136 Ch. 136 Foster Sister (1/2)

”You have a tail!?” exclaimed Merylin could hardly believe it.

Niken herself also looked blank because she didn't know that her magic circle could give her a mermaid tail. At first, she thought her magic circle would cover only her face so she could breathe and talk in the water. Who would have thought she even had a tail?

”Niken, who are you, really?”

Niken scratched the nape of her neck that was not itchy awkwardly. She was the Princess from the Nishian kingdom and sole inheritor of Time Master, but she was unsure whether this world had Nishian island.

Merylin swam closer and held her hand cheerfully. ”From now on, I will adopt you as my sister.”

”Ah?”

”I wonder who is older? How old are you?”

”Seventeen?”

Merylin smiled broadly at that. ”From now on, I will be your elder sister. Come on, follow me.”

Without waiting for an answer, Merylin immediately pulled Niken to swim quickly to dive into their kingdom. Niken's heartfelt ecstatic that she could match her swimming speed with Merylin. She felt like she had a real tail.

”Have you had your meal? Surely you haven't, right?” Merylin called her attendants and asked them to serve the best meal for her new adoptive sister.

Niken was too astonished at many kinds of delicious meals in front of her eyes. Whatever she had felt before like her worry, her anxious and afraidness, now long gone replaced with these supremptous meals.

Niken, who had not eaten for nearly a week because she was unconscious, immediately devoured all of the delicious food. For the time being, she must satiate her hunger first before starting a long-winded discussion with Merylin.

Merylin giggled at Niken's behavior as if she hadn't eaten for a week. Uh, isn't that girl really had not eating for a week?

Realizing this important fact, Merylin called the servant to get some healthy soups to increase Niken's vitality and stamina.

Miraculously, even though they were in the water, soup or other liquid objects remained in their place and did not blend with the lake water. That way, they could still enjoy the dish without fear of being mixed with the taste of lake water.

After finishing several portions of food, Niken swam up from her chair to lay her body floating in the water while rubbing her stomach.

”I feel so full. It's been a while I ate so many meats. Thank you, Princess, for the food.”

Merylin smiled broadly at that. ”My pleasure.”

Niken was still floating while waiting for the servants to clean all the dirty dishes and leftovers from the table. After making sure there was no one there, Niken sat down again facing Merylin.

”Princess Merylin, I have something to tell you. But this is very secret. Can we talk in a more private place so no one would listen to us?”

”Sure. We can talk in my room.”

Well, the room mentioned by the mermaid princess was totally different from what she imagined. Merylin's place was a gigantic pearl oyster. Its height was almost equal to a tree, while its width was nearly as spacious as the Bieger Academy grounds.

The clam stands upright with its mouth tightly closed toward the surface.

”Pilsbry, I'm home.”

The clam's mouth opened, and Niken was stunned by what she saw. She did not see pearls as she had thought but were exactly like a royal princess's room. The interior was so grand fitted as a princess's room.

There was a large-sized coral-shape bed with four pillars in each corner of the bed and gold valance attached to each pole like a canopy. There were a dressing table and leaf-shaped bookcase and pearl jewelry cabinets.

Well, Niken was not that surprised as she was once a princess and had a room as extravagant like this. But she was surprised there was a royal princess room inside this gigantic oyster!

Niken was unaware that Merylin had dragged her into her 'room' Then, the clam's mouth closed again. Niken was stunned when she saw surround her. She felt like she was in a cage for not finding the exit; at the same time, Niken imagined she was in a large and luxurious room.

Miraculously, the room's state was still bright even though the clam's mouth was tightly closed. There was yellowish plankton that adorns around the mouth of the oyster, making the room not dark.

”Now, we can talk safely here. What do you think?”

”This... This is amazing. I never imagined I'd would ever go inside a clam's stomach.”

Merylin chuckled, hearing that. ”It's called Pilsbry.”

”What?”

”My room's name is Pilsbry.”
