Chapter 3
On the other hand, at mermaid palace the soldiers, guardians, maids and guards were finding the lost princess and her servants. There was one person left in the palace, she was the empress's trusted person and the guardian of princess. The sisters who married abroad weren't heard about this serious condition yet. But one of her sister felt sad during the dinner with her husband. Mu Ying told her husband "Hubby, I felt bad in my chest and I suddenly want to cry I don't know what happened in me, is that my family in danger". Her husband said "don't worry I will order my warrior to go and check they are okay". She leaned on the chest of her husband and said "Okay, please hurry, my mermaid pearl turned red". Mu Ying was the eldest daughter of Merman King who got marry with the dragon prince of the east ocean. Her two younger sisters had married to the dragon prince of south and north oceans right after her. She only had a sister left who hasn't marry yet. After conversation with her husband, she decided to send a letter to her two sisters who lived at south and north oceans. She wrote down everything in the letter including her nightmares over a week. Then, she sent by her trusted person. When the eldest sister's letter reached in hand, the younger sisters said gasps automatically because they all had the same nightmare over the week. So, it might possibly be their family members was in danger. They requested to their husbands to go check the situations for them. They wanted to know about their father, mother and sister were in safe and sound situation. Their husbands was preparing themselves to take their leave to the Merman's water kingdom. On their way to water kingdom, they hadn't find any weird situations. But they reached the frontier line of water kingdom, they saw the ringing bell of their sister in law was falling down on the sea floor near the coral reef barrier. Now, they knew something was happening here if not why does this thing sitting here like this. They knew their youngest sister in law wasn't the playful child who would come this far. And also this area was the warning area too.
The second dragon prince took this ringing bell and put inside the pocket. Then, they moved forward to the gate. At the gate, the guards were changing too so they moved back out from there and tried to find the other way to went inside the kingdom. At that time, they saw Ms. Piru who was the guardian of the youngest sister. They went after her and greeting to her. She was shocking to see them suddenly here and then she took them out from that area to the safer place to talk. At the safe place, she said "Greetings your highnesses, what make you to come here". They said "Ms. Piru, what happened here, is anyone okay yet". She faced herself down to the floor and said "No, I couldn't save my princess and anyone, I just hiding in the passage and losing her". They gasps and said "You what?" Then they continued "our wives were worrying about their family and youngest sister and brother, what now, it's all gone, please tell us clearly about what exactly happened here". Ms. Piru said "It's a long story to tell but it so fast to destroy everything". She said everything about this happening to them. After she done telling them, they were angering over the ridiculous movement of Ryu Ying the emperor's cousin. She said "Ryu Ying wanted this throne since he was being a rival with the king, I thought he won't do that again but he did it in serious way and this time was being much curious to find and kill anyone who support the family of the King". Then, the princes said "we knew it's not the right time to fight back for this territory we need to schedule and plan first to fight back". Prince Yu Long said "Ms. Piru, please come with me to my wife, she must want to see you and ask you everything". He was the prince of eastern ocean who was the powerful person among the dragons. But Ms. Piru denied his offer because she had to find her princess. So, she told them "thanks for your offer my lords, I had the only task left to do that was finding my princess and make sure she was being at safe place". After she told to them, they said "okay as you wish, please take this horn we can here if you are in danger and here take this with you". They leave their confidant person with her to keep her safe. She knew if she found the princess she must protect her with all her strength.
At that time, inside the Merman kingdom Taiyu the bodyguard of the princess was being injure and taken by the warriors. They put her in jail and trying to take the information from her. Because the new emperor didn't want one of the child still alive outside. He didn't care about the married children of the past emperor. Shu Ying was the bright kid who had many talents and he couldn't able to defeat her. Till now he blocked all the paths but she survived from this dangerous blocking path ways. He wanted to know who saved her and where did she go. Even how hard they tried to ask Taiyu about this. Taiyu denied to say a word to them and said "kill me right now or you must regret it". Taiyu was a special bodyguard of Princess Shu Ying who lived most of her times for her. The dictator knew that so he put much efforts to get a word from her. The person who knew the most of Princess was Taiyu. Otherwise, the dictator already killed and prisoned all the ministers and people who lived and worked at palace. He let the people who agreed to change their master. If the lowest level servant did annoy him, he just killed them first. So, everyone in the palace got shock by his cruel face of evil. But there was many person left who obeyed the order of past emperor and emperor's family members. However, Taiyu was being in prison and got punished by the evil emperor there was a person who came after her and treat her the wound. That person came in the prison every day without getting notice. The guards of the prison didn't stop that person because they were all at the same side. Taiyu thought everyone was on the side of evil emperor but now she knew she was wrong. One day, she said thanks to that person who always take the foods and treat her well. Then, that person uncovered the hoot and showed his face. She was gasping to see his face. He was the general who fight together with emperor at the battle. He told her everything "at the last minute of battle the king ordered and they went back to cover the castle and protect his daughter but they were late and the princess had never be found". She said "is it really, you still alive" with watery eyes. Because they were being couple over years and she thought he might die at battle. In a minute, she held back herself and said "how do I know you are still ours". He said "Taiyu please hear my heart says, it's the truth you can hear my mind aren't you". Then, she turned her face to the wall than him and said "just go back, I need time to think about this clearly". At last, she didn't say anything about princess and where had princess go. She knew well inside her mind that was her duty to protect the princess and hide everything for her safety. Otherwise, she couldn't trust anyone who said they will worry for the princess. She must suspect them all including her lover. Outside the prison, the general had the meeting with his fellows somewhere near the safety area. There was being so little to be that area of safety when evil king got the throne. The stone cave with magical surrounding can hide their existence from evil king's fellows. During the meeting, everyone shows their evidence of princess but there had nothing helpful for finding her. At that time, they heard the groaning sound of evil black dragon then they stopped their meeting and leave that place and head to different directions.
The whole months, the evil king was being busy with finding the golden conch shell and the magical pearl of the king. But he hadn't found anything like this. He entered into the secret library room and statue room of the King's and then he found the scroll which tell everything about the evil black dragon. Then, he knew how to get the power from evil dragon to raise his power to rule all the oceans around the world. The power was being so great for him so he laughed out loud and said "I will be the great king of king who can raise our family's name". Then, he stood in front of his father statue and said "watch it father your son became the king and will be more powerful on coming future, ha ha".
