Chloe walked slowly in the palace while admiring the flowers arrangements and how the palace was built.
It looked like an estate or more of a company with house privileges only to the royals.
She walked for almost twenty minutes before she found where the fruit farm was. The land stood majestically with diffrent trees that could be seen from far. She hurriedly quickened her footsteps.
Looking at the mers who were following her in a bored manner, she had to tell them to walk around or have Dylan show them in the palace since he once lived there.
Moreover, she doesn't want to be followed like a dog on leash.
They didn't insist on following her either, after being told not to follow her they looked happy.
The mers left to the other direction where the apartments were while she happily marched to the fruit farm with light footsteps.
The mers enterd in to the first house which was the only apartment guarded by mer guards who let them inside.
Inside the house, the house manager was supervising the attendants while looking at the door every now and then like expecting visitors.
"Misters." The house manager greeted them politely with a bow. " You are late."
"Nanny." They greeted back. "We were tied up, can we meet him?" Cassen asked the manager who is also Chloe's nanny.
"Follow me." She said to them still in her respectful tone as she head to the lift that took them in the garden they was at the top of the building.
After she made sure they were all there, she went up to where the middle aged mer who was prooning the flowers and told him something in a low voice before withdrawing.
The middle aged mer looked like an otherwordly figure. His back was straight, the rays sun filterd through his white shirt.
"Well, look whom we have here. Doesn't it call for a celebration?" The man turned to look at them smiling .
"It's a pity you are late." The man's voice was calm, too calm like talking about weather, but the pressure in them couldn't be ignored.
His red eyes gleamed dangerously. " How can I be sure that my grandchild will be born earlier with your dilly-dallying?"
He was Chloe's father and also the king, Bree.
"Sorry father, it won't happen again." Cassen replied. Their body shaking from the pressure.
"Cowards." He commented at how they chickened out.
Cowards?
They laughedinwardly with self-mock.
They are willing to be called cowards in front of this godly and dangerous figure.
Why can't they be cowards when Bree is the most dangerous person in the empire.
Not just the empire but all the five continents.
Bree is ranked as SSS dangerous.
The only mer who fight along side females and males.
The only mer who had the guts and courage to single handedly annihilate an entire pack of the undead with his powers.
The queen isn't feared but her king is.
"You know the rules father. Your daughter wanted us to take care of the house for her." Cassen chuckled cheekly as he sat down on the seats already arranged." Hope you've received the email I sent this morning."
" I did and I can see the sales were good." Bree replied as he put down the scissors."How is she?"
"As always." Nathan replied while taking a sip of the tea on the table.
"As always?" Bree looked at Nathan, and he chuckled.
"Nathan, Lenox, Alex and Dylan. You guys can't say it is as always, or did you take everything as a dream?"
Bree looked at them pointedly, he saw how they fidgeted before masking everything to calmness.
He looked at Nathan before he continued. " Prince Killian," Bree smiled when he saw his cold expression cracking.
"What do you think, I will allow my daughter, to marry just anyone?
You scheming, even taking the prime ministers illegitimate status just to marry Chloe, do you think I know nothing?"
He looked at the expression of others and he awed.
" It seems you knew each other's secret but, do you know, Alex is also a prince? But the kingdom is what am unsure of" Bree smiled slyly.
Seeing how they looked calm, but who is Bree without chaos.
Bree is blood, wrath, eery, ear.
Eerie ear is usually used to describe his way of eavesdropping everything and everywhere in the kingdom using his powers.
He isn't ashamed.
He likes blood and controls blood with wrath in one.
In simple, he is the demon incarnate to everyone including the queen and Chloe herself.
The queen can't papapa with her other mers secretly without Bree knowing.
"Lenox, Lenox, Lenox. You look too carefree to be a king. Is a crowned king title to be played with?" He smiled meaningfully at how they looked dumbfounded.
They looked at each other questioningly.
All of Chloe's husbands are with prominent titles in secret.
"Your majesty, there are two mer guests looking for you." The house manager announced.
"Let them in."
Two mers walked in with one if them shyly hiding behind the other. "Good afternoon, daddy."
Bree laughed at how they addressed him.
"Pfft, you guys decided to announce your status, aren't you afraid of being beaten."
Bree looked at the newcomers and chided them lightly," everyone is late than the other, what reasons do the two of you have?"
"My duties," the white haired mer replied,"my duties." the dark haired mer said.
"Your duties?" Bree asked, he cocked his head while rapidly blinking his eyes with one of his ears twitching." Duties I see. What duties can an unmarried mers have?"
They all shrugged before making themselves comfortable.
"Silence and Thomas ( the general's mer), can't you greet your fellow members."
" Shouldn't you introduce us first?" Silence replied. But they still greeted Cassen and others.
"Silence, this five mers are my in-laws, Chloe's husbands." Silence and Thomas shifted slightly before they gave Cassen and others a polite smile.
The smile looked guilty and forced, Cassen and Nathan had a knowing smile while nodding.
The other three looked confused.
" Follow me." Bree stood up and went to his apartment underground cellar.
The room was lavishly decorated with ice sorronding a green pod. The pod was in the middle.
Bree had always been mysterious, rumour is that, he controls almost eighty percent of the power in the whole kingdom.
The mers looked at how he operated the pod and with a click it was opened.
Inside the pod, lay an unconscious mer. The mer had blue hair with delicate features. His eyebrows were long.
Bree fiddled with a computer that was aside before looking at the seven mers who had followed him.
"I think some of you has an impression of him?" Bree asked when he saw the way they looked at the sleeping mer with killing intent.
"How can I not know this guy, is he not the system that Chloe always talk about?" Dylan asked.
Among the seven mers, he was the only one with the strongest reaction. He had fought with the sleeping mer once. That day he had gone to sleep in Chloe's room.
"System!" Bree looked at the sleeping mer carefully then he chuckled darkly.
"Let me introduce him to you guys properly, meet Larry the sixth husband, Chloe's sixth husband."
