In one of halls of the castle, in the morning, we see Masha, wearing a dress from the middle centuries and walking rapidly and nervously -by the way, Masha loves these kind of dresses and that's why she obliges her daughter and her nephew to wear them-, and behind her the angry Mina wearing a beautiful red dress. The latter says, begging her mother:
- Mum, I don't have time to meet the duchess! I have to take care of my business! My team needs me and someone has to look after all the crew of the abode and this "someone" is me! And you know well that I hate her and her disgusting son!!
- Mina, you have to remember that you are a princess and you should meet the duchess because it's one of your royal duties, even though you always neglect your royal duties carelessly!
- And is one of my "royal duties" sitting with the duchess Benjamin, drinking tea and listening to her blabbing?! Mum, please!
- Stop it!
- What is it?
- Walk slowly and elegantly. And yes, staying with Benjamin is one of your royal duties.
- Oh my God! And what about her miracle tongue! If she expresses something she likes it, it's over! That thing will be destroyed!
- You are saying bullshit...
- I'm not saying bullshit! ... F**k this horrible ugly dress!
- Watch your sentences, girl! The queen of England gave us this dress as a present!
- As she's better than us and stronger!
- Try just for once to grow up and react as a real princess! Why are you the only princess who reacts stupidly and naively in this world!
- And I'm proud of!
- Look, Duchess Benjamin is an old friend, and it will be so rude if we cut our relation and friendship with her!
- I didn't ask you to finish our friendship with her, but I asked you to cut my relation with her! Don't you know what does she want to do?!
- She wants her son to marry you.
- Exactly! I don't want him! He's disgusting and I don't like him! And the worst, he doesn't fight! At least if you want to choose a man to marry me, choose a strong man! Who gets proud of a heroic act! Who cares about me and my career not about my money and my position! Who sacrifices everything for me!
- No one sacrifices his life for anyone.
- Didn't my father sacrifice his life for us? Hasn't my team sacrificed its life for me?
- You have to minimize watching romance movies.
- I watch action movies not romance movies. Haven't you heard yet that the princess of China quit her job and her title to marry someone who has a position less than hers?
- So she's idiot.
- She's not. Ralph says that the important thing to keep the relationship between a couple is to understand each other, love each other and never cheat each other.
- I don't care about what the old man is saying.
- You are peers.
- I don't care. Anyway, if you didn't choose the perfect man, and I repeat the perfect man, I'll be obliged to choose him by myself.
- Please don't... and who is the perfect man?
- The perfect man is the man who has a luxury position, from a king to a duke.
- Whatever.
- Why didn't you accept my suggestion? The French guy?
- What?! First, Frank is engaged to a "scorpion" called Christina. Second, I don't love him. Third, he doesn't want me! Fourth, he's arrogant and finally, he's not a king or president or duke, like you want.
- Of course he wants you! All men hope to marry a princess like you! Even if they hate you! And Frank is millionaire so no problem, he's like a duke or maybe richer than a real duke.
- How much times I have to say that I'm still young to marry?!
- You're not young! You're 27!
- If the damn man asked my hand, I'll shoot him.
- Don't do it! I'm warning you!
- I can do it: Actually I killed yesterday one of most dangerous drug dealers! And I'm proud of! You see? The person must have something to be proud of!
- You're princess and it's enough to be proud of.
- I become proud just of a title I owned since I was born?
- That's true... Why did I allow you to be a soldier?
- To protect myself from physical dangers.
- And why did I finance the abode?
- To execute my wish and so that I can perform the missions well.
- And what do I deserve?
- You deserve the thanks sincerely.
- And what should you do when you thank me?
- I should say "thank you" and that's all.
- No! You should stop annoying me and perform your royal duties!
The two women stop in front of a door.
- And now, please be a princess; we'll meet the duchess.
There are always in front of each door two guards. This time, one of them opens the door and screams: "Her majesty the Queen of the Earth and her highness the Princess of the heroes! Stand up for respect!"
