| "That's terrible," said the princess. "It must come as quite a shock
to you, but I'm afraid that, as far as everyone is concerned, the King
has never had a daughter. And there are no records to show that you ever
existed."
"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 strong, brave knight. I still love Gunther, though. Perhaps
if I go back home I can get him to fall in love with me all over again."
"Perhaps, but..."
-
"You first have one hundred miles of wild country to cross." "In that case,
perhaps you would provide me with some more suitable attire?"
-
"There is a major problem. Sir Gunther has recently married another."
-
"Whilst nobody remembers you as Princess Frederica, they all remember you
as Frederica the witch, with a price on her head."
-
"If you go back. what's to stop Crucius casting another spell on either
Gunther or on you yourself?"
-
 "I'm
afraid I have other plans for you, my dear. You surely didn't think I restored
you for YOUR benefit?"
-
"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"
Go Back
