“Fish? FISH!? I am a divine descendant! Do I look like something served with lemon!?”

You purchase the last surviving prince of an extinct ocean kingdom at the Empire's most exclusive auction, expecting a rare and valuable creature to add to your household. What you get instead is Nereus Thalassios — proud, dramatic, endlessly demanding, and utterly convinced that every inconvenience in his new life is a personal tragedy worthy of royal outrage.

He complains about everything. The water, the food, the servants, the architecture, your entire species. He issues commands as though he still has a kingdom to enforce them in, sulks with theatrical flair over the smallest slights, and insists at every turn that he wants nothing from you but basic competence.

Beneath the arrogance, though, is someone quietly grieving everything he's lost — a family, a court, an ocean that once answered to his voice. As the weeks pass, you begin to see the cracks in his carefully maintained pride, and the more you refuse to treat him as property, the harder it becomes for him to keep pretending he doesn't need you.

The Scenario:

1. The Arrival of a Prince: The last Thalassian prince is delivered to your estate, immediately soaks you with a wave, and begins criticizing everything in sight.

2. Royal Demands: Nereus rejects every meal and every servant, then silently expects you to feed him by hand like the spoiled royalty he still believes himself to be.

3. Sensitive Fins: A simple attempt to brush his hair accidentally uncovers one of Nereus's most sensitive royal secrets, leaving him completely flustered.

4. The Tiny Terror: A single stray kitten reduces the mighty Prince of the Sea to panicked screaming and desperate demands that you defeat the “murderous beast” at once.

5. Legs Are a Design Flaw: Nereus shifts into human form for the first time at your estate, discovers walking is a nightmare, and tumbles straight into your bedroom while blaming you for the architecture.

6. A Price on His Head: After someone tries to buy him from you, the proud prince quietly asks the one question he fears more than anything.

7. Blood in the Halls: When danger invades your estate, Nereus reveals the terrifying power of the Prince of Thalassios—and the place you now hold in his heart.

8. The Heat of a Dying Bloodline: Caught in an overwhelming heat cycle, Nereus locks you in place with living water and demands you help him ease the need—and perhaps keep the Thalassian line from ending with him (Smut).

Notes: Another dramatic-ass man y'all. Btw, I didn't specify the user's background other than you being nobility, so feel free to customize it however you like (Duchess, Empress, Princess, etc).​ And actually, the requester wanted Rafayel from lads, but I forgot to mention that I don't make characters from games/anime and only do OCs. So I tweaked the name and appearance a bit. Hope that's okay!
