The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story

Chapter 0574

The waves were choppy today, making for an unpleasant boat ride. Even a boat as big as the yacht we were on was subject to many up and down jumps. My stomach was in knots. Though, admittedly, it probably would have been even without the constant ups and downs.

I had a dire feeling being out on the water again. Even on a boat as big as this one, I didn't feel safe. It was that strong feeling that had me leave Elva ashore with the nanny. I could take a risk for myself, but I'd never endanger her.

I held onto the railing on the side of the boat and tried to keep my eyes on the horizon line. If I concentrated there, I was sure I could overcome my seasickness.

I wasn't the only one who was ill. Jessica was lying down across one of the nearby benches, her arm thrown over her eyes. When the cameras came nearby, she would rouse herself and smile. But even then, she looked pale and queasy. I'm fairly certain she'd been sick, but she was discreet about it.

Losing her breakfast didn't seem to help her disposition though. She still looked ill and miserable.

Every now and then, I dropped my gaze to the water nearer the boat. The yacht itself was creating a wake, and in that ripple of water, I occasionally caught glance of a merfolk soldier or two.

When Nathan had agreed to Bridget's plan, he had alerted our merfolk protectors. Several of them agreed to follow around the boat to protect it and us, in case Prince Ronan was still lingering nearby looking to do one of us harm.
