One tiny problem, soon would arise...
Richard, a nearby king of wealth and stature.
He watched Madalena, lust in his eyes...
And, he asked her for her hand...
Well more like a demand...
Well more like had his henchmen snatch her!
— Galavant
Galavant: So you and Madalena have never sealed the deal?
Richard: No, she always made excuses.
Galavant: And you didn't... insist?
Richard: [offended] I'm not an animal. I mean, sure, I'll kidnap a woman and force her to marry me, but after that, I'm all about a woman's rights. I'm a modern, 13th-century man.
Richard: No, she always made excuses.

She'll scream and try to run,
But there's nowhere she can hide
When a crazy cyborg wants to make you
His robot bride!

When a crazy cyborg wants to make you
