Rose of Rebel: The Royal and Noble Heirs
Episode 1: The Execution Square
In the once peaceful land of Athelgardia..
In the once quiet kingdom of Viridia...
There echoes both the cry of pain and the shout of triumph.
[Someone entered. A woman holding an axe.]
Former Citizen of Arcana
There she is! Our princess!
Former Citizen of Arcana
Let him d(i)e in the most brutal way!! He deserves it!
Former Citizen of Arcana
Cut his head!
Arcana was once the capital city of the kingdom of Viridia.
Not until the tragedy that broke the belief of its people in the grace of their royalties.
Citizen of Viridia
Please! Spare our royal highness. *crying*
"What does it feel like?" the woman with the axe spoke.
Aella Aethorn
To be k(i)lled on the land you love so dearly?
Lady Aella Aethorn, the daughter of Duke Lysander Aethorn and Duchess Sephania Aethorn, who once was the known ruler of the Town of Arcana.
Commonly known as the Rose of Rebel or the Rebellious Rose for she was considered as the flower of hope and beauty during the era of peace within the kingdom of Viridia.
Caius Beaumont
You don't have to do this, lady.
Prince Caius Beaumont, the one and only heir of the kingdom of Viridia. Son of King Eamon Beaumont from his second wife, Queen Seraphina Beaumont.
Aella Aethorn
What do you know about what should and what should not be done?
Caius Beaumont
You once lived in this kingdom. How could you throw that away?
Aella Aethorn
And we once served you faithfully. What have you done in return?!
Caius Beaumont
It was a mistake..
Caius Beaumont
I may not know what happened entirely, but I know deep within what we all believed lies something unbeknownst to us all..
Aella Aethorn
I do not intend to find out or either change what I have decided.
Caius Beaumont
MY FATHER IS REASONABLE ENOUGH TO NOT DO SOMETHING THAT WOULD RUIN HIS OWN KINGDO–
Aella Aethorn
Your SOUL in exchange for the life of the innocents you took from us.
Aella Aethorn
This is the end of the history that you and your family have only ever ruined.
Aella Aethorn
[Stares coldly]
"It's almost time" spoken by someone coming from the back.
Baldwin Thorne
You should be aware of whatever the consequences of this would be, Your grace, Lady Aethorn.
Baldwin Thorne, the former Deputy Commander, second to the First Marshal, of the Town of Arcana. Was also once a loyal knight and follower of the Viridian royalties
Baldwin Thorne
The crowd...
Baldwin Thorne
They're volatile.
Baldwin Thorne
This is a royal. Things could get out of hand.
Aella Aethorn
That's the point, Captain.
Aella Aethorn
They need to see justice done. They need to see the end of this.
Caius Beaumont
You seriously think this is justice? *in a cold tone*
Lady Aella moved closer and removed the blindfold of the prince.
Aella Aethorn
Then tell me what justice is.
Aella Aethorn
💭 What is wrong.. 💭
Aella Aethorn
💭...with those eyes..?💭
Caius Beaumont
Justice is righteousness, Lady.
Caius Beaumont
Justice is fairness..
Aella Aethorn
So where was the justice when YOUR parents got MY parents k(i)lled?
Aella Aethorn
Do you think that's fair?
Caius Beaumont
But at least let your heart lead you to seek the truth and not merely believe what other people had passed down to you. That's fair to me.
Aella Aethorn
You're selfish.
Aella Aethorn
You think my people would lie?
Caius Beaumont
If you know your people, I also know mine..
Caius Beaumont
Let's figure it all out. *pleading voice*
Lady Aethorn suddenly stood straightly.
She then grabbed the axe.
She raised her hands holding the axe then shouted:
Aella Aethorn
Caius of the Royal Blood! You stand accused of crimes against the people!
Aella Aethorn
Your family has profited from our suffering! Today, you will pay the price!
[Kingdom people shouting]
Former Citizen of Arcana
Blood for blood!
Former Citizen of Arcana
The monarchy must fall!
Citizen of Viridia
Please have mercy upon our royal highness!
Caius Beaumont
Aella, I understand your anger. I know the history between our families.
Caius Beaumont
But I swear to you, I am not my ancestors. I want peace. I want to heal this divide.
Aella Aethorn
We've almost believed that there was still hope within your family's blood.
Aella Aethorn
But we were wrong.
Aella Aethorn
YOU ARE ALL JUST THE SAME!
Aella Aethorn
From the very beginning of your reign.
Aella Aethorn
Up until this day.
Aella Aethorn
You think you can deceive me?
Caius Beaumont
Just give me a chance..
Caius Beaumont
I will prove to you that there's still hope for this kingdom..
Caius Beaumont
That we can still be united..
Caius Beaumont
And we can bring back the harmony we once lost.
Aella Aethorn
You shut up!
Aella raised her axe, in position to hit the head of the prince.
Caius Beaumont
Listen to what your heart truly speaks and not what your anger screams.
Former Citizen of Arcana
K(i)ll him, k(i)ll him!!
Former Citizen of Arcana
People like them shall not live!!
Baldwin Thorne
Before the royal guards make their way back!
Aella Aethorn
[Frozen in position]

Episode 2: The Prince's Plea
They shouted and screamed. Guards of Rebellion struggled to hold back the mob.
Getting past all the guards with his strength
Rebel Rouse
You're just as weak as they are when hands tied!
Rebel Rouse
Why can't you just k(i)ll him!
