Legendary Ella

Int. Palace - Day

Many girls have come to try their luck in marrying the prince. Dan's eyes are searching and eagerly waiting for someone

Max: Don't worry, I am sure your girl will surely come

Dan: I don't know what you are talking about

Max: Isn't it obvious. You have fallen in love with a certain someone. Love at first sight

Dan: I guess so, my mind keeps thinking of her

Max: I guess now you know what I go through every time I see a pretty girl. I will surely have any concubines

Dan: Not for me. Having one is enough for me. Next

Max: (shocked) You middle aged woman, what are you doing here? If you are here who is selling the vegetables or are you here to deliver them? Then why are you dolled up

Seller: I am here to marry the prince ( the king and Max laugh)

Dan: Are you sure you want to marry me?

Seller: Yes! So that the women of this village can respect me. I am tired of being a dormat. It is time for them to bow down to be

Max: This is just so wrong, he is too young to be your husband. How dare you curse him by showing here. Somebody drag her out, what abomination is this

Seller: At least I tried

Max: Next

King Lion: (laughing) How shameless

Dan: What is your name?

Amanda: Amanda your highness

Dan: Why do you want to marry me?

Amanda: Because I think we deserve each other. Our status and beauty matches each other. I exist only for you

Dan: How shallow! You belong to yourself not anyone. You can go

Amanda: Why, did I say something wrong?

Kate: Good morning my lords

Max: Even you came. And here I thought you were best friends with my sister

King Lion: Both mother and daughter want to marry the same man

Kate: My mom was here? How dare she embarrass me. Is she crazy?

Dan: No respect at all. If you dare to insult the person who gave birth to you then what about me

Kate: I will love you until I die. I will respect you at all time. I swear

Dan: Get out

Kate: (like a mad woman) I can cook and clean. I can do all the chores. You can even marry as many concubines as you want. I will allow it. Just keep me with you

She notices a pipa, grabs it and play it wrongfully

Kate: I can even play this for you every night, so that you can sleep peacefully

Max: More like nightmares. That thing will surely summon all the negative energy and give Dan horrible sleep paralysis

Dan: Guards! Take her outside

Kate: No please. Give me a chance. Let me go, don't touch me

Outside everyone is quietly looking at her getting dragged out. She fixes her clothes and looks at them

Kate: What are you looking at? You will never be chosen

Amanda: It is very clear she has been painful rejected.

Kate: Get out of my way you orge

Amanda: How dare you?

Seller: My baby, you got rejected. Come, let me hug you

Kate: Let go, do you know how embarrassing it is that you came. You shouldn't be here

Monique: So are you. How dare you try your luck on the man that I like

Kate: Is he your husband?! No! Or else we won't be all here. Besides he will reject you, he doesn't and will never like you

Monique: You peasant! I treated you better and this is how you repay me

Kate: Cut it! You don't consider me a friend. I am just a puppet for your amusement

Seller: You girls need to quit it before you ruin your friendship. Let's go home

Amanda: In the face of pants even friendship is nothing. What happened to the sisterhood of a century

Monique: Step out of the way, I am going in

Amanda: But all these people came before you

Monique: I know and I don't care (walks in)

King Lion: Our little Monique had finally arrived

Dan: I will not marry you. I don't like you and I find you very annoying. It's time to wake up from your dream

King Lion: How dare you talk to her like that. She surely matches you better than anyone that I know. You practically grew up together and most importantly she adores you

Dan: So what? Am I supposed to marry her just because I know her

Monique: You will never find someone like me. I have given all my time and dedication to become the best bride for you. I learned all the classics and war strategies so that I can support and be of use to you. I learnt how to manage a household so that nothing ever bothers you. I even starved myself to look pretty for you. Do you know how many times I fainted? But I kept going so that I can be a perfect bride for you. And what do I get. A rejection?

King Lion: Come on son, surely you cannot let a good woman pass you by. Do you know how hard it is to find love

Dan: Dad, do not interfere. It is me who has to spend many years with her and not you. If I cannot tolerate her now what about in the next five or ten years?

Monique: I never thought you were this cruel. You will have to regret this moment (she goes out wiping her tears)

King Lion: I do agree with her. You just stabbed yourself in the stomach

Max: It had to be done sooner or later. I just hope she lets it go and move on with her life. She can't always gets what she wants

Outside Amanda is having a laugh at her

Amanda: It looks like even the Queen can't get what she wants. You got rejected. Now I am happily going home.
