Home Sickness

Rose held to Atlas's hand as the guards yelled their arrival at the Palace, she saw the faces of Merpeople up close and she felt even more anxious. Atlas saw her uneasiness and looked at her with soft smile and happy face

"I'm right here" he whispered, Rose looked at him and nodded then followed him inside were Snipper, Cory, Corial, Mespia and Alienda stood arguing.

"There you are!!!! Tell me what is the meaning of this new bride of yours when you have one right here!!!!" Corial yelled at her son

"Whoever I marry isn't up to you" Atlas gave a calm and cold answer

"Are you out of your mind?!!! She is a nobody and Mespia comes from a very respectable family that could bring more Mesiance ( Ocean empire currency) in the Royal Family!"

"I will not argue with you!!! Snipper take the Former Queen to her Chambers!!!" Snipper bowed and took Corial away yelling with her voice

"Welcome back your Majesty, I hope your travels were wonderful" Mespia said bowing in a respectful way

"I heard your vulgar language about my new bride and if I were you I would not show my face in front of me" Atlas said coldly

"This way please" Cory said taking her out

"Alienda please take Rose to her new room" Rose let go of his hand and followed her away from Atlas.

'I honestly was feeling better when Atlas let me go, holding his hand made me feel like I was a sceptor for his royal craziness. I followed Alienda which she had a beautiful name to my room which looked amazing. My mouth hung open wide even though I was under water my excitement rose even more.

"If you need anything please just pull the seaweed and I'll come" Alienda bowed and left now leaving me alone in this huge room, A big Pearl bed, a balcony and how do these people shower. I feel a little alone in this huge place of no humans, it's all too much and all alone for me

The Evening in the Enticia Empire was cool and calm, Raden sat in his desk trying to start his letter for Tiana and he had writers block

He didn't know were to start or how so he looked at his feather pen and ink pot for a while

'Dear Tiana, It was a pleasure to spend time with you today and I was wondering if we could do it again' Raden smiled as he put it in the envelope and said

"Sent" then disappeared slowly then gone, once it was gone there was knock at the door

"Andrew you can come in" but no one walked in

"Hello?" Raden opened the door and guards stood waiting for him

"The Queen needs to speak with you" the guards took Raden without permission to the East Wing of the Palace, this happens every day or evening when the Queen wants Raden to use

"Bow before her majesty" Raden was pushed to the ground but got to his knees

"When Aeros told me of your visit to the Thyler Mansion I found it very suspicious" Her black hair was in a tight bun, her green eyes looked very distant and disappointed while she didn't look very old but young,

"I went to visit the young Lady of the Mansion"

Raden said

"Did Mother ask you to speak?!!!" Aeros came in the room

"My darling welcome" The Queen said

"Mother" Aeros kissed her ring finger then stood at her side

"The second daughter of Thyler is asleep and has been since a day ago, you couldn't have met the younger daughter today but the older daughter who has been spoken for" the Queen said

"I admit my mistake" Raden said

"Good, that means you must not ever see Lady Tiana"

"Yes your majesty"

"And if you lie again, I will make sure you never see the light of day"

Atlas sat down on his throne as he begin to think about his new Bride Rose, She was very delicate and different from the other humans but he didn't trust yet.

"Your Majesty, are you sure to trust your new bride?" Snipper asked as him and Corey came to the throne room

"You know my lines, she must do something to earn my trust rather than my love"Atlas said

"And everyone knows you don't love anyone" Corey said

"But We'll see if she can win both" Atlas smiled

I sat in the corner of the room Atlas gave me, I missed my home the one I. Reality maybe when this book ends I'll go home

"Why are you in the corner?" I looked up to find Atlas on the other corner of the couch

"Oh hi" I shyed back into my arms

"You were very demanding in the cave, what made you change your mind?" Atlas asked

"It was just you and me there but now I'm in a strange place with many different Merpeople and the only Human" Rose said sadly

"So why were you drowning? I watched you fall in to the Ocean"

"I was trying to save my family"

"Save? By killing yourself?"

"Yes"

"Why?"

"Promise you won't kill me?"

"Now why would I do that?"

"I have god Mana" I watched Atlas's eyes turn from relaxation to worry when he heard about my mana

"god Mana? And you aren't lying to me?"

"Why would I lie to you? I followed you here and you think I will lie no wonder no one will marry you"

"Now your demanding, back to normal"

"So you believe me?"

"Show me your god Mana"

"I don't know how to control it"

"Give me your hand" Atlas gave out his hand to me wanting me to take it and I did

"I can sense the Mana flow and maybe, just maybe...." Atlas was quiet for a minute then he looked at me

"You were true to your word, I believe you but I don't trust you yet" Atlas left my room quickly I don't know why but that conversation with made me thought he actually cared just a little

Tiana woke up and started her day, got dressed in her training clothes and had breakfast with Father before he went to his office. Spending her morning training on the grounds not knowing she was being watched till she threw an arrow at him.

"Oh your majesty" Tiana liked at Aeros who had missed the arrow but instead of greeting her well

"Why did you spend time with my brother?" He asked mad

"Whoever I spend time with is no one if your business!!!"

"Well have you forgotten your manners as a woman not to raise your voice"

"But have you forgotten that I am your fiancé"

Aeros raised his hand to slap Tiana

"Don't touch her!!!" Aeros looked in the direction which was Raden standing there
