We tried to reason with her, Your Highness! But she said Miss Esther was going to be buried in the backyard of the Pizza Place!!
PRINCESS:
THIS WOMAN WAS A HEROIC FREEDOM FIGHTER WHO GAVE ALL SHE HAD FOR OUR FAIR TOWN AND ALL THAT WOMAN CAN SAY IS 'WE'LL BURY HER IN THE BACKYARD OF WHERE SHE WORKED?!?!
SERVANT #1:
That's what she said, your Highness!!!
PRINCESS:
This woman and Speedy Cerviche were both fantastic noble heros in their own right!! They WILL have proper funerals! YOU TELL THAT WOMAN SHE'S GOT THREE MORE HOURS TO COUGH UP THE BODY OR WE'LL TAKE IT FROM HER PERSONALLY AND HAVE HER REMOVED TO PRISONER'S ISLAND, ARE WE CLEAR?!
SERVANTS:
YES, YOR HIGHNESS!!

Good, now move it! (SERVANTS exit) Now, where are the Royal Guards? MEN! (ROYAL GUARDS enter and bow) How are our prisoners?
GUARD #1:
They're waiting for you to pass judgement, your Majesty.

Your Highness, with all due respect what WILL be their punishment?
PRINCESS:
They, all three, will be banished from this Palace..
SERVANT #3:
To Prisoner's Island?
PRINCESS:
No, Prisoner's Island is FAR too good for them!!! THOSE traitors will be forever banished far away, further away from Prisoner's Island to a dark desolate forest. EVERYTHING will be taken far away from them, they will have NO shelter, NO food, and b forbidden to leave! Either they must fend for themselves or perish! THAT is my judgement, no takebacks, I won't change my mind!!
