The Princess And The Enemy
Chapter 1
-The Kingdom of Elarindale-
Morning sun filters through shattered windows.
The doors burst open as King Oliver strides in, armored and flanked by his soldiers.
King Edmund
*steps forward, furious*
Oliver! What is the meaning of this? You march upon our home like an enemy?
Queen Isabella
*stands beside him, voice trembling but firm*
We welcomed you as a friend. Our people trusted you.
King Oliver
*removes his helmet, revealing a cold, determined face*
Your kindness made you weak, Edmund. Your peace was a fantasy. This land—your land—was always meant to be more. And now, it will be mine.
Elizabeth
*steps forward, disbelief in her voice*
You were my godfather… I looked up to you. How could you betray us?
King Oliver
*softens, only slightly*
You were a child, Elizabeth. And I, a fool to think sentiment had a place in ruling. You will understand... in time.
King Edmund
*draws his sword*
If it’s power you want, you’ll have to take it from my dead hands.
King Oliver
*sighs*
So be it.
The Throne Room erupts into chaos. Royal guards rush in. Swords clash. King Edmund stands tall, defending his family.
King Edmund
*shouting over the noise*
Protect the Queen! Get Elizabeth out of here—NOW!
Queen Isabella
*grabs Elizabeth’s arm, urging her toward the side passage*
Come, my love. We must go!
Elizabeth
*pulls back*
No! I won't leave Father!
King Oliver
*stepping forward with his blade drawn*
There is no escape. Surrender, and I may spare her.
King Edmund
*roars in anger, clashing swords with Oliver*
You’ll not touch her!
The fight between Edmund and Oliver is brutal—Edmund is strong, but age and heartbreak weigh on him.
Oliver strikes him across the side. He stumbles but stands again.
Queen Isabella
*screams*
Edmund!
Elizabeth breaks free and tries to run to her father, but a soldier intercepts her and holds her back
King Oliver
*to his soldiers*
Take the girl. Kill the rest.
A guard raises his sword toward Queen Isabella.
She turns at the last moment, throwing herself at him with a dagger—she wounds him but is struck down.
Elizabeth
*shrieks*
Mother! No!
Edmund with a final cry launches himself at Oliver—he lands a heavy blow, but Oliver counters and drives his sword through Edmund's chest.
Silence falls for a moment. The king crumples. Elizabeth screams, the sound raw and heartbroken. Soldiers hold her back.
King Oliver
*steps over Edmund’s body, facing Elizabeth*
You were born a princess, Elizabeth. But from today, you are no more one.
