[Juliet is in great disbelief] Juliet: Shes actually a Capulet So its true that shes my older sister [Juliets face is full of terror and disgust.] Lord Capulet: Yes. When we had her your mother was disappointed. She was saying that she lacked beauty and charisma. I tried to say that we should calm down and try to look on the bright side, maybe she knows of wizards! When Athena turned 12, I was disappointed. She isnt even smart at all. Your mother said that we should abandon her and we did. We left her in a random city away from the kingdom. Juliet: You would do this to your own family?? Athena: Well that family abandoned me. I was 12 FOR GOD''S SAKE!! [Juliet is having a breakdown The Capulet family abandoned her but the things shes doing arent so great either] [Juliet could not think of which side to side on But her heart says to follow her family to the end] [In the midst of Juliets breakdown Lord Capulet is left shocked and has a question!] Lord Capulet: But how could this be Youre still alive.

Athena: Yes He took care of me and when I grew up I told him everything about you. Friar Laurence: What a disgraceful move your highness. Abandoning your own daughter. Lord Capulet: We had to!

This is the person I wished I could be!! Friar Laurence: Enough with your ego being so big! Its not even your body to begin with. Athena: Well fine! Whats our idea for now? Friar Laurence: We should hide Juliets body under this basement. Athena: Perfect idea! [Athena and Friar Laurence dig a hole in the ground and bury Juliet then put the tiles back.] Friar Laurence: Well that was taken care of! Athena: Whats our plan again Friar? Friar Laurence: I believe its to take over Juliet''s place and take charge of the kingdom. Athena: That sounds about right! Athena: Lets go outside and explore the world, Friar!!

Athena or Juliet: Thank you! But I think I can handle this crisis on my enough The nurse: Ill be off then but if the crisis is too heavy of a burden to you, you can always find me. [The nurse leaves the room] [Later Friar Laurence enters the room then] Friar Laurence: About the plan do you have any idea or something out of the ordinary?

[Athena or Juliet implemented corrupt laws and committed corrumpere et dictatore] [Corrumpere et dictatore is a term in the kingdom of Verona where a King or Queen makes a law that is not beneficial for the kingdom but for themselves.] [Later that night Romeo stumbled into Athena or Juliet] Romeo: My Juliet, what are you doing here?

A Guard: Well all I saw was that Juliet went inside the basement. Romeo: Then? What happened next?? A Guard: Then she left the basement acting weird and thats all about it. Romeo: Something must have happened to the basement! [Romeo took off and ran to the basement but Juliet stopped him.] Romeo: Juliet! What are you doing!! Athena or Juliet: Im protecting you from the knowledge you dont want to know! Romeo: Im sorry my Juliet But Romeo: Reditio!! Athena or Juliet: WHAT HOW DID YOU LEARN SPELL?!?! Romeo: I just happened to stumble into some book.

A MEASLY PRINCE FROM THE MONTAGUE FAMILY?!?! WELL NO. Athena: Time for revenge. Athena: Occid- [Athena forgot that Occidere can only be cast 1 time per day and can have severe consequences if cast 2 times] Athena: Wha- [Athenas body shined. Athena could see, think or feel anything.] {While dying Athena dreamed of a dream where shes loved by her parents.] [Then Athenas body is obliterated leaving no trace of her] Romeo: That was weird Romeo: Lets ignore that and go upstairs. [Romeo and Lord Capulet go upstairs only to find a crown of guards in front of them.] Armed Guard: Youre under arrest for the murder of Juliet Capulet.] Romeo: WHAT!! When did I murder Juliet?!?! [The Armed Guard shows Juliets dead body to Romeo] Romeo: Juliet is dead? When was I involved in this??? Armed Guard: The stab wound matches that of Juliets injury. [That girl mustve cast something that created these delusions Its probably Errores It said that the spell Veritas can remove these illusions.] [The spell Errores can make the user cast illusions that are so true that you can touch them.] If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it. [The spell Veritas reveals all the truth within a certain area.] Romeo: Veritas!! [The Guards were knocked unconscious and the illusions disappeared] Romeo: Phew that was taken care of. Well then let''s head outside of the kingdom to resolve the problems caused by that girl.

[A group of people keeps shouting Murderer toward Romeo.] [Romeo runs inside the kingdom] Romeo: What happened out there?? A Guard: Well I think the people are blaming you for the death of Juliet Capulet. Romeo: How can you be calm about that And why are you not attacking me? A Guard: I think when you cast the spell Veritas it revealed all the truth to me. Romeo: Wow, I didn''t think that spell was that powerful. Romeo: I know how to solve this problem! Ill cast the spell Veritas on a scale much bigger and can affect all the parts of the kingdom! Lord Capulet: I think a more powerful spell needs more energy and power to cast. Romeo: Thats true but I need the kingdom to see the truth!! Lord Capulet: Allow me to cast the spell for you Romeo. Lord Capulet: I saw my own wife and daughter get killed in front of me. Lord Capulet: If the spell were to kill me. I think that would be an honorable death for me. Romeo: Well then lets teach you the spell. I think it''s a different spell if it were that wide of a range. [Romeo teaches Lord Capulet the spell.] Lord Capulet: Lets go down to business shall we? [Lord Capulet goes outside then] Lord Capulet: Annunciate Veritatem!!!! [The spell Annunciate Veritatem is the more powerful version of Veritas capable of affecting everyone within a 300 km radius] [A powerful shock wave was created and the spell Veritas affected everyone in the kingdom] [That magnitude of the spell was too much for Lord Capulets body turning his body to ash.] Romeo: Lord Capulet I hope that your death is not in vain [Romeo goes back to the castle and all of a sudden someone whispers to him Does Romeo think it''s the witch] The witch?: (In an echoey voice) Why dont you find Juliet, Romeo? Romeo: How?? The witch?: (In an echoey voice) Why don''t you cast a spell Romeo: All I can think of is two spells Romeo: Cognosco!!

Romeo: Im sorry Juliet It appears that Ive failed to protect you [Romeo reverts to his status where he died of blood loss and venom] [In the mangrove forest] The witch: Well that was a fun experiment!! Its an interesting fact that Humans thrive on emotions. The witch: Ill find other experiment subjects! [The witch wanders around the kingdom and she sees a miserable nurse.] The witch: Oh Look what we have here! The witch: Cognosco!! [The witch learned that the nurse is in terrible pain. She lost her princess, Juliet Capulet. To her, Juliet is like her own daughter And to add insult to injury the Juliet she talked to is not even Juliet herself but rather Athena] The witch: Why dont I help you with your pain? The nurse: How? The witch: Errores!! [The witch casts an illusion of Juliet] The nurse: Oh Juliet!! Youre still alive!! [The nurse runs and tightly hugs Juliet] [But Juliet says something] Juliet: You are to blame for this! Because of you, I passed away! If you had helped me when I was at my worst, this would not have happened. The gall to dress like that! You are not worthy to serve as my nurse! [The nurses heartbreak She was filled with despair] The witch: Why dont you visit Juliet herself [The witch creates a knife and leaves with a wicked laugh!] [The nurse filled with delusions She could only think of one thing] The nurse: Dont worry Juliet I''m coming! [The nurse commits suicide in the hope of seeing Juliet again] [Back to the kingdom] [The kingdom wakes up with the truth that Romeo, Juliet, Lord Capulet, Lady Capulet, The nurse, and Athena are dead.] A Guard: With the royal family of the Capulet family dead.
