Congress grounds. LYON PRINCE.
LYON PRINCE :
...
He looks around.
LYON PRINCE :
This room... Tomorrow, the seven most powerful people in this world will get together, and discuss matters of great importance. I am one of such people.
An ATTENDANT enters.
ATTENDANT :
Ah, you must be the Proud Lyon Prince. You have come early, for the congress will only start tomorrow.
LYON PRINCE :
I wanted to learn the terrain before the battle.
ATTENDANT :
I want to remind you that tomorrow, a battle will not be held. In this room, utmost civility is expected, and the participants are to work together. This congress is not an event in which the rulers rank themselves, but instead an event in which they work on global solutions to better the lives of everyone.
LYON PRINCE :
I know that. And yet, I can't shake the feeling that a battle will take place, waged by seven warriors with smiling, complacent masks.
ATTENDANT :
Then, to rest before that battle of yours, do you want me to show me to your room ?
The OTTER KING enters.
OTTER KING :
That will not be necessary, dear attendant. You must be tired after all your duties today. I shall guide this young one to his room, so go to yours and relieve yourself of these weary shoulders.
The ATTENDANT leaves.
OTTER KING :
Now, young prince, shall we go ?
The OTTER KING offers his hand to the LYON PRINCE. The PRINCE refuses. They leave together.
