The king decrees the marriage of Vivian and Xavier, stripping Rosalie of both her fiancé and throne. Xavier publicly declares Rosalie unworthy and produces the Truth Umbrella to test her royal lineage. It reveals her black hair, the mark of a 'mudblood' mermaid, exposing her as an illegitimate heir. The enraged king accuses Rosalie's mother, Helen, of using dark magic to deceive him, while Helen pleads for her daughter. Rosalie is now exposed and disgraced, with her future and the kingdom's fate hanging in the balance.
