SECOND COURIER. Here!
The King and the Princess look at each other. Then the King speaks.

FIRST COURIER. We came to tell you that she was missing from the caravan.
SECOND COURIER. We feared for her safety.
THE KING. Your fears were needless.
FIRST COURIER. They told us—
THE KING. Never mind what they told you. You have seen. And now leave us.
THE COURIERS. Yes, your majesty.
