STORY: [title]

Debate:

• The Protagonist are the royal children who want to escape and flee from the abusive King's control. They want to get away from royal traditions, and find a safe place and loving people who will accept them.
• The Antagonist is the King, who wants to keep the protagonist for his own benefit. He wants to keep his dignity in the city by making it seem he has a happy royal family, but secretly he takes advantage of them, abusing them and using them as slaves in the castle. He also abuses them for the reason that they are not his biological children. 
• Story moral - safety and happiness is more important than following traditions. 
• Inciting Incident - protagonists get threatened. The king wants to make his son a prince, but sell off his daughter to marry another royal family.
