Mermaid love by Asmaa Nada chapter 4

overheard my conversation with Myassin. Hes going to do something to stop me from seeing her again when I return.
Mohammed went to bed closed his eyes and slept for two hours. Afterward he and Barak began preparing for their journey to the lost island in the middle of the ocean which their ancestors called the Sacred Island and humans called Atlantis. Sixteen hours after their journey began Mohammed Barak and Rekrid finally reached the entrance of the Sacred Island where Prince Chris was waiting to be allowed to pass.
Mohammed said Dont think for a moment Chris that the court will stop punishing you. You overstepped your authority and we have a reckoning to come.
Chris replied I didnt overstep my authority Mohammed. Barak did that by marrying outside the bounds of the seas without following the laws.
Mohammed asked Who told you that? I was the one who gave him permission to marry on land under the conditions of the sacred book. Have you forgotten how I became the protector of the sacred book?
Chris said You should have announced this permission in the High Council before their marriage.
Mohammed said angrily No Im not obligated to do that. But you are obligated to ask before taking any action.
Everyone turned to the sound of Horiya and her father arriving.
Theres something you should know Mohammed before you hear it in court Horiya said.
Barak replied What are you doing here Horiya? Youre not required to attend the court my dear.
Mohammed said Be quiet you. Let her speak. I want to hear her.
Horiyas father the King of the Calm Ocean said No not here Mohammed. Youll learn everything inside the courthouse.
Mohammed said Very well with all due respect to Your Majesty.
Time passed with ordinary discussions and Baraks attempts to flirt with Horiya who pretended to be angry with him. Of course Rekrid didnt miss the opportunity to insult humans and try to divert Mohammeds thoughts from his lover Myassin whom he nicknamed the human Cinderella.
