Entangled with the Duke

The scene opens with the royal aunt scolding her son for standing too close to the third master. The royal aunt tells him that it was his fault that he stood so close to her, and she hopes that he will not take the incident to heart. She also tells him to watch out for her someday, when she will throw him into the lake too. The two young men continue their conversation in the royal library, and the aunt asks the young men to leave. The young men do not want to go, but the aunt tells them to go anyway.
