However, the queen overhears his true motive: he only wants to marry her to obtain her Heart of the Ocean to save his own father, declaring his love for another. Now with her life hanging by her final scales, she must confront the man's betrayal and her own dire sacrifice.

During a tense family meal, her father pressures her to be grateful when a white-scaled mermaid, Windseal, serves her food. Serlanty finally confronts them, revealing that everyone knows Windseal's preferences, but no one remembers she is severely allergic to seaweed.
Serlanty, the Mermaid Queen, is seen preparing for her wedding to a man who promises her a lavish ceremony. Unaware that she is being manipulated, he privately reveals his true plan: he is only using her to heal Winsil with her golden scales, then he intends to take her heart to defeat the land king. He cruelly tells her that in the eyes of others, she exists only for his purposes, and once she has given up all her scales, he will replace her entirely, dropping his loving act after the wedding in four days.
The mermaid Serlanty is left with only 33 scales. A man demands her golden scales to save a dying individual named Sil. When Serlanty refuses, the man dismisses her injury, accuses her of faking, and insists she has many scales to spare. He then threatens to call off their wedding if she doesn't comply immediately. Serlanty retaliates, revealing she had used her own scales to heal him, challenging how they became property for someone else.
On the eve of her wedding, a woman is confronted by another who demands that her frail brother, Winsil, must attend.

Under pressure and reminded of her duty, the woman relents. She reveals she only has thirty-three of something left, setting a desperate limit to whatever price must be paid.
