Law
Liliana Allard
My knees hurt
Panos
I’m sorry, my lady, the order was to let you stay kneeling for three hours…
Liliana Allard
I know, it’s not your fault…
Theodore Walden
What is this?
Lady Madeline Allard
Liliana is being punished for being tardy to dinner
Lady Madeline Allard
My lord, have you had dinner yet? Please dine with us
Liliana Allard
*Is that the sir who walked me home?*
Theodore Walden
While this young lady kneels in front of me?
Theodore Walden
I would like to eat with her if that’s okay, lady Madeline
Lady Madeline Allard
O-Of course…
Lady Madeline Allard
Whatever you wish…
Theodore Walden
(Extends hand)
Liliana Allard
(Takes hand)
Liliana Allard
*Who is this man?*
Theodore Walden
My lady, please sit next to me
Lady Madeline Allard
(Whisper) Mia! Sit at the other seat next to his highness
Mia Allard
(Whisper) Yes mother!
Liliana Allard
(Sits with Theodore)
Mia Allard
(Sits with Theodore)
Lady Madeline Allard
(Sits)
Theodore Walden
*Who does this Mia think she is sitting with me?*
Theodore Walden
So, my lady
Theodore Walden
I have never seen you around much
Theodore Walden
Where have they been hiding you?
Liliana Allard
(Laughs nervously)
Liliana Allard
I just don’t like to go outside much…
Liliana Allard
I-I also like studying law so that keeps me pretty busy
Theodore Walden
Huh! The law!
Theodore Walden
Do you know who makes the laws?
Mia Allard
*Why is he only speaking with her?*
Lady Madeline Allard
Your highness, don’t tease my Liliana
Lady Madeline Allard
She’s just a little girl
Lady Madeline Allard
She doesn’t know anything
Theodore Walden
Lady Madeline, please don’t interrupt again
Lady Madeline Allard
…Y-Yes
Theodore Walden
So, my lady?
Liliana Allard
U-Um! Yes! I believe the ministers come up with the laws according to the citizens’ suggestions and complaints, and then the Emperor passes or voids them, but currently, the Crown Prince has taken charge of that
