How epic! He was going to help rescue the King of the Sea!
His heart exploded a little each time his thoughts came close to the idea. All his life he wanted to set sail for adventure, and here it wasâright here! And it was greater than anything he could dream of, greater than discovering a golden city in the deepest jungles of the lands in the west. The king of the merfolk, cousin to gods, in Ericâs castleâ¦hidden as a polyp in jar.
All right, that part was a little strange.
But mysterious!
And then of course there was the kingâs daughter, Ariel.
Who, now that she could speak, said things Eric could not have imagined the old Ariel would have. Yet at the same time she was far more reserved now than she had been on those happy days long ago. She held herself in: proud, stoic, still. There was something both wonderful and sad about thatânot unlike the reduced state of the sea king. Andâ¦
She was beautiful.
Before, she had been pretty and gorgeous, lively and smiley, all red hair and perfect skin and quick movements. Now her eyes were deeper. He could fall into her face forever and happily drown there, pulled into her depths. There were worlds in her mind that were only just forming before.
âWhat a damn fool I was,â he muttered, entering the castle. All of thisâ¦all of thisâ¦could have been averted if he had just gone with his heart instead of hisâwhat? Ears? Ironic, really, when you think about it. A good composer could summon human emotions and transform them into music. A true love would have been able to resist the witchâs spell somehow. He hadnât listenedâto his heartâat all.
âGood evening, My Lord. A perfect night for a walk. One couldnât ask for better. Can Iâ¦â A footman approached him, hands out to take the princeâs jacket.
Eric pushed past him. The smarmy young man wasnât one of Vanessaâs two despicable manservants, but he wasnât one of the original staff, either. The prince had no idea when he had turned up. Depressing, since he used to pride himself on personally knowing all the people who worked for himâhow their parents were doing, how many children they hadâ¦Even if he didnât know their name days, he made sure that someone did and passed along a little present or extra silver in their wages.
Grimsby appeared like a shadow at his side.
âYes, we met, weâll talk laterââ Eric began.
âItâs not that,â Grimsby said, keeping pace and not looking at the prince, as if the two were just speaking casually. âThe emissary from Ibria was found while you were outâ¦dead. On the unused balcony on the third floor. Causes unclear.â
Eric cursed under his breath.
âPoor fellow. Not the worst sort, for a known spy.â
âAbsolutely regrettable. But itâs a dangerous occupation, sir.â
Then the prince considered the situation more deeply, and the possibilities it presented him.
âEr, itâs in rather poor taste, I know, but I could use the distraction right now to follow up on somethingâ¦privately.
