1 Atlantic Kingdom

Down in the deepest part of the Fang ocean, a human-like fish with the upper part of a human and the lower part as a fish, with fair skin and silver hair swam fast across a turtle. It had a pink tail and it seemed she was escaping from something. Another thing in the form of her but a male soon swam past across the turtle. It had brownish hair and a red tail.

"Wang Peng!" ,a deep male voice shouted behind her. Pretending to not have heard him, she continued her speed.

"Your father wants to see you", he echoed behind her again causing her to come to an immediate stop. Her father wanted to see her? he must have heard about it. This was big trouble, which meant she would be grounded from leaving her room! The other man named Fang Lang managed to reach where she was panting for breath, the princess was extremely fast, he was exhausted now. He was also in trouble since as a personal guard he wasn't able to watch over the princess. She was just 10 years old but very naive, though he was just three years older than her.

"Wang Peng, do you know I'm in grave trouble?" he asked in a worried voice

"So? it's because you couldn't watch over me" ,she replied in an unconcerned manner

"What? is this how you repay me? after helping you all this while?" he answered looking at her angrily.

"It's not like I haven't helped you before", she said in a harsh voice.

"Princess" , two-deep male voices were heard behind

Wang Peng turned to see two palace guards, she turned pale, oh no! her father had now sent guards after her.

"The king requests to see you immediately", they continued.

"Okay," she bowed down her head, looked at Fang Lang angrily and followed the guards.

No one in the Atlantic kingdom had seen the princess before, she was kept as a mystery from them. This was to prevent anyone from trying to harm her, unfortunately, the princess was not conceding, she was a naive little girl, who wanted to see what the outside world was like. She would sneak out most times disguised and go out of the kingdom. The King had found out at times and warned her or either punished her by grounding her and preventing her from going out. Unfortunately, she had gone to the most forbidden place a mermaid was not supposed to go, the surface. Her dad found out and had summoned her now.

Soon they reached the palace, the princess felt reluctant to go in feeling a bit scared but had no other choice since the guards wouldn't allow her to escape. She saw her father sitting on the throne holding his head in his hands, he seemed to be in deep thought. After seeing his daughter he stood up on his big blue tail. With the crown on his head and the trident in his hands, only a true chosen person with royal blood had the power to hold the magical and powerful trident.

"Princess Wang Peng!", he called out her name in an angry voice.

"Father", she replied as if not knowing what she had done, having an innocent look on her face.

"Do you know you could have been seen by those wicked humans?", he asked in both an angry and worried voice. His silver hair flowed in the air as if dancing to a rhythm. Only true royals had silver hair. Her father loved her very much just that she was so naive and always got into trouble.

"But father they...", Wang Peng tried to explain.

"You are not allowed to go out for two weeks", he interrupted her.

"Father it's unfair, I just want to see the outside world, what's so wrong about that?", she asked feeling wronged.

"If only you knew, those humans are very wicked and would have no mercy on you after setting their eyes on you"

"But I can protect myself", she tried to protest but her father would listen no more.

"I'm not going to say another word...guards! take her to her room", he ordered and sat back on the throne.

In a corner not very far away, a woman eyed him with jealousy in her eyes, her husband was supposed to be on the throne and not this man.
