In a soliloquy, the princess laments the fact that she and her companions have been killed. She asks the king to take care of her and her sister, and to protect their highness. She also wants to know if the king is planning to use the pendant as a weapon against the kingdom. The king says that he is not planning to do so, but the princess reminds him that ten years ago, he plotted to overthrow the king. She holds onto the pendant, which she has been told will protect her against evil. She tells the king that her father gave the pendant to her, and she begs him to take her back to the capital. When the king refuses, she tells him that her sister is being treated badly because she is with the king's men. She says that it is possible that the princess has already joined the men, and that she might also be in danger
