The four guards led Prince Hamtaro to the doorway of Princess Bijou's bedroom, but Pashmina was in the way of it. Prince Hamtaro bowed and said, "May I pass?" "Didn't you hear about Lord Mike and Lady Stella?" Pashmina asked. "Wha?" he questioned. "The tax collectors that are evil? What do they have to do with me meeting the princess and king?"
Sandy, Stan, Panda, and Cappy hit their heads with their paws as Pashmina told Prince Hamtaro the story. After she finished, Pashmina asked, "Did you think there was something wrong?" Prince Hamtaro nodded in reply. The guards looked at each other as Prince Hamtaro finally inquired, "May I see Princess Bijou?" "She," Pashmina replied, "doesn't want to see anyone other than me or Queen Caitlin until the king is back in the Ham-Ham Kingdom. You may talk to Queen Caitlin, though."
Prince Hamtaro nodded and replied, "I fancy to see Queen Caitlin." Pashmina nodded and called, "Howdy! Dexter!" Howdy and Dexter replied to Pashmina's voice like they were right next to her. "Yes?" the two servants asked in unison. "Take Prince Hamtaro to Queen Caitlin," Pashmina ordered. Howdy and Dexter nodded and said, "Come now, Prince Hamtaro."
Howdy and Dexter led him to the king and queen's bedroom. Queen Caitlin was inside the bedroom pacing and trying to figure out what to do. "Prince Hamtaro!" she shouted in terrified surprise. "I heard what happened already," he replied. "You have to stop those two tax collectors!" Queen Caitlin ordered. "Otherwise, the kingdom may be in jeapardy. And you'll never be able to marry Princess Bijou!"
Prince Hamtaro stopped breathing and gasped, "I can't even see her if King Boss is not back?" Queen Caitlin shook her head and replied, "She won't come out of her room. My daughter is so sensitive to this stuff, like her father. Except that's beside the point. Just restore the Ham-Ham Kingdom!" He nodded and said, "Where do you think they are?"
Queen Caitlin thought a minute and said, "The evil sorcerer, Spat-" "Spat Tower!" Prince Hamtaro shouted. "Thanks, Queen Caitlin." He bowed and ran out of the room. Prince Hamtaro ran to the drawbridge, but the portcullis was down again. Snoozer heard him and brought it up and let Prince Hamtaro pass through.
Prince Hamtaro jumped atop of Buttercup and yelled, "Buttercup! Go down the path now!" Buttercup started to race down the dirt trail. Prince Hamtaro could barely hold on as she stopped suddenly and pawed the air. Prince Hamtaro fell off of her when Buttercup's back legs went into the air. "Augh!" he yelled as he landed on his back. "Thanks," Prince Hamtaro retorted.
