Chapter 19 - was their stakes in marrying wife?

Bree fiddled with a computer that was at the side table before looking at the seven mers who had followed him in.

"I think some of you has an impression of him." Bree pointed at the pod when he saw how some of them looking at the sleeping mer with killing intent.

"How can I not know this guy." Dylan greeted his teeth hatefully. "Isn't he the system that Chloe always talk with?"

After he said those words, the mers present looked at each other.

"Hohoho, things just got interesting." He remarked playfully as Dylan slapped his mouth with his hand.

"It seems that stupid scripture didn't lie." He smiled evilly.

Dylan shuddered at the smile but he didn't give up his anger on the meeting in the pod.

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."

Bree took a blue liquid from the many on the stand and using his powers, he forced Larry to drink it.

He didn't bother to see how hurt they looked at him, he prefers perfection in everything.

Even if it is to his daughter.

" There is no system and there is no novel. What you guys experienced is real and not a dream." He stated firmly.

"The four of you seems to fear the reality." He sneered as he added.

"You think that you can't hurt Chloe when you tried very hard to be hers.

That everything that happened is just a dream or someone manipulating your minds." His redicule was a slap on their faces, they all flinched.

"The four of you, experienced everything.

Cassen, you are not an exemption.

I don't know what happened but you freed yourself from first life.

Just like Chloe, you guys have lived three lifetimes with the same ending.

This is your fourth one.

We have been searching for ways to break the cycle, the repetition of the same actions in every cycle to no avail." He said while pointing at them.

"We? Who is we father?" Alex interrupted him.

He was really mad, he now had to share his woman with other mers?

When the other mers heard Alex question, they all inched away from him.

Alex had provoked wrath. Bree hates being interrupted most.

Bree's eyes narrowed at the provoked and angry Alex.

"You know, I sometimes wonder how you are a prince when there are other candidates?"

Alex furry intensified. His fox tails became visible, borny hands started emerging from the dark void behind him.

"Hahaha," Bree laughed merrily."we are saved, the world is saved, the scriptures didn't lie."

Bree looked at Alex before embracing him in a hug.

Alex was startled at first before fighting to break free. "I'm straight, completely straight." He shouted those words in embarrassment.

"Honey, our last piece is found, now the play is set." Bree addressed the space behind them.

They all looked to see Chloe's mature figure, who is the queen, standing at the door.

The queen walked to where Bree was before kissing him on the lips. "Yes, our daughter will finally be free." She hugged him tightly.

"Why aren't you at work?" Bree asked. Tilting his head to look at her shyly.

"How can I when am monitored all the time." She grumbled with a pouty tone.

" You know whose child she is, there is no way she will rest before she gets what she wants." Thinking about it intensified his killing intent.

"Stop it baby, our daughter's spouses are here." Cassen and others exhaled a relief, thank God they are rememberd.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Bree hit the queen lightly. He produced a mirror from space.

Bree looked at the mirror before infusing his powers in it before giving it to Dylan.

"Keep it securely with you for now and search for a way to put it in Chloe's room." Bree told him.

"Why Dylan, you should know they are like childhood friends?" The queen asked Bree.

"She knows how heartless he is despite being childhood friends." Bree told her.

"You mean..." The queen looked meaningfully at Dylan.

"That's correct." Bree nodded.

"But why did you change its image again, isn't it a tree?. Cassen asked.

"A wish tree." Alex mumbled, they all looked at him before looking away.

" It failed it's mission when it had almost half of my powers." Bree replied to Dylan.

"Ava is in search for it, hide it well." The queen told Dylan.

"Yes mother." Dylan replied.

"Honey, what was with our last piece?" The queen asked Bree.

"He is from that place, the written place. I saw it from his powers." Bree said in an excited voice.

When Alex saw how the mers looked puzzled, he shrugged.

He is also curious about the strange place the king is talking about.

He had been curious about his powers but thinking of something has always been hard.

He looked at Bree before repeating his earlier question." Who is we?"

"All of us here except the five of you" Bree wrapped his hands on Alex head.

"Him, him and him. Was their stake in marrying Chloe?" Alex pointed at silence, general's mer and the sleeping mer before asking.

Everyone looked at him strangely.

"Don't look at me like that, am clever than all of you."

"Marrying Chloe was their stake, their compromise and also their reputation." The queen replied.

"What will be her reaction if she finds out that, she is legally married to them." Nathan asked.

Everybody became silent.

They all knew how dangerous Chloe can be to being controlled.

She hates being forced to do something she doesn't like.

"Which Chloe, the new her or the usual her? If it is the new her then you guys are in for it. Can't you guys just make her fall in love with you?" Bree asked curiously.

"We will try." They all looked crestfallen.

If the legal couples couldn't make her fall for them how could they do so?

"As I was saying earlier before Alex interrupted, we' the five of us' came together make sure everything looked fiction.

That is where Larry came in and his only wish was to become Chloe's wife after everything was over.

Larry is from continent B which deals with system's and pods.

It was a project we started ten years ago meaning he was eight years old at that time.

I made decision without Chloe's approval, but seeing how she cried after the end of every cycle, the helplessness in it, we all decided to bethroth him to her." Bree closed his eyes from the pain he went through during that time.

The helplessness that befalled them without a way to pass through.

He continued " The scriptures say it is Chloe's fate. But this fate has been cruel.

For our plan to be in motion, we needed the help of a priest and a person who is good at mind infiltration and memory masking.

Strangely enough, all of them wished to marry Chloe.

Silence the priest, played a major role in remembering all the plotline while the general's mer used his powers to infiltrate her mind and re arranged the so called plotline.

When Chloe's mind was infiltrated, your's also was done so.

The first and second life memories were masked but the third life memories were still intact.

There is no way we would have wrote the same book thrice that is how the version comes by.

Her memories are erased from all the three lifetimes for her to think it is just a plot in the novel."

He looked at them calmly, "all of you have different roles to play in her life.

Only if you are free and I repeat only if you are completely free, can you start your roles.

Freeing yourselves doesn't need anyone's help but your own help.

Nathan or Killian here, knows how to do so." After he finished speaking he left with the help of the queen.
