Dialogue

[The "birthmark" on Hildegard's foot is smudged, proving that it's fake]

Sebastian: Aha, ha, ha, ha! I was right! Hildegard is NOT your daughter, Heath!

Helsa: AH! The pig's out of the bag!

[Fearless pops out of his hiding place. Princess Daria and Hungry appeared as well]

Prince Rollo: Fearless? Princess, Hungry! But if you're here, then...

Sebastian: Heath, your daughter is...

Laird: ...RIGHT HERE!

[The camera pans to Laird above the crowd. Princess Daria is in her clutches]

Princess Daria: LET ME GO!

Prince Rollo: DARIA!

Laird: Take another step, and she goes over the side! [laughs evilly] Helsa and Hildegard! Come to me!

Helsa: [grabbing as much food as she can] I'm coming, I'm coming...

Laird: NOW!

[Helsa and Hildegard hurry]

King Heath: Hildegard... LAIRD! Where is your conscience?

Laird: You're so predictable! Blade! [throws a dagger to Blade, who flies to the chandelier above Prince Rollo, cutting the ropes that hold it up] Say goodbye to your "future son-in-law"!

King Heath: ROLLO!

[King Heath pushes Prince Rollo out of the way, diving under the falling chandelier himself - it crushes him, and he appears dead]

Laird: What a tragic accident! At this time of sorrow, I sadly proclaim myself king, and denounce this girl as an imposter!

King Heath: [slowly lifting his head] Wrong... again... brother!

Laird: Hmm? [whining] I WANT THE KINGDOM!

King Heath: [getting up] Let... my daughter... free!

Laird: [groaning in frustration] My reign was short but glorious. [takes off with Princess Daria]
