Chapter 31: 31
Int. Room- Day
Stella meets Ally
Ella: (holding her hand) I am sorry I had to leave you there
Ally: I am ok. By the way you don't look good yourself
Ella: I got hurt when I rescued Junior. It's not that bad
Ally: Then why is your arm still bleeding
Mercy: You girls are so crazy. Is risking your lives really worth it? For all I care you can just marry a decent guy and spend your days without worrying about a thing (she starts her treatment)
Ella: Thank you, it must have opened when I was running. So things can't be left and forgotten. All we want is to spend our days with our family and friends. The people who love us
Ally: I think it's time to lose the disguise and let your beauty shine. I really hate that disguise especially the mole and that scar
Ella: I now don't have a choice anyway. Thanks to this disguise nobody will ever know it was me
Mercy: You should doll up. It's your lucky day today. The prince is looking for a wife.
Ella: That's right. Someone has to get into the palace.
Ext. Market- Day
They are talking a walk and look at the announcement
Max: The day has finally come. Our Dan will no longer be a boy but a man. Don't worry, I as your friend will help you choose the prettiest of them all
Dan: So far I have never seen a girl who interests me. I will just marry for my father's sake. I will not expect her to act like my wife nor should she expect any love from me
Max: Just relax and have fun. Who knows you might fall in love in the future
Dan: I am sure most of them only care about the title and the fortunes that comes with it. That is not what I want that is why I won't dare to love anyone
Max: Says who? Some of them really like you so stop insulting their love. Besides they are women, do you expect them to carry a spear and talk about war
Dan: By the way put a reign on your little sister. I will never pick her so spare her a face
Max: Just reject her tomorrow. Maybe it will finally sink in when you marry someone else. She needs to end her obsession
Dan: It's the only way
Max spots Ella's wanted poster
Max: Is that? I hate beggars, finally people can see them for who they really are. Cable people with two hands yet they chose to be lazy. Instead of an honest living she dared to kill people
On the other side Ella dressed beautifully is looking at herself in front of a mirror when Dan notices her
Dan: Who is that girl? I have never seen her before
Max: Who? Wow! So you like this kind of girl! Look at you oogling
Dan: I am not
A horse pulling a carriage suddenly loses control. Dan immediately rushes to save Ella. Her head hits a stone and she blacks out
Int. Palace- Dans Room- Night
She slowly opens her eyes
Ella: Where am I?
Dan: It's good that you regained your consciousness. You had been out of it for hours you had me worried
Ella: (touching her head) My head hurts. It's like I have a terrible hangover
Dan:(laughs) Not a hangover, you hit a stone when I rescued you. Drink this it will deal with the headache
Ella: (she is back to her senses and remembers Dan) What is this place?
Dan: It's my residence in the palace. I am prince Dan
Ella: {Darn it, why did it have to be him}(she tries hiding her face){that's right, he surely cannot recognize my usual face, still I have to leave this place}
Dan: (stares at her face) What are you thinking about? Somehow I feel like I have seen you before
Ella: I don't think so. Besides, it is wrong to stare at an unmarried girls face. I should leave least my reputation gets ruined
Dan: Sure (he watches as she walks towards the door) Wait!
Ella: Crap!
Dan: Your hand is bleeding. Where did you get such an injury. Let me help you
Ella: Thank you, I will deal with it at home (she leaves) So this is the palace! Darn this hand, how many times will it keep opening up
Dan: I was lost in her beauty I forgot to ask her name. Man! I am sounding exactly like that Monique
Ext. Mountain - Night
Captain is furious looking at the wanted poster
Captain: Where is this Ella
Craig: What did she do this time. She can't stay from trouble
Captain: There you are (drags her) What is the meaning of this
Ella: Oh that! Now I get why you are frustrated and angry. Even I was very pissed when I saw that. I mean, how dare they offer a lousy reward for my head. I am way more than this
Captain: I am not talking about the reward, do you know how much trouble this could bring. You have hit their radar and now they would be looking out for you. If this continues you will lead them right to us
Ella: Relax, with this beauty nobody recognizes me. I am always careful
Captain: This is a serious matter and you are not getting the message
Ella: I am, I will never endanger all of you. Take a look at this
Riley: The prince is getting married? I want to go. Please, let me go and try
Girlie: Even I would like to go and try
Riley: Oh please! There is no way in the hell will he ever choose you so just keep quiet
Captain: Ella will go
Riley: Are you kidding me! She is only a pretty face and doesn't have royal etiquette. I am the best choice here
Ella: So what if you are the best choice. He has already taken a liking to me (she walks away)
Junior: Sister!
Ella: My Junior!
From afar Leo is looking at her with lots of love
Wayne: It's over, you are head over heels in love with her
Leo: No, it's admiring her
Dawn: Just admit it. It's not a crime anyway
