Ocean kingdom by Asmaa Nada chapter 2

talking about and since when is there a boundary between the older and younger brother?
Ivan said Your limits brother begin with my freedom. Did I come to you to ask you why you separated from your wife Princess Miriam despite your love for her? I did not do so. Why? Because I respected your freedom? Isnt that so?
My dear my separation from Miram does not break any law in the Bible Rikred said.
Ivan said The Holy Bible was written by members of our race not the law of the Lord and the Lord did not forbid us getting to know other races but rather encouraged it.
         
If you agree to be the kings successor then change the rules Rikred said.
Ivan said We are back again. Why dont you be his successor?
I am not one of the seven aquatic races Rikrid said.
Ivan said I did what I had to to stop the blood and I dont want to..
  
The kings voice came Ivan! Dont continue talking. Its not your choice anymore. Everyone depends on you.
Ivan said I will not be your successor. I love a woman and I will not leave her because of your holy book.
The king whispered in Ivans ear I told you to bring her here. I did not ask you to leave her. I know that the heart of a mermaid only loves once or twice. I will not stand in the way of your happiness but you must reconcile your happiness with your kingdom my son. Now go. The time for ascension is near. To the surface and you can tell her now I will show anger and run away before I am ordered to imprison you.
Ivan raised his eyebrows and smiled then said You are the one who asked this is for you.
Youre not going anywhere Ivan the king said in a loud voice.
Ivan did not wait for his fathers words. He had left the palace and headed to the roof. When he approached the shore he began pulling his body onto the shore away from the water. Then he waited a few moments until the tail changed into the shape of two feet like a human then he got up and put on the pants he was holding in his hand. He put on the perfume and looked around with his eyes searching for the rock on which his beloved was sitting but she was not there. He felt pain in his chest but it quickly disappeared when he heard her whispering from behind him.
Mayasin said How? How did you do it?
Ivan said smiling I did what?
Mayasin pointed her hand to his feet as she put some strands of her gypsy hair behind her ear and spoke
How did the tail turn into feet?
Ivan said The tail?! What? Do you see that I am an animal in front of you? What tail are you talking about?
Mayasin smiles and ignores what he says I saw you sitting in front of my window watching me while I was sleeping and there was a tail not feet.
Ivan said So you saw me and did you tell anyone about this?
Mayasin said No dont worry this is a secret between us. Tell me why you didnt try to talk to me before?
I didnt want you to be afraid of me Ivan said.
Mayasin said Why should I be afraid? Do you eat people?
Ivan said with a smile No but it is forbidden by the laws of the kingdom to approach and deal directly with humans.
Mayasin said Why?
Ivan said There are many reasons including that you fight each other and
