Marianne snaps back to reality when the crown prince go to answer the knock at the door.
Her heart is racing, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. She has let her guard down and allows herself to feel things she has been trying to repress. She js afraid that if the crown prince found out her true identity, she would be in serious trouble and he would hate her.
Quickly, Marianne go to the bathroom, locking the door behind her. She takes off her clothes, realizing she is still wearing the female clothes she has used to disguise herself.
As she undresses, she removes the wig and washes the makeup off her face. She stare at herself in the mirror, feeling a strange mix of emotions. It has been a risk to disguise herself as a man, let alone of disguising back again as woman, but it had been necessary to save princess Charlotte. If not for her mother, she might be in hell now.
