A few moments have passed and both Marcel and Lester are outside a mysterious room in the castle, bracing themselves to enter through the door.
"You ready?" Lester asked him.
"I guess?" Marcel answers with hesitation.
As he responds, Lester then opens the door of the room, revealing inside a very huge library with thousands of books, and a music room with various instruments.
Marcel was surprised by what the prince has presented to him.
"You said you were just going to let me read the Divine Comedy!"
"Well... You don't think this is better?"
"No, that's not what I meant. It's just... Wow!"
Marcel looks around the room.
"And it's a music room too?"
"Yeah, I used to take music lessons as a kid." Lester shared to Marcel.
"Well that's interesting. Can you still play something?" Marcel asked him.
Lester becomes hesitant at first but will eventually give in to his request.
"Sure. I can play a little piano."
Lester proceeds towards the piano.
He then places his fingers on the keys, and begins playing a little piece that he learned as a child.
Marcel becomes fascinated by Lester's talent.
"Wow. That sounds beautiful."
"Thank you."
Marcel continues to look around the huge library.
"Actually, I want to thank you as well. Apart from sharing this room of yours with me, you also saved my life."
"Well, you did save my life too. You didn't leave me alone at the forest."
The both of them begin smiling at each other.
Lester then begins playing another musical piece on the piano.
