SOUTHERN KINGDOM ACT 1
*
[Southern Kingdom - Mid-day]
[Outdoors- Somewhere within the Castle's grounds]
-huff huff huff-
--Hehehe
Sunny and extremely warm, the Southern Kingdom was entirely bathed in the red orb's glow hanging directly above. Green and cool, the grounds of the Castle's garden were. And a quite naughty and curious little boy, of four years, ran away excitedly from his caretaker to play there.
He came upon the familiar cabin, south of the Castle, the door ajar. He called
-- Brother?
But there was no reply.
A pair of cool blue eyes cautiously peered inside. Noticing that no one was there, he happily let himself in.

His brother, having much research to do, for he was devising a potion - a poison to be exact, left earlier to visit the Main Library within the Castle.
The cabin belonged to him and served primarily as his laboratory. And as it happened, he had previously left a bowl of unusual looking berries high upon one of the wooden tables.
Accompanied by a lone manservant, he read one of the books as he made his journey towards his cabin. A satchel draped around him contained the other books he acquired. And as he came upon the cobbled lane leading to the front door, still immersed in his own musings, the manservant behind him said,
Cyrus: Your Highness, the door...
Only then did he look upwards. The door was not locked when he left, but seeing how widely open it was now; he knew at once why it was. Stuffing the book away, he stomped towards the entrance and shouted
Crown Prince Roman: Alex!
