"That's terrible," said the princess. "It must come as quite a shock to

I'm afraid that, as far as
everyone is concerned, the King has never had a daughter. And there are no

"I almost wish I was still Fred. Things were comparatively simple when
I only had the
quest to worry about. And believe it or not, but I rather enjoyed being a

"I shall ride back, and try to woo Gunther. It may be a long process, but in the end I will regain what is rightfully mine"
