But before she can say anything, the King calls for his two main soldiers ...and Binnie prepares to be forever banished. The King had already declared that she would no longer reside in his palace.

"Guards ...escort Binnie out of my palace! Take her to the place I spoke to you earlier about."  

Binnie glances back. She is no stranger to the whims of men, nor has she been often spared the agony of betrayal. This is no surprise.  It was just that ...that she had hoped things would be different. She cannot hold back the tears. What kind of king is this ...so different from his dad?  And what will become of her?

The king calls out, "As you know, Binnie, my dad was buried by the cottage at the lake. He had made this request before he died ...but, he hadn't made known his wishes for your continued life. I guess he left that up to my own wisdom ...that which God has given me. But, I think I know what his wishes would have been.  So, I have decided that you will live out the rest of your days, and I pray they will be years aplenty ...tending to the berry patches, the fragrant orchards, and the gardens surrounding my dad's gravesite. I believe it is there you will be most happy ...and it is there I believe my dad would have liked you to be."
