Chapter 17 - Chapter 13:Lies

Previously on Mermaid-Human Love

You are joking, you didn't have to wear a fake tail to convince me that mermaids are real"

I smiled at her

" I am real ,I am a mermaid "

"You are joking"

She said trying to pull my tail off

" You are not lying?" She asked after realizing that the tail wouldn't come off

"I am not,I trust you that's why I am telling you "

She was still in shock

" You are real mermaid,I still can't believe that. Wow ,I am so happy, that explains why you let my fresh fish back to the ocean that day "

I could really read her, Flora was really acting like a kid because she saw a mermaid

Humans

I wasn't even this excited when I saw a human for the first time

I quickly put on my necklace and I turned back to a human with the scar on her face

Flora stated at me in shock

"What is that?"

Flora asked, looking frightened

" I don't know "

They moved backwards until a head popped up

It was Ruga , Belle's brother

"Ruga"

Belle screamed in joy as she ran to her brother

"Who is this?"

Flora asked still in shock

Mom is suffering the consequences of Belle's mistake

Mom has refused to confess to the fact that Belle traded her tail for legs

She told the queen that Belle had travelled to the next kingdom , Seaanna to work

"Belle!!!" I screamed back

I was really happy to see my sister

She was still as pretty as ever but eww

Those things they call legs are so ugly and boring

What is this she having on?

The body jewel is so ugly not as colourful as the one we wear in Oceania

"What type of body jewel is this? So ugly"

I asked disgusted immediately she came close to me

"Oh ,they do not call it body jewel here,the human's call it Clothes and the cloth I am wearing is called a dress"

Belle said twirling

" Another mermaid?" She asked in shock

"I am not a mermaid,I am a merman " Belle's brother said irritated

" Well, my name is Flora and you are?"

"I am Ruga, you are so pretty"

Flora blushed

"Stop bro, you are getting checky . This is not oceania where the girls would kill for you " Belle stated immediately after noticing that I was embarrassed to Ruga's compliment

" Thanks Ruga"

I didn't know why Ruga was here

He would never come to the surface,he was an obidient merman of Oceania

"Why are you here,Ruga? I thought you said you could never come to the surface"

"Belle ,mom is in trouble . You have to come back. The queen somehow found out that you traded your tail for legs and demanded her arrest. In other to protect you ,mom lied that you work in Seaanna that's why you are not in Oceania" I was in shocked after hearing everything Ruga said

" Let's go"

I said to Ruga after taking off my necklace again

" Flora please go home , I will be back"

"Are you sure you are going to be fine?" Flora asked concerned

" Yes I will ,I promise . Come and pick me up tomorrow same time"

She nodded while Ruga and I dived in

General POV

Belle and Ruga went back to Oceania and went to the palace

"My queen, this is my sister,she has returned back from Oceania"

Ruga said with a bow

" Your majesty" Belle said with a bow too,showing courtesy to the queen of Oceania

"Well, Belle,where have you been?"

Belle's POV

Where have I been?

Didn't they tell you where I have been

The surface ,duh

"I have been in Seannna trying to make myself useful"

I said calmly ,one wouldn't even know I was lying

" Oh, really dear"

The queen said looking at me carefully as if she was trying to detect if she was lying to her

But I managed to stand my ground on my lie

"Guards, bring in Riva"

General POV

Immediately the royal maid who overheard Belle's discussion with her mom came in

"Belle?!!"

She said shocked

Belle smiled

You know that kiss my tail type of smile

"What did you tell me you heard?"

The queen said swimming round her like a detector

"I overheard Belle's ... discussion...with her mom about ...how she traded ...her ...tail for ...legs " She stammered

She clearly scared

" Any prove for your claims?"

The queen asked again

" N...O,I ... d-on't have a proff "

"Guards , bring in Eli"

(You remember Eli, yeah ,The Octopus )

"I am sorry your majesty, I heard them ,I am sure. I didn't mean to "

Riva begged and begged

And there came the giant Octopus,Eli

It grabbed the royal maid with one of its tentacles

And

She was gone

Oh my gosh

Belle's POV

The queen permitted me to go back to work,she also apologized to my mom for not trusting her

If only she knew I was lying

I felt bad

Though, it is fine

We went back home

"What have been eating dear?You look so healthy and beautiful"

Mom said patting my back

" Human food"

I stated happy

" I made this wonderful friend and I have been staying with her ,she is so nice. Her name is Flora,Ruga has met her "

Suye's POV

My crush is back

I have been having this really big crush on Belle, she was really the fairest of all

I thought as I swam to her house

"Hey Belle " I said shy

"Hey suye, how are you doing?"

"I am fine ,you?"

"Fine too"

We stayed there looking , speechless

Oh oh

Awkward moment

What should I say?

"Just wanted to say hello"

"Oh , thanks"

I said and swam off

Why do I feel so shy when I am around her?

I really need to tell her how I feel about her

She makes my heart beat so badly

Wonder if hers beat for me too

Belle's POV

"Awkward"

I said as I swam back to my brother and mom

" I think he likes you, he has been checking up on you " Ruga said as she put some seaweed chips in his mouth

" Dear ,take this call shell, use it to call me where you are less busy "

I smiled and collected it from her

" Thanks mom"

General POV

Belle swam back to the surface , Flora was already waiting for her

"Belle!" Flora screamed as she ran to the seashore

Belle quickly wore her necklace and boom legs again

Flora hugged her tight

"I thought you would not come back again"

" Why did you think that?"

" It sounded like you were in trouble and I thought you wouldn't come back"

" Well, I am here"

I said as I hugged her again
