In the ladies' chamber of the moon palace, we meet the new bachelor, Prince Klaus, who is on his way to the palace for the first time. He asks the ladies if he can spend the night alone with them, and they reply that he can, but only if he is allowed to do so. He tells them that he is going to "suck" his "highness" , and that he will have to have "strong magic powers" if he wants to become queen. He says that if he becomes queen, he will need "magic powers" because he is the only one who can bear his child. The ladies' chambers, he says, are the only place in the world where a woman can become queen, because she is one who has given birth to a child. In other words, if she is the queen, she will be the only person who has the power to bear a child, and she will have the best chance to inherit the throne from the four princes. If she does not have the power, then she will not be able to become the queen.
