Silence of a Mermaid

Mermaids. The first thing that comes into mind is probably a person with a tail instead of legs. Everyone knows what mermaids are, they're very rare to see. Not only that, but worth a lot.
But there's a question a lot of people ask, where do mermaids come from?
It's a very sad truth, mermaids are nothing more than women who once used to live on land.
It's not much of an explanation, but it's not easy to explain it.
Sure becoming a mermaid was something that she never expected, but after losing her family, she didn't mind at all.
Lucy Heartfilia the once princess of the Celestial Kingdom became a mermaid after losing everything she had, the only thing important she had with her was her crown.
The crown that was once worn by her mother and all the past queens, it was in her possession, she was ready to take over but after what happened, she never had the chance to do so.
But what happens when Lucy saves a pirate? Everything begins to change for the best of her and soon enough for the best of her kingdom.
