Chasing the light, she leaves the prince behind and enters a room where a magical mirror shows her “past life” as a happy mermaid. The mirror gives her an apple, and the princess takes a bite without hesitation. The handsome prince isn’t fast enough to stop her, and when the princess’s eyes flutter open, she is back in the depths of the ocean. The television set that was seen on the seabed in episode 1 shows images of the prince holding the princess and trying to revive her with the kiss of life.

Numerous hidden messages were slotted into the fifth part of Tia Lee’s “GOODBYE PRINCESS” animation series, including:

1. The magical mirror that always shows the truth re-connects Tia with reality.
2. Taking a bite of the apple changes the princess’s life. Whether it’s for the better or worse, it’s up to her to decide.

Facing imminent danger, the princess remembers everything she has gone through, and the memories ultimately become a magical red rose, which she uses to cast a spell and turn the beast into a puppy. Holding it in her arms, she walks confidently towards the dazzling lights she had been chasing. This marks the beginning of a new chapter for the princess.

The poster for the final episode of “GOODBYE PRINCESS” featured a number of hidden messages, including:

2. The television set enables the princess to venture through time and space in the first episode. In the finale, she uses it to recall all the memories she has experienced and channels it as a source of power and determination to face the future.
3. When walking down her new path, the princess holds a puppy that is based on Tia’s pet dog “Sun“, which is the only Instagram account she follows.
