Answer:

None.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the very end of Act II, in the Merchant of Venice by Shakespeare, it is in fact the Prince of Arragon who actually arrives in Belmont to decide his luck and find out if he indeed manages to choose the right casket that would give him the benefit to marry Portia. He does not choose the right casket and, as Shakespeare writes, “with one fool´s head I came to woo, but I go away with two” (Act II, Scene IX).
