In this short scene, the owl explains that he has been poisoned by the prince's sword. He tells the prince that he accidentally broke his legs when he landed, and that the prince has three options: He can die now, he can go underground and live the rest of his life as the prince, or he can get poisoned and die. The prince tells the owl that he is growing to like him more, and he asks the owl if he sees hatred and envy in his eyes
