In Mertac–merfolk territory,

Best

Mich's chamber,

Knock!

Knock!

Hik, Mich's right-hand merman stood in front of the 10 feet silver fortified door of his chief.

He had his fiery red braided hair pulled back. A body hug navy blue tank top was tucked into a loose wrap skirt.

Yellow eyes set on the door in hopes of it being opened soon.

A scroll in his hand as he waited for a response on the other side.

He took a step back when he heard a groan and moan on the other side.

Clearing his throat and rubbing under his nose at how awkward it was listening in on the steamy action by his chief.

Determined to speak on what the new information given to him, he exhaled and looked around and wondered why the guards that were meant to guard their chief weren't present.

Click!

"Mership Mich," Hik called out to his tribal chief once the door was partially opened. "We got some news about–"

He stopped when he saw an unidentified maiden chosen among the numerous mermaids pushed up against the closed part of the door, her mouth open with her tongue out as she was jerked forward by Mich's thrust from behind.

The subtle trembling of the door made Hik take yet another step back.

Mich had a smug smile on his lips as he thrust into the lady continuously. "What do you have to report now, Hik?!"

Hik forced his gaze to the floor, feeling it unforgivable to set his eyes on his chief's nakedness nor that of the maiden chosen.

This had been a natural occurrence for Mich. Their tribe had gone into the mating season, searching for the right female who would take up the tribe's offspring, with his brother gone.

It was only a matter of time before he would rightly take up the title the merfolks address him as.

Hik had trouble reporting what he had been sent because of how awkward it was to be serious while the series of moans and grunts would overshadow his message.

They were not allowed to mate with any mermaid that had not gone through their tribal assessment done by the tribe's tribal blue bloodline household.

If Mich and the maiden's secretions were to mix and form a white and free of blemish pearl that could only be seen by the merchief and his close merman subordinates.

With the pearl, he would finally have a firm grip on his tribe and augment his power to defend his tribe from a potential threat.

Hik stood frozen in place, gritting his teeth and blaming his chief for torturing his sex-deprived soul by answering the door without completing or putting a halt to his action.

"My mership, I dare not to interrupt you while you carry on the sacred ritual." Hik bowed and tried to hold his gaze on the floor.

His grip on the scroll tightened with regret. There was no way Mich wasn't doing so intentionally to rub it in on any merman's face.

Hah!

Mmm!

Mich let out a chuckle and pressed forward for Hik to report what he needed to say or he would have no other chance.

'Fuck this mating season!' Hik spat in spite and tried to pull himself together before he would speak on orders.

"My mership, the maiden–"

"If she doesn't produce the pearl, you know what happens to her. So do not worry about her listening to the information." Mich interjected and grunted when he felt the maiden's walls clenched down on his sheath.

Seeing it as the right time to test out his theory, he shot out loads of his semen into her womb.

Hik let out a sigh of relief having understood they had shared bodily fluid and the result would soon be known, so he brought up the scroll.

Having his back to his chief, he chose that as a much bearable way to read out the information while the check was done on the maiden.

Her hair was in a disheveled mess covering her face, her fold twitched and glowed as a pearl formed in her.

Pushing a finger in, hopeful about the result. Mich searched for the pearl, he could hear her moan in response and open her legs wider for his finger to go in deeper.

Hik grimaced with the torture of hearing the moans that he had to hold himself up by placing his hand on a carved rock pillar to his side.

Shaking his head and was unable to give the information until Mich was done.

Touching the smooth surface of the pearl, Mich pulled out her juice-covered pearl.

Cross-popping veins made their way to his forehead at the sight, it was a white pearl with a spiral of black around it.

'Not again!' He grimaced in regret and anger.

This was the same result as the rest of the mermaids that he had mated with.

Clak!

Clak!

Rrrrr!

Hik heard a pearl get tossed to the coral patterned flooring which rolled to his direction and laid close to his bare feet.

'A defective pearl.' He stared at it in horror and dreaded what would happen to yet another mermaid for not being the right mate.

His eyes searched the floor, clutching the scroll as he waited for his chief's words.

Mich had a ruse smile and walked towards his closet to pull on his black silk robe and tie the belt around his waist.

He had enjoyed the fun, but it also disturbed him that he had still gotten to a dead end and would have to continue with yet another mermaid right after he had gotten to know what Hik had to say.

"Could you rest in while I speak with Hik?" Mich gave a charming smile at the maiden.

'No, don't go back in!' Hik had wanted to speak but merely looked at the floor in horror.
