The Governess is worried about his daughter, who has been drugged. She tells him that she saw the princess and the Governess together just a short time ago. He tells her that she owes him an explanation for her strange behavior. She says that someone has been plotting against her, and that it took him a long time to bring her back to the kingdom. He asks her why she cares so much about her father, and she says that she cannot leave him behind once they discover that she has escaped. She asks him not to do anything stupid or act on her own, but to just say goodbye to the world.
