A gaunt Michelle attends a party thrown by the prince, but what awaits her there is the calling off of her engagement and the termination of her role as head saint. When she hears the news, she shouts with joy in front of the smug prince! However, the king, concerned for the future of the country, tries to keep Michelle from leaving by ordering her to marry a man infamously known as "the lecherous marquess."
