Chapter 29

“Beatrix, what’s this?” she asked unhappily.

Where was the chicken that she was so prepped up to eat?

“Big sis, this is chicken-flavoured fish. And the soup was made from ginger...”

“Forget it. I’m not eating. Take it away, Beatrix. You deceived me.” Lavana folded her arms, pouting.

“Eh?” the little one widened her eyes in disbelief, pointing at herself.

“I deceived you? How could you say such a thing!”

“You said there’s a reward but I see no reward.” Lavana looked away.

“Big sis,” Beatrix drew closer and whispered. “You are a mermaid, right? Why are you unhappy to eat fish? Or is seaweed your favourite food then?” she asked.

‘What seaweed? Who wants to eat those? Who told you I like fish?”

“I thought you’d like it.”
