Me, the prince, with a milkmaid?
People might snicker she was the best I could do.
My lord, if you’d prefer we can turn back.
Hmmm…
We’ve come this far, we might as well-
(hoofbeats approaching)
I doubt people will snicker, sir—
Humble milkmaid!
It is I, your prince!
And you will
marry me!
I know the joy is overwhelming.
But you must try to get a hold of yourself-
I don’t know if you misheard me-
But I am your
PRINCE!
(O.S.) This is insubordination!
s
You are aware refusal means death…
right?
Kill me then.
Are you-
KIDDING ME?
I am your
PRINCE.
And I’m
not THAT bad!
(O.S.) I don’t understand it…
How could you rather be
DEAD
Than married to
me?
Because marriage involves love,
and that is not a pasttime at which I excel.
I tried it once and it went poorly.
I am sworn never to love another.
HA!
Hahaha!
LOVE!
(O.S.) Who said anything about love?
(O.S.) Not me, that’s for sure.
Look, it’s not a difficult choice.
You can marry me
and be the richest,
most powerful woman in a thousand miles.
OR…
You can die.
Painfully.
In the very near future.
I’ll never love you.
I wouldn’t want it if I had it.
Then by all means, let us marry.
