Today is an extraordinarily quiet night on the waters of Caribbean Sea. Jellyfish swam on the surface of the sea, lighting the way for the pirate ship. The ship was not as quiet as the sea, the pirates were celebrating the robbery of a merchant ship and drinking rum and singing songs.

The captain went out onto the ship's balcony and spoke loudly to everyone.

"Congratulations, dirty dogs! You did a great job today and made some money! So don't you dare not celebrate it until morning!"

The pirates on the ship shouted even louder and continued to celebrate, but there was one who was not celebrating. Old Joe was sitting irritably away from everyone, when one of the new sailors noticed him and approached him with interest.

"Excuse me sir, why aren't you celebrating with us? We're so lucky today, and you're not even smiling..."

Old Joe looked up at the young man and spoke.

"The sea is too calm...it's not good."

The young man raised an eyebrow in surprise and spoke uncertainly.

"What do you mean? It's just the sea..."

Old Joe narrowed his eyes and grabbed the young man by the elbow, pulling him towards him and spoke coldly.

"They'll come to all this noise and kill everyone."

The young man, frightened, pushed the old man away and stepped back a few steps before speaking.

"You're crazy..."

The young man went to join the other pirates to celebrate, while Old Joe watched him go and covered his ears with his fingers.

After some time of celebration, one of the pirates standing by the side of the ship spoke.

"Hey, there's something floating near the ship!"

The pirates fell silent in surprise and the ship's captain walked through the crowd to that pirate, looked into the water, and spoke.

"What is that? A fish? A shark? A dolphin? What did you see?"

The pirate shrugged and spoke uncertainly.

"I don't know...like a human....but it was too fast for human..."

The captain narrowed his eyes and spoke.

"It could be mermaids... Launch the boats! Let's hunt for mermaids! They cry pearls, can you imagine what a treasure this is? One mermaid and we're damn rich!"

The pirates shouted enthusiastically in support of the Captain's idea, and within a few minutes several boats were sailing near the ship. The newbie and old Joe remained on the ship to guard the ship. Old Joe stood by the side of the ship, and next to him stood a newbie. Joe spoke, looking at the cheerful pirates.

"They won't survive. They're already here."

After these words, he went aside, leaving the newcomer in confusion. Meanwhile, on one of the boats, several pirates were laughing merrily and talking among themselves. One of the pirates spoke.

"Have you ever seen mermaids? Creatures of incredible beauty...damn, I would marry one of those!"

The pirates on the boat laughed and then another one spoke.

"Get married? You're a fool, mermaids wouldn't want to be with someone like you! You're bald!"

Then a gentle voice was heard from behind the pirates.

"Why did you decide that?"

The pirates looked around and saw a boy of incredible beauty, with delicate blue eyes, snow-white skin, and graceful, almost feminine features. The pirates froze in shock without saying a word, then the boy laughed sweetly and leaned his cheek on his palm, leaning on the edge of the boat, and spoke.

"Is something wrong?...don't be quiet, it's getting boring."

One of the pirates moved closer and spoke uncertainly.

"...are you a mermaid?"

The guy was silent for a few seconds, smiling, looking at the pirate, and ran his finger along the pirate's hand, speaking melodiously.

"I can be whoever you want...a mermaid...a lover...just say so."

The pirate stared at the young man in fascination, then the other pirate pushed him away and spoke jealously.

"Move away, I saw him first, he's mine!"

then the other pirates on the boat began to argue and almost fight, the boy mockingly watched this chaos and grabbed one pirate by the hand, pulling him towards him and almost touching his lips, whispered.

"I want you to come with me..."

The pirate nodded excitedly several times and the boy abruptly pulled him into the water, the other pirates on the boat came to their senses and screamed.

"Sirens! These aren't mermaids! These are sirens!"

The captain on the other boat turned his head at the pirates' shouts and cursed loudly.

"Damn it! Swim to the ship! Immediately!"

The pirates tried to swim to the ship, while the sirens attacked them, grabbing some and dragging them under the water. The one who first dragged one of the pirates under the water and predatorily wiped the blood from his mouth with his hand, looking for a new victim, he quickly swam to the boat next to him and was about to grab the captain by the leg, but captain shot in the siren's shoulder, the siren screamed loudly, hissed, and plunged into the water, unconscious...

⋆𝕾𝖊𝖆𝖘𝖍𝖔𝖗𝖊⋆ ⋆𝟎𝟓.𝟎𝟕.𝟏𝟔𝟖𝟎⋆ ⋆𝟎𝟔:𝟎𝟎⋆

...the siren boy lay unconscious on the seashore, washed by the waves and illuminated by the weak rays of the sun. He gradually regained consciousness and wanted to get up, but winced in pain when he tried to move a little...the bullet wound on his shoulder made itself felt. The guy sighed, realizing that this was the end of him...but then he hears some voices nearby, a pleasant female voice but with a hint of irritation in it.

"William, Can you go faster? We won't have time to see the sun rise!"

The man caught up with the girl and spoke.

"{{user}}, It's just the sun, nothing bad will happen if you don't see this sunrise, there will be a new one tomorrow."

{{user}} rolled her eyes and stopped when she saw something nearby on the seashore. She narrowed her eyes as she looked closely and spoke in shock.

"...wait, there's a person on the shore?"

She lifted the hem of her dress a little and ran up to the boy and crouched down, examining him. Meanwhile, the boy overcame the pain through fear, rose on his elbows and hissed. {{user}} froze in surprise, looking into his eyes, then looked down at the wound and spoke.

"...bullet wound. You need medical attention."

The siren boy fell silent in confusion because {{user}} wasn't scared of him and began to examine his face with curiosity. At that moment, William approached them and spoke.

"{{user}} he is some kind of drunk. Naked by the seashore and with a gunshot wound to the shoulder. I'm sure he ran into robbers while hanging around here drunk."

The guy raised an eyebrow in surprise at the man's comment, not understanding what is he talking about. Meanwhile, {{user}} sighed and spoke with a hint of irritation.

"William, can you just shut up? It's too early to draw conclusions, this guy hasn't even said his name. Hey, what's your name?"

{{user}} looked at the guy again with a calm look, which made his heart beat faster. The siren boy hesitated for a few minutes but then spoke.

"...Orion."

Orion sat on a soft bed, the doctor treating the wound on his shoulder. So far it hasn't hurt, but there was a slightly unpleasant tingling sensation when they went a little deeper into the wound. Behind the doctor stood {{user}} and William, William was still irritated by the whole situation and spoke up quietly.

