Regal Academy - The Legend of the Mermaid

Chapter 5 - The Ball

<In Rose's dream...>

Lord Walter: "Who knew this Mermaid can be so delicate..."

Lord Walter rubbed the Mermaid's cheek gently as the Mermaid struggled to break free from the ropes that is tied around her.

Lord Walter smirked.

Lord Walter: "I will earn a lot of money by selling you..."

King Harry: "ANAHITA! ANAHITA!!"

Lord Walter: "Oh no!"

Lord Walter ran out of the room. The Mermaid could hear footsteps coming towards her.

King Harry entered the room.

King Harry: "Anahita!"

King Harry quickly untied the ropes. When the Mermaid was finally free, he immediately hugged her.

Anahita: "Harry..."

Tears were falling down the Mermaid's cheeks.

King Harry: "Shh...it's okay. You're safe with me now..."

???: "Rose! Rose! Wake up!!" 

Rose: "Huh?"

Rose woke up and saw Harmony standing right in front of her.

Rose: "Harmony?"

Harmony: "Wake up, sleepy head! Here, I brought you breakfast."

Harmony placed the tray of food on Rose's bedside table.

Rose: "Oh, thank you..."

Harmony: "My pleasure. Oh and I am also here to inform you about the upcoming ball that is going to happen today at night."

Rose: "The ball?..."

Harmony: "Yup, and you have been invited to it...by Hawk."

Rose: "Hawk invited me?"

Harmony look at the time.

Harmony: "Oh Sorry, I have to go. I need to go to work now. Enjoy your breakfast! And also your dress is in the closet! Bye!"

Harmony hurriedly left the room and shut the door behind her.

Rose: "Umm...bye?"

Rose looked at the tray of food and smiled. But her smile disappeared after remembering her dream...

Rose: Anahita? So that Mermaid is Anahita? And that man...his name is Harry...the man that also looks like Hawk...

Rose was confused.

Rose: Did this situation happened many years ago? But why does the man so similar to Hawk...it doesn't make sense!
