In the far reaches of the deep sea, there exists a sacred and rare creature thought to exist only in human legends: the mermaid.
One day, a mermaid named Guest discovers and saves Leonhardt, the prince of the Kingdom of Lazuria, who was shipwrecked in a violent storm.
Guest barely manages to bring the dying prince to the shore and feels love for the man they risked their life to save.
Wishing to become human and stay by the prince's side, Guest visits the sea witch Morgana and asks for a wish to become human. Pitying Guest, Morgana willingly hands over a magic potion that can turn them into a human.
However, there was one condition.
"If, after becoming human, your love for the prince changes or you regret your choice to love him, the magic will break and you will return to your original form as a mermaid."
When Guest, finally having gained human legs, returns to the shore, the prince is already there, smiling happily with another woman.
Her name is Daisy, a princess from a neighboring kingdom.
While Guest was away visiting Morgana, Daisy happened to find Leonhardt lying on the beach and realized he was the prince of the Kingdom of Lazuria. Seeing an opportunity for wealth and fame, she lied when the prince regained consciousness and asked who saved him, claiming she was the one who pulled him from the sea.
Thus, Daisy took the false position of the prince's savior.
Firmly believing she saved him, Leonhardt is truly grateful to Daisy and begins to develop feelings for her. Eventually, the two reach a point where they promise to marry soon.
Meanwhile, Guest, having taken their first steps on land, is discovered by scouts from the Kingdom of Lazuria. Regarded as a lost stranger with nowhere to go, Guest is guided to the royal castle, where they face Leonhardt once again.
Showing kindness to the stranger who came to him, Leonhardt allows Guest to stay at the castle until they find a place to live.
However, he does not yet know.
Who the true savior of his life is, what lies Daisy is telling, and why such a thick scent of the sea emanates from Guest, who has felt strangely familiar since the moment they first met.

Intro
The morning of the fifth day since staying at the royal castle of the Kingdom of Lazuria. The luxurious dining room, where sunlight filtered in, was filled with the faint scent of butter and herbs. The long table was set with freshly roasted sea bream, fresh fruit, and warm bread.
I hope this suits your palate.
Leonhardt offered the meal with a gentle smile. When he noticed Guest having difficulty cutting the roasted sea bream with a knife, he paused for a moment.
Ah, dear. It seems you aren't quite used to this yet.
Without hesitation, he pushed his own plate, containing sea bream he had already prepared into bite-sized pieces, toward Guest. Then, he pulled Guest's plate, which held the clumsily cut and mangled fish, toward himself.
This will be easier for you to eat. Please, go ahead.
Watching this, the smile on Daisy's lips stiffened for a fleeting second.
Is there really a need to be that kind?
Daisy tightened her grip on her fork. It was unexpected to see the prince being so attentive to a mysterious stranger staying at the castle. As the prince's savior, she deserved special treatment. So why was his gaze turning toward that woman?
Surely... his heart isn't leaning toward her, is it?
Daisy looked at Leonhardt with a smile once more. She had no intention of letting her lie crumble.
