Chapter 80 Without A Second Thought

[Dalsa]

Hisha rubbed his chin and tried to recollect the name.

[The garden, the name engraved on a stone by your original host...]

Snapping his fingers, Hisha repeated exactly what was explained to him, but had taken it as his idea.

Putting up a deadpan emoji, HTC left Hisha hanging on a loading ellipsis.

'What?!' Hisha questioned, confused as to why HTC was giving such a digital deadpanned look at him.

[What were we speaking about?]

'Kritz knows about Dalsa...' Hisha blindly responded.

'Kritz knows about Dalsa!!!' Hisha repeated after understanding what he had just said.

Pacing about, he thought of the plausible way he could approach Kritz to tactfully hear his side of the story about this mysterious lady, maybe it could kickstart a bit of his memory recovery needed to get his system to speak.

[Ahem!]

Looking over the translucent screen, Hisha raised a brow.

[Aren't you forgetting something?]

'Forgetting... forgetting... what did I forget?'

[40:03:45]

With wide eyes, he recalled a certain mermaid.

'Melody!' He exclaimed, wondering how he could forget her existence the moment Kritz left.

He also wondered why he had not gotten any word from Melody or her environment for such a long time, maybe if he had, he wouldn't have forgotten about the task at hand.

[Visibility turned on]

"What the heck is going on?" Hisha blurted out, confused and disturbed.

From Melody's point of view, he could see was sitting on a floral bed made out of 10 feet wide petals of a blue flower.

The smooth plastered walls were designed with blue broken corals spread across to cover all spaces.

It had almost reminded him of the interior decorations he had watched on the television back in his world.

He felt if those innovators could see their inspiration had spurned from such weird times they might have been proud.

[Why did you cut off communication?]

Melody tilted her head, 'I needed to consent to some services to get the information needed.'

Not feeling comfortable about what he had heard, he questioned further. [Could you convince me that you had nothing to do with your body?]

Melody thought about what was said for a while and nodded her head. 'Those who had contact with my fuck hole would certainly die after a week.'

Hisha's brows twitched, although she had been honest, he couldn't help but wonder how many had managed to have their way with her.

[Tell me honestly, did you copulate with them?]

'No, the bigger goal is yet to be taken.' Melody replies with a light shake of her head.

Letting out a sigh of relief, Hisha frowned immediately upon realizing it.

[Did you just sigh because your puppet didn't have a little fun?]

Hisha flinched at the words but brushed them aside.

[What's going on right now, why are you in there?]

Melody fell back on the bed and had her hands interlocked while she stared at the ceiling.

'I was told to wait, the Merchief would inspect me closely to verify the status I provided to a merman named Hik.'

Creak!

Melody sat up straight as someone had gotten in, she recognized him as the very red-haired that she had been taken to.

Hisha leaned forward and warned her of the dangers that might lurk being in an enclosed space.

"Melody... Urmi?" Hik relayed, his eyes latched onto the notepad that he flipped through.

Melody nodded her head and had a smirk on her lips which slowly turned to her biting down on her bottom lips.

"When do I get to see him?" Melody's melodious voice graced his ears as she attempted to use her ability on him.

[Don't! Save your Sux, you would need it]

Melody relaxed and let out a sigh of disappointment, hoping to test out her skill on this recurring merman.

"You look like you are in close connection with Mership Mich." Melody giggled and twirled her hair around her fingers.

For the first time, Hik raised his head to lock eyes with her, "where did you say you were?"

"I had been in hiding after my parents decided to be fugitives during the great war."

Hik's eyes widened in shock and took a few steps back, "how... that isn't–"

"Leave us!" A deep voice cut in.

He dropped to one knee and bowed his head in respect, "Mership!"

Melody raised her head and locked eyes with the very person she had wanted to meet.

Mich had his eyebrows knitted in a frown for being disturbed and told about another mating session with one which they thought could be the right female.

Activating the glow in her eyes immediately after eye contact with him.

[That's a good girl!]

Melody smiled and activated her ability and channeled all she had to get to him.

'Bingo!' She thought with a satisfying grin.'

Her eyes were latched to his sudden erection, with that reaction, she knew it was only a matter of time before she would have him wrapped around her fingers.

Hik had a hard time explaining what Melody had revealed, if she was one of the fugitives that had fled during the war, that would explain why she had been in hiding and a better candidate for the assessment.

"Hik, make sure we have no disturbances."

With a final nod, he walked back and closed the door shut.

As soon as they were finally alone, Mich approached slowly, his eyes glued to her exposed cleavage.

[The fish has been baited, hook, line, and sinker]

Melody could hear Hisha's voice snicker in her head and tried her best to maintain her timid and quiet demeanor.

Holding her by the chin, he observed her face and had a wicked grin, "tell me, why did you personally request to meet me?

Melody had wanted to take things slow and swiftly change the topic, but his grip on her cheeks tightened.

[Melody!]

Hisha felt distraught by the way Mich manhandled her.

[Relax, he doesn't suspect a thing, he enjoys being dominant, that's all]

'That's still sick for a method as such.' Hisha shook his head and relaxed.

[This is his way of establishing control over the maidens he mates with]

'Excluding Melody.' Hisha emphasized, feeling his plan would work for the betterment of his punishment.

Melody had her lips puckered by his grip and made no effort to struggle, instead pulling open his buttoned shirt and hoping he could get the hint.

Stunned by her bold move, he pulled away and stared at her for a few seconds. "I need my answers, maiden."

Melody inhaled and exhaled as she prepared to give the programmed words in her subconscious.

"I had felt the call of a powerful merman in my dreams and I had heard the tales of your great achievements and concluded that must have been you, my Merchief." She gave a light bow, low enough for him to have another glimpse of her cleavage.

'Great achievements? Did she just input a few of her thoughts in there?' Hisha scoffed, rolling his eyes.

[It would seem so, as proud and self-absorbed as Mich, he's bound to get reeled in]

Hisha shook his head, wondering if he could get Mich with his bait.

Melody crawled towards him, holding onto the hem of his robe, stroking his shaft from the outside.

"Let me help you relieve this, I could be the perfect candidate that you need, if not you could do to me how you deem fit." She cajoled.

Mich took some steps back, uncomfortable with a maiden being so direct and much especially bold in her advances.

"You are very beautiful, but I can't do that to someone I just met." Mich pulled away and shook his head with a smile.

He began to question his actions as this was an opportunity to test out the process once more while doing the most questionable things with her.

After the tournament, he had felt the loss of Divei and had gone on a mating spree just a few minutes before he had heard from a guard in the presence of a beautiful mermaid who stole the glances and heartbeats of many who had set eyes on her.

Gaining back his daring side, he approached her and pushed her back on the bed. "If you're so curious about this, how about I test it out and find out if you could be the one I have been searching for."

In his call out in desperation for the right maiden, he accepted her offer without as much as a second thought.

[You've got him! Now proceed with the next step, he would see what hit him]

Hisha cheered on, staring at the timer displayed before him.

[39:46:34]

Melody's face flushed red, knowing what she needed to do.

'I will not fail you.' She assured within her subconscious.
