008. Lies
The colorful fish in the ocean were spitting bubbles and gathering to look at them.
As the son of the sea god, Triton certainly understood what nasty things they said behind Medusa's back. After glaring at them, these small fish and shrimps scattered and left.
But Triton's entire attention was always on her hands. Instead of stopping, she began to push the issue further.
"Medusa, you... stop it!"
However, his breath was so weak, his thick and powerful tail began to swing rapidly, and his whole body was covered with a light pink layer.
Medusa tilted her head in an innocent manner. "Ah... I just wanted to touch your tail. After all, I've never seen a mermaid as beautiful as you before. Triton, you wouldn't object, would you?"
His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and even his breathing became rapid. Even though Triton did not agree, the little hands could not wait to touch the part of the mermaid's body that was covered with gorgeous scales.
Triton's tail fin was slightly transparent, like a scattered flower. The scales on its tail were unique, deep blue with a faint metallic sheen. At the same time, that was where the muscles were most developed and sensitive, not to mention that she was about to touch...
He suddenly surged violently, and the waves almost made Medusa lose her balance. Before she could react, his entire body was five meters away from her.
Triton was like a fish in a steamer, almost cooked. He looked at her helplessly, "Medusa, you can't do this."
Medusa reluctantly withdrew her hand, and her expression immediately became lost and depressed. Anyone who saw it would not be able to bear to blame her. "I'm sorry, it's my fault."
“…No, that’s not what I meant.”
Triton suddenly felt a little guilty. She was just an innocent girl on land. If it weren't for her father, Medusa might never have come to the ocean and would still be a naive and respected priestess of Athena.
She just wanted to touch her own fish tail. What did this matter compared to the harm her father had caused her?
So, he swam slowly towards her, his tail slightly arched, as if ready to die. "You can touch it."
Medusa couldn't help but laugh again. Her rosy lips were plump and translucent, and her full lips were slightly upturned, yet with a bit of childishness. Her curved eyebrows and eyes seemed to have stars falling into them, sparkling, so beautiful that it didn't seem like something that existed in this world.
However, when her hand fell on his fish tail again, Triton's mind couldn't help but think of his mother's request before he left - to kill her.
How is that possible?
But even if Triton knew he wouldn't do that, what if his mother sent someone else to do it?
Then, how will the poor and innocent Medusa face all this?
…
She was distracted for a moment, and when she regained consciousness, she found that he had reached out and held her slightly cold slender wrist.
"Medusa..." Their lips touched, and he murmured her name in a hoarse voice.
The smooth, white skin of Medusa in his hand seemed to tremble slightly. She was obviously very nervous. She wanted to pull her hand back and even frowned in confusion.
But at that moment, the suppressed emotions in Triton's heart suddenly surged like a huge wave. The impulse made him unable to think about the consequences he would face. His hands became stronger and stronger, and he looked at her deeply, "... Come with me."
“……?!”
Seeing Medusa's look of doubt, he took her hands in his and held them in his hands, looking at her hesitantly, "I know you were forced by your father, but you don't really want to do this, right?"
"You don't know, Medusa! If you continue to stay in this sea, you will be in danger. But as long as you come with me, we can go to the unknown sea. There will be only the two of us there, and no one will force you..."
He looked at Medusa, who was in disbelief, and reached out to touch her cheek, his thumb gently stroking her snow-white skin.
Triton's murmur was filled with madness, and the look he gave her was firm and unyielding. "What do you think?"
*
I lowered my eyes to look at his hand, and for a moment I didn't understand why things turned out like this.
But I knew that Triton's words about being in danger were definitely not groundless.
I remembered that I had vaguely heard the quarrel between Poseidon, the god of the sea, and the Queen of the Sea. I guess the Queen of the Sea would not let it go after my appearance. As her son, Triton's reminder seemed reasonable.
But...he actually wants to take me away?
Go to other sea areas?
What a joke!
If I had been greedy for my life and only wanted to survive in this world, then I would not have come to the ocean with Poseidon, the god of the sea, in the first place, and made a humble attempt to beg for a chance of revenge by selling my body and feelings.
If I were defeated and downtrodden by the power of these gods, I would not be able to escape with the son of Poseidon who harmed me.
He is just like Poseidon, the god of the sea. He has other intentions towards me because of my beauty and my identity as my father's lover, and he can't protect my safety at all.
