*A barely dressed woman peaks her head out of a wardrobe in Duncan's room*
DUNCAN'S Lover:
"What hath I just witnessed!? I may be a mistress, but I hath seen a much greater sin!? Assassinated by the new Thane of Cawdor, king Duncan doth lay still forever more!"
*Footsteps can be heard outside heading towards the door, they stop just in front of them.*
DUNCAN'S Lover:
"Ah! I shall fetch the guards! I will merely say I was here for his laundry!"
*The woman puts her clothes back on before running towards the door, but she stops just short of it*
DUNCAN'S Lover:
"Oh! What is this treasonary speech I hear!?"
*She puts her ear to the door and more speech can be heard*
LAdy Macbeth:
"Dah! My foolish husband couldn't even do such! I told thou, all that was needed was a swipe of blood and the blade to be left amidst the crime. I ask for very little, yet he has made even that a trouble."
DUNCAN'S Lover:
"The lady of the house is in on it as well! What am I to do, the guards have been sullied, and no man shall take the word of a mistress to heart!"
*She puts her hand to her chin as she thinks for a moment*
DUNCAN'S Lover:
"Mayhaps there is another way.. Yes, I think, If I may come up with a plan as devious as my role, then maybe the king shall rest peacefully in the bask of avengement! I see! Fair Banquo is in line of the king. If I shall get him to see what has arisen, than I have no doubt he may bring those sinful Macbeths to light!"
*She opens the door carefully before grabbing the daggers and fleeing*
Scene ||

"Dear Fleance.. Seeing your peaceful manner doth bring life back to my war sullen heart.."
Fleance:
"What was that papa..?"

Banquo:
"Not much to pay attent to. Just an olden father speaking his mind."
*Duncan's lover runs in frantically towards them*
DUNCAN'S Lover:
"Oh braven Banquo! There be a matter of utmost importance retaining to thou!"
Banquo:
"Maiden there, please watch thy deceitful body in front of my young son!"
DUNCAN'S Lover:
"Worry not about that now! The king! the king hath been slain by none other than Macbeth!"
Banquo:
"Macbeth?"
DUNCAN'S Lover:
"Macbeth! He doth been slain by Macbeth! Pay a blind eye to me and fear the greater sin!"
Banquo:
"Oh dear lord, I know on the battlefield, he shed no drop of mercy..but to his own king!? He dare risk treason knowing what he knows! Fleance, I want you to run off to Macduff and send summon to the princes at once! and you.."
*He points at the woman dramatically*
Banquo:
"Show me fastly what sin you speak of! Run to him as you ran to me before!"

"Awake! Awake thee all! A tragedy as occurred! The king hath been slain where he sleeps!"

Guard 1:
"What is the reason for this noise!? And where is hemsworth, he has yet to return from his post."
servant:
"Hemsworth is a man of evil deeds! I have found him and Soren smothered in no other than the kings blood!"
Guard 2:
"You're serious!?"
Guard 1:
"You're sure the king is dead?"
servant:
"Yes oh yes! I found him still as rock, soaked in the crimson barrow of death!"
Guard 1:
"God's name! Where are those heathens now!?"
servant:
"They've been sent off to Macbeth whom shall decide their fate!"
Guard 2:
"Are you blundering!? He shall be executed precisely!!"
servant:
"I'm afraid not.. Macbeth hath been labeled as his heir until his sons are to be, so it is up to him!"
Guard 2:
"I will not stand for this! Let us see what the story shall hold for ourselves!"
*The guards leave and the servant continues to wake everyone*

Banquo:
"Dear lord it's true..."
DUNCAN'S Lover:
"I told you sire, now what shall you do?"
Banquo:
"I shall wait for Fleance to return with Macduff. I'm sure with his nobility we shall be able to stop this."
DUNCAN'S Lover:
"Yes... We shall. Their crimes shall not go unpunished, we will send him above to be judged by god himself."
Banquo:
"You are saying we shall execute him?"
DUNCAN'S Lover:
"I shall have it no other way. This is a sin that can not be forgiven."
Banquo:
"Is this not hypocritical of you to believe in?"
DUNCAN'S Lover:
"Mayhaps, but that's up to god to decide on."

Banquo:
"Macbeth. He hath murdered the king."
Macduff:
"He has done that!? Hath he not become content! Does he wish for trouble! Have you seen! What hath happened!?"
DUNCAN'S Lover:
"I was in the room sire.. Hidden in the wardrobe, I saw him slit his throat and stab his belly. I'm sure it was Macbeth, the lady was part of the crime as well."
Macduff:
"A woman? Are you sure?"
DUNCAN'S Lover:
"Yes thane. I saw her frame the guards, then we found not only the daggers, but the blood in their room.
Macduff:
"Dear lord... We can not let this allusion go on..."
