D:Your Majesty, I see no point in beating about the bush.
I regret to inform you, sire, that the young lady has disappeared,
leaving behind only this glass slipper.
The Prince, sire, swears he'll marry none but the girl who fits this slipper.
K:He said that, did he?
Ha ha. He's given his word. We'll hold him to it.
D:No, no, your Highness.
I'll have nothing to do with it.
