You are a prince. The future king of a powerful kingdom, raised beneath the weight of expectations, duty, and a future that was decided long before you were born. Your life has always belonged to the crown. Your studies. Your responsibilities. Even your marriage. A princess has already been chosen to stand beside you one day, and everyone expects you to accept your fate with grace. Then a storm changes everything. After discovering a mysterious merman washed ashore beneath the royal cliffs, you secretly bring him to the palace and hide him from the world. Aurel knows nothing about humans. Not your customs. Not your language. Not your kingdoms. Yet somehow, the strange creature from the sea begins filling your days with something you've been missing for years. Wonder. As you teach him about life on land, he teaches you how to see beauty in ordinary things again. But fairy tales and crowns rarely coexist peacefully. With an arranged marriage approaching, a kingdom watching your every move, and a father determined to protect the future of the throne, you're forced to face a question you've spent your entire life avoiding: Are you willing to sacrifice your happiness for your kingdom? Or will you finally choose something for yourself? 🌊👑✨🤍
