She is passing by when she bumps into the king

King Lion: How come you are here, I thought I just heard you giggling with your husband

Ella: No, I was just with Amanda

King Lion: Then who spent the night with my son of not you

Ella: I don't think it's appropriate to talk about my marital life with my father in law. I will excuse myself

Agitated she walks towards the bedroom to a girl sleep next to Dan. The king also bargings in

King Lion: It looks like there is a fire in your house my dear daughter in law

Ella: I guess here things work different. You dare to enter our bedroom. You are the most high person, you should not be disturbed by the wrong things

King Lion: You must be so hurt. I can help you deal with the anguish you are feeling

Ella: That will not be need (wakes the girl up) Get out. If I see you again you will lose your head

She drags them both out of the room and closes the door. The king then pulls the girl over

King Lion: Take this as a reward, you did a great job. Slowly but surely I will separate them (walks away)

Dan: (still dizzy) What is going on?

Ella: You got drugged. Here, drink this it will wake you up

Dan: My head hurts, who was that girl

Ella: No one important. You need to take a rest

Dan: I swear I didn't do anything with her

Ella: I know

Int. Palace- Throne room- Day

The seller has come to please her case after the death of her daughter

Seller: My lord, I am here in the name of justice

King Lion: And what is this justice you speak of

Seller: You ask me yet you are aware. My daughter was murderered in cold blood

King Lion: I get it, it was a terrible accident. You shall be handsomely compensated for your lose

Seller: Money?! I am not here to place a price on her head. All I want is for the culprit to be punished

King Lion: It won't bring her back to life. At least with money you will never go hungry

Seller: You are right, but that girl walking around freely will be rubbing salt to my wounds

King Lion: Unfortunately there is nothing I can do for you. You just lost a daughter do you want another mother to lose hers?

Seller: You surely are a cruel man, just because of different status they get to walk away. I guess the law was created for only for the poor people. Had it been the other way around my baby would have been hanged

King Lion: Just go home and grief your daughter

Seller: You surely find comfort on the ruin of other people. I curse you, you will have a miserable ending (walks away)

King Lion: How dare she, I can have her killed for saying that. Ella! What are you doing here?

Ella: You really are a cruel man

King Lion: It runs in the family, like father like son. He dared to have an affair right in your bedroom. You should get a divorce lest people think you are only in it for power and status that you would bear the humiliation

Ella: So what, how is what people think any of my business

King Lion: You are a tough one. I find you fascinating

Mike: Your highness the carriage is ready

King Lion: Let's head out. You think about what I just said

Int. Eatery- Day

She was visited them

Mercy: I did warn you. It seems he wants to separate you

Ella: I am disgusted by him

Ally: You have become soft, I guess marriage changes people (smiles) had it been you a year ago you would have punched him in the teeth

Ella: I am feeling helpless. Putting an act everyday is exhausting. I miss the old me. Marriage has taken the fun out of everything

Ally: I still think you are the best. I like this you, at least you are not doing anything dangerous. I won't have to worry about you. The queen would have loved this version of you

Ella: I bet dad can't believe his eyes in the afterlife. Forget it, I want to get crazy and find the real me. Don't you know a place where we can have fun. I feel like punching

Mercy: There is a place for people like you who love violence. It's an underground fighting arena. I hate that place

Ella: You should have said so early. Ally let's go. I just need a disguise

Ext. Palace - Outdoor - Day

Max is with his friend

Dan: I am sorry, there is nothing I can do

Max: I know I am asking for too much. I don't know what went wrong with her. She did this to herself. How can one go mad that they would throw their life away this easily

Dan: I am sorry that it has come to this. Cheer up, let's go eat something

Max: I don't feel like eating. But I do know a place that can cheer me up. Let's go to an underground fighting arena

Dan: Since when do you like violence

Max: Let's just go, there are times I feel like punching someone but what to do I don't want to hurt my precious hand. So it's better to let someone do it for me. I heard that your old man will enter the ring

Dan: He is going to get himself killed someday

Max: If only I was a fighter. Letting all my rage out. By the way how is your wife doing? I hope she was not traumatized by my sister

Dan: She is coping, it's just that she tends to disappear these days

Max: I should personally apologize to her on behalf of my sister

Dan: She is a kind person, she must have forgotten it by now

Max: Alright. Shall we?

Dan: Let's go