The queen and her daughter get in the room, and the last one murmurs: "why should they even stand up?" The room has traditional multicolored furniture, between the door and the fireplace four red sofas on a green large carpet its color is the walls'. The duchess Benjamin who was sitting on one of sofas is a short old woman, white-haired, blue-eyed, hard-walking, arched back, wearing a tilted hat and a blue-sky dress. And her son, James, is tall, black-haired, a "heavy" mustache and black-eyed like the olive. When Mina meets him, she feels disgusting and she always prefers to not see him again. Four of them sit on the sofas and the duchess starts talking:
- Nice dress princess Mina! It's very beautiful!
The princess moves a bit and suddenly she hears the sound of her dress' splitting. So, she tells her mother lowly:
- See?
But the queen disregards her and continues speaking with her "old friend":
The queen: I'm so happy you visited us!
Mina: (muttering) The same sentence every time!
The duchess: Thank you your majesty! Me too! Actually Jimbo suggested visiting you! He insisted!
Mina: (muttering and laughing secretly) Jimbo... unbelievable...
The queen: Mina?!
Mina: Sorry.
The queen: Why, as your opinion, Jim I mean Sir James wanted to visit us?
The duchess: He wants to marry the princess!
Mina: What?!!
The queen: Mina?!!
Mina: (looking at James, angry) Sorry.
The queen: What about hanging together inside the house and letting them alone.
Mina: (muttering) ...Champs-Elysées...
The duchess: Why not? (She stands up and catches her son's cheek) Stay with the princess, Jimbo, I'll come back after a while, OK? Be nice with the princess!
The two old women get out, while James says:
- I'm sorry, she's my mother; she's always reacting as I'm a child.
- (pretending and smiling) It's OK...so... Do you want to marry me?
- Yes, I hope.
Abruptly, Mina takes a gun from her heel then she gets up rapidly and she points it toward the frightened man. Then she says and the gun is still in front of his face:
- Don't repeat saying this sentence to me and don't think about marrying me again or I'll kill you! Understood?!
- (Trembling) Understood...
- Am I making myself clear?!!
- Yes ma'am!
- Good! Now, don't mention anything to my mother, or to your mother or to anyone else, and if I heard anyone saying that I threatened you on this day in this time, I'll kill you! I don't want you! Why don't you understand?! So far, don't think about me or even getting close to me. Understood?!
Benjamin nods. Suddenly the two women get in, and they find Mina sitting on her sofa, smiling and talking to James who's still sweating. The princess says smiling as nothing happened:
- Wow! You came early! Why? We were having fun. Isn't James?
Mina looks at him smiling but scarily when the man is nodding and saying:
- Of course, we were having... fun...
Benjamin smiles and gets happy to hear that and says:
The duchess: Really?! We have to celebrate this beautiful news!
The queen: Good, let's sit and continue our conversation...
Mina: Mum!
The queen: What?!
Mina: I have some "fighting duties" to do!
The duchess: How? The princess should take care of herself and never participate in fights, only men participate in!
Mina: Oh my God! Some mercy!
Suddenly, Mina's phone rings; it's a call. She answers:
Mina: Hello? Who is it? ... Oh Ralph! Hi! ... A new mission? Finally! Who? Not the colonel again! Ok, I'm coming, saving or murdering? ... Both? Interesting... good... good ... where am I? In the castle with Ben I mean the duchess Benjamin... yes that one... yes her son is with her... I'll tell you everything later on Ralph, ok? Bye.
Mina ends the call then she says while she is walking toward the door:
Mina: Excuse me, I have a mission to perform, sorry mum I'm obliged to... And by the way, I won't marry this *%@%**/%*@ man!! Never!!
The princess leaves the room while the duchess queries as she heard nothing:
The duchess: They say that when a girl swears at a man means she loves him. Isn't your majesty?
But the queen says nothing...
In Kazakhstan...