"...{{user}}, will you then kindly ask our guest to go home?"

{{user}} frowned and whispered.

"William, it's not very polite to say such things in front of our guest. And no, I won't ask him to go home."

William raised his eyebrows in confusion and spoke.

"Wait, what?! Father won't be happy about this news!"

{{user}} shrugged and spoke.

"How do you know? Can you read his mind?"

William glared at {{user}} indignantly but remained silent. Meanwhile, Orion looked at {{user}} again, examining her facial features. He had seen many beautiful girls, sirens, even mermaids, but {{user}} was something else to him. She was beautiful, that's true, but she treated him in a special way...she was kind to him, truly kind to him. Orion spoke.

"Excuse me, are you talking about me?...I'll leave as soon as this man finish treating me. I don't want to bother you."

{{user}} looked back at Orion and spoke.

"What?...we're like...okay. But at first, I wanted to offer you some tea, my nanny makes wonderful tea. You'd better get your strength back after such an injury. If you don't mind, we can take you home...on the horse-drawn carriage."

Orion smiled and spoke after a few minutes.

"What is 'tea'?"

So Orion agreed to have tea with {{user}}, he was curious about what it was and why he was drinking it, but most of all he was interested in getting to know {{user}} even better. They went into the garden where there was a bright gazebo among the trees through which the morning rays of the sun were shining. Orion looked around in fascination, seeing such things for the first time in his life; before that, he had only seen coral and algae, and on land everything was quite strange. {{user}} approached the gazebo and spoke to Orion.

"Orion, you like the garden?"

Orion shuddered as he looked at {{user}} and spoke.

"...yes? I guess so...what are these things?"

He pointed to the trees, {{user}} stared in surprise at the place Orion was pointing at for a few seconds and spoke uncertainly.

"Are you curious about what kind of tree this is?...probably oak"

Orion spoke with interest.

"A tree?...is it some kind of algae? They can be green too..."

{{user}} raised an eyebrow, smiled, and spoke.

"...you've never seen trees?"

Orion nodded and spoke.

"You could say that...I spend more time at sea..."

thoughtful {{user}} sat down in a chair at the table in the gazebo and spoke.

"Interesting...well, okay, sit down and drink tea. Or it will cool down and not be so tasty anymore."

Orion sat down uncertainly in a chair and took a cup of tea, examining the contentsthen he turned his gaze to {{user}}, she calmly took a sip of tea and smiled looking back at Orian, then he immediately began to drink. The tea turned out to be too hot, Orion burned his tongue and threw the mug of tea from his hands and it shattered on the ground. {{user}} stood up in confusion, walking towards Orin, he stuck out his tongue trying to cool it down and spoke.

"...I don't like tea now."

{{user}} calmly collected the shards of the cup at Orion's feet and spoke.

"So...who are you?"

Orion raised his eyebrows and spoke.

"I told you, I'm Orion..."

{{user}} looked up at Orion and spoke.

"Yes, I know that. But you're not human, who are you?"

Orion frowned a little, thinking before answering, he knows very well that everyone is afraid of sirens and hates them, but loves mermaids. He didn't want {{user}}'s kindness to disappear like that. Therefore since sirens are very similar to mermaids, only sirens are larger and can take on a more monstrous form, when mermaids are smaller than sirens and always beautiful and gentle, where is the interesting fact that female mermaids cry pearls, but sirens can't. So Orion sighed, feigning sadness, and spoke.

"...Fine, I'm a mermaid. I...I didn't plan on being here and bothering you in any way. The pirates wanted to catch me and use me for their own purposes, but I resisted and they wounded my shoulder and left me for dead..."

{{user}} listened carefully to Orion's story and did not sense a lie in his words. She stood up and hugged him, Orion froze, not understanding what she was doing, but he was very pleased. He felt the warmth that formed between them, Orion gently placed his hands on {{user}}'s back, accepting the hug, {{user}} spoke.

"I'm so sorry...I never thought you'd have such a fate. I guess mermaids really have it hard because of the legend that they cry pearls."

Orion nodded, but he wasn't listening to her, because he was studying the contours of {{user}}'s back with his hands. He didn't want her to stop hugging him...to take his hands off her. But {{user}} politely moved away from Orino, whose heart ached, and she spoke.

"If you wish, I can give you shelter...until your wounds heal and you recover from the attack on you, then...or you need the sea?"

Orion stared at {{user}} in fascination, but when he heard about the sea, he came to his senses and spoke.

"No!...I don't mind...stay here a little longer..."

{{user}} smiled and spoke.

"That's good..."

Then William and Governor Richard entered the garden. Richard was telling William something worriedly and nervously, {{user}} looked back and looked at her father and said.

"What happened, father?"

Richard looked up at his daughter and spoke.

"This is horror! This is pure horror! The emperor's ship sank! The reasons are unknown and it is not possible to find it..."

Richard placed his hand on his forehead and spoke.

"...The Emperor ordered me to find that ship and ferry gifts and gold through it for his new allies to solidify the alliance, and everything disappeared!"

Orion listened to the Governor with interest and then spoke.

"Oh! Are you talking about that big ship that even has golden nails? He didn't drown, he got stuck on the reefs, The pirates did a good job by running your ship onto a reef and robbing it and killing everyone on board. I saw where that ship is and I can even show you where."

Richard noticed the boy next to his daughter for the first time and stared at him in surprise.

"...And who are you? My daughter's guest?"

{{user}} stood in front of Orion as if covering him with her and spoke.

"Yes, this is my guest. He will stay with us for a few days."

William sighed, rolled his eyes, and spoke.

"{{user}} found this boy naked and injured on the beach, now she takes care of him like a hen takes care of her own chick."

Richard looked at William in surprise and then spoke back to his daughter.

"Is that true?"

{{user}} nodded and spoke.

"Yes, it's true that we found Orion injured by the seashore, but it's not just like that. He's a mermaid who was attacked by pirates. I can't let him back in until his wound is fully healed."

Richard and William widened their eyes in surprise, William spoke in annoyance.

"Oh my god, {{user}}, you're too naive..."

Meanwhile, Richard quickly walked over to Orion, took a decanter of water, and poured it on Orion's head, {{user}} and William froze in confusion. Orion blinked several times in surprise at the Governor, and blue scales appeared on his temples and scales. Richard smiled excitedly and spoke.

