Lady Augusta : [Reading from a scroll to the Boy King] We beg leave to point out this abduction is to save the Majesty and this nation from an evil cabinet. When His Majesty learns, this movement is for the safety of this nation so wisely governed by his late father, King Peter the First. We feel certain, with this Majesty's agreement, to our plan for national salvation. Sire, this document is signed by Paul Valdis.
King Peter II : Thank you. My father always had a great regard for Paul Valdis. Ladies and gentlemen, in these cramped quarters, we shall forego the usual formalities. You may all be seated. I shall be incognito.
