The Tyrant(fictional writing)

[Preety_India]

This is Peony's strategy of survival.

 

 

Jagat is heartless.

He wants total power, total control.

Will he be able to get what he wants?

Will Peony submit to his constant gestures and manipulations to get her ?

 

 

 

[Preety_India]

Peony might be standing somewhere in her flowery dress.

 

[Preety_India]

Maybe Jagat will change one day.

Right now his eyes are on Peony.

 

[Preety_India]

Scene cuts to a vivacious dance sequence by one of the court dancers hired by  Reym 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Preety_India]

 

 

 

Court dancers put all effort and charm into seducing both Reym and Jagat so they would marry them and they would get to be a part of the royal family. Gold diggers all of them with eyes on the royal wealth.

The dance sequence is interspersed with images of Jagat fantasizing forcing  himself  on poor Peony. 

He wants Peony at any cost.

 

[Preety_India]

Peony contemplating if she should put an end to her misery by drinking poison.

 

 

[Preety_India]

Scene cuts to Peony entering the main hall of the palace. A large hall adorned by pillars and chandeliers.

Such beauty and wealth. Peony is a poor woman raised in poverty. Such wealth is alien to her.

She cannot even make sense of why a rich royal like Jagat has set his eyes on her when he can have a bevy of rich ladies waiting to for a chance with him.

But Jagat won't let go..

 

[Preety_India]

I'll have to write all of this in bits and pieces and in scenes.

100 scenes. 

I think the plot will run into 300 scenes. It will be exhausting if it goes that long.

But I'll try to do it scene by scene.

Like 10 scenes at a time extending to a total of 100 scenes in batches.

 

[Preety_India]

 

Scene cuts to Peony entering the main hall of the palace. 

When she stands there, Jagat throws some ink at her to humiliate her.

She stands there like a stoic statue, but she appears as though she is about to faint. She is feeling ill and exhausted.

The poison did make her feel ill but didn't kill her. She wishes she was better off dead.

Dialogue scene

Jagat - did you see this palace? It can be all yours only if ........

Peony - *looks at him curiously*

Jagat- if you give yourself to me. 

Peony - *shrugs nervously and looks away.*

Jagat - think again Peony.

Peony - I'll never be your sex slave. You can't have me. You can have my corpse.

Jagat - you're dragging this. You'll be mine. You'll regret saying no. No girl ever says no to me.

Peony - never. Never. 

Jagat - you're out of your mind. I can forgive your innocence. But my heart has taken a fancy to you. I won't let you go easily. First you need to be mine.

Peony - what is left of me?

Jagat- a lot....................

Peony - You'll have none.

Jagat - you protest too much 

Peony - I'll protest till I die.

Jagat - before you die, you'll be in my arms begging for my affections.

Peony - why don't you let me go ?

Jagat - Do you remember how you once blamed me for liking paper flowers?

Peony- *stares at Jagat.

Jagat - well.....now I've a wild flower in front of me. I don't want to play with paper flowers anymore. I want this beautiful wildflower.

Peony - I'm not beautiful

Jagat - in some ways you are. You still have that spark that I love about you. Come to me and I'll make you happy.

Peony - *looks away

Jagat - I'll give you whatever you want. All your wishes will be fulfilled. Whatever you want, and I'll give you. Just anything. If you be mine....say yes

Peony - no.........I want nothing.

Jagat- that's too sad. You refuse to accept me. You resist too much. But it's no big deal. I'll have you anyway. And if I don't, nobody will.

Peony - *turns her back to Jagat. Stares at the large doors and pillars looking for a way out of the place.

Jagat - there's no escape. You're here.....only not in my arms yet.

Peony -

Dialogue scene

Peony - what do you want from me? Why do you want me?

Jagat- my heart is on you. I can't get you out of my mind. You're like a wildflower I need to adorn my palace with. I want you. I want to have you. You're my pleasure.

Peony - *feels his sexual tension. Tries to shrug it off.

Jagat - anyway you don't have an option now. Either give into me or else......

Peony -  there are people who will save me.

Jagat -  *(laughs in a scoffing manner.)  Well who are these people?

Peony - Paneet. He will save me. He is my best friend. He will rescue me from your brutality.

Jagat - ohhhhhhhhh....... Ha... it's good you told me that. Now I can get rid of him.

Peony  - (*a dreadful look on her face)......no!!!! You won't. You can't kill him. Please no. 

Jagat- *laughs chewing on his cigar.

Peony - I'll do whatever you want, but please don't kill him.

Jagat- really? Whatever I want? Was it this easy ? I should've done this earlier then. So you're ready to come to me?

Peony - *feels upset and confused. Feels like saying no but is hesitant not wanting to anger Jagat.

Jagat - *firm expression.

Peony - I'll never be your sex slave. What will you do at most? Kill me ?  I'll die but you can't have me..

Jagat- think again. You're cute. I won't hurt you. don't be scared, I'm no lion(*laughs in a belittling manner)

Peony- I won't come to you. 

Jagat - if you start dancing,then stop dancing. You need to seduce me. You need to learn to impress me,your master.

Peony - I won't 

Jagat - I like your arrogance. I can punish you for that, in the bed.

Peony - why do you want me so bad?I'm just a......a poor village girl. What have I done ? What is my crime?

Jagat - the more you resist,the worse it'll get. I want you. You excite me. Your body ,the way you move, your eyes, you're too wild, you need to be tamed. I need to be your tamer. You're mine and not for one night, this is forever.i  won't let you go. I can wife you if you want me to, or.....we can just do this between us, anything you want. But you drive me crazy. I can be your protector, if you come to me,I won't harm you. But if you refuse, then maybe I'll be forced to follow other plans. Think. 

Peony - leave me alone. Let me go. I can't be yours. 

Jagat - you're already mine.

Peony- I want nothing from you 

Jagat - but I want something          .....from you.

Peony - what if I don't do what you want?

Jagat - then a cage of lions will be waiting in your honor. I'm not easy to play with. I'm fire. You play, you get burned. 

Peony- what will you achieve by killing me?

Jagat - I won't find much use for you if you aren't with me. Just how things work. Make up your mind. Either you give up or give in..

I'll make you my queen. 

Peony - I've lost myself. It's a Brutal world. I beg you. 

Jagat - ummm, no.nah.you can't beg your way out of this. There is no way other than the only way - and that way is to dance your way into my arms. Seduce me. Let me go crazy. Let me touch you. Let me kiss and taste you a bit. I can have you as much as I want, if you allow me to.

Dialogue scene script

Jagat - look, my friends might need my help right now.  So i'll leave you here to contemplate on this. You've absolutely nothing to worry. You don't need to be scared  of me,  especially if you obey me. You don't have to  worry about anyone, or anything. Nobody can hurt you if you're with me.  Not even Reym can  hurt you.  You would be my Queen. I don't want to force myself on you so I ask you politely. 

 

Peony - there is an irony to your clause.

Peony looks down at the floor. 

Peony - you can't protect me. You won't protect me. 

Jagat - if only you had tried me.  You rebel. That's what I like. And I'm going to conquer that. 

Peony - I don't like you 

Jagat - you might want to change that. 

Peony - you're cruel 

Jagat - you aren't exactly pleasant. 

Peony - you can't capture me and hold me hostage.  

Jagat - your charming ways have held my heart hostage. 

Peony - that's not my fault. 

Jagat - neither is it mine. 

Peony - let me go

Jagat - sure...... *laughs.
