Scene 2
Narrator-Princess Emily was a little short for her age, but no one mentioned that. She had blonde hair that sparkled in the sunlight, and everyone mentioned that, especially because today was her birthday. Now everyone didn’t say bad things about her because they were afraid of her temper; they said good things because she was very nice. Her new Lady-in-Waiting Tiffany, who happened to be her new friend, helped her put-up her hair. Kaitlyn, the head chef who was also her friend, had brought up her favorite breakfast, eggs and bacon.
Emily-You guys are the best friends a princess ever had. You always know when it’s my birthday, but I am constantly forgetting yours.
Tiffany-Well, you’re the princess, everyone knows for weeks before when your birthday is. I’m just glad the baby didn’t come before your birthday, but its coming soon!
Emily-I’m glad too. I’d be sorry if you had to miss it. You know what, whenever I am with you guys I always forget who I am. I am always shocked when I walk out the door and realize I’m a princess. (They laugh, but stop with knock on door. Tiffany strides to the door while waving to Kaitlyn to hide.)
Guard-I’m am very sorry to interrupt, but the queen requires her daughter immediately. (Tiffany and Emily look at each other.)
Narrator-The Queen was very old. Her husband had already died from old age. The princess’s brother, Edward had become king, but then died in a hunting accident a couple months later. Princess Erin had given Edward three beautiful daughters, but no son. As there were no other male heirs, the Queen had become Queen again. Now it looked like her life might be at the end as well. Princess Emily hurried to her mother’s chambers, once inside she found her lying in bed, very ill.
Queen-Emily, I am about to die, but I need to tell you the truth about something. The night I had you, I also had another child, your twin. Somehow the wet nurse was able to slip away with your sister during the night and was never heard from again. I do not know what happened to her, but you have to either prove her death or her existence. You must do this to become the legitimate queen, as she was born first. (with those words she dies)
