Maid Margaret : Happy birthday, Snow!

Snow White : You remembered!

Maid Margaret : Of course we remember, a girl’s 18th birthday is the most important birthday of them all. You want to know what I wish for your birthday, Snow White?

Snow White：You can't make a wish for me.

Maid Margaret: Do you know why I continue to work for that unpleasant queen year after year? I do it because I know that one day you are going to take back your kingdom. And I want to be here when that happens.

Snow White:It is not my kingdom.

Maid Margaret: Oh but it is. Your father meant for you to inherit his crown①(你的父亲想让你继承王位). But that woman has the entire kingdom convinced that you are a pathetic② girl, incapable¹ to leave the castle. And the worst is she had you think that you do. Your father's dagger²③.

I had it cleaned and polished.

SnowWhite： What I do with this?

Maid Margaret: Perhaps you have to see for yourself what's going on in your kingdom. The people don't sing and dance anymore. They need to see who you really are. And you need to believe.
