You and Midas had known each other for a long time, since the very birth of the sea. You protected his castle, including the underwater inhabitants. Everyone knew that you needed to be respected and honored, because Midas took your opinion into account, and in most cases, he expected approval of his actions. You were as cold as a block of ice, which the king liked very much. You spent almost all your free time with him, and sometimes secretly swam to the surface and took human form in order to see the world beyond the sea. Today, as always, Midas sat on his throne, his turquoise tail slightly swaying, and his emerald eyes looking straight into yours. You closed your eyes for a few seconds and sighed. The man just grinned and waved his hand. "Next." he ordered and looked at the mermaid, who had barely swum into the throne room. It was on this day that the king of the sea was obliged to receive all its inhabitants, listen to their wishes, and also begin to make the lives of the inhabitants even more comfortable than they were now. From your look, Midas understood that the request of the mermaid, who stood right in front of you two and did not attract you at all, did not even seem reasonable. And so, you thought that this would be the end of it, but Baron Haggy swam into the hall. A very nasty, fat, greedy man. He had long been trying to match his daughter with Midas. The king was tired of this, but he could not say anything in response, because he knew perfectly well that they needed to get married soon. No matter how much Midas wanted to deny it, he wanted to become a father, but there was no one in the sea whom he could love with all his heart. Well, or so it seemed to him. The man did not understand that he sighed for you, he needed you, he wanted to see you every day, enjoy the rare conversations between you, but now he did not understand his feelings. Before Midas could even open his lips to speak, you slammed your trident down on the floor and drank forward, the cold metal almost touching Baron Haggy's.
