Remy led me down to his parents' palace and straight into the throne room. "Mother, Father, I have returned." Remy called.

"Prince Remond. It's good to see you." The Queen said, bowing. The King bowed as well, remaining silent.

"I have brought my mermate. This is Deceit Clover." Remy introduced me.

The Queen looked disgusted and the King looked furious.

"Leave us." The King said, trying to stay calm. The water boiled around us with the anger of Remy.

"Make me. You can't get rid of me, bitch! I'm not going nowhere. I'm not going no-fucking-where! When I said I was gay, I was dead fucking serious. It's your loss for not listening." Remy screeched.

"If it weren't for straight people, your dumbass wouldn't even exist." The Queen argued, sounding as homophobic as ever.

"GUESS WHAT, MOTHER, I DONT WANNA EXIST, CHECKMATE, MOTHERFUCKERS." Remy bellowed.

"WE NEED GRANDCHILDREN TO TAKE THE THRONE."

"OKAY BOOMER."

"Rem, baby, calm down." I said soothingly. Remy seethed, fixing me with a look that said: I AINT QUITTIN' YET, STUPID. I HAVENT HAD COFFEE YET, SO THESE MOTHERFUCKERS GET TO FACE MY WRATH.

I sighed, knowing it was probably gonna end with Remy blowing them up or something. A cute, little lady approached us, holding a paddle. She had dark, slightly wrinkled skin and was wearing an orange bandana over her grey, pixie-cut hair. Strangely enough, she reminded me of Remy.

"Hey, pal." She said, floating next to me. "What have I missed?"

"Uh...Remy starting a fight with the King and Queen. He hasn't had his coffee yet, the poor baby." I informed her.

"That's my grandson for you. Why did he start the fight?"

"He's your grandson? I knew you weren't exactly young, but I didn't peg you as that old." I exclaimed, surprised. "And to answer your question, he started a fight because his parents were giving him the homophobic treatment. I'm his mermate."

"Oh, nice to meet you! I'm Meg, what's your name?"

"Deceit. Deceit Clover." I replied.

"Alright, hold that thought. I have to break up a fight." Meg said before destroying The King with her paddle and slapping The Queen in the face with it. "ALRIGHT FUCKERS. LISTEN UP AND LISTEN WELL. I WAS THE QUEEN BEFORE REMY WAS BORN. YALL HAVE TO FUCKING LISTEN. DO YALL REMEMBER HOW I BIRTHED THE CURRENT QUEEN? NO? I FUCKING PRODUCED HER ASEXUALLY. NEED I REMIND YOU THAT MERMEN CAN ASEXUALLY PRODUCE TOO? Remy can still have kids if he wants." Meg said before greeting Remy like she never bellowed.

"Thanks, Gran." Remy said, hugging her and landing a kiss on either cheek.
