[Ace is considering opening up the jar when the princess comes in. He watches the two women converse and then points at himself when talked to.]

Me? I mean... I can give you my clothes if that would be good? Pretend you're a witch and run away!

[Wait, why is he trying to help?! He tries to open the jar, but no go. An idea occurs to him though, and he smiles.]

I know! This here is a potent spell, but only a woman can open it! But the thing is, the one that opens it becomes a princess. [He offers the jar to Anya.] You're the only one here who could do it. If you turn into a princess, it will edit the memories of everyone who knows you, and you could always say you're the one the prince wants to marry!

[By all that is holy, please believe him.]
