Ext. Mountain - Day
They are training and getting stronger each day
Ella: Riley show them how to throw a knife (she hits all the targets)
Riley: I am the best!
Ella: I think you all have improved a lot. But you are lacking in one thing. Trust! Let's do a trust exercise. Riley stand there I will shoot the apple on top of your head
Riley: Over my dead body! I have vowed to stay alive to the end (Wayne laughs) What are you laughing at? You go and stand there
Wayne: Me?! But I? Someone go (nobody is willing)
Ella: You see, we all don't trust each other. The enemy doesn't need to divide and conquer. How will we protect each other in the battle
Girlie: I will do it. Just don't kill me because I will haunt you till the day you die
Dawn: Your arm is not yet fully healed. Let's forget it (she hits the apple)
Riley: Did she kill her?
Dawn: No! We all know how capable she is
Craig: Ella, the captain is calling for you
Riley: Not like this, we have to know if she trusts us. You go and stand there, somebody shoot an arrow
Ella: Will you let a blind man lead you? Before you question me, question your if you have what it takes to shoot an arrow. It's not always about the target but about the hand that is holding the weapon
Leo: She surely is good with words
Ella: Fine, I will stand there. Come on
Riley: Somebody want to do it?
Wayne: You do it since you called for it
Ella: What a pity, you don't even trust yourselves. Dawn you do it
Dawn: I am not a good archer. I will give it my all
He fires a shot and Ella catches it close to her throat
Leo: This is sick. She really caught it! A second late she could have died
Dawn: I am sorry
Girlie: Are you ok?
Ella: Sometimes all you need to do is focus and do some calculation. I am going, you guys keep training. Trust yourself and your weapons
Int. Eatery- Day
Ella is hanging there
Mercy: What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be out there like all the other girls
Ella: Nope, I won't go. Rather he will come seek me out himself. Can you do me a favor and give me a room to stay
Mercy: You can choose any room you want. From now you will be my niece who has come to keep me company
Ally: I think you have a shot. I went to spy at the palace. Many girls were rejected, most of them came out crying and some fainted. You won't believe it, the seller also went to try her luck
Mercy: That old hag. Where did she get the courage to go and embarrass herself
Ella: I will take a room upstairs. I need to rest
Mercy: Eat something first then rest later
Immediately the seller walks in. Mrs Rose stops eating and looks at her
Ally: Look at her, she is still dolled up
Mrs Rose: Is that you Kate's mother? The woman who has never been married but has a child
Seller: Mrs Rose. Husband bully
Mrs Rose: You look so dolled up rumor has it you wanted to marry the prince who is as old as your daughter
Seller: I am here to eat my lunch in peace. Not get insulted by you. Mind your own business woman
Mrs Rose: I have to give it to you, you surely have the guts. Then again, you earn a living by selling and putting yourself out there. After all you do not have a husband
Seller: The one I pity is your husband. He must have been a traitor in his previous life. He is stuck with a cow like you
They are watching from afar
Ella: Who is the other woman
Ally: Mrs Rose, she is filthy rich and very intitled
Ella: I heard that name from Junior. So she is the one who gave him a hard time and bullied him
Ally: Yes
Ella: Then I think it's time for her to give a donation. She should be glad I will allow her to keep her life
The seller stands up and gives Mrs Rose a hot slap
Seller: I have had enough of you
Mrs Rose: You, you dare to...
She throws a slap, Mercy catches it midair
Mercy: Ladies! I think you should take this outside. Let's not disturb my costumers
Mrs Rose: It is not over. I will deal with you
Seller: Bring it on. I am not your husband and you will not bully me
Ext. Market - Night
It's in the evening, Ella is taking walk. The king is coming and everyone is clearing
Ella: What is going on?
Mike: You! How dare you pass before the king
Ella: What? I am sorry, I didn't know. I was wrong
Mike: Guards! Take her, she has committed a crime
Ella: Let go, I was unaware. How dare I do that
The king takes a look at her and he is captivated
King Lion: Let her be, she will learn from this mistake. Look at me
Ella: How dare I look at your graceful face (after a while she lifts her head) {his face, his aura, I am getting the shivers. I am scared}
King Lion: What is your name?
Ella: (tensed) Ella, I don't think I remember my last name
King Lion: What an interesting name.Am I that intimidating?
Ella: (gets on her knees) I am overwhelmed by your graceful aura. May you always be blessed
King Lion: Stand up. You should come to the palace sometimes
Ella: {I don't think I want to} What?
Mike: It's an honor for a commoner like you. Thank your highness
King Lion: Don't scare her. She already looks petrified
Ella: I am grateful for you kindness
Mike: {looks like he has taken a liking to her or else she could be locked in jail right now}
