(Everyone in the castle seems to be doing work in the living room until the door suddenly bursts open and Tristan comes over immediately. Its Roman and his guards)

Tristan: What do you think you're doing? You can't be breaking into our kingdom like this.

(And Roman gives him an evil smile)

Roman: I hate to burst your bubble, but this castle doesn't belong to you anymore.

Tristan: What?

Roman: You heard me.

Templar 2: Get out.

Tristan: No.

Templar: Get out now. Or we'll force you out.

Tristan: I'd like to see you try.

(the recruits grab out their swords and pointed it towards the templars)

Templar: You want it!? You got it! After them!

(Harper gets the king,queen,and everyone else out of the way by shielding his hand in front of them)

Harper: Quickly everyone! Move aside! Move aside!

(He uses his hand to touch them to move to the wall so they don't get hurt or killed he has both his hands out shielding everyone from side to side before the templars and recruits face off. A roaring voice comes out of nowhere.

ROMAN!!!

(Hilda comes over to Roman and the guards and the room goes silent. Its Roman's turn to talk)

Roman: Ah, Myn. Look like you decided to come on over.

Tristan: Hilda. Don't.

(She puts her hand at Tristan signaling him to stop)

Hilda: No more running. No more humiliation. You want to take me, fine. But leave the people of the castle and the village alone. This is between you and I. Leave everyone else out of it.

(Then Roman laughs)

Roman: You really don't get it, do you? Are you that stupid?

Hilda: what?

Roman: I'm here to claim the castle. You're not of any use to me.

(He shakes his head then goes over to Tristan)

Beatrix is it? What a lovely name for a young woman such as herself. Your little sister...she sure is something.

(He gives him an evil smile provoking Tristan)

Tristan: What did you do to my sister?

Roman: Let's just say I hid her away some place you will never see her.

Tristan: Answer me. I'm done with your games.

(He smiles then chuckles then he goes over to Hilda)

you see, Myn. This was somewhat about you. But this is now about Tristan and his family too.

Hilda: What do they have to do with our fight?

Roman: Everything. You see, I made all of you a promise that I would have you bow down to me someday. And that day has finally come. And as for Tristan and his family. I'm making Beatrix my wife. And since I will be king, I'm claiming all of the villages. Especially, Albion.

(He gives an evil cackle)

Which means, Tristan and his family won't be royalty anymore. And everything will be mine.

Hilda: You're insane.

Roman: Your father should've thought this through the minute he killed my father. How would he have ever known that the offspring of Ulysses Lahzar would make it to the top?

(He chuckles)

Oh. It's too late.

(He laughs mockingly at Hilda and Tristan tries to step in but Hilda stops him putting her whole hand out to him)

Hilda: Tristan...don't. If he wants to say something, let him. This is stupid.

Roman: You're not on point, Myn.

Hilda: (she gets irritated tired of his voice and tired of his games. She says in between her teeth in an angry way):

What do you want, Roman?

(He goes over and whispers in her ear)

Roman: Your life. In exchange of my father's death.

Hilda: Your father was a mad man. He was going to enslave the present people and future generations to come. There was no reasoning with your father. My father did what he did to protect the downtrodden from falling prey to the likes of slavery.

Roman: Even so. Now im living out my father's dream. And as of now, this is my castle.

Tristan: You're a jest. My sister would never marry you.

Roman: But she did. And now you're under my order now.

Hilda: You'll pay for this!

Roman: After them!

(They all begin to face off each other and start to sword fight with Harper still protecting the people by the wall then only two templars and Roman are left standing. And Roman shakes his head)

Roman: This isn't over.

Templar: You'll rue this day! Just you wait!

(They leave the castle and everyone stands there silent)

Hilda: Tristan. Are you ok?

Tristan: (he let's out a shaky breath) Yeah. (He lies) I don't have time for this I have a lot to do.

(He goes away from everyone else)

Hilda: Right. And he says I'm difficult to deal with...

(she shakes her head then she goes over to Harper who checks the workers)

Harper: Everyone alright?

(They all nod their heads in a scared panic way)

Don't worry. Everything will be okay. Just go back to your usual routines.

(They all do but they go slowly and with fear that was instilled in them from Roman and the templars)

Hilda: This is bad.

Harper: Yeah you're telling me.

