? "

Shen Ai's red rimmed eyes suddenly came into his sight . Tres widened his eyes and stared at her dazedly .

" Why did you left me? " Shen Ai's agrrieved voice rang out waking up the tranced Tres .

Shen Ai ... Tres couldn't believe she is here . Tres' hands trembled and touched her cheeks .

Real!!!! She's real!!! Tres widened his eyes in shock .

" Shen Ai? "

Shen Ai nodded and started shedding gears of joy . " You did not forget me? "

" You're my wife , of course not.  Where's our son? "

Shen Ai paused then slowly shook her head . " He's still alive and i'm already dead . "

Trs felt distressed for her and hugged her tightly.  " I'm sorry , Shen Ai . "

While Tres met Shen Ai . Zone was currently busy teasing with the little mermaid . This happy bonding however was shattered when the news came that the crown prince sent a message that he's on the way to his house .

Zone hearing the news from the soldier paused his movements of feeding the mermaid as his eyes turned cold .

" He disgusts me , while does he still have the nerve to visit me when he was the one who requested the emperor to be engaged with me , yet he's so shameless as to even promise someone else to marry? "

" Does he think this marshal is a fool? "

Zone put down the spoon rudely creating a resounding noise. The heart of the soldier to almost jumped to his throat .

Rian also flinched in surprise and looked at Zone weirdly . Zone noticed his gaze and realized that he forgot that the little mermaid was actually still around . He immediately softened his expression and rubbed his head intimately . " I'm sorry , are you surprised? "

Rian nodded then shook his head . "  Yes ... Ahh no no . "

Zone smiled and lifted the basin . " Let's see what this crown prince has to say . "

Rian flicked his tail and swam around the basin . " Are you talking about the Jiro that cheated on you? "

" No , he's actually a fake.  "

" Then why did you cry? "

Zone tapped on the basin while walking towards the living room. " It's because i thought he was Jiro and then only now did i realized that he actually just possessed similar face as my Jiro . "

When they arrived at the living room . A door bell suddenly rang out from the gate . The soldiers immediately opened the gate and let the crown prince enter the Marshal's mansion .

The front door suddenly opened as the crown prince strode inside . Zone paused and looked at the arrogant prince and faintly sneered before sitting down on a sofa while hugging a basin . No one could believe that a highly respected person like him would be seen hugging a basin instead of a sword in his own house .

" What makes you visit this Marshal's humble house? Your highness . "

Carlo sat down and looked at the marshal . This omega has a pair of silver irisless eyes that made him look mysterious yet at the same time creepy and unapproachable , but this kind of eyes only makes everyone who stared right into his eyes to become tranced as if bewitched .

Zone frowned seeing the crown prince in a trance and couldn't help hitting his palm on the wooden table . The resounding noise suddenly woke the crown prince up and flinched .

" You're here to apologize right? "

Carlo blinked and nodded . " That's right , i apologize for ruining your welcome banquet . Marshal , please forgive me for my uncourteous behavior last time . "

Zone narrowed his eyes at the alpha and suddenly smiled . " Ok ... I forgive you . "

Carlo widened his eyes in shock and inwardly sneered thinking how the marshal easily forgave him . However , remembering the damage these marshal had caused just because of a mere anger , Carlo didn't dare to provoke the marshal .

Zone immediately pacified his little mermaid and looked coldly at the prince . " Don't think that i didn't know what you're scheming . Your highness . "

Carlo frowned and chuckled . " What are you talking about , your excellency. "

Zone pointed at Carlo's body and scrunched his face . " Your highness , I'm afraid to tell this to you . "

" Do you know that I'm particularly sensitive to drugs? "

" !!! " Carlo widened his eyes and stared in surprise at Zone .

Zone smiled gently . " Even if i indeed smelled the hidden drugs . I won't particularly go into heat , your highness . "

Hidden under your face who seems to have no ill intention was actually a brain full of dirty schemes . Zone felt disgusted and scrunched his face boldly .

" You may take your leave now . Your highness . "

" No-- "

" Go "

" ... "

Carlo stump his feet in anger and rudely stepped out of the house while closing the door with a bang .

Zone closed Rian's eyes and whispered into his ears.  " Don't learn from him . "

Rian nodded obediently . Seeing his cute appeared Zone chuckled and kissed his cheeks .

Rian blushed .
