Ariel was so in love with the prince that she agreed to the deal. She had to give up her voice in exchange for her new legs. So Ursula took her voice away, and transformed her, sending her on land. That same day, the prince was again searching the shore for his mysterious singer, and found Ariel. Ariel couldn't sing, she couldn't speak, yet she still seemed very familiar to the prince. The prince decided to take her home to his castle and take care of this strange, mute girl. During those three days, Ariel and the prince explored the kingdom, with Ariel loving the human world, and the prince slowly loving Ariel.
