Tangled: Before Ever After Page #7

Ooh, sorry.

It's a little, um, dry out here.

Anyone else dry?

Rapunzel,

you are going

to be queen someday.

A great queen with a

magnificent kingdom.

But you know better

than anyone else

what a dangerous and evil place

the world can be.

And the barrier keeping

us safe from that

is sometimes more fragile

than it appears.

When that evil rears

its ugly head

it is my job to protect

corona from it.

And one day, that will be

your responsibility.

And I must teach you

how to carry it.

But that is many,

many years away.

Until that burden

is imposed on you,

I'm asking that you trust me

that I know how to

keep danger as far away

from you and this kingdom

as is humanly possible.

Do you understand?

It was until last night

that I realized

that my methods may have

at times seemed

strict or unfair or...

Does this mean I can have

more time to myself

without having half the royal

guard over my shoulder?

Well, this means I'm willing

to reconsider those methods.

But I make no promises.

I can work with that.

Well, I should go.

I have a lot of

princessing up to do.

You're right, Arianna.

Teenagers are a

whole new frontier.

How are ya?

Oh, come on!

What is going on with rapunzel?

I mean, is it something I did?

Probably.

And since when did she

start keeping secrets from me?

Hey, fitzherbert, I need to get

this done before the coronation,

so do you mind throwing your

pity party someplace else?

Look, Cassandra,

I know you don't

like me for rapunzel...

Oh, that's not true.

I don't like you for anyone.

I just want what's best for her.

You don't say!

Of course!

I want her to feel safe.

I want her to be taken care of

and I want her to be happy here.

Funny, you seem to have

a pretty good handle

on the things you want.

Oh, don't you start.

Hi, honey.

Oh, hi mom.

You left so quickly

after breakfast I...

I didn't have a chance

to give this to you.

I know it's a little early

for a coronation gift but...

I thought you might

like to see it now.

18th of July...

We embarked on a safari to the most

remote plains of the third continent.

21st of may...

Had to take shelter

in a hidden cave

to escape the fury

of a violent storm.

12th of April...

Helped villagers rebuild

their war torn homes.

Mom, is this yours?

Did you actually do all this?

Rapunzel,

before I met your father,

I was so much like you.

I had no idea what I was

supposed to have in this world.

So I went out and

found my own way.

You're father is right

about one thing,

you will be queen someday,

but only you get to decide

what kind of queen you'll be.

And no one can tell you the

best way to make that decision.

But how can I if...
