While waiting for the boy to act, she composed herself. Even if she felt uneasiness, she can sense Markus’ sincerity.

Markus:
(Knock! Knock!)

Giselle:
Who’s there?

Markus:
It’s Sander, your one and only Markus.

Giselle:
(She chuckled)
I know you are Markus.
The famous Markus.
What are you doing here?

Markus:
Your mom already gave me the consent to court you.

Giselle:
I do not believe you.

Markus:
Believe me, I know you would and you should
This prince is going to give you the world
And to love you forevermore.

Giselle:
Think of this thing
I won’t ever repeat it, so you must listen

Markus:
What is it? I am willing to listen.

Giselle:
You must know one thing about mine
I hate prince, for I am no princess at all.

Markus:
Then, what are you looking for?
A frog to kiss? (in a sarcastic way)

Giselle:
NO! A big big no!

Markus:
What? You must be kidding me.

Giselle:
I am not kidding
I have no time for jokes

Markus:
(He started to be furious, his eyebrows met as he gave a curious look)
Give me a clue on what you want me to do.

Giselle:
There’s nothing you can do.

Markus:
But, why?!

Giselle opened the door making Markus to be shocked at the very moment.

Giselle:
What I need is a knight to protect me,
An angel to cover my fears, not a devil
Or a man, being a great father to my children.

Her teardrops fell because she remembered her father. A father who did not become a decent one to her and to her mother. She then, closed the door.
