![]() But Anya's attention is not so much on the ballet itself, but on the Empress. Judging by the costumes and the scenery, it seemed that this ballet was retelling the story of Cinderella as interpreted through the dancing from the ballet actors and the harmonies from the band. *Eventually, after the opening choir, the Russian Ballet itself begins. She sees Marie sitting beside Sophie*Īnya: *like a prayer* Please let her remember me… *Anya gives Dimitri a very nervous look and takes the glasses, aiming them toward Marie. Sunlight: So that's the woman we've been wanting to see. Rae: Wow… The Dowager Empress Marie herself! Dimitri turns to Anya and gestures to the box seats to the left. All around them are people whispering, taken with Anya. *Everyone goes into the Opera Box and takes their seats. Shaking the spell her beauty has cast over him, he leaps to her side* He stares as she turns back and nods for him to join her. Anya is halfway up the grand staircase, when Dimitri finishes checking their coats and looks up at her. Anya takes his arm and they walk up the stairs together, while Linde accompanied Isaac and Loki alongside, and the rest followed close behind* Linde: I heard you had something to tell Anya, Dimitri?ĭimitri: Uh- How- How beautiful you look. They could see that the girls looked simply ravishing in their new clothes* Both of them wrapped in furred coats, Anya a blue one while Linde's was more of a Magenta color. *They turn to see Anya suddenly there, with Linde close behind her friend. We're going to go through with this as if nothing has changed. Johnny: Are you kidding? Princesses can marry anyone they see as a worthy husband. We’ve seen it happen before.ĭimitri: It doesn't matter my mind's made up. Vlad: *jaw drops open, he can't believe it* That means our Anya has found her family! We have found the heir to the Russian throne! And you… *he stops, suddenly gets it*ĭimitri: *finishing* Will walk out of her life forever.ĭimitri: Princesses don't marry kitchen boys. Logan: *eyes widen* You ARE telling the truth… I’m going to present it to the Dowager Empress as proof that Anya’s the real thing. Luckily, I managed to grab it and have been keeping it with me all these years. This thing disappeared years ago, how did you-ĭimitri: She dropped it while she was escaping. *eyes widen* “Her” music box! The last thing her grandmother gave to her before the siege. Logan: *takes the music box from Dimitri and inspects* It’s a music box. *pulls out the music box from his coat pocket* Logan: *still skeptical* I still don’t believe you.ĭimitri: Then maybe you‘ll believe this. You're the reason she survived the assault on the palace! Leo: But if you were the one who opened the wall…then that means…Īurora Rose: *finishing* You saved her life. Question is: Why should we think that you believe?ĭimitri: *sighs* Look… It may have started out as a con, I admit it, but… Now I know she's the Grand Duchess.ĭimitri: Because I was the boy - in the palace. Logan: Of course she is, we all believe that. If she thinks it's just a con…what would a con artist prove otherwise?ĭimitri: But she IS the Grand Duchess Anastasia, I swear! Leo: But we've come so far and done everything we could to prove she's the missing princess!īenny: But was it enough, Leo? Maybe Logan's right, the Empress won't give us a chance. And I think the Dowager Empress is sick and tired of having to sit and listen to all those phonies claiming to be her granddaughter. Johnny: Wait… *pause* You mean…the Empress would think Anya is just another actress? Why else would they bring Anya to her cousin, just to see if she's the real thing? Why else would Sophie say there have been others claiming they were Anastasia? Logan: The Dowager Empress is promising a reward of 10 million rubles to anyone who returns the Grand Duchess Anastasia to her. ![]() Leo: Reward money? *eyes Vlad and Dimitri suspiciously* What reward money? Logan: *turns to Rae* Open your eyes, Rae! Isn't it obvious? I was right from the start! Vlad and Dimitri don't really believe Anya is Anastasia, they're just doing this for the reward money! I overheard them talking about it before our little shopping spree! Rae: *gasps* Logan, how could you say that? Vlad: *misunderstanding* I know, I know, but… Dimitri, also done up, sits nearby*ĭimitri: We don't have anything to be nervous about. A very dapper Vladimir paces nervously on the steps. All the men were dressed in tuxedos, top hats, and capes while all the women were dressed in glittering gowns, some wearing fur scarves around their necks and matching hats, even expensive pairs of high-heeled shoes. ![]() *The evening of the Russian Ballet arrived, as the people of Paris climbed the Paris Opera House steps to enter, all but a few handfuls. ![]()
