" MERO IS AN PRINCESS?!" Everyone expect for Suu, Lala, Serenity, Rachnera and Aiden shouts. The Arachne was taking a nap in her shared attic bedroom. " I knew that she was a princess." Rei says. She didn't want anyone to tease her for not knowing Mero's secret. Gaito rolls his eyes at Rei's attempt to sound cool. " The gothic lolita loving personality is a disguise. Mero's full name is Meroune Lorelei Du Neptune." Sebastian explains to everyone in the living room.

" How could I be so ignorant!" Cerea shouts while bowing to Mero. Shaia also bows to the pink haired mermaid. " What are you guys doing, bow down now!" The heavyweight centaur orders the others. Rachnera enters the living room. The shouting woke her up. Aiden sweat drops at this. The butlers tried to get the others to bow down to. " That's enough you two." Mero gently scolds the fish butlers, while she knocks them unconscious with a big seashell. " Where did she get the seashell?" Gao asks.

" I don't know." Serenity says with a shrug. " Nothing has changed in the house so far." Aiden comments. " Don't go upstairs and the backyard for a while." Kiri told him. Aiden looks surprised to hear that. Papi rushes over to Mero. " Please don't leave, Mero! I don't want you to leave forever!" The harpy cries. " Suu doesn't want Mero to leave too." Suu says with tears going down her face. Rachnera hugs the two crying girls. " Don't be sad. Mero is just visiting her family for a little while." She reassures them.

" Rachnera is right. Besides, look at how happy Mero is right now." Rachel points out. Everyone looks at Mero who was fantasizing about a tragic romance. " I got an idea! Why don't you guys go with me? There's a lovely hotel by the beach." Mero invites her friends. " I'm sorry. But Yukio, Quess, Jelli, Rei, Ran, Kazuka, Dina and I have to stay at home." Yuki apologizes. " I have to do my chores." Honey says. " And I have to work on my to my home." Queen told everyone. " I can't go because of my stupid chest, Chione is asleep and the plants can't go to the beach." Mimi grumbles. Aiden looks confused at this, but he didn't argue.

" Wow! This is amazing!" Serenity exclaims. Aiden chuckles at his little sister's enthusiasm. He was in a limousine with Papi, Mero, Suu, Sein and Serenity. " I'm a little surprise that you didn't know that Mero was a princess." Aiden says to the siren. " Rui and I already knew she was a princess. We were surprised that her secret was revealed." Sein replies.

" Mr. Potemkin. Who is the person that is after Mero?" Serenity asks the butler who was driving. " The Scylla Oct is after the princess. She is a powerful sea witch." Potemkin told her. The limo finally stops at the hotel. " Whoa! It's a castle!" Papi exclaims in joy. " Yay!" Suu simply cheers. Rachel, The boys, Merino, Haru haven't arrived yet. But the rest go inside the castle-like hotel.

" It looks like an aquarium!" Shiana says in amazement. Serenity notices Suu running out of the hotel. " Suu! Come back!" Serenity shouts as she chases after the slime. Rachnera follows the young girl. Suu runs over to Rachel who had just arrived. The slime hugs the woman and whimpers in fear. " What scared Suu?" Rachel questions her adopted daughter and Rachnera. " I don't know." Serenity replies. " Slimes are scared of big bodies of water." Merino reminds them.

At the moment, Aiden and his group minus the mermaids appears. They were soaking wet. " You should have warned us that the hotel is filled with water!" Sabrina growls at the butlers. " No wonder Suu is scared. She would've been killed if she was in all that water." Rachel comments. " " I'm terribly sorry about that. There is an hotel for airbreathers." Potemkin apologizes.

" But we didn't bring anything with us!" Miia exclaims. " You're wrong about that. Rachel packed everyone's swimsuits and swim trunks for the beach." Haru told the lamia. Aiden was surprised, but he didn't complain.

