Cinderella scene three

A list of the lords entreating thee.

A list of the lords entreating me with what?

A hundred and five requests.

That seems a lot.

May I have the imprimatur of your ring on this other announcement?

Oh right, sorry. What’s it for?

Prince Topher, listen!

What was that?

You must take responsibility for your actions!

Who’s that yelling from the other side of the moat?

The people are being treated unfairly by your government!

He seems upset.

Actually, if you let me have the ring it would save the trip.

Shouldn’t we listen to what he has to say? People were never upset with Mom and Dad. Were they?

Hello, I’m talking here!

We should invite him up for a talk.

Shout this to the town square perhaps it’s time for a distraction.

What kind of distraction?

A royal wedding.

Wow. And does that work?

Like a dream every time.

But, who will get married?

Well…you.

That’s just silly. I don’t know any girls. I went to an all boys school off in the woods and then attended an all male university, on an island. Why did you do that to me?

I am going to find you a bride — oh, happy the day!

This is nonsense. How will you find me a bride?

We shall have a magnificent ball. Dancing!

What?

At the stroke of midnight, everyone will remove their masks and you will have found your bride.

That’s fast.

I am there to guide you through all your decisions. It’s really a win win.

How would any woman fall in love with me so quickly?

His royal highness, christopher rupert

Please don’t say my full name!

Windemere Vladimir

So embarrassing.

Herman?

Herman!

Is giving a ball.

Sebastian, dancing? Can we talk about this please?