Baldwin Thorne
Don't you dare come any closer!
Rebel Rouse
Are you hearing yourself?!
Rebel Rouse
We've come so far for her to just change her mind!
Rebel Rouse
We've all waited for this moment!
Former Citizen of Arcana
He's right!
Former Citizen of Arcana
He doesn't deserve to live!
A woman comes rushing to the platform.
Baldwin Thorne
Everyone who dares to come near the lady shall perish!!
Aella Aethorn
Let her be..
Avila Bermenti
Please, my lady.
Avila Bermenti
I know there's still kindness in you.
Avila Bermenti
[Looked up]
Avila Bermenti
The prince is a nice man and a trusted one.
Avila Bermenti
I must know because I have never once failed to give the right judgement to anyone.
Avila Bermenti
Even to you..
Aella Aethorn
You were once our trusted person. But you also left us in vain.
Avila Bermenti
I never did, my lady..
Avila Bermenti, the once loyal noble maid of the Duke's family. The one who took care of Aella and his noble family but got parted after the tragedy.
Avila Bermenti
I just couldn't let rage take over me..
Rebel Rouse
That makes no sense at all!
Rebel Rouse
There is no place in his kingdom for being good when the rulers cannot even be entrusted with their own laws!
Baldwin Thorne
Shut your mouth!
Rebel Rouse
I thought you were with us, captain. Now you're siding for their weakness!
Baldwin Thorne
Quit being irrational and let the lady think!
Rebel Rouse
Oh now I see!
Rebel Rouse
You want a taste of the noble lady isn't that right?!
Baldwin Thorne
I said shut up!!
Caius Beaumont
Is this what you want?
Caius Beaumont
I am now desperately pleading with you to listen to me....
Caius Beaumont
I need your understanding and proper judgement.
Rebel Rouse
Don't listen to his lies! He's trying to manipulate you! He's just like the rest of them!
Baldwin Thorne
Do not ever make a mistake, my lady.
Rebel Rouse
I'm gonna do it if you don't!
Former Citizen of Arcana
Liar! Manipulator!
Former Citizen of Arcana
Finish him!
Caius Beaumont
Aella, look around you. Is this justice? Is this what you want? More bloodshed? More hatred?
Rebel Rouse
She's weakening! She's been swayed by his royal charm! Don't let him fool you!
Baldwin Thorne
Aella, I can't hold him back much longer!
Caius Beaumont
I know what my family has done. I know the pain they've caused.
Caius Beaumont
But I believe we can change things.
Caius Beaumont
I believe we can build a better future, together.
Aella Aethorn
💭It's those eyes again..💭
Aella Aethorn
💭It's as if it's pulling me away from the worries of it all.💭
Caius Beaumont
But it starts with you, Aella.
Caius Beaumont
It starts with you choosing peace over vengeance.
Noble Guard
The royal guards have made their way back! They're heading towards us!
Baldwin Thorne
Your grace, lady Aethorn. We must leave!
Baldwin Thorne
This instan-
The commander was hurt by the Rebel Rouse
Rebel Rouse
If you can't k(i)ll him, then I might as well just take both your lives!
Rebel Rouse
This will be the end for you two! We will all d(i)e here!
Noises of metals clanking echoes throughout the place.
Aella Aethorn
[Frozen in shock]
Town people are in a panic to get out of the area as soon as possible.
Baldwin Thorne
Your grace, you should run!
Aella Aethorn
[Still just watching the two men fight]
Baldwin Thorne
[Weakened] Aella...
Someone fell down. The sound of his knees touching the ground was loud enough to be heard.
Caius Beaumont
I now assume that you wouldn't ever look down on our power.
Rebel Rouse
Y-your highness..
Caius Beaumont
Escape before the Royal guards reach your position.
Caius Beaumont
Take the man with you.
Aella Aethorn
No. Thorne will come with me.
Baldwin Thorne
M'lady, I don't want to burden you. You should escape and we'll lure the guards away.
Baldwin Thorne
This was my sworn duty.
Baldwin Thorne
And I must fulfill.
The captain turns to Prince Caius.
Baldwin Thorne
I may not know what your plan is, but sure enough, if the lady would ever get harmed, you will pay the price.
Caius Beaumont
I'm man enough to not let that happen.
Baldwin Thorne
[Cold stare]
Rebel Rouse
Y-Your highness, my gratitude is all yours.. [Bowed his head]
The Rebel assisted the captain but the captain refused.
They both run away just in time before the guards arrived and they followed them.
Prince Caius quickly grabbed Lady Aella to the corner to not be seen.
Aella Aethorn
What the hell are you plotting no- mhmmmmhhmm
Roillan Belerick
Quick! Look for the Prince!
Roillan Belerick
They're just around here!
Roillan Belerick, War Master of the Royal Guards.
Roillan Belerick
Search the whole area!
All the royal guards scattered around the area.
They have their one goal.
To rescue the prince and execute who dares get in the way.
Caius Beaumont
[Carefully put his hand down]
Aella Aethorn
[Turned to face the prince]
Aella Aethorn
This is all my fault..
Aella Aethorn
My people, my parents legacy..
Aella Aethorn
It's all gonna d(i)e. It's all gonna vanish.
Caius Beaumont
I wouldn't let that happen..
Roillan Belerick
Your highness, Prince Caius, are you there?
The footsteps slowly get closer..
Roillan Belerick
Your Royal Highness?
