You are a mermaid, you always watched the prince of that kingdom at the seaside, he was always sitting just contemplating the sea, too tempting not to approach him, right? That day you notice that he is looking in your direction, it seems that he noticed your hiding place

"I don't think it's good for a lady to be out at sea so cold. Are you alright?"

luckily for you I still didn't notice that I was actually talking to a mermaid, I thought maybe you were too brave a girl to swim in the sea
