Ella Enchanted Page #6

Ella of Frell. You gave me a gift.

Oh, yes. I remember you.

- The obedient one.

- I am so happy to see you.

I have been looking everywhere for you.

- I need you to take the gift back.

- Take it back? I don't think so.

It's not that I'm not grateful for the gift.

I am, really.

But because of the gift,

I'm about to do something horrible

to this guy I really like and might even love.

Girl, you out of your mind.

Everybody loves my gifts.

Lucinda! Lucinda, I am begging you.

I will do anything you ask.

Please take it back.

You don't like my gift? Fine.

Get rid of it yourself.

Don't blame me for your problems.

- Did I chain your butt up to this tree, huh?

- Well...

- Huh?

- But you...

No.

And, in fact, just to prove

what a gem I am... I'll unchain you.

What? No! No!

Aren't I fabulous?

Now, look at you. A pretty girl like you

should be at the ball.

- What?

- Go get down with the prince.

- No, I can't go!

- Well, not dressed like that.

Now, that's what I'm talking about.

OK, that hurt.

Give, give, give.

You're welcome.

Tell me about your sister.

Olive? Idiot.

- No, Ella.

- Oh.

I don't wanna talk about her.

She's so dreary.

- I just wanna talk about us.

- Us?

It sounds even more wonderful

when you say it.

Ow!

Something tells me

she just couldn't stay away.

- We need to talk.

- Char, please...

Please tell me

you never wanna see me again.

I will if you tell me that you don't love me.

- It's not that.

- Then why did you write me that letter?

Tell me how you really feel about me.

I love you. But I am wrong for you, Char.

I am wrong for the kingdom.

Is that what this is about?

Ella, that's crazy.

Come with me.

The hall of mirrors?

When I was little,

my father brought me in here.

He told me to look in the mirror

and see myself as a great leader.

Somehow, I never could.

And then you come along.

Ella, what's wrong?

I wish I could tell you.

I wish I could tell you everything.

These last few days have been so perfect.

Well, except for the bit

where we almost got eaten by ogres.

And you wrote me a letter

that ripped my heart out.

And I had to dance with Hattie.

But none of these things matter.

We're together now.

And when we're together, it's like magic.

- I never want it to end.

- I know, I know.

- And I feel the same, but...

- That's why I brought you here.

- Char, please listen to me.

- Ella, I know. You're scared.

I'm scared, too.

This is... this is a big step.

Ella...

Ella of Frell, will you marry me?

No, no, no, no, no!

- No?

- No.

I don't understand. What is it?

My politics? Your family?

Because those things aren't important.

What's important is what's in our hearts.

If our love is strong,

we can conquer anything.

I do love you, Char.

- Ella, come here.

- Don't argue. Just do it.

- Take that.

- Keep your mouth shut.

- Take those.

- Don't move.

On the stroke of midnight

you will take this dagger

and plunge it through his heart

and kill him.

What's inside you

is stronger than any spell.

You will no longer be obedient.

You will no longer be obedient!

I'm free. I can't believe it. I'm free.

You tried to kill me.

Guards!

- No, Char...

- Take her away.

No, Char, please.

Please, Char, wait. No, Char!

Char, please, wait.

I can explain! Please listen to me! Char!

No, please. No! No!

There's been a huge mistake.

Please.

Just listen. Please!

You realize, of course,

she'll have to be put to death immediately.

I just don't understand.

Maybe I should go and talk to her.

No. No, I forbid you to go down there.

Your Highness,

your uncle didn't want to frighten you,

but the secret police informed us

of a possible uprising.

Those ogres in the forest,

they were after you.

The girl was obviously part of the scheme.

The ogres never planned to hurt her.

She was just toying

with your emotions, Char,

so she could get close to you

and commit the murder herself.

I... I just don't believe it.

Yes. Yes, it does seem quite fantastic.

You let me worry about all this, hm?

You just concentrate

on tomorrow's coronation.

Sire, you know I've been working

with the Red Guard.

Why not call them in now and take over

the whole kingdom like we planned?

First we must find a way

to get rid of the prince.

And I think I have

a pretty good idea how to do it.

All right. We just have to find a way

to get past those guards.

Help! Please,

somebody get me out of here!

Benny? What's he doing here?

Ugh!

- Slannen, you've saved my life.

- Are you OK?

- I could kiss you.

- I think a nice thank-you note is enough.

I think Ella's in trouble.

Something to do with Edgar.

We have to find her.

Show me Ella.

Edgar's done this?

We've gotta go in there and stop him.

It'll take courage, bravery...

I was gonna ask you

how you'd like to be eaten,

but if it's Edgar you're after... count us in.

Welcome aboard.

Executioner coming through.

Enter.

- Help.

- I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Open up. I'm Miss Frell's

legal representation.

- Her what?

- Her lawyer, numbskull.

If the gauntlet doesn't fit,

you must acquit.

Now, open this door before I sue you

for everything you own.

Now, move it! Come on! Come on!

Thank you. Slannen of Pim is not an elf

easily drawn into a legal battle,

but when faced with a challenge

to equality, freedom and civil liberties,

this elf will draw the sword of justice.

And, furthermore...

Excuse me, what is going on here?

- Well, can we at least take him to go?

- Put the nice man down.

- Slannen?

- Ella?

Ella!

- Slannen!

- Oh, Ella!

- Benny!

- Are you OK?

I'm fine, but Char might not be.

Show me Edgar.

- That's Char's crown.

- He's poisoned it.

We gotta go. Come on. Come on, guys.

We got a coronation to crash.

People of Lamia.

Today is a very special day

for our kingdom.

For today you are here to witness

the crowning of a king.

Bring in the crown.

Drop that crown!

- Ella?

- Seize them!

It's payback time.

Charge!

Char!

Kill them, and anyone

who gets in your way.

Oh, my God!

No! No, no, no, no!

I can't believe I'm saving you,

after you tried to kill me.

I didn't try to kill you.

You get away from her!

- Take this!

- Hey!

That dagger you were about to plunge into

my back was an early wedding present?

Hello! Help!

Mandy! Help!

Fairies in kingdoms across the land,

please help me turn Benny

back into a man.

A pumpkin?

OK, maybe I did try to kill you,

but that wasn't me.

- What?

- Maybe it was me, but it wasn't my fault.

Then Edgar found out about the curse

and he ordered me to kill you.

So I had to break up with you,

even though I'm pretty sure that you're

the best thing that's ever happened to me.

That crown he's about to put

on your head, it's poisoned.

Duck.

Whoa.

- Edgar's trying to kill me?

- Yes. Hold on.

How vulgar!

Excuse me. Thank you.

Char, there's one more thing.

He killed your father.

What? That can't be true.

Well, of course it's not true.

Who are you gonna believe? This lying
