He rescues the princess but after presenting her to lord farquad he realises that he loves her. In a frantic bid to stop Lord Farquad marrying Princess Fiona he breaks into the church they are marrying in and causes an uproar. Fiona reveals her true self as she turns into an ogre, and Lord Farquad is eaten by the dragon.


Restoration
