Int. Prison - Night

Max visits his sister

Max: Oh little sister! What have you done, do you know that you are in huge trouble? You were very reckless

Monique: I know and I don't care. I am just hurt that I could kill that husband snatching bitch

Max: He was never your husband in the first place. Because of your obsession you have murderer your best friend in cold blood

Monique: Kate is dead?! It was not supposed to be her. It should have been that witch

Max: Instead of regretting and reflecting in your actions you are busy spitting poison. You are crazy, I should have locked you up at home. Then we won't be in this mess

Monique: They don't deserve to be happy and as long as I am alive I will never let them find peace

Max: I did warn you to listen but you didn't, now you will taste death before the people you loath

Monique: That's why I need you to help get out of here. I know that I am already doomed so let my soul have peace at least. I will go to the banquet and finish what I started

Max: Are you even listening to yourself right now

Monique: Yes, my senses are perfectly fine

Max: You don't even care about our parents feelings. What am I saying, you have always been selfish and cared only about what you wanted. Right now my mom is weeping still you are not bothered. You are surely a lost cause

He walks away leaving her screaming like crazy

Int. Palace - Night

The banquet is on and everybody is feasting having a good time

Cy: Where do you think you are going

Earl: I need to speak to the prince

Cy: This function is not for beggars. Where is your invitation?

Earl: I don't have one but please let me in. This is very important

Cy: I am sure you are not the only one who wants to meet him. So get lost from here before I use force

Walking towards the gathering is Dan and Ella

Dan: You look very wonderful tonight

Ella: Even you look good yourself. Now go along, my helper is waiting for me at the gate. I need to pick her up

Dan: Don't forget about me

She goes towards the gate and witnesses Cy taking Earl out

Early: Please I am begging you, at least give him a message to come to me

Cy: Aren't we ambitious. Who do you think you are to order me

Ella: Let him come in

Cy: But I am under strict orders

Ella: Then he will come in as my guest

Earl: Thank you very much

Amanda: I am finally here

Ella: Good, take this man. He is my guest I will come find you. I need to call Dan

Amanda: Sure

Among the crowds she searches for him and spots him

Ella: I am glad that I found you I ....

Dan: So am I, meet Mr and Mrs Ray

Mr Ray: It is my pleasure to meet you your highness

Ella: So am I. Please enjoy the party

Mrs Ray: You are truly blessed with beauty. May the both of you always be happy

Ella: Thank you. Now can I please steal him for a few minutes

Mrs Ray: We will excuse you love birds

Ella: Someone is here to see you

Dan: I hope it is important. Dad will not be happy if he can't find us

Ella: He is the one who wants to have a word with you

Earl: I will forever be greatful to your kindness my lady

Ella: Amanda follow me

They give them space to talk but on the way she goes back, hides and eavesdrop on the conversation

Earl: My name is Earl. I am your brother

Dan: You are surely mistaken. I don't have any other siblings

Earl: I am saying nothing but the truth. The man you call father is a murderer. He killed our parents, the former king and queen immediately after you were born. He then stole the crown and named himself the king, anyone who raised their voice were killed. That is why everyone is terrified of him and obeys. I was still a boy at the time, he had me taken to slave camps and since you were a newborn he raised you as his own. If you don't believe me there is a scroll at the library (runs away upon realizing someone is coming

Dan: What was that about

Ella: {It makes sense, I did think he resembled Dan, the king is surely a cruel man}

Ext. Market - Day

They are walking through

Amanda: Because of you I made precious memories. I will forever be greatful to you

Ella: I consider you a close friend of mine

Amanda: You should probably go home. We have been hanging out a lot I don't want the prince to think that I am stealing you away from him

Ella: Let him think whatever he wants. Tomorrow don't come to work, I am giving you a day off to spend with your family

Amanda: You are really a good person. That is why I have to be honest with you

Ella: You can tell me anything

Amanda: Just keep it to yourself or else the mad king might kill me. He is a very bad man, he hired me just to spy on you

Ella: Why, I am just a harmless girl. I won't kill his son

Amanda: Because he wants you to himself. He is even plotting to create a rift between you and the prince

Ella: What do you mean

Amanda: I think he is going to poison one of you. I caught him instructing some girl, he threatened to kill me and my family if I let it out

Ella: Oh no, I think I need to go home very soon. Thanks for telling me, I will keep this to myself. You have my word
