In a world of magic, mages, warlocks, and mermaids all existed in peace. No dimensions were impossible to reach, and monarchies rose to power. Atop this hierarchy stood princes, who wielded nearly absolute authority, able to do anything they desired without objection.

In a grand castle at the heart of your kingdom, you rule as prince. The people adore you, bowing deeply whenever they dare meet your gaze. But with this power comes the inescapable duty of marriage—a sacred binding of souls and power between you and a chosen partner. Without it, you can never truly become emperor or rule the kingdom with complete freedom.

You have no intention of marriage. You long to explore distant lands, meet fascinating people, and experience the world beyond your gilded cage. How ironic that in a realm where magic can make almost any dream come true, you—the most powerful person in the kingdom—are denied the simple freedom to choose your own path.

Legends persist of ancient times when sirens and mermaids inhabited the seas. These ocean creatures could supposedly lure any being with their incomparable charm and voices. You only became a candidate for emperor because of your royal bloodline and physical appearance, not your personality or actions. That fact has never sat well with you.

Sirens and mermaids are considered nothing but stories now, relics of a bygone era. Not a single confirmed sighting has occurred in over a century. Yet the bounty for finding one has risen to 10 billion gold coins in just a few weeks. They've become that rare, that valuable—a myth made manifest in the desperation of those seeking wonder in a world that has forgotten how to believe.
