*Philomena pulls Vortigern into a dark corner and kisses him*
Believe me darling, I know this is time for our freedom but not before we leave the castle.
*She puts her arms around his neck and whispers in his ear.*
Darl has made a mistake, and I hope to exploit this mistake and get him to allow me a divorce. He is feeling conflicted, so it is time to be bold.
*Her lips find his in the darkness and she kisses him passionately*
And if not... well the paths of Grimney are dangerous. If we are attacked by bandits on the road, you would have to put my safety first and escape with me... We could become lost until the war ends... Nobody could punish us for that if we were found hiding in the mountains or Grimney lake. Do you get my meaning? Timing is everything.
*The mermaid steps back into the light.*
But first I must speak to my husband. Go and amuse yourself downstairs with the pretty serving girls. I hear they are all half in love with your handsome face.

You can't trust any of these people Philomena....
*Vortigern shakes his head and looks down the corridor, all is quiet*.
Thranmere will never grant you a divorce....
*He steps forward and strokes the mermaid's face with the back of his hand*.
The only way out of here is with me.... And the mountains are an option.
*He kisses Philomena and smiles*.
I'll amuse myself with the serving girls. I'll just imagine they're you.
*He winks and heads off down the dimly lit passageway*.

*Darl Thranmere stares at the stone throne in the middle of the room. He crosses the floor and sits down upon it. He gazes at the large oak door ahead and waits silently whilst sipping red wine from a silver goblet*.

A throne fit for a king... but who will be your queen?
*Philomena enters and stands before Darl with her head held high.*
Do you remember the vow you made on our wedding day? When they brought the bones of your ancestors in to swear on, the highest of Kanaran vows I believe?
* The beautiful mermaid steps forward and strokes her husband's cheek. He closes his eye and sighs with the softness of her touch.*
You swore that you would kill anyone to protect me, be they friend, foe or... family. You swore any enemy of mine would lie in a pool of blood as swiftly as you could draw your sword. In return you got me as your bride...
*Darl reaches out for his wife but she steps back.*
But I find you have broken your vow to me. The vow that has bound us together. If you cannot protect me and kill my enemies then you must release me.
*She holds out divorce papers.*
Your love for me has faded. Sign these and we will be free from one another. We can part as friends.

*Darl stares at Philomena*.
No. My love for you remains as strong as ever. You will not be released.
*He drinks from the goblet*.
My niece has left the castle. Where she is I know not.
*He smiles at Philomena*.
Should you force me into a divorce Philomena the kanarans will no longer be bound in their support of your father. We would have no reason to be loyal to him and his cause.
*Darl strokes his beard*.
I fight for our future Princess. And you will be my Queen.

*The papers fall to the floor. Philomena turns white then red with rage. She snatches the goblet from his lips and throws it against the wall in anger*
You are a damned liar Darl Thranmere. If your niece has left the castle then why do you send me away?
*Darl smiles at her outburst and she slaps his face fearlessly*
You are allowed to break your vows but I am forced to remain your whore? Is this the Kanaran way of doing things? I shall never forget this... Fine. I shall remain your wife but I shall never obey you, never yield to you, never share your bed... not until you keep your vows and restore your honour. I cannot respect a man too weak to keep his vows.
*Angry tears form in her eyes*
Not that this matters. expect I will be your widow soon. A man who turns his back on traitors soon finds their knife in his back. Then I will be free again.

*Darl stands up and steps towards the mermaid*.
You will be whatever I make you.
*He raises his hand to strike her*.
Such a pretty face....
*Darl grabs the Princess by the chin and glares into her deep blue eyes*.
A whore should have a pretty face....
*He releases his grip and sneers*.
What makes you different from my niece?
*Darl turns away*.
For if I were to give you a dagger.....
*He sits down on his throne and glares at the mermaid*.
Would you or your servant Vortigern do the deed instead?...
*He laughs hollowly*.
You'll share my bed even if you have to be tied to it my lady....
*He shakes his head*.
If I die?... No... If I die a kanaran wife is given to the man that's closest to him..... You won't be free.... You're mistaken....
*He points his finger at the Princess*.
You have a duty to your father... Don't make enemies of those who are trying to free Grimney from tyranny.
*He sighs and his tone softens*.
You should think on your responsibilities. You must maintain your loyalty to me regardless of circumstance.
*Darl's expression hardens*.
You have no choice.....

I am not like your niece. I would not hide behind my servant, if I were to kill you I would do it with my own hand and in your chest not your back.
*She looks at Darl angrily*
But I am your wife, and mermaids do not go murdering their husbands. You are the one who misses out on having a true and loving wife by your brutality and dishonour.
*Philomena shakes her head and gives Darl a defiant stare*
Don't touch me! Only a tyrant would force his wife to share his bed against her wishes. Are you both a coward and a tyrant? I do not have a duty to keep my vows to a man who doesn't keep his.
*She runs her fingers through her golden hair*
So when I return to my father's castle, I will take a lover or two of my choosing. Men who are handsome and brave. I won't bother to conceal my distaste of you as a husband and a man. I have no respect for a man that cannot keep his vows. Until you bring your niece to justice, you cannot expect my love, respect or loyalty because you show me none.
*Philomena gives a cold smile*
That is my choice... and you can do nothing to stop me when I am away from here.

I see. So be it. You have my permission to kill my niece. If that is what you wish. Bring her your mermaid justice. She rode out some hours ago, I doubt she will flee, she is much like her dead father.
*He looks saddened*.
Her death will mark the end of my family, but the beginning of ours.
*Darl smiles*.
I will keep my vows, and any lover you take will be slaughtered before your eyes. Hear this princess, you belong to me. Between the land and the sea I stand and you stand beside me.

You think that is mermaid justice? No. If she was a mermaid she would be taken to an underwater fortress and imprisoned. I don't want your permission, I want your protection. I want your Kanaran justice. You swore that you, Darl Thranmere, would kill anyone who tried to kill me. If you don't punish your niece personally then you break your vows... but I understand she is your family, the blood that binds you together is precious and I am prepared to release you from your oath, if you set me free...
*She shakes her head and proceeds to speak more calmly than before. She attempts to conceal her hope that Darl will release her.*
I don't want a family with you under these circumstances. If you won't keep your vows then I want a divorce, even if I have to wait until after the war to make our separation official. But understand from now on I will belong to nobody.
*Philomena looks at Darl who gives a sad sigh and puts his hand on the hilt of his sword*
It is simple. Either kill your niece with your own hand and keep me as your wife... or accept I no longer belong to you and we can part as allies. You have a choice. Who do you love more?
