Watching the two "fish" holding hands and swimming back, chatting as they went, the Prince talking about the human world, and the Mermaid Princess about the Mermaid Kingdom—with a handsome man and a beautiful woman, their eyes interlocked; it seemed as if affection was subtly burgeoning between them.
The scene looked lovely.
But from atop the Flying Carpet, Mu Ying saw this as the beginning of a tragedy.
There was no real Magic Potion that could turn a mermaid into a human, and the Mermaid Clan would never accept a human; by nature, they were at odds.
This opposition wasn't even based on racial prejudice, but rather on some slavers' pursuit of mermaids.
Otherwise, the Mermaid Kingdom wouldn't have such an isolated relationship with the humans on shore, instead allowing the witch to act as a middleman and profit from the difference.
Moreover, this Prince wasn't necessarily a good sort.