" The sand is making my hooves uncomfortable." Khep whimpers. She was wearing a yellow swimsuit with a small hole for her tail. " You'll get used to it." Merino comforts the other pan faun. She was wearing a blue swimsuit with a pale green stripe. Cathyl was trying to straighten her black and white bikini. " Catch the ball Papi!" Serenity calls out with a laugh. She was playing in the shallow water with Suu, Papi, Lilith, Luz and the boys.

Serenity was wearing a pink swimsuit with a little bow on it. Papi, Lilith and Luz were in their old type sukumizu swimsuits. Gao, Kiri and Gaito were in their red, blue and black swim trunks. Suu was simply wearing a diving suit. " Those guys are having fun." Rachel chuckles. She was in her gold color bikini. " Yeah. I feel bad that I didn't want to swim." Aiden mumbles.

Cerea, Shaia, Tsen and Keros were in their dark blue, silver, orange and violet bikini tops and pareos. The centaur women were taking an relaxing walk. Haru was reading a book and ignoring Shiana's jealous look. The raptor harpy is wearing a beautiful white bikini. The other girls minus Miia wasn't wearing bikinis. Dina in a fit of jealously burnt Kagura, Draco, Shiana, Sabrina, Alexis, Mara and Lucine's bikinis.

Rachel had promised to buy them new bikinis when they get home. "Hey Honey! Look at what I caught!" Rachnera calls out as she drags a ice cooler towards Aiden. Aiden avoids staring at Rachnera's revealing bikini. He opens the ice cooler and was to see that is filled with stingrays. Aiden raises an eyebrow at the sight. " This is a lot of stingrays." He comments.

" These things were the only things I could catch." Rachnera huffs. Aiden feel someone tugging at his sleeve. He turns around to see Suu who was holding a crab in her hands. " Master. What is this?"Suu asks him. " It's a crab." Aiden tells her with a chuckle. The onyx eyed man was startled when he hears several people screaming.

He was stunned to see a big group of crabs leaving the hotel. "What's going on!?" Serenity exclaimed as the crabs scuttled to the ocean. " Prince! Something terrible has happened!" Rui shouts as she rolls her wheelchair towards Aiden. " What's wrong?" Aden asks in concern. " Mero has been kidnapped by the sea witch!" Rui exclaims.

Aden felt his blood run cold. The thought of Mero in danger terrified him. " I will rescue her!" Widen vows. He wasn't going to let anyone harm a member of his family.

" Are you sure Oct lives in this cave?" Miia asks the fish butler. Aden, Cerea, Rachnera, Shaia, Miia and Suu were on a boat. They had just arrived at cave by the ocean. " Of course we are sure. Sebastian and I had been here before for advice from Oct." Potemkin replies. " Wait a minute! You guys been here before?!" Aden shouts in disbelief. Sebastian and Potemkin merely whistle.

" These butlers are imbeciles." Shaia mutters. Once the six were off the boat. Potemkin and Sebastian take off with the boat! " Jerks!" Miia yells at the far away boat. Aiden was furious at the butlers actions. " They better be lucky that I can't beat them up." Aiden mumbles with a dark tone in his voice. " Master. We should ignore this situation for now." Cerea advises the man.

Aden nods before he looks at Suu. " I need you to stay here, Suu. If Potemkin and Sebastian come back. You have my permission to do whatever you want to do with them." Aden tells the slime. " Okay." Suu chimes with a cute smile. The five enter the cave. " This reminds me of a horror movie." Miia says while cautiously look around. She then felt something go under her shirt.

" Oh Darling~ You are being very frisky today~" Miia purrs. She thought Aden had his hand under her shirt. " What are you talking about, Miia?" Aiden asks in confusion. That's when the lamia realize that Aiden was over by the centaur women. Miia lifts up her shirt to see tentacles! " Get them off me!" Miia shrieks in terror. Shaia rushes over to help Miia. Aiden quickly spots the giant sea anemones.

