[Enter DUKE FREDERICK with Lords]
DUKE FREDERICK: Is it really possible that no one saw them leave? It can't be true-some of my men must have helped them or allowed them to escape.
FIRST LORD: I haven't heard of anyone who saw her leave. The ladies who served her saw her in bed, but early in the morning, they found her bed empty.
SECOND LORD: My lord, the rude clown, who you used to laugh at, is also missing. Hesperia, the princess's maid, said she secretly overheard your daughter and her cousin praising the young man who recently defeated the strong wrestler Charles. She thinks that wherever they've gone, that young man is likely with them.
DUKE FREDERICK: Send for his brother; bring that young man here. If he's not around, bring his brother to me; I'll make him find his brother. Do this quickly, and don't stop searching until you bring back these foolish runaways.
