ing. We will fly together, if you will. But I can't, I am too old. They would overtake us. They would seize us
Prince. With you, yes—I will go with you! If what you say is true, I cannot leave you with these villains. But I know that you are deceiving me. Come! When you can no longer walk, I will carry you in my arms. I am strong, I never am afraid.
Old Woman. Yes, yes! We will save ourselves together.
Prince. But are you speaking the truth? Are you not really what you seem? Are you only a poor woman, and no fairy?
Old Woman. No, no! Come on! Come quickly! Believe what you like—only believe! Yes, I am a fairy, a good fairy, who is saving you… What more do you ask if I save you?
Prince. I know well that you must save me! I know well that I shall meet you at last. Princess mine!
They go out together.
