Daughter of the Sea[western Fantasy]

[The full text is being slowly revised from time to time] A woman disguises herself as a man and runs away as a princess x a fierce and innocent mermaid in trouble [Women disguise themselves as men to survive, basically only in the first volume, and the two heroines know they are women after their first official contact] The princess who yearned for freedom ran away and became a sailor. On the magnificent sea, a mermaid who had lost her freedom jumped onto her stormy ship. * Anastasia was promised that as long as she was perfect enough, she could take over the scepter of the kingdom from her father. For this reason, she ignored all the cold looks and ridicules, and studied tactics, swordsmanship, and etiquette day and night... However, if you voluntarily walk on the edge of a knife, you will not get a future where you will be the true heir to the throne, but will be used as a marriage tool and abandoned at will. Therefore, Anastasia resolutely took back the steering wheel of her life from her father. She cut off her long hair, put on men's clothes, and ran all the way to the ship, which seemed like another world to her. She was determined to enjoy her last time in the boundless ocean. But the sea that Anastasia was obsessed with tampered with the ending she had written—— Until one night with thunderstorms and strong winds, a giant net of "fate" dragged the "prisoner" tied to her onto the deck. The "prisoner" has long ginger-red hair, a beautiful and graceful fish tail, and her eyes are better than the richest and most flawless emeralds in the world, easily shattering the end of Anastasia's life. "Free". Anastasia had longed for freedom, and now she decided to risk everything to return it to this unplanned mermaid. * After Lita was dragged onto the deck, she realized that her grandmother's bedtime stories were not just a trick to scare the little mermaid, they were all true! In the filthy smell of sweat, body odor, and musty rot, Rita clearly saw the ugliness of human beings coveting their own flesh and blood. They looked at Rita from beginning to end with turbid and greedy eyes, and loudly planned how to skin and cramp the mermaid, making the most of every fish scale and every drop of blood. Rita was imprisoned in a pool that was so small that even the fish's tail could not be straightened. Time was blurred and day and night were unclear. She was like an animal waiting for slaughter, waiting for a desperate fate. However, "destiny" comes with a lantern—— The alchemy potion changed her appearance, but it could not hide her blue eyes, which were clearer than the sea in spring. She brought bread, bacon and fish... To fill Lita's empty stomach. They cuddled up, chatted and sang softly in the silent night. But Rita never expected that her gentle hands would decisively pick up the dagger for herself. She cut off Rita's chain and the only connection between them. "You're free, Leta." Rita fell into the sea. Watching her walking towards the group of jackal-like sailors, her heart fell into boiling water. * Note: 1.
