Chapter 61
Anastasia stormed into the library, her anger and frustration boiling over. Somehow, he was right; the last time she went to the ocean with Marina, they were attacked by mermaids from different tribe.
She grabbed a book, flipping through the pages but she couldn't focus.
"Aren't you supposed to be in bed, my Queen?"
She looked up to see Drusilla, Naomi's daughter standing at the entrance.
"I couldn't sleep."
"Couldn't or wouldn't?" Drusilla asked, her red eyes sparkling. "I overheard your argument with my Uncle."
"Sometimes he talks without thinking," she said, setting the book aside to find another one.
Drusilla and Naomi knew she was a mermaid. Anastasia had told them after they caught her talking to Marina about mermaids stuff one night.
"Can I join you?"
"Yes," Anastasia replied, though she wanted to be alone.
