Sitting quarters

First Prince Donghai (ML)

You called from me, father?

King Aiguo (ml’s dad)

Yes, indeed. please do come in and have a seat

First Prince Donghai (ML)

*Bow his head and walk further into the sitting quarters*

Queen Chen (ml’s mom)

* dramatic* Oh, my son, it’s been so long since the last time we spoke

First Prince Donghai (ML)

*Sit down across from them* we spoke this evening, mother

Queen Chen (ml’s mom)

* very dramatic* But it felt like ages!

King Aiguo (ml’s dad)

Chen, stop teasing the boy, we have so much to discuss. You can save the teasing for another time.

Queen Chen (ml’s mom)

Hush, now Aiguo! I can tease my children, however I please

King Aiguo (ml’s dad)

* nervous laughter* whatever you wish, my queen

Queen Chen (ml’s mom)

But, your father is right. we do have important matters to discuss that requires your undivided attention.

First Prince Donghai (ML)

And what is it that is needed of me

King Aiguo (ml’s dad)

We have just received word from the Emerald Empire, that they are willing to come to a mutual arrangement

First Prince Donghai (ML)

The Emerald Empire?

Queen Chen (ml’s mom)

Yes, and we have accepted their arrangement

First Prince Donghai (ML)

And what is this arrangement?

King Aiguo (ml’s dad)

* said with a smile* We have agreed to unite the kingdoms with a marital agreement!

First Prince Donghai (ML)

* stands up out of shock* A WHAT!

Queen Chen (ml’s mom)

It’s exactly as your father has said. You will be marrying the young prince of the Emerald Empire!

First Prince Donghai (ML)

This is ridiculous. I should’ve known better than to sit down in a meeting with the both of you. You have been trying to do this for years. set me up with some random-

King Aiguo (ml’s dad)

*Stands up and glaze at Donghai* what’s your tongue?

First Prince Donghai (ML)

….

King Aiguo (ml’s dad)

This marital agreement is for the better of both sides

Queen Chen (ml’s mom)

Your father is right. with their Territory surrounding the enchanted forest, we can use this arrangement to gain access to the medicinal herbs that are abundant in the forest.

Queen Chen (ml’s mom)

It is important for our people. you know that with the large majority of our people becoming ill with this unknown sickness-

First Prince Donghai (ML)

Then why can’t we just go there and burn their Empire to the ground we can easily take over that forest!

King Aiguo (ml’s dad)

*Said in a loud but stern* too many lives have been lost due to this war and now we have a chance to end this and gain benefits. This is for our people, no, not just for our people, but think about the people over there. think about how many lives have been lost!

First Prince Donghai (ML)

* lowers his head*

King Aiguo (ml’s dad)

* sad tone* Listen, Donghai, think about the people. we can’t lose anymore

Queen Chen (ml’s mom)

* sad tone* please son

First Prince Donghai (ML)

* sigh* I will do it, but only for the people

Queen Chen (ml’s mom)

* hugs him* we thank you
