Shining Wisdom Script - Part Six
(upon leaving the shrine, you watch as Alfred wakes up from his sleep)
Alfred: Oooouugggghhh……..ahhh! I feel
great! What a fantastic nap!
Alfred: Hey, Mars, what were you doing over by
the shrine! Looking for spooks? I daresay you’ll be hard-pressed to find any in Odegan. Nothing of note ever happens here…
(two guards emerge from behind Alfred)
Guard #1: Soldier, we have been sent to collect your report on the happenings of last night.
(Alfred hesitantly turns around to face them)
Alfred: ……Uh,…Y..yes, Sir! The
night was… uneventful…no…uh, disturbances noted…...um,…Sir.Guard #2: Hmmm…you’re certain of that, young man? NOTHING happened on your night watch?
Alfred: Why…y…yes, Sir! Nothing of
import or concern was observed on this watch,…uh…right, Mars?
(if no):
Alfred: What do you mean, Mars? You stated earlier
to me, your GOOD friend, that you saw nothing either. You’re jesting,
RIGHT?
(if yes):
Alfred: Hehe…<gulp>…uh, see?
Just as I said initially. Nothing of import or concern was observed during
our watch last night.Guard #1: This is fantastic news. The King will be overjoyed to hear this! You must go to his audience chamber at once to tell him what you just told us!
Alfred: Huh? This news of no import will make
the King happen? I…… I’m afraid I don’t understand…Guard #2: It will all become clear when you arrive…
Oh! And you too, Mars. The King will want to see you as well. Be on your way, then! The King awaits…(guards leave)
Alfred: Thanks for covering me back there, Mars!
If the guards knew that I had fallen asleep on my watch, I would have
been severely punished! You saved my neck, and I won’t soon forget
it…but we’d better hurry and go to the King. Follow me!
