"She looks sort of like a boy. Is there something you're not telling me?" Wrath asked his very best friend.

"Just you wait until we're closer." Alfons promised.

Wrath nodded, but didn't seem to believe that promise.

Alfons froze at the shoreline to not reveal more of his merself, and out of the awe at that he experienced at seeing Edlynn Elric again.

"Thank you for uh rescuing me." A female voice came from the human, confirming what Alfons had told Wrath.

The human girl spun on her heel to leave.

"Wait! Please tell me your name." Alfons called out.

"Edlynn Elric." Was the human girl's answer before she left the beach.


Alfons replayed her voice in his head as well as her name.

"Alfons. Time to meet them." The King, Alfons's father, told him.

Alfons got up, and wandered down to the ballroom that was connected to the dining room by a small door.

Alfons noticed the line up of women that were waiting for him; they were considered the prettiest, and wealthiest mermaids out of all the ocean.

None of them seemed all that attractive to Alfons Heiderich.

Lilac was one of the mergirls that had arrived, and definately stood out from the group with her wavy, light brown hair, and slender frame. Her green eyes glistened like emeralds, and her top was made out of pearls.

Alfons knew that the real torture would begin when he talked to each and everyone of them.

He took them one at a time to the dining room to talk while they ate.

Most only ate a light, seaweed salad, and couldn't stop talking about themselves.

Alfons let his mind wander off for a little while.

'I doubt that Edlynn only eats a small salad.' Alfons mused as he dined with one of the many mermaids that had shown up.
