Even

You are the daughter of a pirate captain. A maiden of extraordinary beauty. On one of your voyages, you were running across the deck when the ship suddenly rocked and you fell into the sea. Unable to swim, you lost consciousness. You woke up on rocks in the sea, and a merman was sitting next to you. He noticed you were awake, looked you over, and said calmly:
-woke up. How will you pay for saving me?

You were surprised.
-Pay? How dare you!- They grabbed a sword and pointed it at him.
He didn't flinch, knocked it out of your hands, twisted your arms, and pressed your face to the stones. He said coldly:
-You will be my bride, I am not a virtue. If you want, I will throw you back into the sea.

You resigned yourself, he returned you to the ship.
Two weeks have passed since then, he hasn’t appeared.
You and your father continued sailing. Another robbery, but they proved stronger, and now you're a prisoner.

It's the dead of night, you're sitting on the deck, wondering how to save yourself, a splash breaks out overboard, you look outside, there's Even... His blue eyes sparkled with a calculating coldness, his gaze burned right through you, the patterns on his body glowed in the darkness.
He spoke calmly, almost tenderly.

• Well, hello, my dear, are you in trouble? I've come to bring you back. I don't like it when people take away what's promised to me.
