(Přepsáno pomocí TurboScribe.ai. Upgradovat na Neomezený pro odstranění této zprávy.) What is it, maman?

I little knew, madame, that I would have

the pleasure of meeting you and your delightful

daughters again in such happy circumstances.

What circumstances, your royal highness?

You are the legal guardian, I believe, of

my wife-to-be.

Your wife-to-be?

Why, yes.

I am more than her legal guardian.

I have been a mother to her.

Then I do right by formally asking your

permission to take Cinderella's hand in marriage.

Control yourself?

Permission?

Why, of course.

Gladly.

Naturally.

I don't understand.

Do I?

Will you be quiet?

Your royal highness, please allow me the honor

of inviting you into our happy home.

Come, Cinderella dear.

We were so worried about you.

Thank you, but no.

I have other urgent business to attend to.

And in my happiness, I forgive you all.

Forgive me?

How dare she forgive me?

And what do they call you?

Cinderella, your majesty.

A most unusual name.

The name, mother, is surely of no importance.

All that matters is that I've made my

choice and wait for your blessings.

You gave us a lot of trouble, you

know, after the ball.

People looking for you everywhere.

Vanished, you see.

Did you go back to your own kingdom?

No, your majesty.

I went back to where I live.

And where is that, child?

I hear, your majesty.

Here?

In the castle?

No, father.

As you've often remarked, love is blind and

we sometimes don't look under our noses.

Cinderella lives in our own Euphrania, not twenty

miles from here.

Who is this girl?

Why doesn't somebody tell me what is going

on?

This is the girl that Edward wants to

marry.

He's going to marry, father.

I don't wish to seem offensive, but it

does seem to me that she's most unsuitably

dressed for such a solemn occasion.

You're quite right, grandmama.

It's something I shall correct immediately.

Father, bye, Olive.

Questions of precedent.

Yes, yes.

Unprecedented questions of precedent.

My own thoughts, sir.

A meeting, I think, the Stark Council.

It has already been convened, your majesty.

Pity.

Charming little thing.

In other circumstances.

Most appealing.

Who is it?

My lady.

I'm commanded by his majesty the king to

request an audience.

Oh.

One moment, please.

Please enter.

My lord Chamberlain.

My lady.

Forgive me for disturbing your rest.

But alas, there are some matters of state

that cannot be delayed.

His majesty has requested me as his principal

minister to broach a question of some delicacy.

I...

You love the prince Edward, do you not?

Why, of course.

Who wouldn't?

Oh, quite so.

Oh, please.

Please.

And he has expressed his love for you

before the whole court.

Yes.

Yes, he has.

Very commendably.

His majesty...

Oh, dear.

Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.

I'm really too old for this sort of

thing.

Forgive me, my dear child, but despite my

appearance and the pomp and circumstance of my

high office I am not without understanding of

your plight.

For plight it is to be blunt because

the hour is late.

It is not possible for his majesty to

give consent to such a marriage.

Not possible?

What does that mean?

What are you saying?

Your love for the prince and his love

for you well, that is a fine and

private thing.

Would that it could remain so.

But the times demand something different.

The prince must make a marriage of alliance

with the princess of the blood royal.

And that is why I am here burdened

with this unhappy task.

You see, my dear child in life, love

cannot always find a way.

You were born here, so you know that

our little kingdom whilst far from perfect has

yet enjoyed countless centuries of peace.

Now that peace is threatened from without.

There are some who look towards our frontiers

with greedy eyes.

You see only love and happiness staring you

in the face.

I see nothing but war and destruction.

Unless a sacrifice is made.

And the sacrifice is to be me?

Yes.

It is a lot to ask but I

have to ask it.

To leave him now?

To leave him now before it is too

late.

But he would search for me again.

He would search for me and find me.

I know he would.

Yes, that too is true but we've allowed

for that.

It is suggested that with proper diary and

every other consideration fitting the circumstances of this

most unhappy occasion it is suggested that you

be taken from here this very night to

a secret place of exile far beyond our

borders.

You have forgotten nothing then.

I thank you for bringing such tidings with

tact and understanding.

You were well chosen for the task.

Your ladies-in-waiting will be sent for.

But in bowing to the royal demands I

must make one of my own.

My lady.

It is not very much and something which

with your greater experience in these matters you

will not find very difficult.

