201 Ch. 201 Saparate Ways (1/2)

That's why she didn't expect the drastic change between the two at all.

The daemon picked up the mermaid queen's hand and give a feather kiss on the smooth hand as if it was the most natural thing to do, and Merylin let him do it!?

”Niken, why do you look at us like that?” Flynn's question broke Niken's reveries, earning a head shake from Niken.

”It's nothing. I suppose I'm not used to it.”

”Used to what?” Flynn and Merylin looked at each other questioningly before turning their attention back to Niken.

”When I first came back from the past, I saw Merylin as an evil spirit, then I met you. Your personality and character are so different from what I've experienced in the past. Then now, you and Merylin are back to normal.” Niken looked straight at Flynn while the daemon gave a teasing smile. ”But you still... different. I don't recognize you at all. Have you had a concussion?”

Merylin chuckled as she walked to hug Niken tightly.

”For your information, we actually have been in a relationship for a long time ago. But we decided to keep our relationship a secret.”

”What?” Niken gasped in disbelief at what she had just heard. ”Why?”

”Frankly speaking, my mother, the former queen of Mermaladia, against our relationship. The relationship between the two different species was unprecedented. That's why we kept our relationship secret and have a backstreet relationship.”

”But there are many species that are married to different kinds. Ceryle married a tortoise shapeshifter, while the pureblood wizard married a mermaid. I have had no problem establishing relationships with other species.”

”Yes. But unfortunately, relationships between different species were rare in the past. They even called it a taboo to make another kind as their spouse. That's why I'm so grateful everything change in a better way, so we can show our relationship in public. I just hope my mom is still alive so she can give us her blessings.”

”I'm sure she will happy for you.”

Once again, Merylin embraced Niken with feelings of gratitude for all the things that Niken had done for her.

Niken glanced at Flynn, who now smiled softly at her, making Niken realized something. Merylin's existence was the source of the daemon's life axis.

That's why Flynn let the devil inside his heart take over his mind in thought Merylin wouldn't come back.

That's the reason why Flynn wouldn't respond to her voice but reacted when Niken mentioned Merylin's name.

Ah, she never knew that Flynn had such deep feelings for Merylin to make him sane again and not get caught up in his murderous instinct.

”En. We're leaving for Beast country tomorrow morning.”

”Can't you leave next week? We only just met for a week.”

”Are you sure? I think I'll be a nuisance between you two if I linger here.”

Merylin's cheeks blushed, ”Ah, Niken. Stop teasing me.” her complaint elicited an amused laugh from Niken.

”Don't worry, if someday you have a wedding party, I will definitely come.”

Merylin choked on her own saliva when she heard the word 'marriage.'

”Uhm. Niken, do you know what marriage means to beings like us?”

”Is it different from what marriage means to humans?”

”A lot. On the day we consummate our marriage, that's our wedding day.”

Niken's eyes widened at this. ”What? There are no ceremonies or traditions to do?”

Merylin shook her head with a sullen face. ”But after hearing your words, I think I want to try it.”
