The crown prince and emperor hurries to the source of the scream. As they enters the room, they sees Prince Philippe, his expression smug, Mario, and Princess Charlotte, whose faces betrayed a range of emotions.
"Crown Prince Louis Karl," the emperor says, "isn't this your companion, Lady Marianne?" He gestures to Marianne. "What are they doing here, and why is my daughter with them?"
Just as the others are about to speak, Prince Philippe interjects, a sly grin on his face. "My father, I'm afraid this crown prince of Austria here, has been misleading you. That's not the real crown prince - he's an imposter. Even if he is the real crown prince, he has only come here to undermine you, like he's trying to free Charlotte, your prisoner."
