How to Trigger the Event

#	Step-by-Step Guide
1	In order to progress through the Searching for the Mermaid Quest, it is a must to have a male emperor on the throne. If you have a woman emperor, you can Abdicate her and choose a male emperor to sit the throne.

3	Talk to the residents in Atlanticus to gather information about the mermaid. Afterwards, go the inn and Rest until the Evening.
4	During the nighttime, enter the tavern and interact with the empty chair, where a cutscene will ensue. Afterwards, talk to the tavern owner and pick Maybe I'll do just that. Do this two more times until the cutscene changes where the dancer invites you to dance with her.
5	Chase the dancer by exiting through the back door and follow her to the cape to trigger a cutscene. This side quest will end if you inherit the emperor status and become a dancer, as this will lock you out from completing this quest. If you're a female emperor, you can continue the event until the dancer performs in the tavern three times, but you won't be able to proceed with chasing her to the cape behind the tavern. If you change the emperor from a female to male in the middle of the side quest, you'll be able to resume the quest from the point where you're collecting information about the dancer.
6	Return to the tavern. After the cutscene, go to the new location on the world map, Witch's Sanctum.
