Scene 21 - Queen Sandra's Backstory
In the king's bed chamber of the castle, Queen Sandra stays by his side until he was well and rested.
She looked at her tired husband with her sad smile.
King Marcus opened his eyes and yawned.
The king was still exhausted yet awake.
He grins sweetly at his wife.
King Marcus: Sandra...
Queen Sandra: Morning, dear...
Prince Magnum's supporter arrived in the room.
She carries the breakfast on a silver tray for the king.
She was happy.
Paula: I see his majesty has been waking up.
He faced the helper.
The king was glad.
King Marcus: Morning, Paula. And what a treat...Breakfast in bed...
She smiled.
Paula: What's a good morning to start with a good breakfast?
The king raises his right eyebrow.
King Marcus: Sunny side-up with toast?
She repeated the king's curiosity.
Paula: Sunny side-up with toast.
He was cheerful that he's getting his favorite breakfast in bed.
After breakfast, King Marcus learned that Princess Lucia was transformed into a mermaid three days ago. And the princess has a month to break the spell.
The king also learned that Magnum and his son, Lucas, are on a mission to find Lucia in the ocean.
Then again, the two princes had to meet Bloom the white seal first.
If they want to find Princess Lucia sooner before her time is up.
While King Marcus naps in his bed chamber, the queen and Paula heads to the balcony, where they can see the ocean in view.
Queen Sandra was solemn yet smiling at the sea.
Paula stared at the queen in puzzlement.
She was confused.
Paula: Your majesty, are you okay?
Queen Sandra: Yes but I still want to help them to find my daughter.
The prince's supporter was sympathetic.
Paula: I understand, your majesty. For what I know of Magnum, he will not give up until his request is complete.
The queen faced her.
Queen Sandra: May I tell you a secret?
She shrugged at the queen.
Paula recognized the change of subject.
Then again, she was confident.
Paula: If you're asking if I'm going to tell a soul, I will not. I'm good at keeping secrets.
Queen Sandra sighed.
The queen holds the red lion's paw seashell necklace.
Queen Sandra: I'm not a human being.
Paula was perplexed.
She wanted to know.
Paula: What are you then?
