 The royal proclamation on the castle gate wall reads: " All loyal  subjects of his Imperial Majesty are hereby notified by royal  proclamation that in regard to a certain glass slipper, it is upon  this day decreed that a quest be instituted throughout the length  and breadth of our domain. The sole and express purpose of said  quest is as follows to wit: That every single maiden in our beloved  Kingdom shall try upon her foot this aforementioned slipper of  glass, and should one be found whose foot shall properly fit said  slipper, such maiden will be acclaimed the subject of this search  and the one and only true love of his Royal Highness, our noble  Prince. And said Royal Highness will humbly request the hand of said  maiden in marriage to rule with him over all the Land as Royal  Princess and future Queen."
