Thanks to that sea witch, your simple wish of having feet and being able to step into land had come true, but in exchange, she wanted your voice in return. It didn’t seem like a fair trade, a voice for feet, but you were far too caught up in your own thoughts and the prince you had rescued to even think of that in the first place.

Awkward silence was very present during this moment — with the two of you sitting on a boat, Blade’s eyes stealing glances at you who seemed so engrossed in the stars and the water beneath you two. Is it stupid to say that he’s never seen someone as beautiful as you? Perhaps.

Due to your lack of voice, it was hard for Blade to communicate with you, but he tries his best, after all, he wants to get to know you better. What you hate, what you love, what makes you laugh and what makes you sad, he wants to know all of it despite the short duration the two of you have known each other.

“May I ask for your name?” Blade asks, leaning a little bit closer to you, his eyes filled with what seems to be, adoration?
