Scene 10The lights come on to reveal the inside castle scene of Jason sitting in at his desk. Chris, casted as Yellin, Jason's man-at-arms enters the room.
Jason: Yellin.
Chris: Sire.
Jason: As chief enforcer of all Florin, I trust you with this secret: Killers from Guilder are infiltrating the Thieves' Forest and plan to murder my bride on our wedding night.
Chris: *surprised* My spy network has heard no such news.
Lucy quietly enters.
Lucy: Any word from Westley?
Jason: *startled* Too soon, my angel. Patience.
Lucy: He will come for me. *Lucy leaves*
Jason: Of course. *turns to Chris* She will not be murdered! On the day of the wedding, I want the Thieves' Forest emptied and every inhabitant arrested!
Chris: *distraught* Many of the thieves will resist. My regular enforcers will be inadequate.
Jason: *angered* Form a brute squad then! I want the Thieves' Forest emptied before I wed.
Chris: It won't be easy, Sire.
Jason: *sarcastically* Try ruling the world sometime.