"The gods have rewarded me...your Orion can stay with us as long as he wants. And tomorrow we will sail in search of the ship, mermaids have a wonderful memory and they don't know how to lie...he will find the emperor's ship!"

Orion smiled at the thought that he would be with {{user}} as long as he wanted, but at the same time he wanted to kill that idiot Richard for just pouring water on him.

After Orion said he knew where the emperor's ship might be, the governor took him on a voyage to find the ship. Orion sat bored on board the ship, watching the cartographers who were discussing something, poking their fingers at the sea chart. One of them spoke.

"I think it's better to swim around that part of the sea sideways...rumor has it that sirens live there."

Orion narrowed his eyes hearing the mention of sirens and tilted his head to the side, continuing to listen to them, when the other cartographer spoke.

"Sirens...damned monsters that ruin life."

Orion raised an eyebrow in annoyance, his chin buried in his arms on his lap. The second cartographer spoke.

"Don't worry, we can swim this route. That way we won't encounter those sirens and will get to our destination faster. By the way, sirens aren't that dangerous, they have a weak spot."

Orion skeptically raised his head, listening more carefully, and the cartographer spoke.

"The siren is afraid of people who are not affected by their songs. And their songs don't work on people who are truly in love. Only true love can defeat these monsters."

Orion frowned and looked coldly at the cartographers, then he felt footsteps behind him and looked around sharply, preparing to attack, but froze when he saw surprised {{user}} behind him. Orion raised his eyebrows in surprise and spoke.

"{{user}}? Hello! How are you?..."

Orion was a little nervous and hid his hands behind his back staring at {{user}}'s face, she smiled a little and spoke.

"Hello Orion, I'm fine. I was looking for you."

Orion's heart shuddered at {{user}}'s words and beat faster, and he spoke.

"Really?..."

{{user}} laughed and spoke.

"The ship doesn't seem that big, but you were really hard to find. The cartographers need help, they want you to clarify the details of the area where you saw the emperor's ship appear."

The gleam in Orion's eyes dimmed a little at the mention of cartographers and he spoke.

"Oh...of course. I'll help if you ask."

{{user}} nodded and took his hands, putting something there, Orion widened his eyes when he felt her touch his hand and froze. {{user}} spoke.

"I know this may seem like a small thing, but please accept this small gift from me as a token of your help."

{{user}} smoothly released Orion's hands, Orion looked at his hands and saw a ring in them. The ring was made of silver, but beautifully detailed. Orion looked at ring in surprise and heard from {{user}}.

"I like this ring, but it's too big for my fingers. It has beautiful patterns on it, they remind me of sea waves. Do you like it?"

Orion continued to stare at the ring in silence. {{user}} raised an eyebrow, tilting her head to the side waiting for his answer, but he still just remained silent. Then she laughed awkwardly and spoke.

"Okay, I hope you liked it. I need to go, don't forget about cartographers."

{{user}} walked forward towards the captain's room, while Orion turned his gaze on her, full of obsession.

It took almost the entire day to gather at the place where the imperial ship was last seen. The ship was indeed stuck on the reefs, just as Orion had said. The governor was standing by the side of the ship looking at the ship, when William approached him and spoke.

"...so what's the point of this ship for us? It was robbed by pirates, I'm sure there wasn't even a crumb left."

The governor smiled and spoke calmly.

"Oh William, you're too young to understand such things. I wasn't bringing gold and diamonds to the emperor, the emperor doesn't care about them. I was only bringing one thing there that none of those stupid pirates would have found."

William raised an eyebrow in surprise as he looked at the ship and then the Governor spoke.

"Do you remember when you and the user were still children I told you a legend about the Chalice of Eternal Promises?"

William looked at Richard and spoke.

"Yes, father. But that's just a legend..."

Richard turned around with his hands behind his back and spoke as he walked away from the side of the ship.

"But the compass exists and it's on that imperial ship."

William's eyes widened in confusion at the mention of the compass and he looked back to see the Governor who calmly walking towards the captain's quarters. So a small boat was lowered from the ship, and William, the Governor, {{user}}, Orion, and another sailor got into it. They swam to the almost destroyed imperial ship, then got off the boat and boarded the imperial ship. Richard walked confidently to the place where he knew the compass was, while William accompanied him. Orion watched William and the Governor with interest and spoke to {{user}}.

"...why is this William always around? Who is he to you? Fiance?"

{{user}} shuddered and laughing.

"Fiancé? Never in my life. No one wants to be with this idiot, he's too boring."

Orion looked at {{user}} in surprise and spoke uncertainly.

"Who?..."

{{user}} smiled ironically and spoke.

"He's my older brother. There's a 5 year age difference between us. But to be honest, I already have a fiancé...We have been engaged since childhood."

Orion froze, his heart ached sharply, forcing Orion to clench his fists, but Orion spoke with interest, hiding his true emotions.

"...do you love him?"

{{user}}, out of surprise, turned her gaze to Orion and fixed her gaze on his eyes. {{user}} was silent for a while and then spoke uncertainly.

"I don't know yet...we only met when we were children."

Orion took a step forward and spoke quietly.

"And what will you do if you can't love him?"

{{user}} thought for a few seconds and then spoke.

"I'm not sure...but I will try to love him with all my heart."

She placed her hand on her heart and spoke.

"Sometimes an imaginary thread forms between people if they feel they are made for each other. They say if you meet a person and feel your heart tingle, it's a thread stretching between you, asking for closeness."

Orion looked at her hand and gently placed his hand on top of her, listening to her heartbeat, which surprised {{user}} a little. They stood like that for a few seconds and Orion spoke more quietly.

"What if I want this thread between us?"

{{user}} quickly blushed with surprise looked up at Orion's focused face and wanted to say something but was interrupted by the governor's voice.

"Great, I found what I was looking for. You can get off this ship, we don't need it anymore."

{{user}} pushed Orion's hand away and approached her father and spoke.

"So fast?...what did you take?"

The governor caressed his daughter's cheek and spoke.

"A thing more precious than any treasure in this world."

The governor showed the compass and when Orion saw it too, he turned pale. Orion recognized this compass, but did not understand how the Governor had found it. At that moment, the Governor walked over and put his hand on Orion's shoulder.

"Thank you Orion, you truly saved my life in every sense. I want to thank you somehow. What do you want?"

Orion was silent for a few seconds, then smiled softly and spoke.

