[Third Person's P.O.V. ]

As Lucia,Hanon and Rina walked together back from school,they talked about what Hippo told them what Sara and Coralia did.

previously...

"This is how it all started. Many years ago, there was a tribe called Panthalassa. That tribe of Panthalassa  caused devastation in the world. They tried to conquer the seven seas. Their attempt to subdue infuriated Aqua Regina, who managed to rebel. Aqua Regina managed to quell their rebellion. Then, with the help of the Sealed Key, she captured the entire tribe and their Panthalassa castle at the bottom of the ocean. Aqua Regina entrusted the Key to me the Hippocampus so that I could lock the castle so that no one from the tribe would ever leave it.

However, someone stole my Sealed key. The whole world has been in danger ever since. "

"Okay,so we somewhat know why Sara stole the Key" began Rina, "But I what I don't get is why has Coralia helped her? What happened to her in the past in order for her to turn against us?" the voice of the green pearl frowned,thinking hard.

"Uhh,I may know the reason." a voice behind them said,making the three friends turn around to face the one and only Ryo Oshima.

"What?Why?How?" Lucia,Hanon and Rina said in unision.

"It's kinda a long story." the honey blonde haired man said sheepshly,scratching the back of his short hair, "You three can come with me to my place and I'll tell you more. I don't want just about everyone hearing me here."

"Alright,lead the way." Lucia said.

And with that the four of them left.

•Gaito's castle•

'I have to think how I'm going to bring back my other half.' Gaito thought as he stood alone in the room filled with tanks containing the imrpisoned mermaid princesses. 'And that is necessary  if I want to win Coralia's heart for forever'

Suddenly,soft footsteps appeared to his right side.

Gaito turned around and spotted Coralia.

"Coralia" he aknoweleged the young woman.

"Gaito" the princess of the Mediterranean sea greeted him. The way she says his name pulls at him. He's always liked it when she says his name,though he doesn't know why.

"Tell me honestly of who were you thinking of when you were looking at that mermaid princess?"Coralia said with narrowed eyes.

Gaito fully turned around to face her.

"Of who else but you?" he said with a lazy grin.

"You were thinking of me?Really?" Coralia said, rising an eyebrow, as if challenging him to say something else.

"As I promised my dear Coralia, you will soon get the whole world."

"Soon?" asked Coralia, unabling to keep the suprise from her voice.

"Will that satisfy you?" asked Gaito.

"Of course it will Gaito." Coralia said,a cold smile appearing on her face.

"Then feel free to celebrate now Coralia." said Gaito with a matching smile,then turning around and leaving Coralia alone in the dark room.

˚˙༓࿇༓˙˚˙༓࿇༓˙˚˙༓࿇༓˙˚

"Master Gaito,we're here." a voice said,making Gaito turn around to face the Black Beauty

"Sheshe,Mimi" the King of Panthalassa said, "Just to let you know, I'll be in my room. Let no one disturb me."

"Hmm?" Sheshe and Mimi looked at each other confused.

"I have to prepare for a great conquest." elaborated Gaito.

"You mean, it's finally the time to conquer the overworld?" asked Sheshe in suprise.

"But master Gaito, why would you ever need such a dirty and old place?" whined Mimi.

"I will make it mine for one reason, a very important one."replied Gaito.

"May we know why is that place so important to you,master Gaito?" asked Sheshe curiously.

"May I ask is it the one by the name of Coralia,my Lord?" added Mimi smugly.

Angry pink eyes suddenly turned around and slapped Mimi across the face with all their might,sending her flying across the room.

"Shut up and carry out my orders." Gaito said coldly, "And don't stick your noses where they don't belong."

He then left two very shocked 'sisters' behind to ponder at his words.

˚˙༓࿇༓˙˚˙༓࿇༓˙˚˙༓࿇༓˙˚

"A long time ago,as I was traveling around the Europe," began Ryo once he and the three mermaid princesses were seated around a small coffee table in his flat. " I met a beautiful mermaid on the coast of Malta. It was the love at the first sight"

Lucia and Hanon aww-ed while Rina smiled softly.

"Her name was Coralia and she was the princess of the Mediterranean sea. We were happy for a while,until.." the smile that was on Ryo's face faltered.

"Until what?" Lucia asked, wanting to know more.

"Lucia." Rina scolded the blonde girl.

"I'm sorry! But can you please continue?"said  the voice of the pink pearl.

Rina sighed in exasperation,face palming.

"....until one day,she caught me kissing another girl." finished Ryo quietly,but Lucia,Hanon and Rina who still heard him,gasped.

"WHAT?!?"

"It's not what you think!" the Oshima man added quickly upon seeing their expressions. "I didn't kiss that girl,it was the other way around."

"But it doesn't matter in the end,because Coralia still saw the kiss."the young Harp player said sorrowfully,his head bent low in shame.

'Poor Coralia' thought Lucia, 'I can't imagine how she must've felt upon seeing the man you loved kissing another girl.' her thoughts drifted to Kaito,imagining how she herself would've felt in Coralia's place if she caught Kaito kissing someone else.

"I searched day and night for her in order to explain what really happened,but couldn't find her.After two weeks,I finally gave up because I had to leave Malta in order to continue my tour with Tarou Mitsuki."finished Ryo sadly.

The three best friends thanked him for telling the story,and after finishing their teas soon left.