What's more, I have already made my choice, so I will not regret it. Even if it is a road full of dangers, I will continue to move forward with determination.
Perhaps because I didn't respond, Triton grew anxious, his powerful hands almost breaking my wrists. "Medusa...my father doesn't care about the life or death of a lover. If you don't leave, you will die!"
I pretended to be about to cry, but my brain was quickly thinking about how to reject him without making him suspicious or unhappy.
Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from all directions along the sea...
"Leaving...where to?"
For a moment, I couldn't help but widen my eyes in horror. At the same time, I saw the same emotion in Triton's eyes, and his face instantly became extremely pale and ugly.
Triton seemed to finally wake up and realize how naive his previous behavior was, so he quickly let go of my hand. At the same time, his tail swayed rapidly and he retreated hurriedly to a place ten meters away from me.
Almost in the next second, Poseidon, the god of the sea, stirred up the torrent and quickly appeared in front of us.
I knew He wasn't at sea before, but I didn't expect Him to come back so soon.
Looking at Triton's confused expression not far away, I just felt funny in my heart. After all, he is the son of the sea god. When the time comes, it will definitely not be him who will be unlucky but me. I don't know what he is so panic about.
As expected, Poseidon, the god of the sea, just glanced at his son indifferently, sneered, and then looked at me with a gloomy look. I had actually been prepared for it, but when he stretched out his hand and pulled my hair, I still couldn't help but screamed in pain.
I was forced to raise my head and look at the ruler of the ocean in front of me. It took me a long time to not show hatred in my eyes, and instead I looked at Him timidly.
"Father……"
Triton said, but Poseidon paid no attention to his intentions and looked down at me as if I were an ant.
The next second, He turned to pinch my neck. Seeing the pain on my face, He suddenly grinned and said, "With just a little force, I can easily strangle you to death."
He suddenly lowered his head and leaned close to my ear, "Don't think I don't know what you want to do..."
My vision gradually became blurry, but just when I thought He was about to let go, I suddenly felt the force on my neck tighten rapidly, and the surrounding scenes began to recede at an extremely high speed.
I tried to find Triton, but after I caught a glimpse of him, he quickly turned into a tiny dot and disappeared from my sight.
Breathing became extremely difficult. I stretched out my hand and tried to pry open His hand on my neck, but He was simply an existence that I could not shake.
At that moment, the sky was spinning and the whole world began to become blurry and dark, as if the threat of death was approaching me again.
Finally, my back slammed hard against something hard. I groaned in pain, then He pinched my chin and forced me to look at Him. "I underestimated your methods. In just a few days, you've made Triton fall head over heels for you, even willing to betray me for you."
I raised my hand and touched the blood on my lips, gasping for breath. It took me a while to understand what He meant. In short, it was all my fault as a slut. Men can never be wrong.
So I bit my tongue and used all my willpower to speak intermittently, "Why... my great Poseidon... are you jealous?"
He looked at me expressionlessly and sneered, "Your playing hard to get really impressed me. Even Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, would be impressed."
I managed to regain a sense of relief, but I felt that my internal organs were shaking and uncomfortable. I didn't know if I had any internal injuries. I just felt like I was about to die. Thinking about how He had just pinched me and dragged me in the sea, and even hit the rocks, I felt a little scared.
No, I can't just die here.
All of my enemies are still alive and well, enjoying the offerings and respect of humans, but even in the mouths of stupid sea creatures, I am a traitor and a whore who is hated by everyone.
I can't accept it, I really can't accept it.
So, I transformed all the venom in my heart that was about to burst out into tenderness, and stretched out my arms to wrap around His neck.
He looked at me coldly, as if he was watching what tricks I could play.
So I slowly approached Him, brushed my nose lightly against His straight nose, and couldn't help but chuckle. This laugh caused tiny bubbles to emerge from his mouth and nose one after another, gushing out, rising, and then bursting... In the depths of this clear and mottled sea, it seemed to be stained with a bit of haziness and hallucination.
"But how can the son of Poseidon be as majestic as Poseidon?"
I noticed that his thin lips moved suddenly, and the neat and strong neckline became bright and dark in the light and shadow, as if hiding the greed in his eyes and hiding his thirst. I moved close to his ear and whispered in a hoarse and pleasant voice, my lips touching his cold earlobe and continued to open and close.
"It's you I've always longed for."
