______ KALA VILLAGE _______
_____ LOCAL GOVERNOR'S HOUSE _____
______ LILIAN _____
(Angry) Father! Is that really you?! You're not the man you used to be! …(crying) Just when I thought our relationship could improve, and we could truly be father and daughter… How long will you continue to disappoint me? But this time, you've crossed the line! How could you agree to my marriage with that senile man without my consent?!
______ LOCAL GOVERNOR ______
Mind your limits! You may have allowed yourself to insult me, but I will not allow you to insult an honored guest. I am truly sorry, Lord Bens. I apologize for my daughter's rudeness. I will make sure to punish her later!
______ BENS _____
No need for that—it will ruin her beautiful face. Besides, she's still a child; her words don't count for much!
______ MELEN _____
Your wisdom, sir… thank you for your understanding!
_____ LILIAN _____
I'm not done yet! Just let me tell you this, you senile old man: I'd rather die than marry you!
______ MELEN _____
There's no use. Even if you don't marry, everyone in the village thinks you do.
If you try to escape now, your beauty won't help—it will only hinder you.
______ LILIAN _____
Damn you all! I'm leaving!
________ /Door opens/ _______
_____ BENS _____
You have time to prepare yourself. Remember that… no, think carefully as well. You will realize your mistakes!
_______ LILIAN _______
You won't escape, you perverted old man. Remember this: even if I don't defeat you now, I will expose your true identity, you hypocrites!
________ /Door closes/ _______
______ BENS _____
…What are you talking about? Hahaha.
______ MELEN _______
I-I'm really sorry!
______ BENS _____
What are you apologizing for?! Your daughter is quite entertaining!
_____ MELEN _____
Ah… well… that's good then!
______ LILIAN'S ROOM ______
_______ LILIAN _____
Damn it! No one's by my side. I am the most beautiful girl in the world—I won't allow this to happen!
But my only option now… is to escape!
________ 4 HOURS LATER ________
_____ MELEN'S OFFICE ____
________ /Knock on the door/ ________
_______ MELEN ________
Who's there? Is there a problem?!
______ Maid _______
Sir! Sir! Sorry to bother you, but there is a problem!
____ MELEN _____
Speak! What's the problem?!
____ Maid ______
Miss… Miss Lilian has escaped!!
_____ MELEN ______
What? Are you sure? Did you check—maybe she's just in the garden?
______ Maid ______
No, sir! Unfortunately, we've checked multiple times!
_____ MELEN ______
Damn it! Wasn't anyone guarding her? What good are you all? I'll deduct from your salaries!
______ BENS ______
Sir Melen! Calm down—you'll find her soon, I'm sure. After all, she's just a girl; she won't get far. Hahaha!
______ MELEN ______
But sir, what if we don't find her?
______ BENS ______
Damn! How pessimistic you are… (sigh) If that really happens… forget our deal!
______ MELEN ______
But sir!
_____ BENS ______
Also, I'll reveal everything! I don't want to get involved!
_____ MELEN ______
No! Please, sir, don't! I'll find her, even if it costs me my life!
_____ BENS ______
Good—that's the spirit! Hahaha… I'll give you twenty-four hours.
_____ MELEN ______
Yes! Thank you, sir!
______ POV MELEN ______
That bastard Bens… if he didn't have money, he'd be cleaning my feet as a servant!
And on top of that, I have to go out now—all because of her!
________ /Door opens/ _______
_____ MELEN ______
Damn you, Lilian! I'll find you and make you regret this!
_________ /Door closes/ ________
______ SOMEWHERE ________
________ LILIAN _______
(Running) Finally… I'm free! I won't be a slave to that old man… (shocked)
They're not supposed to follow me here… so… why? Who are these people?
_______ POV LILIAN _______
Damn! They're getting closer… I need to hide… but where? …Yes! That rock on the previous slope!