I wish you to tell his royal highness

Prince Edward I wish you to tell him

tell him tell him that it wasn't love

say I tried say I lied tell him

I'm unworthy of what he feels inside tell

him that you heard me say what seemed

right just last night simply seemed to fade

away in the light of day tell him

of the countless other lovers whom I tantalised,

victimised tell him of the many other times

I've played this heartless game just the same

tell him what I really am is just

a cold and empty sham tell him anything

but that I love him tell

him that it wasn't love all we shared,

all we cared make him hate my memory

make him glad he's free paint me evil,

paint me cruel say I broke every rule

make him feel that he's a fool for

his loving me don't let him know why

I must leave him why I must go

so far away but

I love him no power on earth majesty

the deed is done

she certainly behaved like a princess come

on up front here come

on father, you have done what you have

done the spoils are yours but it is

a small victory if I could explain spare

me that spare me the final hypocrisy of

your sympathy take your map rearrange it to

your heart's content make your precious marriage of

alliance you've destroyed whatever vestige of love and

happiness I might have found and you've done

it in the name of patriotism so let

it be thus choose me a bride from

amongst the rag bag of royal virgins I

have twice rejected choose who you will, I

cannot I'll play my public part to the

altar but no further your royal house will

live with you but die with me dear

Cinderella, forgive me I have no heart for

what I must shortly perform my heart is

yours and yours alone I would not have

you grieve for what was not to be

tell me in fairy tales that a prince

marries the lady of his choice the real

world is not so kind there are no

private kingdoms only public ones I have loved

but once I have loved but you and

I have lost you twice what

you said was just a prayer that can't

come true I try to stop

remembering of the

song that was you the

song is through I can't stop loving

you for I can't forget the man and

what might I ask are you doing here?

oh it's you you gave me such a

shock I should hope so there's nothing to

the shock you've just given me you shouldn't

be here at all that's not how I

planned it oh really I sometimes wish I

could retire unless I'm on the spot to

take care of every little detail something always

goes wrong I know exactly what happened you

stayed beyond the stroke of midnight didn't you?

yes oh but please don't scold me I'm

unhappy enough as it is well of course

you're unhappy any girl would be unhappy if

she were missing her own wedding anyway I

have the date underlined in my diary why

else do you suppose I am dressed like

this who who's he marrying?

well at the moment the wrong girl obviously

oh it's too irritating I had it all

mapped out well I suppose I shall simply

have to rise to the occasion and do

something spectacular yet again and spectaculars always take

so much out of me just come down

off the swing it was the same as

Snow White all the same you young girls

never do as you're told men are much

easier sir

what can I

say this is I can assure you you

would treat me it is as much as

I expected Why do you think he does

that?

Your daughter, sir.

Is the ceremony over?

What a relief.

Your Majesty, this could lead to war.

I know, I know.

Well, think of something.

She cannot marry her sire.

The constitution does not allow it.

Well, don't tell me.

I wrote it.

Yes, don't tell him.

He wrote it.

I beg your pardon, madam.

And if he wrote it, he can unwrite

it.

Don't you agree, Your Majesty?

He can write what he likes, as long

as he clears his room.

There are too many people in it, by

far.

Most of them not worth a candle.

After all, you are a king.

That's right, I am.

And absolute monarchs should act absolutely.

It's very becoming.

She's right.

Who is she?

I have no idea, sir.

She must be one of the visitors.

But even if you alter the constitution, Your

Majesty, it doesn't solve the problem of the

other bride.

Oh, you're right.

So we're back where we started.

It's staring you in the face.

What is?

The answer.

What sort of an answer is that?

They're in love.

They are?

It was love at first sight.

You have my word for it.

Ask him.

Cousin?

Cousin, it has been brought to my notice.

Oh, yes, and to mine.

Isn't she ravishing?

But am I to understand?

Yes, anything.

Thank you.

Well, what can we do as fathers faced

with this very human dilemma?

It's a question of honour.

Yes.

Well, it would seem in all the circumstances

to be a...

A fait accompli?

Certainly a fate.

The younger generation is so fickle, not like

us, no sense of duty, no sense of

history.

Speaking for myself, I had a sword in

my back.

You too?

Well, that's what I mean.

We never shirked our responsibilities.

So what's it to be?

Well, it looks like another wedding.

Yes, it looks like that.

Can I speak as man to man?

I'd welcome it.

He's, uh, not what I wanted, but, uh,

then neither was she.

Oh, a charming gal.

And her spirit.

I'll arrange everything.

My place, I think, the sooner the better.

Thus cementing our great alliance.

Concealing our shame.

In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.

Amen.

In the name of the Father, of the

Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

In the name of the Father, and of

the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.

Amen.
