Back at the village, Star was waiting for her father to return when Dakota came to aske for her hand in marriage.
Star triedto say no politely.
"I really don't deserve you..." she started to say, but Dakota wouldn't listen.
He had backed her up against the door.
When Star reached for the doorknob, she opened the door and sent him flying down the steps into a giant puddle.
Later, Star heard Philippe whinnying outside her window
"where is father?" she said to the horse "did something happen to him?"
Star threw on her jacket and hopped onto philippe's back.
"take me to papa" she commanded
Philippe ran through the forest until he came to the dark nd uninviting Castle.
Star saw her fathers hat lying just inside the gate.
She tied Philippe to a post and fallowed the path up to the castle.
