Plot: Nicholas is a thief in the kingdom of Greenewicket, and currently he’s roaming the busy kingdom center streets for someone to rob. He spots Teo very rich looking ladies in expensive dresses strolling down the street together, so he decides to try them. His tactic is to flirt with one of the ladies until she lets her guard down, and then take her purse without being noticed. It’s easy enough, the sort of job he does every day. When he steals one girls wallet, the other chases him. He discovers the one chasing him is the princess, and decides to “hold her captive” and collect a reward. How hard could that be?

It’s a very regular large kingdom. Ruled by king William and Queen Penelope, it is a happy kingdom. The rules are just. The inner parts of the kingdom around the castle are rich and prosperous. Some outer parts face a lot of poverty and not much attention is payed to them by the royal family. Most of the land owned by the kingdom is rural, mountainous and scattered with only a few inns and bars. The king and queen have two children, their Eldest son Alfred and their young daughter Rosemary. First scene: [Narrator]: Rosemary and Petunia had finally been allowed to go out into the streets without guards. They were strolling around, browsing shopping and gossiping about the kingdom. As they’re walking, a handsome (but somewhat scrappy) young man approaches them. Dynamic between Rosemary and Nicholas: Nicholas doesn’t care that she’s a Princess, makes fun of her a lot. She doesn’t care about him either, and makes fun of him. They dislike each other at first. A/n (any extra direction to the engine): Emphasize emotional depth and small gestures over quick romance; no rushing the payoff.
