The Prince sees Clara and eagerly tries to convince her to marry him. He brags about his active lifestyle of hunting, fishing, rock climbing, and writing a manual on survival tactics. Clara remains uninterested, telling the Prince they could never be happy together as he enjoys physical activities while she prefers literature, music, and culture.