" Shaia! Watch out!" Aden warns her. The warning came too late as Shaia got caught by the sea anemones. The sea anemone's tentacles then reaches out for Cerea! She fends off the tentacles with her sword. It took the tentacles three minutes to finally capture her. Aiden could only watch as the three eventually collapse in exhaustion" Oh my~ A handsome man decided to visit me~" A feminine voice seductively purrs.

Aiden turns around to see a woman wearing a loose cloak with a slingshot micro bikini. Her legs were multiple tentacles and her hair was made of tentacles. "She must be Oct." Aiden thought. Oct curls her tentacles around Aiden. " Since my pets were having fun. I shall have my fun with you." Oct softly chuckles. Before she could do anything. Rachnera ties up Oct with her webs!

" You really should've pay attention to your surroundings."Rachnera told the Scylla. " You set a trap from the start and this guy was your bait!" Oct hissed. The arachne looks confused for a second. " Yeah that's it!" Rachnera smiles. " You made that up." Aiden thought. He then notices a shadowy figure walking towards him, Rachnera and Oct. " Suu. Is that you?" Aiden asks nervously. Something was wrong with the slime. He didn't know what was wrong but it made him nervous.

" Hey Suu. Help me out here." Rachnera said without realizing something was different about Suu. " Help... sure." Suu coos with a smirk. The slime was now fully visible. Her diving suit was unzipped past her breasts that were as big Shaia's breasts. " Is this because she absorbed too much sea water? If the sea is the mother of life than did Suu become motherly?" Aiden thought.

" Well then, let Suu help you out." The slime smiles as she molest the three. As Aden, Rachnera and Oct lay down on the cave floor exhausted. Mero appears in her wheelchair. " What are you all doing here?" She asks before she notices everyone's condition. " Miss Oct! What happened here?!" Aiden stares at Mero in surprise. She just called her kidnapper Miss Oct.

Oct quickly stands up and points at Suu. " Princess stay back! That slime is the devil!" The Scylla yells. " Fufufu. Talking back are we?" Suu laughs.

" I'm so sorry! I thought you were with the mermaids!" Oct laughs while making takoyaki. She looks at Rachnera. " You are really good with your webs. You must be great bondage." Oct complements the arachne. " I am and thank you." Rachnera smiles at the complement. "What about Suu? Suu asks. " You are never allowed near the ocean again." Oct and Rachnera says at the same time.

" But why did you kidnap Mero?" Miia asks. " And what about the stingrays and crabs?" Oct rubs the back of her neck. " Well I had something important to tell the princess. This wasn't what I want at all!" Oct says.

" It wasn't a kidnapping. I offered to go with her. The rumor about Miss Oct tricking people into eloping is a lie." Mero told Aiden. " While the elopement is a problem among mermaids it's not Miss Oct's fault. People still think she has magic, but that should make the rumor false."

" Everyone always thinks I'm a fairytale sea witch. I used the stingrays and crabs for a distraction, so I could talk with the princess and clear up the misunderstanding. But there were still too many people around so we ran out and I left a note." Oct frowns as she finishes making the takoyaki. " Can you use your authority as a princess to clear Oct's name, Mero?" Shaia asks. " Unfortunately no. My mother the queen is the only one who can clear Miss Oct's name." Mero replies.

" Then we should go ask the queen to stop the rumors now!" Aiden announces. Oct smiles and hugs him. " Thank you! I'll give you a good reward later." Oct says. Aiden blushes because his face is pressed against the Scylla's breasts. " Excuse me, Oct. Do you have bag or anything like that? I know a few people who like to eat the takoyaki." Cerea asks.

" I got something around here to take the takoyaki to go." Oct replied as she looks around. Aiden was lost in his thoughts at this moment. Would the queen agree to clear Oct's name? He had a strange feeling that there was a chance the queen started the rumors and framed Oct. But why would she do that? Aiden realizes that questions he has will be answered soon. A big part of him knew that he wouldn't like the answers.

Next up Aiden and Mero confronts the mermaid queen and Aiden ends up in the hospital in the next chapter.