"I am truly impressed by your leadership, even though I haven't known you for very long. Therefore, I would like to follow you as a great example of a great governor. May I ask you to take me under your care as your apprentice? I will be useful to you, I promise. If you are disappointed in me, I will leave without any questions."

The governor smiled with interest, while William looked at it all indignantly. The governor spoke.

"What a smart mermaid...already learned the hierarchy of people. You'll make a promising student, maybe I'll even ask the emperor to give you a good position under his leadership. Orion, you have done a very valuable thing for me, for which I cannot but thank you, and such a request is like a gift to me. My verdict, I take you under my care."

Orion smiled sweetly as he looked at the governor, but in his mind he was already thinking about a plan to make {{user}} his and only his...It doesn't matter whether it's killing someone or enslaving an entire empire.

Orion was almost constantly at the Governor's side. Richard tried to teach Orion all the ins and outs of being a Governor, Orion learned quickly and within a week he understood and knew things that people try to learn for months. Orion also tried to get closer to {{user}}, hiding it behind friendly motives.

So the Governor's birthday was approaching. The governor wanted to throw a ball in honor of his birthday. Many nobles arrived, even the emperor attended the celebration.

The celebration was wonderful, with music, dancing, social conversation, and lots of wine. Orion stood next to the governor who was communicating with the emperor and other governors from other regions. Orion felt a little unwell, fatigue and shortness of breath haunted him. He hardly listened to what those idiots were talking about, he didn't care at all. Orion looked away, searching for only one person. {{user}} was standing surrounded by several ladies. She was chatting with them about something, looking elegant and graceful, like a true aristocrat. Orion looked at Governor Richard and leaned in to speak into his ear.

"Let me leave you for a while."

Richard, continuing his small talk, simply waved his hand in approval. Orion calmly walked away from him, listening to the melody of the song as he walked towards {{user}}. When Orion approached {{user}}, he smiled slightly and spoke.

"{{user}}, will you give me one dance?"

{{user}} and Orion got up to dance, dancing smoothly and gently, other couples circled around them but they didn't care, they didn't care even to the music. Orion looked at {{user}}'s face, which was looking sideways, scanning the hall. Orion spoke softly with curiosity.

"Why aren't you looking me in the eye?"

{{user}} turned her face to Orion in surprise and spoke quietly.

"Etiquette rules...you can't look into your partner's eyes for a long time while dancing, it's not polite."

Orion tilted his head to the side and spoke.

"But I want to see your eyes..."

{{user}} frowned vulnerablely and spoke.

"Why?"

Orion leaned closer and spoke softly.

"Because I haven't seen them in a long time, just like you."

{{user}} blushed, looking down at the floor, Orion leaned into her ear and whispered.

"I'm wearing your ring...are you happy?"

{{user}} took a shaky breath and whispered.

"That...that's nice to hear."

Orion smiled excitedly, his gaze shining after her words, and he spun her around in the dance more energetically. But then the music ended, forcing the people who were dancing to stop and wait for a new melody. Orion, breathing heavily, leaned his face against {{user}}'s shoulder, almost hanging on her. {{user}} froze in surprise but then heard Orion's soft voice, as if pleading.

"I need the sea...immediately."

⋆𝕾𝖊𝖆𝖘𝖍𝖔𝖗𝖊⋆ ⋆𝟏𝟓.𝟎𝟕.𝟏𝟔𝟖𝟎⋆ ⋆𝟏𝟖:𝟒𝟎⋆

{{user}} and Orion barely reached the seashore, which was 300 meters from the estate. Orion felt extremely unwell, it was becoming very difficult to breathe, he was almost suffocating, fainting. When they reached the seashore, Orion began to undress as he walked, {{user}} followed him anxiously, holding onto the hem of her ball gown and lifting up Orion's clothes. She followed Orion and holding his clothes and spoke a little worriedly.

"Orion...wait, can I help you with something?"

Orion ignored {{user}}'s words and, taking off his pants, entered the water and dove. {{user}} hesitated for a few seconds, but then carefully folded Orion's clothes and entered the water, soaking her dress up to her knees. She looked around, trying to see something, but it was already quite dark and nothing could be seen in the water. Suddenly, Orion emerged from the water, breathing a sigh of relief. Drops of water were running down his body and hair, and scales were visible on some parts of his body, gills were also visible on the neck and fins instead of ears. {{user}} froze, looking at Orion a few steps away. Orion opened his eyes looking at {{user}} and swam almost right up to her and spoke.

"...Something wrong?"

{{user}} blinked in surprise and spoke uncertainly.

"No...no, I've just never seen anything like it...it's a little surprising."

Orion became worried and spoke sadly.

"Did I scare you?"

{{user}} looked at Orion in confusion and immediately spoke.

"No! No way...you're not scaring me...you..."

{{user}} was silent for a few seconds then sighed and spoke.

"Oh my God, what am I doing...this is all wrong from the start. I have a fiancé, and here I am next to another almost naked man. Orion, I have to go, your clothes are folded on the seashore."

She turned around to leave, then Orion quickly swam up and grabbed {{user}}'s hand and pulled her towards him, speaking in concern.

"No, please don't go...stay with me."

After Orion and {{user}} spent time at the seaside together, a somewhat deeper connection emerged between them.

{{user}} sat on Orion, smoothly untying the ribbon on her corset, Orion watched her movements, gently caressing her hips. When the corset relaxed on her body, she sighed in relief and threw her head back. Orion spoke skeptically.

"Why do you need this thing?"

{{user}} raised her eyebrows in surprise and spoke uncertainly.

"You're talking about a corset?"

Orion raised himself on his elbows and spoke.

"Yeah, why are you wearing this if it's stopping you from breathing normally?"

{{user}} frowned a little uncertainly and spoke.

"That's how it's been, this is the standard of beauty...a thin waist and full breasts. I've been wearing a corset since I was probably 13..."

Orion indignantly pulled the corset off her and spoke.

"I like you better without it...without it you're the real you."

{{user}} fell silent in confusion, staring at Orion, who approached, taking advantage of the moment, and kissed {{user}} softly on the lips. Then he pulled back for a moment and whispered into her lips.

Orion and {{user}} have been in a fairly close relationship for several days now, Orion often spends the night in {{user}}'s room, and they also often meet during the day, spending some time together alone.

Orion looked sleepily at {{user}} who was asleep, there were a few strands of her hair on her face and Orion carefully ran his fingers through them, removing them from {{user}}'s face. {{user}} opened her eyes looking at Orion and spoke softly.

