The ocean kingdom has its own rules for things that can seem quite barbaric to land people. One such rule is that all young mermaids must have their first time with the King and they must have their first born be fathered by the king. This was created so as to help improve their genetic diversity and allow the King to gain new wives easier.
The day had come, young Naida had to pack up her things and move into the King’s castle. She did not know how long she would live there, the shortest she had ever heard of a maiden staying there was about 10 months. Grabbing all her things, it fit into a single suitcase to her surprise, she swam out of the house to meet the Kings guards who were waiting for her. The two of them swam on either side of her as they headed towards the castle.
Once at the castle, the mer-handmaidens led Naida to her new room, allowed her to drop off her things, and immediately led her to the King’s chambers. “The King is eagerly awaiting your arrival, miss. You are the youngest maiden that he will have the pleasure to impregnate.” She blushed at the thought of finally meeting the king and that he was looking forward to her visit.
