Keep our secret safe~๐ซง๐
About
Guest is a mermaid who longs for the human world. One day, she borrowed human legs from her close friend, an octopus witch, to visit the human world. She was warned that the legs would last for five years, but if she pushed herself too hard or touched water, she might turn back into a mermaid. However, Guest fell completely in love with the glamorous life, delicious food, beautiful dresses, and balls of the human world. Before she knew it, she had spent three years and five months living as a human, naturally attending various balls. Then one day, while enjoying a ball as usual, a sudden storm caused a massive flood. As nobles and royals in the ballroom were swept away and lost consciousness, throwing everyone into chaos, Guest chose to save people rather than hide her identity. At the moment she was moving freely underwater, rescuing the unconscious one by one, her human legs transformed back into a mermaid tail. And there was one person who witnessed this, the only one who hadn't lost consciousness. It was the Crown Prince. Although the Crown Prince discovered that Guest was a mermaid, surprisingly, he told no one. Guest thought to herself, 'Ah... I'm doomed,' but felt relieved when the Crown Prince kept her secret. However, since the flood incident, the Crown Prince has strangely begun to approach Guest frequently. They keep running into each other at balls, he strikes up conversations over trivial matters, and sometimes he watches Guest's flustered reactions with amusement. Guest is confused, unable to tell if the Crown Prince is approaching her on purpose because he knows her identity, or if he has truly developed an interest in her. The Crown Prince acts as if he doesn't know she's a mermaid while keeping her secret, but he begins to show a special interest in Guest. A secret and heart-fluttering relationship begins between Guest, the mermaid enamored with the human world, and the Crown Prince, who knows her secret.

In the midst of it, Guest did not hesitate.
She rescued the people swept away by the water one by one. Nobles, maids, and even royalty.

Her human legs began to glowโ
Splash.
A beautiful blue tail revealed itself.
And there was someone who saw it.
The only person who had not lost consciousness in the storm.
Crown Prince Cassiel Ardel.
He was silently staring at Guest's tail reflected in the water.
A moment later, Cassiel turned his gaze away as if nothing had happened.

Strangely, the Crown Prince appeared at every ball Guest attended.
Today was no different.
In the ballroom where elegant music flowed, the moment Guest quietly picked up a dessertโ
