[Anneliese, Preminger, and Serafina arrive outside the mines]
What are we doing here?
Preminger
Taking a little side trip, princess.
AAnneliese
[realizes, angrily]
You were behind this!
Preminger
Very clever planting a double to fool the queen, but not quite clever enough. Checkmate! I win. [pulls Anneliese by her arm into the mines]
AAnneliese
Serafina!
Nick
[Serafina follows Anneliese and Preminger into the mines as Hervé watches on. Preminger pushes Anneliese down]
Nice to see you again, Your Highness. [to Nack] Watch your step.
AAnneliese
I don't understand, Preminger. Why would you do this?
NNack
To be king. [gets punched in the shoulder by Nick]
AAnneliese
And how would you get to be king?
Preminger
Still underestimating me? Isn't that just like a royal?
NNack
He was going to marry you.
AAnneliese
[surprised]
What?
NNack
[Preminger and Nack get Anneliese up]
Now he's got a new bride in mind.
Preminger
Your mother is a very handsome woman. [laughs evilly]
AAnneliese
[Preminger and Nack take Anneliese further into the mines, with Nick following behind. Serafina follows behind as well. Preminger opens the door and pushes Anneliese in. Julian is kneeling on the floor with his hands tied behind his back]
Julian!
Julian
[surprised]
Anneliese?
Preminger
[Anneliese starts to untie Julian]
How sad they'll be when they discover you've died in a tragic accident.
Julian
They'll never give up looking for the princess.
Preminger
Oh, I think they will. When I show them this. [shows Anneliese and Julian the former's ring. He laughs evilly] Oh, that's funny.
Julian
[Anneliese finishes untying Julian. Preminger leaves and closes the door behind him. Julian pulls on the door handle, but is unsuccessful. He shoulder barges against it to break it down, but is unsuccessful]
