When she was a child, she committed the crime of saving a human's life. As a result, she is incarcerated in a tower. The months turned to ten years. It was then that her father, the king of the merfolk, issued an order in exchange for her to be free. "Kill Basil Adelworth, the prince of Armelia, a human nation."
