Meanwhile, at the Yancey resident.
Joe was lying on the floor drunk. When he returned from the palace the previous day, he felt like a loser. Although the princess manages to talk him out of fighting the cursed prince he still felt useless.
So he drank himself to sleep. Lord Yancey on the other hand decides to visit his son's chamber that morning. He was planning to discuss choosing a new wife since the Princess will be marrying another.
Lord Yancey planned to marry Joe to Ellen's cousin Jane, who is the daughter of Agatha's brother. He felt it was time for both families to unite since they have been friends for two generations already.
He was shocked at the state he met his son. The handsome young man looked like an abandoned child. He took a deep breath to calm himself. His heart ached for his son. He could understand how he felt, after all, he felt the same way when Agatha got married to king George.
