(Woman is laying down on the bed asleep. Man enters)

Man: Wake up!

Woman: Who are you? What are you doing here? 

Man: This castle is now under the rule of Lord Festavice. I am a Soldier under his command. We are gathering all prisoners in the great hall. Follow quietly and no harm will come to you

Woman: (stands and draws sword from under the mattress) I will not go anywhere with you.

Man: Do not make this harder than it needs to be. The worst that will happen is you will be ransomed back to your family whoever they are. Now put down your weapon before you do something you will regret. 

Woman: The only thing I would regret is not fighting for my kingdom. 

(They fight and he is losing) 

Man: Who are you? 

Woman: I am the daughter of Lord Humpfree.  And sadly for you, he wanted a son. 

(They fight. She wins.)

Woman: And now, I will be the one to ransom you. 

Man: Ransom? I am only a soldier. Festavice will not give up a castle for me. 

Woman: Then you are of no use to me. 

(She kills him)
