Mermaid And Her Alpha Mate

ZOE PALACE, ZUIK RIVER

"Long live the king, "the palace guards said in unison and everyone bowed as king Dylan swam into the palace majestically in his usual stern appearance

The waves of the water stopped, the wind ceased, the fishes stopped moving, and the sea shell halted their movement as they all paid homage to the king.

The moment he swam in, the palace's bright shiny red light came on and the palace became even more beautiful

He's holding his sceptre, wearing a golden amulet and his golden crown is sitting regally on his head

Everyone maintained their bowing position till he took his sit beside his queen .... sierra

The king's officials are all present and the son of great people in the kingdom which includes Richard ... the son of the closest man to the king

The princesses Entered and all the males present at the gathering turned their attention to them, it's actually a hard task to not stare at them anytime they are sighted, they are enchanting

Richard was disappointed when he didn't see Judy, only JoJo and Judith came

"Where is Judy?" queen Sierra asked when the two took their seat beside her

"She left the palace a while ago" Judith replied her mum

"How could she not be in the palace when the king specially called everyone, which means this gathering is important," Brett said worrying

Brett is the closest man to the king, therefore he's Richard's father

"She's probably out in the city performing her useless magic again" JoJo stated hatefully

"Stop hating her for nothing JoJo" Judith defended

"Who said I hate her? am just saying my mind" JoJo snapped

"That's enough!!"Dylan cautioned and they both bowed as short turbulence happened in the water, the young fishes ran into hiding

"We can still go on without her, tell me the news about the preparation," he asked staring keenly at brett

Brett stood.

"It's all set like you ordered your highness, the festival is ready to kick off," brett said

"When?"king Dylan asked

"Tomorrow, your highness" Brett replied bowing

"I can't wait!

Gosh, tomorrow should please come fast!!

Who do you think will sing?!!

I guess it's princess Judith!

No, she sang last year Already!!

It should be princess JoJo this year!!

I want it to be princess Judy!!"

People kept murmuring

Jojo held her breath and Richard smiled, knowing the chosen one already.

"It's up to you to choose the princess that Will sing so that'll finalise the preparations your highness"Brett bowed

"Judy is singing, "Dylan said and JoJo stand up shaking her tail in anger

"Your highness, Judy sang last three years, she sang last two years too, Judith sang last year, I wanna sing this year too, why can't I sing?, aren't I a princess too?, stop treating me like an outcast, I don't like it" she yelled and Dylan folded his fist angrily

JoJo's voice ceased immediately, she tried to speak again but she couldn't.

"Jojo" Queen sierra called worriedly rushing to her

"Her voice won't be back till after four hours, no one dares to defy me, even if you are my flesh and blood!!, I'm still DYLAN, the one and only ruler of ZOE!!! my words are final, Judy is singing" he said and great turbulence happened as she swam out of the palace angrily

Everyone had to hide behind the wave, it took close to five minutes before the water calmed

"Why would you yell at your father like that? are you out of your mind? have you forgotten he is the king? just be grateful you are his daughter otherwise it would have been another story, and now your voice is gone"queen Sierra rebuked