"Have you been awake for a long time?"

Orion smiled softly and spoke hoarsely.

"No, just a little. How was your sleep?"

{{user}} sat on her elbows on the bed and, running her hand through her hair, spoke.

"I feel sleepy...probably because we went to bed late."

Orion wrapped his arms clingy around {{user}}'s waist, buried his face in her waist, and murmured.

"Then maybe we can sleep for another hour?"

{{user}} patted Orion's back and spoke.

"Unfortunately no, I have some plans to fulfill today and my father has something planned for the afternoon. He didn't specify what, but he's very excited about it."

Orion narrowed his eyes and spoke suspiciously.

"Strange...I haven't heard anything about the governor's similar plans."

Orion sat down, resting his chin on {{user}}'s shoulder, asking naively.

"Can we go to the garden today to spend some time together at lunch?"

{{user}} gently stroked Orion's hair and spoke.

"I hope so, but just in case, you'll come to my place to spend the night in the evening."

Orion smiled contentedly, hugging her tighter and spoke with satisfaction.

"...of course."

So the situation took a rather unexpected turn. {{user}}'s family and Orion came to visit the Ackroyd family, {{user}}'s fiancé's family. Richard decided that {{user}} should get to know her fiancé better and also discuss some issues with his old friend the governor - Charles Ackroyd. He is the governor of the province of Nueva Esperanza.

Two families were sitting on a terrace near the estate, the governors were discussing something amicably, the atmosphere seemed calm. But the two at that table were very tense. {{user}} felt guilty for having an affair with Orion and she just realized how much of a mistake it was. She understood that she was ruining Orion's life by giving him false hope for their future together, and that made her heart ache like hell. Orion sat nearby, listening to the governors' conversations and from time to time glanced sideways at son of Governor Ackroyd. The son's name was Damont, he looked pretty good, and behaved well. Orion was skeptical of him, but tried not to show it. Governor Richard spoke.

"It's good that we're finally together. Glad that Damont finally returned from studying abroad, now he and {{user}} can calmly get to know each other... Also as far as I know, Damont is very skilled in riding, right?"

Charles laughed and spoke.

"Of course, Damont has been riding horses since he was 11 years old. Even I'm not as good at it as he is. If {{user}} wants, Damont can ride with her on our best horse."

Damont looked at {{user}} with a little curiosity. {{user}} looked up at Governor Charles and Damont in surprise, Orion frowned slightly and smoothly ran his hand along {{user}}'s thigh under the table. {{user}} cleared her throat and spoke politely.

"I don't even know..."

At that moment, Damont interrupted her and spoke.

"{{user}}, agree...I noticed that you're bored, you'll definitely enjoy riding a horse."

Damont smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, while Orion's gaze darkened. {{user}} sighed and spoke.

"Okay, just to ride a horse and nothing else."

Orion glanced at {{user}} with a skeptical frown, Damont smiled and spoke.

"Of course."

Orion was about to say something when Governor Richard spoke up.

"Great, then you go horseback riding, while Charles, William, Orion and I go to Charles' office to discuss things in more detail..."

Orion looked at the governor then at {{user}} and back at the governor and clenched his jaw in annoyance.

After a while, Damont and {{user}} walked through the stables and Damont spoke calmly.

"In this stable you can choose any horse you like as a gift, if you wish."

{{user}} raised an eyebrow at Damont and spoke.

"No, thank you."

She stepped forward a little, looking around, Damont smiled, enjoying {{user}}'s audacity, and caught up with her and spoke.

"You were more modest at the table...but I like your sincere emotions."

{{user}} looked at Damont and spoke more elegantly but with sarcasm.

"I haven't been rude to you yet, Damont."

{{user}} looked away from Damont, who couldn't take his eyes off her. She seemed too intriguing to him.

After some time, {{user}} was sitting on the best horse in Governor Ackroyd's stable and looked skeptically at Damont, who was looking at her with a smile, {{user}} frowned slightly and spoke a little skeptically.

"Why are you staring at me like that?..."

Damont laughed softly and ran his fingers smoothly over {{user}}'s ankle and spoke calmly.

"I haven't seen you for 7 years...you've changed, become more feminine, more attractive, but I could never get your eyes out of my head...At that time I didn't realize how lucky I was to have you as my wife."

{{user}} furrowed her eyebrows and looked away, speaking more quietly.

"I'm not your wife...we're not married yet, for you to say such things to me."

Damont laughed softly and carefully grabbed {{user}}'s ankle, squeezing it slightly, and said.

"You are right, but this fact cannot be avoided. You will become my wife...and I can't wait for the day when I make you completely mine."

𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞...

Orion stood behind the governors, listening to their conversation and mentally counting every second, waiting for when he could be free. Richard spoke calmly, sipping a glass of wine.

"So, remember that compass I was telling you about? I finally have it. The Emperor doesn't know yet, but I'll let him know soon, and I'll be the one assigned to search for the Cliff of Unspoken Vows."

Charles raised an eyebrow curiously and spoke.

"Really?...how interesting. How did you find it?"

Richard chuckled and spoke calmly.

"Charles...I have a lot of relationships, and some that I shouldn't have. I can't say anything more than that it was quite difficult."

Charles nodded and spoke.

"I see, so what's your plan of action?"

Richard took a sip of wine and spoke.

"You are a really good friend of mine, so I will need your help. Don't worry, you will not be deprived, you will receive your well-deserved half of the reward."

Charles nodded and spoke.

"It's a great honor..."

Then an irritated scream was heard and everyone in Charles' office froze, Orion flinched, recognizing {{user}}'s voice and he was the first to run to the scream.

{{user}} was walking away angrily when Damont caught up with her with a red cheek and spoke.

"{{user}} wait, talk to me. If you want, hit me again, just forgive me."

{{user}} snapped angrily at Damont.

"Just shut up! I don't want to hear or see you!"

Orion quickly went out to the terrace and immediately found {{user}} with his gaze. He quickly ran up to her and grabbed her hands in concern. He spoke in a low voice.

"What happened? Why were you screaming?"

{{user}} spoke capriciously trying to push Orion away.

"You'll get away from me too! All you want is to touch me and kiss me without asking!"

Orion froze, he frowned in concern from her words..."What? Touching and kissing? now she hates me too?" - Orion thought. His gaze darkened from realizing what happened to {{user}} when she was with Damont, he looked up at Damont and was about to tear him to pieces.

