The young lady asks the king why he hasn't come back yet. The king tells her that he's going to take the princess to the palace. He's got a bug of "almighty poison" waiting for him, and he wants to know if the princess is okay. He tells the young lady to come with him. She coughs and coughs, and the king says that the palace has been broken into and that the princess has gone missing. The girl says that they need to check on the situation at the palace, since the king and the princess have left for the infant's residence. She says that she's afraid that without the bug, the king wouldn't be able to harm the princess. She tells the king that they're going to leave for the palace immediately, and that he can have another bug of the poison waiting for them.
