    😍 Betraying Korth Mini Musical 😍

    Some of my readers made their own MUSICAL of Betraying Korth!!!

    Scene 1: The Mutiny

    Dahlia hates royalty, so when she takes Odette’s place her friend jokes: “You’re a nice girl, but your princess is showing” (In other words, you’re not so nice now you’re a royal”)


    Odette protests “That’s not fair!” and Dahlia replies: “But that’s how it’s going!”


    “Right & wrong, cruel & kind, who’s to say?” (But Dahlia’s determined not to be cruel like Odette!)


     “Every choice, you’re gonna find, there’s shades of grey”

    Odette resumes scrubbing as she muses: “Life’s a complicated game it seems” 


    And Dahlia reminds her “Sometimes you can’t afford to play it clean!”


    The mutineers agree: “You’ve gotta get your hands dirty, just jump headfirst into the mess. Gotta get your hands dirty, give it your worst, give it your best! Bad & good, shouldn’t & should, isn’t always black & white, gotta get your hands dirty to get it right! Alright? Alright!”



    Scene 2: Choices

    A few weeks later, Dahlia explains to Prince Korth that wrong can be right as they debate in the library:


    Dahlia: Right & wrong, cruel & kind, who’s to say?
    Korth: There’s a code that I believe in!
    Dahlia: Every choice, you’re gonna find there’s shades of grey!
    Korth: There are rules for a reason!
    Dahlia: Robin Hood?
    Korth: Yeah?
    Dahlia: Awesome guy!
    Korth: Yeah!
    Dahlia: You’d agree!
    Korth: But he stole for the poor!
    Dahlia: So you could then cross that line, theoretically! The decision’s always up to you, when there’s only one thing left to do!
    Korth: But just how far do you go? How much do you compromise? Oh tell me, how do you know? Where do you draw the line?
    Dahlia: There’s nothing I wouldn’t do, if my heart tells me it’s right, if it’s for someone I love - if it’s to save a life!
    Korth: To save your life!

    The musical ends with a photo of Dahlia & Korth on a bridge.
