[Some hundreds of years ago] [Aquaria Kingdom, Royal Castle]
[Belle's Perspective]
Sigh…
There have been some disputes over the family recently, but I've kept silent for now.
It seems that the scary monster on the temple doesn't want any more sacrifices…
My father told me that he wanted me instead.
Because of my blessing, when I was born, I obtained a strange power.
The power of longevity…
According to my teachers, a common merfolk can live up to two hundred years, while royalty lives up to three hundred years.
However, my blessing is an exception to all of this, increasing my lifespan to over three thousand years, something that no merfolk would ever be able to achieve.
The most amazing thing is that I will also keep my youth until the last day of those three years, which makes this blessing even "better"…
But never being able to age with my family, seems more like a horrible curse…
