Tangled: Before Ever After2017

King Fredric:
So I'm trying to understand this. You snuck out last night, went beyond the walls of Corona where you touched a mysterious rock that somehow caused your hair to return?

Rapunzel:
Yes.

King Fredric:
And you acted alone?

Rapunzel:
Look, I know you're angry. But can't you see? I'm okay. I'm more than okay.

King Fredric:
Rapunzel...There's something I need to tell you: I love you. The night you were taken, a part of me died; the best part of me. For eighteen long, agonizing years I swore that if somehow, someway by some miracle, the Fates decided to show mercy and return you to me, I would never let anything happen to you again. And now that this has returned, the very reason you were snatched away from me in the first place, I'm afraid I'm left with no choice, Sweetheart. As of tonight I am forced to exercise my martial right as king to forbid you from leaving the walls of this kingdom without my consent.

Rapunzel:
Father!

King Fredric:
And know this: This is the last we will speak of mystical rocks or magic of any kind. To anyone. Is that understood?

Rapunzel:
There is so much more to me than you think.
