Merman, I'M In Love!
A Strong Belief

Medelline walked back from the temple of Zeus. After the old woman dressed as a fisherman left, she decided to continue her life elsewhere. It can't be far from the ocean. In his heart, he still felt disappointed in his father. Who asked him to throw away his love fruit with Cyrano.

After walking long enough down the rocky road, Medelline arrived at a village that is also not far from the ocean. Only, the place was not reached by high waves because the place was also high. However, the waves were still heard from the place.

Starting from the beginning is not easy. Moreover, Medelline carried nothing but herself. He found a very crowded store. Smelling the food makes him hungry.

Medelline approached the woman she thought was the owner of the store. Women with a distinctive head covering. His face was so friendly that he always wore a smile. His hands were busy carrying food on the tray, coming here and there.

"Mrs, I'm so hungry. But I don't have anything, can you hire me, so I can pay for my food?"

The woman looked at Medelline from head to toe.

"You want to work hard? If so, you're welcome and can work today."

Medelline smiled happily. He immediately took over the tray from the woman's hand.

"Where should I deliver this?"

After the shop owner showed her the place, she returned to deliver another order.

The day is getting late. Medelline was exhausted, she sat in the corner of the store that was already closed. Eating the food that the shop owner gave me greedily. The shopkeeper smiled, then sat down in front of him.

"You run away from home or what? Girl as beautiful as you, why choose to work in a place like this?"

Medelline put the pieces of bread back into the tray.

"I just don't want to bother my dad. Because I'm carrying a baby."

The woman was surprised.

"You pregnant? And you worked that hard for this food?" Then the woman shed tears.

"I'm .. I'm not as weak as you might think, ma'am. I'm ...."

"I remember my daughter. She died giving birth to her son. She also worked hard during pregnancy. One day, he said that there was a br*ngsek man who tricked him. And I failed to protect my daughter."

Medelline patted the back of the shopkeeper's hand gently.

"Me, Luciana. You can work here. Then what do you want? I can't give you much. You know that, don't you?"

Medelline smiled.

"You gave me enough food for me, Mrs Luci. At least for my son's nutrition. For money or other wages, I don't mind."

"Do you have a place to stay?"

Medelline.

Luciana asked Medelline to follow after she finished eating. A little while later, the two of them arrived at a narrow room behind the tavern. Right next to the kitchen not far from a rather large room.

"Not too broad. This was where my daughter slept. I slept in that room. You can sleep here. Oh, aye. What's yourname?"

"Thank you, Madam. This is more than enough. I will work hard to help you. My name is Medelline."

"Ah, what a beautiful name!"

Medelline laid down her body in the small room, after Luciana returned to her room. The roar of wind and the waves were heard from the room. He looked at the ceiling of the room, sleeping.

When the sun came up, the shop opened. Many customers have arrived. Some customers admire the beauty of Medelline. But with a motherly attitude, Luciana protects him from the nosy hands of customers. Even the woman hit several young men who tried to touch the woman who worked for her.

"You can tease me, but keep your arms and mouth away from my son!" sergeant Luciana to one of the customers.

Medelline had just asked for an order from two men in their thirties who had just arrived. He heard the conversation of the two men. Which turned out to be fishermen. Complaining that the sea after a few days is still turbulent. If that continues, they will lose their source of livelihood.

After closing the shop early, Medelline asked Luciana for permission to go out for a while.

"Do I need to be with you?"

"No need, Madam."

Medelline walked towards the bay of Orelia. Half an hour's drive from where he lives now. The ocean is still not calm. As he sat on the rock, a huge wave headed towards him. Suddenly a glowing female appeared, holding back the wave and breaking it.

"Don't approach the waters first, it's dangerous!"

"Who are you?"

"I am a Nereid guard of this bay. The queen asked us to stand guard in a place where humans might be wretched."

"So you're here this time?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"What happened to the ocean like this?"

"The Mertopia army attacked our residence. We tried to survive, so that this natural phenomenon occurred."

"Wait on! So, Cyrano was also involved in this?"

"It's precisely because we're protecting the prince. He was accused of attempting to assassinate the ruler of Mertopia. King Triton. We do not believe that the prince is capable of such a heinous thing. The Nereids did not like dissension, but if we were attacked. We fight."

Medelline was stunned by Nereid's explanation. He did not expect it to be the cause of the chaos of the ocean. That means, Cyrano didn't show up a while ago, because of that problem.

Once again, Medelline cried. He feels guilty. It's possible that Cyrano tried to meet him in this Gulf, a few days ago. However, he cannot.

Medelline ran towards the waters. He did not care even though the nereid had tried to hold him back. The woman called out Cyrano's name. The waves loomed before him, but he was not afraid at all. The sea elf attempts to protect her by creating an energy shield. Hurry up and keep him away from the waterfront.

"It's really dangerous. I can't protect you constantly, ma'am. Go home! As the ocean improves. Come back here."

"No! Nah! I want to meet my husband. I want to see it, I beg you!"

"Please don't be stubborn and listen to me! We are trying to overcome this chaos. For the good of our nation and of man."

The Nereid restrains Medelline, distancing the woman from the high-wave rage. Yet, he was constantly struggling. Some of the Nereids around the waters that heard, came to the surface.

"What's wrong?"

"She is the prince's wife, she wants to see the prince. Cover her! I'm afraid Merman's men will be after him, too. I wonder, why is it that human power can be that strong?"

Some of the Nereids held off Medelline who continued to try to plunge herself into the raging sea surface. As if not afraid of death, the woman continued to try to escape.

A group of Merman, emerged from the high waves. Swim fast to Medelline.
