Suppression

When Loya made her appearance in the fish-scaled dress, the mermaids glared at her with anger.

They were taken aback by the audacity of the royal family, allowing the princess to wear a fish-scaled dress despite the mermaids' ongoing protest.

Under the scorching afternoon sun, Loya's dress shimmered with a kaleidoscope of colors. However, the crowd below had no interest in admiring such radiance.

As the guards brought forward a little mermaid, the fury among the mermaids grew stronger.

"Release the child!"

"Reject the use of human fish scales!"

"Boycott Princess of Dawn and the entire royal family!"

The calls for boycott grew louder and more resolute. Loya took several deep breaths, gradually regaining her composure.

She understood that if she faltered now, the king might abandon her to appease the merfolk's rage. She had to resolve the situation herself.
