In order to prevent tragedy from befalling those around her, Elise makes a difficult decision. She summons her courage and tells Emperor Minchester, but he doesn't immediately accept her resolve. Instead, he offers her a wager with her future on the line.
Were you not the one who wished most 
ardently for your engagement to my son?
ألستِ من تمنّت بشدّة أن تتمّ خطبتك لابني؟
War die Verlobung mit meinem Sohn nicht
dein eigener innigster Wunsch?
¿No deseabas con todo tu ser
comprometerte con mi hijo?
¿No deseabas con todo tu ser
comprometerte con mi hijo?
C’est pourtant toi qui avais réclamé
Non eri forse tu a desiderare ardentemente
di fidanzarti con mio figlio?
Quem desejava fortemente
pelo casamento era você, não?
Ведь ты жаждала этой свадьбы
больше, чем кто-либо другой.
