- Where am I? How did I get here? This must be a dream to wake up and be surrounded by people who treat you like royalty, but I am very much awake. I have so many questions that need so many answers, but In the meantime, there is no sense in worrying about it. I will enjoy myself until then.
- He looks so sad.
- Well who wouldn’t be, after going through this?
- Me.
- *Done Playing and singing Music*
- Go and say something to him.
- Would you like for them to sing again?
- No, I don’t want any more singing.
- You looked surprised, I thought you would enjoy a little entertainment.
- How can I enjoy their music, when the only music I am used to hearing is the sound of military marching?
- Your Highness, let me be the first to give you my respects and show honor by kissing your hand.
- Clothold, what is going on? Why are you showing me so much respect when you mistreated me in prison?
- I know all of this must be confusing to you. Let me explain your reason for being here. My Lord, you are the Crown Prince of Poland. You were imprisoned because your fate was destined to destroy this kingdom. You were put to sleep and brought to this palace to see if your fate has changed. Your father, the kind my lord, will be here shortly to tell you the rest.
- You are evil, you have no morals, and you are a traitor! You betrayed your land by locking me up and keeping me from my rightful throne. Now that I know my true identity I can claim what is mine.
- For I am truly sorry.
- You have broken the law, and you were a cruel jailer to me; for this, you must pay for your actions to be put to death.
- My Lord!
- Stay right there. For anyone who tries to stop me will receive the same sentence as Clothhold.
- flee; Clothhold!
- Poor Sigismundyou let your pride get the best of you not even realizing that this is all a dream.
- Beware that…..
- Out of my way!
- He was obeying his King.
- The King had no right to lock me away.
- It was not Clothhold's right to decide if the King’s decision was fair.
- Keep talking, you are asking for it.
- This is right. What Clothhold did was wrong.
- Who gave you permission to speak?
- I gave myself permission.
- Who are you?
- Nobody of importance.
- You are the only person in this room who seems to please.
- My Lord, it is my job to please all princes.
- Today is a good day for you to take the throne and claim yourself as Poland’s Prince
- God keep you.
- Because you don’t know who I am, let me introduce myself. My name is Asitulf, Duke of Muscovy, we are cousins and must treat each other as equals.
- I have greeted you respectfully, maybe next time I will not speak to you at all.
- Please forgive your highness he was not raised to our customs.
- Why is he talking to me in that tone?
- He is titled.
- I’m more entitled!
- You both are princes and both should be greeted the same.
- Who asks your opinion anyway?
- Your highness, welcome to the royal. I am grateful and it is an honor to be in your presence.
- Tell me who is this beautiful Goddess that stands before me?
- She is, my Lord, your cousin Stella.
- Stella, the pleasure is all mine. It is an honor to have such beauty standing before me.
- Your highness thank you for such kind gestures.
- I must put a stop to this. I can feel how tense Aistulf is.
- Lord, you must be careful how you speak to the Princess, and Asitulf is….
- Didn’t I tell you to stay out of my way?
- I’m only saying what is right.
- All your talking annoys me and you seem to disapprove of everything I say.
- My Lord, weren’t you the one who said that we should follow the rules of the law.
- You also heard me say that I’d throw anyone who was annoyed off that balcony.
- You cannot treat me this way.
- Oh no? So help me God, I’ll test that theory!
- I can’t believe what I just saw!
- Help, everyone!
- Did you see how he dropped from the balcony to the sea below? By God, the test succeeded!
- Your highness you should make wise decisions of that which a man would make and not that of a beast. It would be good to separate your living on the mountainside from your living here in the palace.
- It would be wise for you to stop talking before you find yourself without a head to put that hat upon.
