He then takes some iocane powder, turns his back, and after a bit faces Vizzini once more. He does do so and tells Vizzini that they will have a battle of the wits, with the winner getting the princess, and the loser facing death. He blindfolds her at a rock slab, sets out some wine, points a dagger at her throat, and patiently waits for the man in black to make his appearance. The giant fails to do so as well, so Vizzini takes Buttercup to the top of the cliff. Unhappy with this, Vizzini tells Fezzik to kill him. The stranger defeats the swordsman and continues to follow them.
He tells Inigo to kill the man while they escape. Vizzini cuts the rope, but the stranger clings to the side of the cliff. The person driving the boat (a man in black attire and a mask) rushes up to follow. The three men carry her up with Fezzik climbing an old rope. Buttercup uses this opportunity to jump out of the boat and into the water with creatures known as the shrieking eels(which look like leviathans rather than modern day eels).īefore she could be eaten, she gets pulled back on board by the men, and is taken to a cliff to escape from the boat chasing them. Later, they are sailing through the night when they see a ship in the distance following them. The other two men don't seem keen on following this plan and an argument breaks out.
Vizzini, the band's leader, announces his plans to start a war with the neighboring country of Guilder by killing the princess and leaving her body on Guilder soil. When she awakes, she realizes she's now on a boat in the middle of the sea, kidnapped by the men, who she learns are names Vizzini, Inigo, and Fezzik. While out one day, she comes across three men claiming to be lost circus performers and, before she can do anything, is knocked unconscious.
While she does not like the idea of marrying her prince, she does still enjoy riding her horse. Although she does not love him and tells the prince so, Humperdinck pushes forward with the wedding, assuring her that he only wants to marry. In the end, she decides that, while she may live on, she will never love again.įive years later, Buttercup is forced to become betrothed to Prince Humperdinck. Devastated to learn this, Buttercup shuts herself away in her room for days without getting any sleep and food. When Westley goes away to find his fortune, his ship is attacked by the Dread Pirate Roberts, and the story gets back to Buttercup that her love has been killed by the pirate who never takes prisoners. Westley would not argue with her but would only obey her commands and reply "As you wish." Over time, she realizes that when Westley says "As you wish," he is really saying "I love you." In time, she realizes that she loves him just as strongly, as well. When Westley works on her family's farm, Buttercup refers to him only as "farm boy" and loves to order him around.
