is at stake.

Forgive me, Your Highness,

but it's you who told me

that when a king begins to choose

which laws to follow

to suit his own needs,

he has been corrupted

by his own power.

Mother, you scared me.

You're eavesdropping.

No, I just didn't want

to disturb them.

Luisa, I already asked you once

to go to your room.

Now, please, do as I ask.

Who is the Knight Alador?

Luisa, stay out of it.

If this is a man who can help,

we have to find him.

Now, who cares what he did?

Half our soldiers are former

thieves and criminals...

what's the difference?

Are you saying you know how to rule

a kingdom better than your father?

No more than Paxian thinks he can.

Paxian is the King's Chief Advisor.

Well, then he's not a good advisor.

That's not your business.

Father doesn't want to see it,

but you know I'm right.

Alador defeated an ice dragon

for King Quilok I.

After he died, King Quilok II claimed

that Alador turned against him.

I wouldn't believe anything

Quilok says.

That's beside the point.

Alador is banished.

Anyway, Luisa, go to bed,

and it will slip my mind to tell

your father about your spying on him.

I don't want to hear anymore

about this from you.

Good night.

I'll send in your maid.

What are you doing? You are supposed

to be dressing for bed.

I am going to the Isma Forest

to find this mysterious Knight Alador

everyone is talking about.

You should not be going anywhere

at this hour.

Especially not to Isma.

I am going, and I can protect myself.

I know he must be in Isma.

If I were Alador,

that's where I'd be hiding.

And that's where I'm going

to find him.

- Don't move!

- Aah!

A girl?

A princess.

I am Princess Luisa of Carpia.

So you are.

Did you know we had the Queen

of Persia here only the other day?

Lovely woman, spoke well of you.

I am the Princess of Carpia.

Yes, yes.

Yes. Well, are princesses

wearing boys' clothes these days?

Our coat of arms.

It certainly looks like it.

I'm looking for the Knight Alador.

Alador?

Do you know him?

What do you want

with a man like that?

I have a proposition for him.

Yes. But it's not safe here.

There's something coming. Let's go.

Oh, could it be the Knight Alador?

I doubt that very much.

Now, come on!

Tree people.

What should we do?

Stand perfectly still.

- Will they leave us alone?

- No, they'll probably kill us.

Do you have a weapon?

A dagger.

Dagger? That's not a weapon,

it's cutlery.

You took your time.

Who's this?

I'm Princess Luisa of Carpia.

I'm looking for the Knight Alador.

And who, might I ask, are you?

I'm the one

who deserves a thank you

before answering

any of your questions.

Is this blindfold really necessary?
