At the Masquerade Ball, Danielle shows up in an angel costume and is embarrassed in front of everyone by her stepmother. Henry sends her away while she's running, she loses her glass slipper and Leonardo Da Vinci finds it and tells Henry that she is his true love and leaves her shoe with him. Danielle is sold to Pierre Le Pieu after trading her for all the things missing from the house (tapestries, candlesticks, books, etc). Henry goes to rescue Danielle and he puts the shoe on her. Danielle & Henry get married. Danielle's stepmother & evil stepsister are almost sent to the Americas because they had lied to the Queen of France. Danielle speaks for them after bowing to Danielle and they have to work. Da Vinci painted the portrait of Danielle as a wedding gift. They all live happily ever after.

Revealing mistake: Just before Marguerite tastes the chocolate Henry gives her, in the shot of the group walking past a pen of geese, the modern, flat, white soled shoes (likely canvas sneakers) the sisters are wearing are visible as they walk. (00:51:00)
[After pelting the 'horse thief' with many apples.]
Danielle: Forgive me, Your Highness, I did not see you.
Henry: Your aim would suggest otherwise.
Trivia: When Danielle is with Gustave in his painter's studio, just as Gustave says, "Five days in the stocks," there's a painting of a noblewoman on the easel beside them; the noblewoman left her gown and jewelry at the studio for the painter to consult while completing her portrait, and it is that noblewoman's gown Danielle borrows to impersonate a courtier. Then, while Danielle is at the royal court quoting Utopia to Henry, right after she says, "but that you first make thieves and then punish them," in the next shot, the older noblewoman at the center is the one from the portrait; she's played by Amanda Walker, the wife of Patrick Godfrey who plays Leonardo, also in this scene. Amanda was to have a line in this scene (in the goldenrod script version), commenting on Danielle's gown being identical to her own, but that line was cut. (00:21:45 - 00:29:20)
