Five years later, the main square of Florin City was filled as never before to hear the announcement of the great Prince Hawkmoth's bride-to be. "My people a month from now, our country will have its 500th anniversary. On that sundown, I shall marry a lady who was once a commoner like yourselves -- but perhaps you will not find her common now. Would you like to meet her?" The prince asked and the crowd all responded with a booming yes, The staircase, as the figure appears in the archway. It is Marinette , and she resplendent. "my people I present princess..Marinette," as Marinette descends down the stairs the people look at her in awe while she tries to fight back tears, her emptiness consumed her alothugh the law give the prince the right to choose his bride she didn't love him, despite Hawkmoth's claim that she would grow to love him the only joy she found was in a daily ride. While she was out riding one day a woman with two man stopped her "We are but poor, lost circus performers. Is there a village nearby?" The woman asked "there is nothing nearby not for miles," she answered and before she could do anything the larger man pinched a nerve on her neck and a soft scream was she she manged before she knocked out. A sailboat is moored. It's dusk now, shadows are long. Lila tears a piece of a flag and attaches it to Tikki's saddle "was it that your ripping?" the other man asked "It's fabric from the uniform of an Army officer of Guilder." Lila said "Whose guilder?" Ivan asked "The country across the sea, the sworn enemy of Florin. (slaps the horse's rump) Go!" Lila yelled and Tikki ran off towards the castle "Once the horse reaches the castle, the fabric will make the Prince suspect the Guilderians have abducted his love. When he finds her body dead on the Guilder frontier, his suspicions will be totally confirmed." Lila said proudly stepping onto the boat "you never said anything about killing anyone," Ivan said "I've hired you to help me start a war," Lila complained "I just don't think it's right, killing an innocent girl," Ivan commented "I am going mad or did the world think escape your lips?!" Lila yelled extremly annoyed that he had the nerve to question her "I agree with Ivan," Nino said jumping onto the boat "oh, the sot has spoken what happens to her is not truly your concern -- I will kill her -- (louder) And remember this -- never forget this!" Lila yelled getting up into Nino's face "when I found you you were so slobbering drunk you couldn't buy brandy --and you (now yelling at Ivan) friendless,brainless, helpless, hopeless. Do you want me to send you back to where you were, unemployed in Greenland?!" Lila yelled glaring at him and turns to leave them, " during this time Ivan is very upset about the insults he recived and Nino goes to cheer up "this Lila she can fuss," "fuss fuss I think she likes to scream at us," Ivan said, as they sail off the two countine to rhyme much to Lila's annoynce "Ivan are their rocks ahead?" Nino asked "if their were we'd be dead," Ivan answered "no more rhymes no I mean it!" Lila yelled "anybody want a peanut?" Ivan asked causing Lila tp growl
