Act 1
(Beginning of the village)
 
Julius would be wheeled in on a horse and buggy with two knights helping him off as Julius looks around
Guard #1: your destination my lord
Guard #1 would bow facing prince Julius
Julius: no need to bow to me
Julius would chuckle
Julius: I’m just here for the lovely marriage between me and the her majesty princess Danielle no need to be formal with me but to the princess lady’s first you know?
Guard #1: my apologies my lord
Guard #1 would rise up and stand up straight
Guard #1 and #2 would then continue to help escort prince Julius down the stage while Bennett runs down the stage to great Julius his long distant friend who he’s only ever seen 1 or every 2 years
Bennett: Julius my dear friend how are you!
Guard #1 and #2 would then hold Guard while prince Julius stepped forward
Bennett: it’s been awhile hasn’t it? I’ve missed you quite a bit while you where gone
Julius: I’ve missed you too old friend it has indeed been a while sense I’ve seen your sword smithing! And if I may ask how’s that coming along? In your recent letter you sent I herd you are a apprentice now am I correct?
Bennett: yes I have indeed and I’ve been really enjoying it thank you for asking! But May I ask you something?
Julius: why of course you don’t even have to ask
Bennett: I herd your being engaged is my assumption correct?
Julius: indeed it is old friend! But I’m not being engaged to just anyone you know. I’m being engaged to the one and only princess Danielle my friend!
Bennett: like the majesty princess Danielle from this kingdom?
Julius would nod politely
Julius: I certainly am!
Petra should then run up to both Bennet and Julius with a bouquet of fresh flowers in one hand and freshly baked bread in the other the when she reached exactly 2 feet behind Bennet she would point her finger at Julius
Petra: so you’re the prince that big brother Bennett was telling me about!
Julius would then kneel down to Petra’s hight
Julius: indeed I am little one and who may you be?
Petra (talking fast and excitedly): I’m Petra fletcher a proud villager and daughter of the fletcher family and I’m filled with a lot of delight to meet you almighty prince!
Petra would then try and catch her breath now holding out the flowers and bread
Petra(talking while catching her breath but still excited): I picked you some flowers from outside the village and baked you some bread this morning while waiting for your arrival all mighty prince!
Petra would then hand the flowers and bread over to Julius
Julius: well thank you for this lovely gift Petra how sweet of you it was to do this
Petra would then hesitate and bow griping onto her apron
Petra: what a delightful moment it was to meet you all mighty prince!
Bennett would then grab onto Petra’s shoulder
Bennett: why don’t you go back to the sword smith shop with mother and father would that be alright?
Petra would prepare to speak but Julius would interrupt
Julius: no that’s alright she doesn’t have to I have to continue making my way to the castle anyway but I do have to say it was lovely meeting you young Petra

Lola(confused): D-Don’t you think I’m a demon?
Julius would shake his head no
Julius: not at all intact I think it’s beautiful how did you do it?
Lola calms down a bit while Julius pats his hand on the empty space on the bench signaling Lola to sit
Julius: come take a seat I’d love to hear!
