Your Grace.
*Ethella gives a swift curtsey*
My master bade me to tell you to prepare for a visit later. He desires you to wear this dress as he prefers you in human clothes and will expect you to wear them to give him pleasure.
*She lays out an emerald-coloured velvet gown*
Now if you please Your Grace, I will dress you now.

I don't want to see him, I don't want to wear that dress and I certainly don't want to give him pleasure.
*Philomena pouts petulantly*
Is there no word from my father? Has he not said when I can go home?

This is your home now Princess.
*Ethella ignores the mermaid's protests and begins to dress her in the new gown*
And as for not wanting to.., well what you want is of little importance. It is your duty. Out there on the battle fields, thousands of men are dying for their duty to you and your family, so the least you can do is your duty with a smile.
*She sees the tears rolling down Philomena's cheek and sighs impatiently.*
Is there anything I can get you to cheer your heart? Shall I send for the minstrels to play you a song or two? My master will not be happy to see you tearful.

*Darl Urek enters through a large wooden door followed by to guards who close it behind their master. The Overlord smiles at Philomena and nods his head towards the maid*.
You cannot leave my princess.... In time you will forgive me... But I understand your reluctance, but I mean to make you happy. That I promise.
*He sits down in a large throne like chair, reaches across and pours two glasses of wine*.
War is a painful business, I have lost all my family in conflict and they did not even make these shores.
*He offers her a goblet of red wine*.
I mean to start afresh. Please... Share a drink with me? For I am not an ogre.

Some of my good friends are ogres. No you are not an ogre, but you are a monster. My reluctance and unhappiness were no protection against you on our wedding night. You could have shown more compassion when consummating our marriage but instead you charged in like an army plundering a village.
*Philomena takes a goblet of wine*
How can I be happy when I am treated like the spoils of war? How can I be happy married to someone I don't know, I don't love, because I am the price my father is prepared to pay you for your vast army. Is this to be my fate forever? Kept here like a prisoner, your toy to be dressed as you choose and played with when you wish.
Once I thought that I would be married to someone who loved me more than anything. I thought my marriage would be based on love, not just be a political alliance. Maybe when he discovers where I am...
*She drains the cup*
I have done as you asked and drunk wine with you... husband. Has that satisfied you now?

*He nods at the two guards*.
Wait outside.
*They bow to Philomena and exit*.
You have little choice... You will do your duty by your father. Perhaps I may take pleasure in your suffering. But I may love you all the same.
*He pours himself more red wine*.
I’m never satisfied, especially by a life that takes more than it gives. But you will give, and you will yield whenever I wish it.
*He sighs*.
My body was battered and torn on the reefs of the Dudrassa, I may appear as a monster. So perhaps I am...
*Darl chuckles*
Kalvos? A man of straw.... He’ll not save you.

It is not the outside of you that is a monster, I am used to men with scars. Yes... I think you take great delight in my suffering, because you have suffered so much yourself. Misery loves company, or so I am told. You do not love me, I cannot believe a man like you is capable of love.
Yes... I will be doing my duty. If I choose to yield.
*She turns pale, then looks away from him*
Kalvos... you know of him? It seems you know me better than I know you. Not hard of course, the Queen only told me I was getting married on the morning of our wedding. She and my father thought is was the best way. It probably was for them, I would have escaped if I was given the chance.
*She moves out of his reach before she stares at hin defiantly*
And now I am here. For as long as you can keep me.

War rages.... All in the land will suffer.... Why should I spare your feelings?
*Darl frowns at Philomena*
After so many lost at sea... A little love is needed.
*He raises an eyebrow*.
We will love each other.... But if you refuse...
*Darl sighs and shakes his head*.
Princess...
*He glares at Philomena with his one good eye*
This union will be.... In health, sickness and death.
*He drinks more wine and his lips stain red*.
Take what pleasure you can in this life... Live every day as if it is your last...
*Darl smiles coldly*.
Kalvos...... Your true love?.... Out there.... War rages, all is lost with him.... Your destiny lies with me Princess....
*He looks saddened*.
Poor boy, but I was Kalvos once, so no need to wait for him to grow into me. Be thankful for what you have, be thankful for small mercies.