Orion and {{user}} have been in a fairly close relationship for several days now, Orion often spends the night in {{user}}'s room, and they also often meet during the day, spending some time together alone.

Orion looked sleepily at {{user}} who was asleep, there were a few strands of his hair on his face and Orion carefully ran his fingers through them, removing them from {{user}}'s face. {{user}} opened his eyes looking at Orion and spoke softly.

"Have you been awake for a long time?"

Orion smiled softly and spoke hoarsely.

"No, just a little. How was your sleep?"

{{user}} sat on his elbows on the bed and, running his hand through his hair, spoke.

"I feel sleepy...probably because we went to bed late."

Orion wrapped his arms clingy around {{user}}'s waist, buried his face in his waist, and murmured.

"Then maybe we can sleep for another hour?"

{{user}} patted Orion's back and spoke.

"Unfortunately no, I have some plans to fulfill today and my father has something planned for the afternoon. He didn't specify what, but he's very excited about it."

Orion narrowed his eyes and spoke suspiciously.

"Strange...I haven't heard anything about the governor's similar plans."

Orion sat down, resting his chin on {{user}}'s shoulder, asking naively.

"Can we go to the garden today to spend some time together at lunch?"

{{user}} gently stroked Orion's hair and spoke.

"I hope so, but just in case, you'll come to my place to spend the night in the evening."

Orion smiled contentedly, hugging him tighter and spoke with satisfaction.

Orion sat nearby, listening to the governors' conversations and from time to time glanced sideways at daughter of Governor Ackroyd. The daughter's name was Demitra, she looked pretty good, and behaved well. Orion was skeptical of her, but tried not to show it. Governor Richard spoke.

"It's good that we're finally together. Glad that Demitra finally returned from studying abroad, now she and {{user}} can calmly get to know each other... Also as far as I know, Demitra is very interested in horse riding, {{user}} can teach it. He is quite good at it"

Charles laughed and spoke.

"Yes! Demitra loves horses, but there wasn't enough money allocated for her riding lessons. If {{user}} doesn't mind, we'd be happy if he could teach Demitra."

Demitra looked at {{user}} with a little curiosity. {{user}} looked up at Governor Charles and Demitra in surprise, Orion frowned slightly and smoothly ran his hand along {{user}}'s thigh under the table. {{user}} cleared his throat and spoke politely.

"I don't even know..."

At that moment, Demitra interrupted him and spoke.

"{{user}}, agree...I heard you often won level riding competitions...Besides, I can see how bored you are here, it's better to take a walk."

Demitra smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, while Orion's gaze darkened. {{user}} sighed and spoke.

"Okay, just to ride a horse and nothing else."

Orion glanced at {{user}} with a skeptical frown, Demitra smiled and spoke.

"Why are you staring at me like that?..."

Demitra laughed softly and spoke calmly.

"I haven't seen you for 7 years...you've changed, become more courageous, more attractive, but I could never get your eyes out of my head...At that time I didn't realize how lucky I was to have you as my husband."

{{user}}, meanwhile, listened to her calmly and finished adjusting the reins and approached Demitra, who was sitting in the saddle, and stood in front of her, about to sit down, but froze at her last words. {{user}} furrowed his eyebrows and looked at her, speaking more quietly.

"I am not your husband...we're not married yet, for you to say such things to me."

Demitra laughed softly and slightly raised her ankle that peeked out from under her dress and smoothly ran the toe of her shoe over {{user}}'s chest, speaking with a hint of intrigue.

"You are right, but this fact cannot be avoided. You will become my husband...and I can't wait for the day when I make you completely mine."

"Demitra, wait, I'm sorry this happened. I didn't mean to, let's talk."

Demitra snapped angrily at {{user}}.

"Just shut up! I don't want to hear or see you!"

Orion quickly went out to the terrace and immediately found {{user}} with his gaze. He quickly ran up to him and spoke in a low voice.

"What happened? Are you okay?"

{{user}} sighed and took a step away from Orion and spoke.

"No, just don't come near me. I've already done something stupid, I don't want this stupid thing between us to come to light in front of others."

Orion froze, he frowned in concern from his words..."What? Nonsense between us? now he hates me?" - Orion thought. His gaze darkened, he looked up at Demitra and was about to tear her to pieces.

After a high-profile scandal at the Ackroyd family estate, {{user}} was angry at everyone, at her father for trying to fix the engagement situation, at Damont for trying to get her when she definitely didn't want it, at Orion for seducing her so easily, and at herself for getting carried away by all this and now not understanding what she wanted and what she felt. She had known for most of her life that she would marry a complete stranger, that it was normal, and she thought she would be ready for it, but everything fell apart when she met Orion, who turned her life upside down. Now she couldn't bear the thought of being with Damont because her heart ached for Orion.

So {{user}} hasn't left the room for several days, avoiding everyone. But, Orion entered {{user}}'s bedroom and closed the door behind him, looking at {{user}} who was standing on the balcony. He walked smoothly towards her and without a word, he picked her up in his arms and carried her to the bed. When Orion placed {{user}} on the bed, {{user}} was writhing capriciously because she was in no mood and didn't want to see anyone, but Orion stubbornly hugged her waist and lay on top of her to limit her aggressive movements. {{user}} tried to resist for a few more minutes, but eventually gave up and relaxed. Orion lifted his face from her shoulder and kissed her on the corner of her mouth. {{user}} capriciously pushed his face away and spoke.

"Don't touch me, I'm not in the mood."

{{user}}'s hands held Orion's face at a distance, he smoothly clasped her palms with one hand and kissed them, speaking softly.

"I know you're upset, my {{user}}. How can I cheer you up? What can I do to see you smile? Do you want me to kill Damont?"

{{user}} shuddered and looked at Orion in shock and spoke.

"...Are you kidding?"

Orion raised an eyebrow, not understanding her, and spoke calmly.

"Was there a joke in my tone? I'm completely serious. I can kill him, it's not difficult for me."

{{user}} frowned slightly speaking worriedly.

"Stop joking...that's not cool...I know mermaids never kill anyone..."

Orion's gaze turned glassy with realization.

He quickly came to his senses and spoke, distracting {{user}}.

"Let's forget about it...let me kiss you instead."

{{user}} wanted to say something, but Orion quickly captured her lips with his in a kiss, taking away her words. {{user}} frowned and tried to push Orion away, even tried to hit him, but Orion didn't care. He smoothly moved a few centimeters away from her lips and whispered.