Hilda: I've tried to talk to Tristan but so far, he won't listen.

Harper: I know. I'm sure we will figure it out.

Hilda: I don't know. They sounded serious but we mustn't give into their threats. But don't be so sure. They're very sneaky and evil.

(Cue into night time. Hilda is seen cooking dinner for the people of the castle in the kitchen. Then she smells something funny on the inside of the castle. She goes over to the door on the outside and opens it. She sees the curtains on fire on the other side)

Hilda: Shite!

(She runs out of the kitchen then the window breaks on purpose Hilda let's out a big scream taking cover. Its another fire in the hallway)

No,No,no!

(She goes over to the other side and she hears screams and coughing and smoke coming out of one of the rooms one of the voices screams

"Help me! Help me!"

Hilda: Can you open the door!?

Person: Ifs locked! Help! What do I do!?

Hilda: Fucking shite! Move away from the door!

(With a swift of her foot she kicks the door down from the top of the door knob. One,two, three when the door knob falls to the other side it goes open revealing Soloman. Tristan's man servant)

Soloman: The castle is on fire!

Hilda: What!?

Soloman: A lot of other people are trapped in their rooms! We have to help them!

Hilda: Go find help! Now! Go! I'll get the people!

(Soloman runs)

Hilda: I need to find Wenda and Wendell!

(She puts on her mask and puts her left arm over her mouth covering her from the smoke so it doesn't go into her lungs and she collapses she runs to the highest top of the tower and hangs on the door hard)

Wenda: Help!

Wendell: Someone help! We're trapped! The door is locked from the inside! Our whole room is on fire!

(Hilda kicks the door down with her foot and gets opens the door)

Hilda: Hurry! Go! Now! Head for the exit! Run!

(She points with her right hand where they must go. They do. Hilda goes to look for other screams for help)

Help us! Help us! We need help! We're trapped!

(She goes over to one of the servant headquarters, and hears their imploring. She kicks the door down and sees Gertrude and the group of girl servants. All of the girls who talked bad about her. She beckons them to get out of the room)

Hilda: Go now! Do you know where to go!? Go to the nearest emergency exit! Hurry!

Gertrude: Come on girls follow me!

(They all leave then Tristan catches up to her)

Tristan: Did you get most of the people out?

Hilda: Yeah! What about Harper your parents and the knights?

Tristan: Yeah they all made it out. Let's go!

(Both of them head to the emergency exit exiting out from the back door. They go out onto the small staircase and reach the blue door going from the back of it. Then they see a group of contenders right there. Some in tears and some staring at the castle on fire)

Person: What are we gonna do!? Where are we gonna live!?

(Harper goes up to them)

Harper: We're doing everything we can to take the fire out but the more we do it,the worst it gets.

Tristan: Come on. Both of you.

(Then they go to one of the knights fastly talking to the other knights and workers)

Co knight: Roight ye lot! Take out the buckets! Fill them with as much water as you can, take out the fire! Hurry up! We must hurry we don't have much time. The fire is quickly spreading!

Knight 6: But, captain! What about the damage!?

Co knight: Don't worry about that! Don't let the castle perish you understand!? Let's get going.

(Everyone works together to take out the fire. Then the gates open wide. Its Roman and his gang of Templars)

Roman: looks like the rats finally escaped out of their den!

Hilda: You fucking zealot!

Tristan: You're gonna pay!

Roman: (he laughs) I love how riled up you're getting! You'd do anything for your precious kingdom!? Look what you did! You let it perish! If only you heed my warning!

(Hilda gets out her throwing knives but Tristan stops her)

Tristan: No, Hilda. He will pay. But we can't fight him and his templars. We don't know how much is hiding behind the gates. Don't do anything irrational!

Hilda: They burnt down our castle Tristan! those zealots are going to fucking pay!

Tristan: They will. But not right now. Let's go.

(When they get to the gate it quickly closes off Harper,Hilda,Tristan,the knights, and Tristan's parents are able to get out but the rest of them is yelling. eager to escape. They hold onto the gate demanding to be let out. Hilda holds Wenda and Wendell's hands from the inside of the gates.

Wenda: You have to go! All of you!

Hilda: No! Not without you!

Wendell: Its too late. You have to leave us here, theres nothing you can do.

