OctPoWriMo 2016: Day 6: The Dramatic Monologue of King Qweh of West Zecor



The Dramatic Monologue of King Qweh of West Zecor

Ondina, does my intuition deceive me?
Can it be that you are finding tantalizing
That ridiculous mockery of a man
That abomination brought to you in jest

In his presence, you seem flighty
Behaving in a manner not at all befitting
A princess of West Zecor
I assure you that misery is in store for both you and he
If you continue behaving as a lovestruck maid

We should have been wed, my sister
Once you dreamed of bringing glory to Zecor at my side
You would have been my virtuous virgin bride
You chose the voice of misguided conscience over ruling our world together

Do not believe for a moment that my heart is broken
I believe not for a moment in such folly as true love
Your idealism will be your downfall, Sister
If you think you have found true love 
With a lowly thief dragged from the gutters

He is less to me than excrement
I would not hesitate to send him to his grave
With me, you could have had everything
I care not for such foolishness as love

But you dishonored me, foolish Sister
And now my only goal is to destroy
Everything dear to you
Ondina, before this is over, you will beg me for mercy

You will swiftly discover that there is no mercy to be had

King Qweh to the Princess Ondina

Form: Dramatic Monologue

Be cool, Fool.
Don't be rude, Dude.
Don't be a prick, Slick.
That's all, Saul.
I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops and I share links where possible to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and such so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
