Later at night, Tyler paces into his room balcony, followed by Carrie, Kristin, and Jenna. Tyler plans to leave again, and not make another mistake.
"But Tyler, you can't just leave!" Carrie cried.
"Remember what happened last time?" Jenna asked.
"Where will you go?" Kristin added.
"It doesn't matter." Tyler replied. "I will not be auctioned off to some self centered show off!"
Suddenly, Josh enters.
"I hope you're talking about some other self centered show off. Because if not, this would just be awkward."
Jenna walks up to the man, keeping her ground.
"So, what exactly are your intentions with our Prince?"
Kristin steps in, attempting to back Josh away.
"You know he makes other princes cry without even trying!"
Josh starts to get terrified.
"So I've heard..."
Tyler chuckles, and steps in front of his maids.
"It's all right, ladies, I can handle him."
"We'll be right outside if you need anything."
Carrie takes Kristin and Jenna aside.
"Come on."
As they go outside, Carrie steps aside of Josh.
"Do you have a brother?"
Carrie leaves, and Josh is relieved.
"Whew! Alone at last."
"Save your breath, Prince Mali." Tyler said.
"Please, Prince. Obviously, I've offended you, which was not my intention. Whatever it is I've done, I humbly beg your forgiveness."
As Josh removes his turban and bows, Tyler sees something familiar.
"Wait a moment. Have we met before?"
"Uh..."
Josh quickly replaces his turban and turns away.
"That's impossible!"
"You remind me of someone I met in the marketplace."
"The marketplace?"
Josh puts his turban back on.
"Oh, I have servants who go to marketplace for me. Why, I even have servants who go to the marketplace for my servants. So it couldn't have been me you met."
"No, you couldn't be him." Tyler said.
Josh sees how beautiful Tyler looks as he admired him.
"Did I mention how beautiful you look tonight?"
Tyler walks closer to him.
"And rich, too. A fine prize for any prince to marry."
"Right." Josh said. "A prince like me."
Tyler becomes disgusted with his response.
"You're just like the rest of them, only after my fortune!"
"No. You're right!" Josh said. "You aren't just some prize to be won. You should be free to make your own choice. I'll go now."
Josh turns away and leaps over the balcony.