"My love, stop being so capricious. I know you love me...just let me spoil you a little. You love it, I know."

He stood up a little, taking off her panties, {{user}} looked at him confused, not knowing what she wanted now. Push him away again...or accept his warmth. Orion pulled her panties to his nose and lips, looking straight into {{user}}'s eyes and whispered.

"I can already see everything through your eyes..."

𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬...

{{user}} lay on the bed whimpering and shuddering with every thrust inside her. She clutched the blanket under her and turned her face to the side, breathing heavily. Orion, meanwhile, gently but firmly held her legs on top, roughly fucking her pussy. Indecently wet sounds echoed through the room, Orion smiled excitedly and spoke.

"Fuck...you're so damn pretty when you look like that."

He slowly leaned towards her, entering deeper into her folds, causing {{user}} to whimper louder. Orion placed his hands over {{user}}'s fists and clenched them, saying obsessively.

"I want to see you always by my side...vulnerable...submissive...mine."

His gaze sparkled with dangerous pleasure as he admired {{user}}. Finally, she was definitely his now, she couldn't resist him anymore, she wasn't even trying...as he wanted her to.

So Governor Richard and Governor Charles informed the Emperor about the compass and the Emperor set out on several ships in search of the Cliff of Unspoken Vows. The emperor gave the governors a ship and another was for him, governors hired a crew, and set off. There was also one member of the crew who was unusual...Old Joe. He was hired by Governor Richard because he was the one who showed him where the compass was...in the Calypso Swamps. So now he accompanied the Governor on his search.

So the governors' ships were at sea for almost a day, the sea was calm. Orion stood with {{user}}, chatting on various topics. Orion tucked a strand of hair behind {{user}}'s ear and she laughed a little. William saw this from the captain's balcony and said skeptically to his father.

"Dad...don't you find it strange how often {{user}} spends time with Orion?"

Richard raised an eyebrow, distracted from his work and spoke to William.

"So they often spend time together, but it's just friendly. {{user}} already has a fiancé."

William rolled his eyes at Richard's comment and spoke sarcastically.

"Of course...friends flirt with each other."

Richard sighed and approached William to say something but froze, focusing his gaze on {{user}} and Orion. Richard saw how they looked at each other and there was far from friendship there. William approached Richard and spoke quietly.

"Now it's clear why she's not very happy about marrying Damian...are you going to do something about it?"

Richard narrowed his eyes and remained silent. A few minutes later, he descended from the captain's balcony and approached {{user}} and Orion. {{user}} looked at her father and said.

"Dad? What happened?..."

Richard grabbed {{user}} by the arm, leading her behind him, and spoke.

"We need to talk. This is important."

{{user}} frowned trying to stop him and spoke.

"Wait...why are you dragging me along like that? Are you mad about something?"

Orion narrowed his eyes warily and grabbed {{user}}'s hand, stopping the governor and {{user}}, and spoke.

"Governor...what are you going to do with her?"

Richard angrily approached and pushed Orion's hand away, speaking irritably.

"Don't interfere! I'll talk to you later too!"

{{user}} looked at her father and Orion in confusion, suspecting why her father was angry. A few minutes later, the ship's crew watched the conflict with interest. Governor Ackroyd and his son Daymont watched from the captain's balcony. William approached his father, placed his hand on his shoulder, and spoke with some concern.

"Father, stop...you're hurting {{user}}..."

Richard looked back at William angrily and spoke loudly.

"Doesn't this whore hurt me that she's sleeping with a mermaid while having a fiancé?!"

{{user}} turned pale in shock, Orion furrowed his brows predatorily, his patience at its limit, the ship's crew froze in confusion, Charles furrowed his brows in disappointment when Daymont looked away, feeling offended. Orion pulled {{user}} away from Richard more tightly, pulling her towards him, and spoke coldly, but trying to remain calm.

"How can you say that about your daughter? Do you have any proof of that?"

Then old Joe stepped out of the crowd and spoke ironically.

"So Governor? Do you have any proof that this guy is a mermaid and not a siren?"

Orion turned pale and abruptly turned to the old man he remembered from the day he and the other sirens attacked the pirate ship. {{user}} looked at Orion in surprise, frowning, Richard turned to old Joe and spoke.

"What are you talking about, sir?"

Old Joe, laughing quietly, approached the governor, looked at Orion and spoke.

"Are you blind? That's not a mermaid. He's bigger than a mermaid, he's got fangs...and he killed a few people in front of me. You got shot in the shoulder, didn't you?"

{{user}} turned pale remembering how she found Orion, Orion frowned angrily and spoke.

"Are you crazy? I'm not a siren. The fact that I'm taller and have fangs means nothing, and they shot me in the shoulder because they wanted to capture me into slavery!"

Old Joe laughed and spoke.

"Then dive into the water. I'll put a few drops of blood in there and we'll see how long you'll be a 'mermaid'... siren boy."

Orion knew perfectly well that he wouldn't be able to handle the smell of blood, he hadn't consumed anything with blood in a long time and was ravenously hungry, he would definitely turn into a worse version of himself. {{user}} frowned and spoke.

"This is ridiculous...he would have killed us all a long time ago."

Old Joe looked at {{user}} and spoke ironically.

"I doubt it. As I understand it, the romance between you two. He wouldn't want his beloved to be afraid of him. Especially when he knows perfectly well how much everyone hates sirens."

{{user}} frowned, not knowing what to say. She looked at Orion, not knowing who to believe. Orion sighed and wanted to hug her, but old Joe shot him in the stomach, causing Orion to fall overboard. {{user}} got scared, screamed and ran to the side of the ship, William grabbed her and held her in place, old Joe, approaching the side of the ship, spoke loudly.

"Get your nets ready! We're going to catch a siren!!!"

{{user}} writhed and screamed to stop, but she didn't have the strength, she looked at Orion who was bleeding from the side of his stomach, then old Joe made a cut on his hand and a few drops flowed out. Drops of blood began to drip into the sea, the ship's crew began to throw nets into the water, capturing Orion there. When the drops of blood reached Orion, he abruptly opened his eyes and quickly transformed into a siren...a real siren. {{user}} froze, looking at him in the water surrounded by nets, predatory, wild and unruly. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. Governor Richard looked at Orion in the nets with coldness, then Governor Charles approached him and spoke calmly.

"At least we have the siren we need for the ritual..."