(The templars forcefully remove everyone from the gates and forcefully have them sit on the floor on their knees putting all their hands above their heads)

Roman: Is this what you wanted Tristan!? Now your people are powerless without you! Are you happy about that!?

Tristan: You'll pay for what you've done!

(One of the workers runs over to the gate and a templar comes and punches him and puts him to the ground kicking him hard he lays in a fetal position he let's out a groaning sound and somewhat of a cry)

I'll kill you for what you've done!

Roman: You brought this on yourself! All of you! Don't expect to sleep tonight!

Serving boy: Go! Run!

(He says with his hands over his head sitting on his knees and they leave and do as their told then they see Brad who beckons them to come on over)

Brad: Right this way! Its safer here!

(He leads them to an unknown building to be safe for the night then they sigh of relief)

Tristan: Thank you Brad! Really you're a lifesaver.

(Brad gives him a half smile and nods)

Brad: They're in here sire.

Tristan: What is this, Brad?

Harper: What are you doing?

Brad: Isn't it rather obvious?

Templar: It was so kind of you to lead me into this abandoned place you were gonna go to.

Hilda: You bloody bastards!

Brad: Whatd you say?

(He goes up to her and starts to put his hands on her neck choking her she puts her hands on his wrists trying to get him off her)

Templar: Now now Brad. Roman Lahzar taught you better than that. Let the poor sod go.

Brad does and Hilda is seen gasping for breath, Harper goes over to make sure she's okay

Tristan: How could you Brad!? Siding with us and teaming up with the templars!?

Brad: I was never on your side.

Tristan: Why? Why did you do this!?

Brad: Power. It's always about power. And besides, I wanted to keep the plan long enough to have them come here to find you.

Tristan: You bastard!

(Brad goes over to Tristan and punches him in the face then in the abdomen having him go down to the floor. And Brad looks down at him groaning in pain)

Brad: Pathetic.

(Templar goes over to him)

Templar: Enough, playtime. Let's head back to our castle.

Brad: As you wish.

(They go away and Brad follows him)

Hilda: Tristan.

(She goes over to him and puts both her hands on his shoulders hearing him be in searing pain)

guys, i don't know what to do,shall we get him to a doctor?

Knight: No. If were wanted by the castle, we might be wanted by the doctors too. They could rat on us.

Hilda: We have to do something! He looks like he's in pain.

Tristan: no.

(He says straining and tries to force himself to get up)

I'm good. Really.

(He says still holding his abdomen)

It looks like he cracked my rib bone or something. It kinda hurts.

Hilda: where are we going to stay for the night? We can't stay at the inn.

Leighton: Never thought I would say this, but come with me. All of you.

Knight 3: Where are we going?

Leighton; Just trust me.

(They all look at each other and follow her. Hilda goes over to Tristan and puts one hand under him and one hand over her shoulder helping him to the walk)

Hilda: Don't worry. We're almost there.

(Then they walk over to a manor house located a few blocks off the castle)

Leighton: We can stay here for the night.

(She grabs the keys and open the house door and everyone comes inside. So does Tristan and Hilda)

Leighton: Hilda, lay him on the couch. I think I know what to do.

Hilda: Ok.

(She puts him down still hurting) (Leighton grabs a thick cloth of ice and applies it to the wounded area trying to make the wound go numb he continues to lay down)

Leighton: If the wound doesn't go down in a few days, i insist he see a doctor.

Hilda: But how do we get around if they're after us...?

Leighton: We'll have to go in incognito I suppose.

(Tristan tries to talk despite the pain he is in)

Tristan: How do you know so much about healing, Leighton? Are you a doctor or something?

Leighton: I used to be an assistant nurse. Not the same as a doctor.

Hilda: What are you now to afford a place such as this?

Leighton: I work at the cathouse.

(Tristan goes shocked)

Tristan: What? Ow.

Hilda: really?

Leighton: Yeah. I work there. But none the less. We need to focus on Tristan healing. I'll take care of him but if he isn't better in a few days, he needs to see someone. That level is beyond my expertise.

Tristan: I still...can't believe Brad. He was one of my good friends. And now he turned his back on us...

Leighton: Yeah. It sucks. I know that all too well.

Hilda: We shouldn't talk about it now. Let's talk about it tomorrow. We'll have plenty of time to talk about what to do next.
