This chapter's epigraph comes from a famous line in Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice. It says, "There is no girl who is bound to be offended by it." In other words, there are no girls who can refuse a prince's advances when he asks for money or goods in exchange for night-time service. This is not a joke. It's true that there are girls who refuse when they are forced to do so, but it's also true that no girl can refuse when a prince asks her to do something for him. In fact, she's the only girl in the entire story who's willing to do anything for him, even if it means that she'll have to give up her dreams of becoming a queen.
