A curse on both their ruinous house’s, does their decadence have no limitations? I shall see these traitorous men who call themselves noble hung for this! For it is the feud between the Capulet’s and Montague’s that has destroyed most of the farmland of this once fine city.

Soldier:
My Prince, we have found many nobles and peasants alike who are dead. The lords and ladies of both the Montague and Capulet families have been found dead along with the rather surprising revelation that Romeo died near the Capulet tomb and Juliet also passed for a second time.
Prince:
Are any of you here aware of why Romeo and Juliet where found dead near the Capulet tomb.
Balthasar:
I am aware of the circumstances of their deaths my lord. Romeo informed me that we were to make haste to the Capulet tomb where he was to rescue Juliet who had previously been found dead. As we attempted the rescue a number of peasants attacked and Romeo fought them bravely until his death. Juliet upon seeing Romeo dead decided to take her own life and soon after I fled.
Prince:
Why is it that Romeo went to rescue one of his enemies?
Balthasar:
They were lovers who married shortly before the death of Mercutio.
Prince:
Is anyone present aware of why Juliet was found dead
