Castile Manor - Home of the Crown Princess
Princess Edith: Cheers! To the biggest royal fuck up! This day couldn’t get any worst.
Margarite: Your royal highness.
Princess Edith: There it is. I spoke too soon.
Margarite: I know you said not to disturb you but the Queen and the Grand Duchess have just arrived. They want to speak to you immediately.
Princess Edith: Of course they do. Tell my mother and aunt I will be down in a minute.
Margarite: The Queen wants me to personally escort you to her right now your royal highness.
Princess Edith: The fun begins.
Queen Norah: I’m always nice.
PM: Of course dear sister. I forgot. It’s hard to notice since you’ve had a scowl on your face since we arrived.
QN: I don’t understand how she made such a stupid mistake. It’s nothing but mistakes with her Molly. How can she expect to be Queen? I can’t leave Alexandra to her. I don’t understand how she was doing everything perfectly and now I don’t even recognize her anymore.
PM: She’s young. She was in love. She wanted the perfect life.
QN: We do not get that Molly. She knows this. Her marriage was of political value. Nothing more and instead of putting this family and her country first, both of husband and her lover are dead. She has a baby that is only half of royal blood and her face is plastered on every news outlet as a “Black Widow.”
PM: It looks bad but we can recover. This will not break the Tudarles family. I’m sure she is just as upset. She is still in mourning and has to be there for Edin. Give her time.
QN: You used to speak with your mind and not your heart.
PM: You used to not be our mother.
QN: Molly! I am not...our...mother. She murdered someone. She is a criminal and so...are...you. I am tired of covering up all of this family’s mistakes and running this country.
Margarite: Your Majesty and your Royal Highness. I present to you Her Royal Highness Princess Edith.
Queen Norah: Thank you. You may all leave.
Princess Edith: Mother, Aunt.
Queen Norah: How could you do this Edith? I was fixing everything for you. What will our people say? How can you lead this country when I’m gone when I can’t trust you to be on your own for five minutes? Edith. Are you listening to me?
Edith: Yes of course mother.
Queen Norah: What are you looking at?
Kalvin Calvaho: Pay attention to your mother Edith. Let me go. Tell me goodbye. Don’t listen to the voices in your head. Listen to the people still in your life.
Princess Edith: Mother. I’m sorry. I haven’t been myself lately. I...see him everywhere.
PE: Kalvin. Tyler. I see them both. I hear them. Their ghosts are all around this place. I’m...I’m so sorry I put this family in danger. I don’t deserve to be here. I don’t deserve your love. I don’t deserve anyone’s love.
Queen Norah: Why didn’t you tell me this?
PE: I want to get better and be the daughter you want and deserve. I want to be perfect for you.
