Crown and Clause Love or Legacy

Love or Legacy

At night, in Katya's room, rain taps on the window, everyone is quiet except them.....

Elita Volnova

(Enters the room without knocking)

Elita Volnova

You didn't say good night Katya, should I be concerned or replaced?

Ekaterina Katya

(Without looking up) Neither, I was thinking...

Elita Volnova

About the woman in the courtroom who looks at you like she wants to break the crown off you head?

Ekaterina Katya

(Calm) She's impressive, Direct, Rare

Elita Volnova

(Voice sharped) She's a threat to us

Ekaterina Katya

So am i

Elita moves closer, her tone somewhere between sarcastic and bitter

Elita Volnova

You let her speak to you like you're no one, you let her walk way without any consequences, that's not like you, Katya

Ekaterina Katya

She doesn't fear me

Elita Volnova

Neither do i

A beat of silence, they look at each other

Ekaterina Katya

You envy her

Elita Volnova

I don't, I pity you , she'll ruin you

Ekaterina Katya

(Voice low) And you wouldn't?

Elita Volnova

I would never make you choose between love and legacy, I know what you were born for, she doesn't

Ekaterina Katya

And what if I don't want to do, what I was born for anymore?

Elita Volnova

(Eyes low) Then let me be the one you fall in love with, not her

Ekaterina Katya

.........

Ekaterina Katya

leave

Elita Volnova

wht.....no

Ekaterina Katya

I said leave

Ekaterina Katya

lt's my order

Elita Volnova

fine.....but remember

Elita Volnova

if she ever breaks your heart I won't be here to pick up the pieces

Elita Volnova

(leaves)

Ekaterina Katya
