Whenever she does meet up with him, she makes sure she is .
dressed like a courtier, so he doesn't think that she is a servant. They .
start to fall for each other and they spend more and more time together. In .
"Cinderella", the stepmother tries to make sure that one of her daughters is .
chosen for a wife by the prince at the ball. At first she tells Cinderella .

Marguerite when Danielle walks in. Henry, the prince, sees Danielle from .
