Part 4

PALACE COURTYARD

Intro: The Steward was staring at the sky while laying on a mat with Nicole the king's cousin.

(Dialogue between Nicole and Steward).

STEWARD: The stars are only proud at night, do you know why Nicole.

NICOLE: why?

STEWARD: Because darkness gave them light.

NICOLE: You and your theory, I wonder how you became the king's steward with your slippery tongue and sassy behavior.

STEWARD: (He chuckles) come here
(dragging Nicole closer to himself).

NICOLE: No! Please I don't want to smell your armpit, it stinks of sweat.

STEWARD: (He laugh out loud) I will treat you to what you despise most, come here, smell it.

NICOLE: (He screams) No!

(By the west side of the palace corridor, Queen Rebecca and King Martin walk together holding hands).

WEST SIDE OF THE PALACE

QUEEN REBECCA: (looking towards Nicole and Steward's direction).
Look at them, screaming and laughing together deeply like lovers.

KING MARTIN: Are you jealous of two grown men?

QUEEN REBECCA: why shouldn't I, I barely see you three times in a day, My Lord.

KING MARTIN: Work, love work, I have been tied down by work.

QUEEN REBECCA: (She stares and smile, looking at the direction of the Steward and Nicole).
Hm, I should head back to the Queen's quarter now, it's quite late. My Lord. (she bow swiftly).

KING MARTIN: Of course and I shall accompany you to your door step
(They both gave a soft smile and walk towards the Queen's quarter).

THE PALACE COURTYARD

STEWARD: You should have stayed in Charselander with your uncle Boyot.

NICOLE: I wish it was that easy, life in Charselander is not that easy compared to Northsay. You wouldn't know since you have the king's favor.

STEWARD: Are you saying the king favor a servant more than his blood.

NICOLE: well! I may be the king's cousin but he favors you more. Do you remember getting my fat pig the one I hunted?

STEWARD: oh! You hold grudges for a long time. That was just a despicable fat pig.

NICOLE: I think you are despicable (He chuckles).

STEWARD: (He try to grab Nicole towards his armpit) come here.

NICOLE: (He gets up quickly and run towards the palace second gate screaming with his boots off)
No!!!!!!

STEWARD: (The steward laugh as he watches him run).