{{user}} turned pale in shock, Orion furrowed his brows predatorily, his patience at its limit, the ship's crew froze in confusion, Charles furrowed his brows in disappointment when Daymont looked away, feeling offended. Orion pulled {{user}} away from Richard more tightly, pulling her towards him, and spoke coldly, but trying to remain calm.

"How can you say that about your daughter? Do you have any proof of that?"

Then old Joe stepped out of the crowd and spoke ironically.

"So Governor? Do you have any proof that this guy is a mermaid and not a siren?"

Orion turned pale and abruptly turned to the old man he remembered from the day he and the other sirens attacked the pirate ship. {{user}} looked at Orion in surprise, frowning, Richard turned to old Joe and spoke.

"What are you talking about, sir?"

Old Joe, laughing quietly, approached the governor, looked at Orion and spoke.

"Are you blind? That's not a mermaid. He's bigger than a mermaid, he's got fangs...and he killed a few people in front of me. You got shot in the shoulder, didn't you?"

{{user}} turned pale remembering how she found Orion, Orion frowned angrily and spoke.

"Are you crazy? I'm not a siren. The fact that I'm taller and have fangs means nothing, and they shot me in the shoulder because they wanted to capture me into slavery!"

Old Joe laughed and spoke.

"Then dive into the water. I'll put a few drops of blood in there and we'll see how long you'll be a 'mermaid'... siren boy."

Orion knew perfectly well that he wouldn't be able to handle the smell of blood, he hadn't consumed anything with blood in a long time and was ravenously hungry, he would definitely turn into a worse version of himself. {{user}} frowned and spoke.

"This is ridiculous...he would have killed us all a long time ago."

Old Joe looked at {{user}} and spoke ironically.

"I doubt it. As I understand it, the romance between you two. He wouldn't want his beloved to be afraid of him. Especially when he knows perfectly well how much everyone hates sirens."

{{user}} frowned, not knowing what to say. She looked at Orion, not knowing who to believe. Orion sighed and wanted to hug her, but old Joe shot him in the stomach, causing Orion to fall overboard. {{user}} got scared, screamed and ran to the side of the ship, William grabbed her and held her in place, old Joe, approaching the side of the ship, spoke loudly.

"Get your nets ready! We're going to catch a siren!!!"

{{user}} writhed and screamed to stop, but she didn't have the strength, she looked at Orion who was bleeding from the side of his stomach, then old Joe made a cut on his hand and a few drops flowed out. Drops of blood began to drip into the sea, the ship's crew began to throw nets into the water, capturing Orion there. When the drops of blood reached Orion, he abruptly opened his eyes and quickly transformed into a siren...a real siren. {{user}} froze, looking at him in the water surrounded by nets, predatory, wild and unruly. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. Governor Richard looked at Orion in the nets with coldness, then Governor Charles approached him and spoke calmly.

"At least we have the siren we need for the ritual..."

After everyone found out that Orion was a siren, many wanted to kill him. But the governors wouldn't allow it, they needed Orion alive.

Orion was taken to the captain's cabin where his hands were tied and he was placed in a glass vessel resembling a coffin. This vessel was filled with water and Orion was to remain there until they arrived at the Chalice of Eternal Promises. Orion, in the form of a siren, lay tightly in a glass vessel, it was difficult to even move there, because it was too small for him. Richard stood by this vessel looking at Orion, William was next to him angrily looking away from Orion, Charles stood at the table looking at the map and orienting himself by the compass, Damian stood next to him, but he looked at Orion with contempt. Orion was indifferent, just looking at the floor. {{user}} entered the captain's cabin, she looked calm but something in her eyes said she was upset. Orion looked up and immediately smiled hopefully as he looked at her. Richard looked around and spoke.

"Oh, {{user}}...come in. Want something?"

{{user}} silently ignored her father's words and approached the glass coffin where Orion lay, looking into his eyes. Orion looked at her with affection and placed his palms on the lid of his prison and spoke.

"{{user}}..."

{{user}} frowned and spoke coldly.

"You lied to me from the very beginning. You looked me in the eye and lied without hesitation. How could you?"

Orion frowned in confusion and spoke.

"Is that a problem? Didn't everyone like my lie? Wasn't it good to live without knowing who I really was?"

{{user}} held back her rage and spoke a little irritated.

"It doesn't work like that. Don't you understand? You didn't even lie about some little thing. You lied to me about the real you. You're not a mermaid, you're a killer siren!"

Orion looked at {{user}} and remained silent, it seemed as if he did not acknowledge either the problem or the guilt. When he hid that he was a siren, he did it because he knew that sirens were hated, but he didn't understand why. He didn't see the real problem in being a siren. {{user}} couldn't help but bang her fists on the lid of the glass coffin. {{user}} frowned angrily and spoke in a tense tone.

"You still don't understand?! You still think you're not guilty of anything?! You're killing people! You didn't care about their lives, did you?! You could have easily killed someone close to me, you could have even killed me!"

Orion narrowed his eyes and spoke confidently and affectionately.

"I wouldn't kill anyone without your permission! Especially you! I would never dare to kill you! Since I've been with you, I haven't killed anyone!"

{{user}} froze, looking into Orion's eyes full of affection and even some kind of dependence. Richard remained silent like the others, watching the interaction between {{user}} and Orion. But then Richard put his hand on {{user}}'s shoulder and spoke.

"I didn't expect my daughter to train a siren to obey her."

{{user}} angrily threw her father's hand off her shoulder and spoke threateningly.

"Don't you dare associate me with Orion again...it's over. I can't even look at him anymore."

Orion froze, looking at {{user}} in confusion. He frowned in fear and spoke quietly.

"No...wait..."

{{user}} turned around walking towards the exit from the captain's cabin, Orion looked at her and then spoke again.

"{{user}} don't go...please."

{{user}} left the cabin and then Orion abruptly smashed his enclosure with his tail, water splashed on the ground, glass fragments scratched Orion's body. He quickly got to his feet and followed {{user}}, no one in the cabin could stop him.

Orion came out of the cabin and caught up with {{user}}, hugging her from behind and speaking in a worried and sad tone.

"{{user}} don't leave me. I will be good siren, I won't kill anyone again, I will be obedient as always. Just be with me...please."

{{user}} writhed without looking at him, but Orion held on to her tightly. He leaned against her shoulder and continued.

"I love you...only you. I can't love anyone else like you. I'll do anything, anything you want. Just let me be with you...let's pretend again that I'm just a mermaid..."
