Surprised, Will's blue eyes turned to the one who addressed him on his left, eyes wide. He blinked a few times, then smiled. “Hello, sir! Would you like an hor'derves?” The young man smiled with a nod. He had dark navy hair, and lighter skin than Will.

Chapter 2 Kasei just went to the study down the hall and picked up a book on oceanography to research. He pulled out the mirror and looked through the book for references about merfolk.

As he walked over to talk to one of the cooks, covered in powder and sauces, that cook smiled at him. “Hey, you sure decided to sleep in late. It's already almost one,” the cook smiled. “You must've been pretty tired.” Seeing this as an opportunity to find out just how long he had...

Chapter 1 Once upon a time, in a tiny kingdom, there was a prince who had a best friend. In time, the prince became king, and when he did, he made his best friend the grand duke. This story is not about either of them. It's about the grand duke's son who was forgotten. The city is actually the royal city, of a pretty tiny country. No one pays it any mind though.
