"I hate you."
"I love Akhefya."
"Forget it, I don't hate you anymore."
Lorsis couldn't help but hold her down and kiss her again. After he pulled away, she spit out a string of bubbles in a daze.
"Ahfuya is so adorable."
Brushing the pearls away, he held her tail, held her in his arms and talked about what happened in the past month.
"Dunba is very strong, Edmund is injured..."
"I rarely have free time during the war, but when I do have free time, I miss Ahefuya so much. I want to go back to Ahefuya, hug you, and kiss you."
"I wonder if Ahefuya is unhappy, if she eats well, and if she misses me."
"I also want to take you to the garden to plant flowers after I return to Ajiamu, listen to you play the violin, watch you shoot arrows, stay by your side quietly, and watch you blow bubbles in the water."
His voice was hoarse as he tried to control his impulse.
"I'm afraid that if I'm not around, Akhfuya will be angry with me for not being with you."
"I was also afraid that the war would last too long and I wouldn't be able to marry Akhfuya in time."
Ahephia held a few pearls in her hands, and heard his gradually calming breathing in her ears.
"I miss you every day. I'm not unhappy. I eat well."
"I went to the garden, and when I smelled the flowers, I thought of you planting flowers with me. I also played the piano, and when I heard the music, I thought of you always being by my side."
"I think of you when I'm shooting arrows."
"Well, I'm also a little unhappy because I can't touch you or hear your voice."
"But I'm not angry. You have your work to do. You are the undefeated duke. You have your territory to protect..."
She talked about how much she missed him during the more than one month he was away. Her longing was like the chocolate baked milk she learned from the chef, which became thicker as it was cooked.
It was not until midnight that she fell asleep in the water, and the pearl she was holding slipped from her palm.
There was the singing and calling of mermaids in the distance, but she ignored them.
Lorsis kissed her lips, hugged her and closed her eyes.
…
Felice nestled in the dolphin group and poked the head of the pink dolphin that was playing with her in front of her. "I knew they were going to catch me and take me to find Akhfuya. I wouldn't go out."
"You are not allowed to betray me. Even if they ask you about it, you are not allowed to tell them. We are good friends."
The pink dolphin turned its body in the water to show its agreement.
Felice pulled out a ball of kelp nearby and said, "Let's make kelp shrimp balls today. Do you want some too? Okay, I'll make more."
Felice walked into a hollow stone covered by seaweed, took out a knife to cut the kelp into pieces, and poured in some strange potion.
Late at night, a black mermaid approaches and knocks stone on stone, making noises.
Felice looked behind the crack in the stone and said, "High Priest? Are you awake?"
"Come with me." The high priest's voice was old, suppressing the itch in his throat.
"If I don't leave, are you going to capture me and threaten Akhfuya?"
"No, fate has already been decided." The high priest coughed several times, "The will of the Heart of the Sea God led me to find you. You are the next high priest."
"Don't worry, they won't come to my place."
After becoming the high priest, he could no longer tell lies and every word he said was true.
Felice opened the door and swam to the high priest, "You are sick."
Mermaids are sick, which means death is about to take them away.
"Let's go, Felice." The high priest turned and walked away.
The dolphins swam over, and Felice thought for a moment, said goodbye to them, and followed the high priest.
…
There was the sea above his head. Kenway held the trident and looked at the village on the coast.
