Chapter 754 – Two Mermaids
The time struck 13.04 PM.
The Everwing Spire Venue hummed softly with preparation. Outside the tall arched windows, the sea shimmered in wide silver sheets beneath the afternoon sun. The building itself curved like a glass shell rising from the coastline, its crystalline structure catching light and scattering it across marble floors in shifting waves.
Inside one of the upper preparation suites, Ariel sat at her vanity.
Still.
Almost too still.
The makeup artist adjusted the shimmer along her cheekbones with a careful brush. The hairdresser lifted a section of her long sea-green hair, weaving delicate pearl strands through it with expert fingers.
"You look perfect, Lady Ariel," the makeup artist murmured.
Perfect.
The word echoed strangely in her chest.
Ariel stared at her reflection.
The girl in the mirror looked regal. Poised. Every inch a mermaid heiress.
