The Mermaid Princess

Chapter 20

"I love you.... My Luca."

As soon as Luca heard those words, he came back to his senses. He catches Muriel from falling and looked at her while his eyes were so wide.

"Wh...What did you say?"

Hunter immediately got up and suddenly whispered in Luca's ears.

"She said she loves you brother!!"

Hunter is smiling from the sidelines and then he gave back Muriel's magic powers.

"Hey you lady! Wake up! Hahaha Tell him again! He's blushing so hard you know! hahaha"

"Shut up Hunter!"

As soon as Hunter finish, Muriel still didn't wake up.

"Oh? I guess she's tired and sleepy brother. Its 3am in the morning anyway hahaha."

"Why are you even here??!"

Luca then laid Muriel down in his bed to sleep.

"Well, I'm here because I'm the judge for a modelling show. You task me about looking for various designs of dresses, so, I was thinking of looking for some new ones in advance. Hahaha"

"You don't have to look anymore just go home."

"Eh? Why?"

"Just go home!"

Luca then laid down beside the sleeping Muriel. Hunter was surprised because Luca never really laid down with anyone in a bed ever since he was a child. Hunter then smiled and said

"Okay brother. But I expect to have a niece right after this night. Got that?"

Luca blushed so hard and exclaimed

"F*ck off! Just go!"

Hunter laugh so hard because Luca's face was so cute. He felt that it's the first time Luca fell in love with someone and act childish in front of him. Hunter immediately go home but not in the kingdom of karg but in the castle of Nether.

**Ahhh... I'm relieve to see him like that. I'm glad he's not a gay. ****

Hunter drank some wine in his room with his butler.

"It seems you have to judge right now, butler."

"What do you mean, your highness?"

"Our Emperor is in love with the first princess of the Ocean Kingdom."

"WHAT?! That mermaid princess who run away with a man and abandon her family??"

"Yep. And I almost killed her. Isn't it funny? HAHAHA"

"WHATTTTTT?????!! Are you crazyyy???"

"HAHAHA! Yeah right? HAHA I'm glad that the mermaid princess manages to slap me or else I might be dead in the hands of my brother right now instead of drinking this wine with you."

The butler was so shock that he spit out the wine he's drinking.

"Sh..She manage to slap you???? S...Sh..She landed a hit on you???? IMPOSSIBLE!"

"Yeah I was quite surprise myself. I didn't know that she was a mermaid at first because that amulet she's wearing doesn't even emit any magic powers at all. Then I realized it was an amulet of the mermaids made by the legendary craftsman himself."

"Oh? Your master?"

"Yep! He manages to make a fool out of me again and again with his inventions. Hahaha. I guess, I have to grant his off springs this time by strengthening the barrier of the country that his great-grandson Prince Nathan will soon inherit."

Hunter then drank all the wine up and said

"Go and tell King Nether about it."

The butler stood up and bowed down

"As you wish, Your Highness."

Hunter then thought about the incident for a while.

***Does brother knew that she is a mermaid princess and is one of his fiancees? ****

***Or not? ***

***Should I tell him so they could live happily ever after in our castle? ***

Hunter thought for a while and smiled widely.

***Nah... Let's just leave it like that. It would be interesting in the process if he doesn't know about it."

[Morning]

[Luca's Room]

**Arg. Why the hell my body hurts like hell again??***

Muriel woke up first and felt that her head is spinning. She then slowly took a deep breathe but when she was about to held her head, she saw that both her hands were lock inside Luca's hands.

**L..L...Luca?!"

She then looked at the ceiling of the room and saw that she was sleeping inside luca's room again. Muriel then remembered what happen last night and immediately hugged Luca and tears fell down from her eyes.

Luca suddenly woke up when he felt that Muriel was crying.

"W..Why are crying?? Does it hurt anywhere??"

Muriel heard Luca's voice and slowly stops crying.

"N..No... It's Nothing. I'm not crying."

Luca held Muriel's face and checked her eyes. Muriel was surprised with his sudden actions and couldn't stop him from seeing her crying.

"You're a liar, Mui."

Muriel then pouted like a puppy and cried a lot.

"You finally called me Mui again. You idiot! Luca!"

Luca was surprised.

"You always call the princess by her first name and yet you never called me by my name again! It hurts so much that I want to slap you with fishes a lot of times!!"

Luca then leans his forehead against Muriel's forehead and said

"I'm sorry Mui. It's my fault. So, please stop crying."

Muriel suddenly stop because he's face is so close that they are almost kissing. She blushed so much and wanted to push him but she saw the wound in his biceps.

"I...It's okay now. I forgive you Luca."

"Thank you, Mui."

Luca then kissed Muriel's forehead. Muriel immediately felt that she was about to explode.

***Wh..Why is he acting so sweet????****

She then remembered that she said I love you yesterday before losing her consciousness.

***D..Did he perhaps hear it???****

Luca then hugged her again so closely as if they were lovers. She wasn't used to it that it gave her butterflies in her stomach whenever she smells Luca's scent.

"D..Does your wound okay now Luca?"

"Yep, Mui. It doesn't hurt anymore."

"G...G..Good."

"How about you? Did my little brother hurt you so much?"

"N..No.. Just a little."

She then felt Luca breathes so deep and said

"Should I punish him by letting him live in the space forever?"

"WHAT??! "

"Oh? Yeah. He hurt My Mui so the only punishment he deserves is death!"

"W..What did you say?!"

Muriel was surprised when Luca called her "My Mui" again. Her face turned so red that it was visible in the naked eye.

"I said that the only punishment he deserves is death?"

"NO! Before that!"

Muriel seriously stared at him with a blushing face.Luca then suddenly realized what he said and blushed.

"My Mui."

Both of their heads explode and immediately hides their blushing faces in the pillows.

"Y... Yo...You don't have to punish your little brother, L..Lu...Luca."

"Why?"

"He was just trying to protect you because he thought I will kill you."

Luca then stops hiding from the pillow and said

"Why would he thought that you would kill me?? "

"Be..because I was in top of you and is shaking you so hard!"

"WHAT?? Are you perhaps trying to rape me, Mui??"

Muriel immediately stopped hiding from the pillow.

"WHAAATTT!!??? NO!! I'm NOT!!!!"

Luca's face then got angry and said

"Arg! I'll definitely kill my little brother for stopping you to do so!"

Muriel's face turned red again and she immediately slaps Luca using the pillow.

"NO! YOU JERK!!!!"

Luca was laughing in how cute Muriel's reaction but he didn't realized that he shields his wounded biceps against Muriel's slapping.

"Argg... That hurts, Mui."

Muriel immediately got worried.

"Oh sht! Sorry Luca! Where does it hurt??? Tell me!"

Luca immediately hugged Muriel. He then held her hand and pointed it in his chest and said

"It hurts here, Mui."

Muriel was caught off guard and said

"W...Wh...Why? Did you not heal yourself well last night because of me?"

"No... It hurts like hell when I think that I almost lose you last night."

Muriel then looked at Luca to check if he's saying it seriously. Luca then looked at her endearingly and suddenly said

"I love you, Mui."
