Monster Academy - The Blood of Mermaids - Chapter Seventeen

Castle of Myths
Seren watched, well glared at the figure above the water. He didn't know who he was, but he could clearly see that the boy was watching him. Seren was also aware of the boy knew he was watching.

He smirked as the boys face scrunched up in a sort of fear as it seemed. He chuckled to himself as he stopped one of the guards, the one that had told his bride to be about their upcoming marriage ceremony.

"Guard, who is that mongrel before me? Do you know who he is?" The guard looked up at the startled face of Darren for a moment and looked back at Seren, "Sir, I believe he is a friend of your soon to be mistress. I found him with her here when I told her the news."

The sorcerers cruel smile faded into dissatisfaction. He looked up at the pale vampire again. He could clearly see pain coming him in waves, he could feel what Darren was feeling. He could tell he was devastated.

Seren also felt a bit of shame and regret strangely. He must have been in a relationship with the princess. Well no harm done. Seren knew she had probably had past relationships. He didn't care though, just as long as she had her virtue still intact.

He smiled again cruelly thinking of their wedding night ahead and their future. Ah, how easy it all was. That foolish king. The merfolk had no idea what was in store for them.

Especially Alexandria, she would soon learn like all the others. That his words were law. That he, Seren, would be king of Atlantis, of the Monster Realm, and of the Human Realm as well.

No one would stop him, and even if they tried, they could not. He swam away, deep in his thoughts, and into a small cave to devise his plan. He would wait until his bride came into his arms, her new home.
