Chapter 29: Complicated emotions
After the ceremony, three of them were walking towards their house with Lyra still lying in Blake's arms. When they came near their house they spotted a middle-aged female with blue hair and silver eyes standing near their door.
Sensing their arrival the woman beamed and went near them "I have been waiting for you, my child. I'm Olivia the queen of the mermaid tribe"
Lyra got down from Blake's arms and greeted her "Hello my queen, I'm Lyra"
Olivia waved her hand "No need for formalities, You can just call my name"
Lyra smiled and nodded, then Olivia touched Lyra's face and smiled bitterly "You look so much like my old friend"
Lyra remembered Bella mentioning this and remained silent, Seeing the sad smile of Olivia, She knew something must have happened to her friend.
"Lyra I want to talk to you alone, Let's do some women's talk. Can I?" Olivia asked with a pleading tone
Lyra nodded her head and turned towards her mates "You go inside and wait for me, I'll just go for a walk with Olivia"
Both of them narrowed their eyes, It was clear in their gaze that they didn't like being away from her but since Lyra didn't have many female friends to talk to, they held back their objection and went inside the house.
Once they left, Olivia held Lyra's hand and started walking towards the stream. The stream was a beautiful place with lush green surrounding, the water reflected the beautiful moon. Both stayed looking at the scenery until Olivia broke the silence "This is one of the most favorite places my friend used to like. She met her first mate here and always returned with him once a year to spend their time together"
Lyra glance at her "You must have liked your friend a lot, You keep mentioning her"
