THANK YOU FOR THE KIND OFFER...
...BUT I'LL GO IN WITH PRINCESS MARGUERITE. PLEASE GO ON AHEAD.
ARE YOU AFRAID YOU MIGHT RUN INTO DANGER? IN THE ASTRIDS' GARDEN?
OH, YOU THINK SO? BUT THIS IS THE ROYAL PALACE.
NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT.
THEN WHY WON'T YOU GO IN WITH US?
WHAT ARE YOU SO WORRIED ABOUT?
LET'S GO, MS. LIBERTY.
WE'LL PROTECT YOU IF SOMETHING HAPPENS.
THE ASTRID'S GARDEN IS SAFE.
HMM? WHY DID YOU STOP? KEEP GOING.
I THINK I’VE SEEN ENOUGH.
I’LL GO BACK NOW.
I DON’T THINK SO.
YOU’LL GO IN FURTHER.
THIS IS NOT A SUGGESTION.
I KNOW YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO ORDER ME AROUND.
I MAY BE A COMMONER, BUT I AM STILL A GUEST OF THE ROYAL FAMILY.
SO WHAT, YOU'LL GO TELL ON US?
TO WHOM? FOR WHAT?
DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO WE ARE?
LET'S NOT WASTE ANY MORE TIME BICKERING HERE.
THERE'S A LOT TO SEE IN THIS MAZE. WE PERSONALLY TOOK THE TROUBLE TO GUIDE YOU.
THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR WEARING A GOWN LIKE THAT.
WERE YOU HOPING TO TAKE THE CHANCE TO SEDUCE SOME FOOLISH NOBLE?
I KNOW ALL TOO WELL THAT YOU CANNOT WIN...
...AGAINST A CROWD INTENT ON TORMENTING YOU OUT OF SPITE.
THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS REMOVE YOURSELF FROM THE SITUATION.
PLEASE STEP ASIDE. I'M GOING TO HEAD BACK NOW.
NO.
I KNOW THAT LOOK.
EYES FULL OF BITING SCORN.
WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU?
IF YOU AREN'T GOING TO MOVE, THEN I'LL JUST WALK AROUND YOU.
THAT RUDE LITTLE...!
SHE'S GOING TO GET IN MORE TROUBLE IF SHE GOES THAT WAY.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
I SAW SOME YOUNG LORDS ENTER THAT WAY.
I THINK THEY FOLLOWED US.
OH MY!
WELL, WE DIDN'T MEAN TO...
...BUT THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO SINCE SHE REJECTED OUR KINDNESS.
HOW FAR DID I COME IN? I CAN'T FIND THE WAY OUT...
I'M SURE THE REST OF THEM HAVE LEFT AS WELL...
SHOULD I JUST RETURN THE WAY I CAME?
MS. LIBERTY?
THERE'S MORE THAN ONE.
OH, MY.
YOU SEEM TO HAVE LOST YOUR WAY.
IT JUST SO HAPPENS I'VE BEEN WANTING TO MEET YOU. WHY DON'T YOU COME WITH US?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS, BUT I CAN FIND MY OWN WAY.
NOW, NOW. IT'S A GREAT PLACE FOR A LITTLE TALK. COME WITH US.
BARBARITY ISN'T A MATTER OF SOCIAL STATUS.
THEY HIDE IT AWAY IN FORMAL SETTINGS...
MS. LIBERTY!
WHERE ARE YOU?
...BUT IT POPS UP SO EASILY...
IN FRONT OF THOSE THEY DON'T NEED TO BE CIVIL TO.
SHE'S FAST.
LET'S JUST GIVE IT UP. SHE'S A GUEST OF THE ROYAL FAMILY, AFTER ALL.
WE'D GET INTO TROUBLE IF SHE SAYS SOMETHING.
WELL, NOAH DID WARN US TO STOP.
HEY... BUT IS IT OKAY TO JUST LEAVE HER THERE?
IT'S NOT LIKE WE FORCED HER TO RUN AWAY. WE JUST WANTED TO TALK.
THAT'S TRUE.
GASP
HAVE YOU SEEN MS. OLIVIA LIBERTY, BY ANY CHANCE?
I DON'T THINK I HAVE. WHAT ABOUT YOU TWO?
NOPE.
NOT A GLIMPSE.
I'M AFRAID WE HAVEN'T.
GO FIND MS. LIBERTY.
WHAT'S ALL THIS COMMOTION ABOUT?
Miss Liberty refuses to enter the Astrid garden with the group, saying she will enter with Princess Marguerite. She is insistently dragged into the maze, humiliated with insinuations about her dress and seducing nobles. When she wants to turn back, her way is blocked, she goes around them and escapes. She gets lost in the maze, encounters the young lords following her, and has to flee from them as well.
