Scene 2

Setting: Royal Palace Gardens in Crystaliana Castle. Enter Jazmine, Kaeda, and Amelia.

Amelia: Your Grace! I pray that thee shall not fret so. 'Tis not becoming for one so fair as

yourself.

Jazmine: I ask ye, would thy take comfort in the thought of ye Coming of Age Festival? Would thy not fret from worry, as I do now?

Kaeda: Alas, I would not for I would be as brave as a mother bear protecting her cubs. Why art thou fretting? Have ye not reason to be joyful?

Amelia: Alas my Grace! My Lady is right. Ye shalln't have no reason to worry. All will be well.

Jazmine: I thank ye Amelia, for thine offered comfort. As for ye, Kaeda, why does thou insist on mocking me? Haven't thou no other favorable sport to play?

Kaeda: Alas my dear friend I mockest you not. I see not why thou has decided to fret over such an important event. Do ye mock me? Make sport of my lack of beauty? Taunt me for the things you have that I do not?

Jazmine: I mockest you not. To say that I have more wealth than ye is nay but a lie. For does thine parents have as much wealth as I? Are ye parents not but wealthy to say they may be royal? I have not but a small fortune that was passed to me from my parents. And yet you complain as in misery and woe, to mocking me saying you are the less fortunate. As for beauty, my looks are nay but plain, but for ye, that may be considered beauty.

Amelia: My Grace, My Lady, please do not argue so. For both should be in high spirits for thy merry event. I prithee thee will settle differences, for look! Here comes her majesty, Queen Danielle!

Danielle enters.

Danielle: How now Jazmine? I pray that thee is well.

Jazmine: Aye that I am, my Queen.

Danielle: Am I not only thine Queen, but godmother, no mother as well? Come now, give your dear old mother a proper greeting.

Jazmine: Alas mother, that is not fair for thy to say, for your beauty rivals with that of Aphrodite. And your wisdom a rival of that of Chunda.

Danielle: My child, your words are sweet. But I am not worthy of such praise, for I am but a humble Queen and servant to my husband King Jeffrey, king of all Crystaliana.

Kaeda: How does thy Majesty fair, your highness?

Danielle: I fair well. Though I have fretted many a night, worrying for my King's well fair. But alas, I have not to worry. But it is not I who has fret so but my dear child Jazmine. I ask ye, be it so? Do thy child fret like a mother hen over her chicks?

Jazmine: Dear mother, have I not but a reason to fret? Am I not to be paraded around, fluffed, and polished so that a suitor shall look upon me in favor? So that my fate be destined for me so that the King gains more land? Aye, I love my King and Kingdom, but I ask ye, would it not be a more pleasurable choice but to wait for Cupid's arrow to strike, and ye find a true love? Is it not so?

Kaeda: That is why ye fret? I believed it to be a more tedious matter, as if ye where worrying about your puffy checks or swollen arse.

Jazmine: What does thou speaketh? Why should I fret over such a matter? Aren't I not as thin as a stick? Do ye now jest?

Kaeda: Of course not, my dear friend. But ye have found favor in Amelia's fruit pastries.

Amelia: Please my Lady do not praise me by mocking my Grace. My Queen is it not true that Lilith, Queen of Granolvia, is to come to thy festival? I ask ye, My Queen as a humble servant, if thy rumor was true, for it has been tossed about in the servants' quarters many a night.

Danielle: Aye that it is so, my dear servant, Amelia. Though Lilith is not thy best Queen of the Western Lands, she is still a favorable candidate, for only she has heard of the lands east of Crystal Mountain. Becoming in her favor can help thy expansion of Crystaliana, as well as the forming alias.

Kaeda: That vile thing, thou burr, she is nay but a serpent, a puppet if you will, to manipulate for her own greed.

Jazmine: Kaeda, speaketh not so, for if it were to be brought to Lilith's ears, ye would fret for thy own sake.

Kaeda: I fear not of thy witch, for me thinks that she shall strike against the King. I jest you not, for what I speaketh is thy truth. Rumor told, her sneaky servant, slinks through the palace walls, being an eye for his master. Ha! It shall be naught but a gloomy day when I turn nay but favorable eyes upon Lilith and her Kingdom.

Danielle: That, of course, is another matter. Come, my party, depart, for there is much to do for thy coming festival.

Jazmine: Aye, mother.

Amelia: Aye, Your Majesty.

Kaeda: Aye, Your Majesty.

Danielle, Jazmine, Kaeda, and Amelia exit.
