Tangled: The Princess, The Thief and the Alchemist

Chapter 4 - The Last Scroll Piece

In the Dark Kingdom's dungeons, the Stabbington brothers are behind bars. They are not amused.

Hector smiles mischievously. He faced them. "Alright, which one of you wicked ruffians can speak to me?" Hector asked.

Eyepatch growls.

Sideburns was grumpy. "I'm not saying anything to you about our goal, you walking wolverine." He answered with protest.

Hector was amazed yet smirking. "At least, it's just the ruffian with sideburns can talk. This is gonna be so much fun here." He said.

King Edmund and Adira observed the ruffians with Hector. They are perplexed.

She faced the king with her frown. "This isn't how we deal with prisoners, your majesty." Adira complains.

King Edmund sighed. He was uncertain yet believing to be. "I know it's not part of the Brotherhood, Adira. Then, Hector was more concerned about the ancient scroll piece thing-y." King Edmund stated.

Eugene arrived in his march. He halted a few feet away from King Edmund. Eugene crisscrossed his arms. He was frowning.

King Edmund noticed his son's presence. He was bewildered. "Oh, Eugene..." King Edmund added. He raises his eyebrow. "Is Varian all right?" King Edmund wondered.

Eugene was irked. "Varian is protected from danger with his dad." Eugene replied.

King Edmund faced Hector. King Edmund shrugs. He was glad. "You'll thank Hector when he's done talking with the cold-hearted ruffians." King Edmund uttered.

Eugene looked at Hector and the Stabbington brothers. Eugene was irritated.

Adira stared at King Edmund firmly. Then, she stares at Eugene confusingly.

Hector was sly in his crazy smile. "All right, grumpy Sideburns..." Hector added. "Why are you so obsessive with the last ancient scroll piece?" He asked.

Sideburns was indeed grumpy. "You're wasting your such a valuable time...You don't threaten me for one moment...You aren't gonna make me talk about the last ancient scroll piece...You ain't seem frightful to me..." he answered.

Eugene shook his head thrice times. He hastened to Sideburns. Eugene shoved at Hector. Eugene grabbed Sideburns' shirt.

Hector got fallen to the ground. He was stunned.

King Edmund and Adira are astonished.

Sideburns was horrified.

Eugene was resolute at Sideburns. "How do you know about the ancient scroll?!" Eugene added, shouting in question. Sideburns was lost over words. Eugene was more angry. "Tell me!" He shouts.

Hector sits up steadily. He was peeved.

Sideburns was merciful. "Okay, okay! I'll speak! I'll speak up!" He added, screaming. "We don't know anything about the ancient scroll! It was a blue-long-hair-bossy-woman!" Sideburns exclaimed.

Eugene was taken aback. "Rapunzel..." he whispers.

Eugene was stern at Sideburns. "What does Rapunzel want with the last ancient scroll piece?" Eugene wondered.

Sideburns was afraid of Eugene.

Hector went to Eugene. Hector was devious yet annoyed with Eugene. Hector scares Sideburns out. "Answer him, you scaredy-grump!" Hector shouted.

Sideburns was panicking. "That nutty blue-long-hair-woman has met me and Eyepatch...She was offering her royal treasures for the last ancient scroll piece...We have no idea she was the queen of Corona...She have only wanted the entire ancient scroll pieces...So she can be free for being stuck in the castle...She can summon black rocks I've tell ya..." Sideburns replied hectically.
