[Rahmanus Palace West Annex Halls - It is gone past witching hour, Enter Prince Clyde Arrowny attempting to sneak to his Royal Chambers.]
King Arrowny: Care to explain as to why you failed to show up to your tutor, failed to join us at dinner and failed to attend the council meeting 30 minutes prior to your return my son?
[Without warning, several guards push Clyde Arrowny to his knees restraining his hands behind his back]
Clyde Arrowny: [aside] Ah shit, how am I going to possibly talk myself out of this one?
Queen Arrowny: Enough of this, I can bear no more! Prince Clyde Arrowny, have you no shame? No sense of self-respect & pride? You are becoming ever the disgrace to this kingdom, what were you even thinking when you fell for that Bastard child?!
[Clyde Arrowny's eyes widen in anger as his fist clench tightly into a firm ball]
Clyde Arrowny: Don't you dare call her that you poisonous bitch!
[Queen Arrowny delivers a hard slap across Clyde Arrowny's face in pure disgust with her son]
King Arrowny: Outrageous! It seems you have even caught her mannerisms, you are no prince.
Clyde Arrowny: I thought you were better than this father, Mom has always been so callous but you too?
[King Arrowny stands before Clyde dropping Bonnie's engagement ring at his knees]
King Arrowny: Consider this soon to be marriage nullified, Faram my Son.
[Exit King Arrowny]
Clyde Arrowny: You CANNOT do this Father! Please I beg you reconsider! Just meet her once, Grace her with an audience, I assure you she is more than meets the eye.
Queen Arrowny: Guards, I want his room on lock down, He doesn't get out and nobody gets inside. No further action with that girl is to be taken on anyone's part. Should harm come to her or her family you have only yourself to blame Clyde.
Guard: T'will be done my Lord...
[Exit Clyde Arrowny & the guards]
Queen Arrowny: [aside] what is becoming of this Kingdom? Something is not right. First the Men in Suits, now my one and only son is turning is back on all he has been raised to become? I will not allow it, I will not see this family be torn apart, and I will not turn a blind eye to these recent string of events. Something must be done but what?
