You won. Go, live in your palace and leave us in peace, "said Kari." You're no longer my problem, "said Jun." So that's me for you? Your problem? I did everything you asked me to do and yet you always refused to do what I always wanted, "said Kari." And that would be? ", Jun asked." What do you think? You are the only mother I have ever known. Was there ever a moment in your life, at least a minute, when you loved me a little? ", she asked." Who loves a pointy stone in his shoe? "said Jun coldly.At this answer Kari could only turn around and continue working. But then she saw all the things that had disappeared being brought back by Davis. "Everything is there Baroness and everything down to the last candlestick," said Davis to Jun. "What? You had sold the things to him? Said Kari" Yes, and now they are back. We can't be poor people when the prince gets here. "said Jun." I'm a businessman and not an idiot, "said Davis." I don't understand, "said Kari." It would be a mistake if you stayed here and turned the head of the king, "said Jun. "The Baroness and I have made an arrangement," said Davis. "You for all of these things, although I think I'll do better on this deal," Jun said in a nutshell. "NO," Kari yelled. But it did It was already too late, Davis dragged it into the carriage and drove it to Davis Palace. In the afternoon T. K. went to Jun's house to look for Kari.He probably wanted to win her back. There he met Sora alone. "Where is she?" He asked. "The Baroness?" She asked back. "Nic .....", he started, "Kari". "It has been sold, sir," said Sora. "Sold ?? To whom?" Asked the prince. "To Davis, Your Highness," she said. "Don't tell anyone that we talked to each other. Because in due time everything will be cleared up," he said. He got into the carriage and set off to look for Kari. At Davis in the palace "Oh, I hate to see you in these irons. I would take them off you if you promise not to run away again," he said when Kari came into the room with chains around her feet and hands. "I have no reason to stay," she said as he walked towards her. "You are mine now, Kari," he said. "I don't belong to anyone," she said stubbornly. "I once had a wonderful horse, stubborn just like you," he said when he was standing by her ear. "His will also had to be broken first," he continued."You will kindly keep your distance," she said as he sniffed her hair. "Oh, you didn't say PLEASE," he said. Then Kari took the sword from his belt, swung it around, cut his cheek and said. "PLEASE" "I could let you down for that," he said. "Not when you're dead," she replied. She pushed him onto the chair behind him, turned, grabbed a sword behind her and held it in front of his nose. "My father was an excellent fencer, he taught me well. And I swear by his grave that I will cut you open from nail to nose," she said. "Your freedom," he said and hesitantly handed her the key. At that moment the prince was just arriving downstairs in front of the door. She was just coming out the door when he was about to enter. "Hello," she said. "Hello," replied the prince. "What are you doing here, sir". "Well, I came to save you". "To save me? A commoner, sir". "Actually, I came to beg your pardon.I offered you the world and betrayed your trust during the first test. Please Kari "." Say that again "" I'm so sorry ". No, I mean the part with my name" "Kari". They laughed and then he took her shoe out of his pocket. “Would you help me to find out the owner of this shoe?” “Where did you get it?” She asked, staring at the shoe. "The shoe belongs to a peasant woman who only pretended to be a noblewoman to save a man's life," she said, turning around. "And my name is T.K., if you don't mind," he said and smiled. "I kneel before you not as a prince, but as a man who is in love. But I would feel like a king if you Kari de Yagami would become my wife. Everything she could say was very simple." YES "She sat down on a stone so TK could slip off her old shoe to put on the new one. It fit like a glove. They hugged and kissed passionately as always.Then they drove home. In the evening, Jun, Mimi and Sora were having dinner when the doorbell rang (they don't know anything about Kari yet, only Sora suspects something). "His very highest majesty, King Koli. Bring Baroness Jun and her daughters to an audience," said the prince's servant. "Oh, something is wrong," asked Jun. "No, Madame. The King asked that you appear appropriately dressed," he said. "Yes we will," she told us after we went to the royal palace after they had changed. In the palace, where the three of them just came into the room. "Baroness," began the king sternly. "Have you lied to the Queen of France or not," he continued. "Choose your words carefully, madam. Because it might be your last," said Jolei now.
"Hmmm ... A mother would do practically anything for the love of her daughter, your majesty," said Jun and only got a dirty look from Koli.

"Maybe I reacted a little exaggerated," said Jun."Mother, what have you done? Your Highness, as you can see I'm just a victim here. She lied to both of us and I'm ashamed that she belongs to our family.", Mimi shouted in doubt.

"You dare to turn against me you ungrateful piece," said Jun and pushed Mimi aside.

"You see? You see what I have to accept," Mimi continued to scream.

"Be silent! Both of you.", He shouted and then turned to Sora, who was standing very quietly the whole time.

"Are you always like this?" Asks Koli.

"Worse, your majesty," said Sora.

"Sora, darling. Did you thread this whole thing here," Jun asked.

"But no mother", she replied, "I'm only here for the good food".

"Baroness Jun. With immediate effect, your title as noblewoman will be revoked, you and your terrible daughter will be shipped to America on the first available ship. Unless somebody miraculously wants to speak for you," said Jolei sternly.

Jun and Mimi turned around once in the hope that someone would speak for them."I'll speak for you," said a voice and the whole audience crouched down because it was Kari who spoke for them.

"She's my stepmother, after all," she said.

The audience stood up again and Jun stared into Kari's eyes, noting that her stepdaughter, a princess, was standing in front of her. She knelt down in front of her.

"Your Highness," she said.

"Mimi, I think you haven't met my wife," said T.K to Mimi.

"You should know that from this day on I will forget you and never think of you again," said Kari.

"And how long can that be?" Asked Jun.

"I ask your Majesty," began Kari and looked at the queen, "to show her the same courtesy that she showed me."

Down with the servants of the royal family

Mimi and Jun had to work as a helper down there. The boss gave them the instructions.

"When you're done with the napkins, you start with the tablecloths and then bring these things over here," said the boss."Mimi, please," said Jun and ordered to do so.

"What do you mean", asked Mimi.

"Well, you heard that woman," said Jun in a commanding tone.

"YES what? You too, you are exactly the same as me, namely a nobody", Mimi almost shouted.

"You know what? You get on my nerves terribly," said the boss, then again and accidentally pushed the two of them into the basin where the dye for the things was in.

The other girls just laughed at them because they were bright red from these dyes. That was probably how the rest of her life went.
