“To the special mermaid born to save us all! Oh sea be good to us on this day! Happy.. happy.. happy birth celebration to our princess!” The triplets sang melodiously and Adella giggled when they ended the song.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“Happy birth celebration, princess Adella.” The triplet chorused and bowed to her.
Adella couldn’t hide her happiness. ” Thank you very much.” she clapped excitedly and hugged them. “You girls are more than maids to me.” She added.
“So what are we to you?” Chantae asked.
“My friends and I really appreciate you girls for always taking care of me.” Adella answered.
“It is such a honor to care for you, princess Adella.” The triplet bowed.
Adella smiled and embraced each and everyone of them. Chantae pulled her gently to the dressing chair. “Let us get you ready for the celebration.” She said with excitement in her tone.
“I will polish your tail.” Calliope said with a huge smile on her lips.
“I am in charge of your accessories.” Calista said.
“I will make your hair and everybody’s eyes will be on you.. only you my princess.” Calliope added.
“Now I am feeling like a real princess.” Adella said and the triplets giggled.
“Of course! You are a real princess ” Chantae replied and they rolled into laughter.
“Yeah I know.” Adella added.
“I am so happy!” Calista screamed at the top of her voice.
“Wait a minute.. did you girls feel anything? I mean when you turned eighteen. Did you feel different in anyway?” Adella asked.
“I didn’t feel different.” Calista responded.
“No.” Calliope replied.
“To be honest, it was like sixteen or seventeen. I couldn’t feel any difference.” Chantae answered with a shrug.
Calliope grabbed a soft brush to polish Adella’s golden tail and Chantae undid her braid and put a comb through her hair to straighten it.
“I wondered what your wish would be overnight.” Chantae said.
“Yes.. since you have everything in the palace.” Calliope added.
“I don’t have everything.” Adella countered.
Chantae put her hair up, she pulled and twisted it back in a sharp bun, holding it with a lot of bands and pins. “Let me guess -” Chantae pulled back to display. She cleared her throat and began to say. “I am princess Adella of Merivilla kingdom.” She mimicked the princess.
And the mermaids giggled. “That really sounds like me, Chantae.” Adella said.
Chantae continued. “And this is my wish.” She paused and drew in a deep breathe.
“Oh great sea, grant my wish today!” She chanted three times. “And my wish is to marry prince Dylan!” She finished.
“What?!” Adella gasped with a deep frown on her face.
“Chantae, why are you like this? You clearly know that princess Adella doesn’t love any of the princes.” Calliope said.
“Yes I know and I was only pulling at her tail. I was joking, forgive me my princess.” she apologized with a bow.
“Apology accepted my friend.” Adella replied with a half smile on her lips.
Calista mixed colors and reached out to Adella’s face. “Time for make up my princess.”
“Why don’t you like any of the princes?” Calliope asked.
“Nothing Calliope… I just don’t feel anything.. like I am in love.” Adella replied.
“But your features of prince charming entails nice and kind.” Chantae said.
The Princess nodded in agreement. “And prince Dylan is nice and kind. He fits in so perfectly.” Calliope responded.
“Yes I know but I don’t love him.” Adella replied with a sigh.
“But Titan Oceanus wants you to pick one of them.” calliope said soberly.
“Yes.” Adella nodded.
“So who will you choose?” The girls chorused but Adella only heaved a loud sigh.
“Yes.. yes.. tell us princess!” The mermaids pressured.
“Calliope, I know you love Dylan. Calista, I know you love Delmer. And lastly Chantae I know you are in love with brother Fairfax” Adella pointed at each of the mermaids.
They each gasped in shock and surprise. “How do you know that?!” Calista asked.
“How did you find out I am in love with prince Fairfax?” Chantae demanded.
“You girls can’t hide anything from me. Oh! It seems you don’t know I can read through your minds.” Adella smiled at them.
