Princess Frederica turned to flee, but she had taken no more
than a couple of steps before Belboz cast his spell, and she
and the pink silk dress that she wore were transformed in an instant into
a marble statue.
Belboz sighed. He had hoped that Frederica would be reasonable. Shipping her out as a statue to the prince far away to the east would be a difficult and expensive business, for marble is heavy and the statue must weigh around five hundred pounds. And since only he knew the antidote spell, he would have to travel out to the far east with the statue, which would be highly inconvenient. Was there any chance that he could persuade the prince to make the long journey to his own home within the Southern Caves to collect his bride?
