so sweet a game to kiss and hold.

Such pleasure this, if truth be told,

no one ever felt before,

such joy in loving they adore."

And now we should leave.

Could we read it again?

- Your Majesty.

- Yes?

- Some papers to sign.

- Later. Later.

I'm sorry, Your Majesty, they are

rather urgent, people want paying.

All is so urgent.

My lord and father,

at my age a girl

should already know

what sort of gallantries

men are capable of.

She should be learning to distinguish

whose heart is sincere

and who instead tells lies.

If I stay here,

my head will always be empty,

and I fear my heart will be too.

Before long you will be

old enough to be married

and then you will depart

these walls forever.

Well...

If that is indeed the case,

then find me a husband.

A husband?

What sort of husband would you like?

Well...

I'd like my husband to be

courageous and strong and...

handsome.

I'm sure such a man exists,

but until we find him,

please,

do not agitate yourself over a future

none of us can predict.

Now, let us finish our supper.

- What is it, my dear?

- It's not cooked enough.

Really?

Yes, yes, yes...

Hello?

Hello?

Elias!

Come, my DOY-

Come near me.

I can't make up my mind

about the earrings tonight.

Would you help me?

Which one do you like better.

Should we try them on?

Did you take your lesson?

Yes, earlier.

MaY I go now?

Of course.

Good night.

Elias...

You won't believe this.

What happened?

I was just in your mother's room.

- What?

- Don't worry. I was in her room.

She thought I was you.

No... impossible...

- You are playing with me.

- She thought I was you.

I was in her room... me!

- You are not joking?

- She thought I was you, I swear.

She actually called me Elias.

Do you know what this means?

What?

If we've managed to fool

even my mother,

we can do whatever we want.

- What?

- I'll be eighteen soon.

Then I'll have the throne and

we can take it in turns being king.

- What? Take turns?

- Yes.

Me one day, you the next.

What do you say?

- Me, king?

- Yes.

Imagine how happy my mother will be.

You could do whatever you wanted.

Maybe I could make her a noblewoman

and maybe she could have

a little castle as well.

We're king,

we don't have to listen anybody.

We could give her

everything she desires.

- Everything.

- Just perfect!

But we have to keep this a secret.

Yes!

Between you and me, nobody can know.

- Who is it?

- It's me, your mother.

One moment!

This way.

Jonah, my jacket!

Help me.

Come in, mother.

What is it?

Nothing...

I just wanted to see you.

You have my hands.

Even though you were inside me

only one night,

you still managed to take on my form.
