4 days after the explosion - Prince room

The prince almost sh-t his pants when he saw Elena in the room, almost. He had to think really fast how he would get out of this one without getting his face fuse to the wall after she was done with him

"hey Elena, how are you doing?"(prince)knowing full well that wasn't a good start, but he didn't have anything better

"Where were you?"(elena) ask while looking at the prince with dead eyes

"In a room alone reading a book?"(prince) Tried to use the story he had ready, knowing full well that it wouldn't work

"Riiiight, and why are you wearing a robe and glasses?"(Elena)

"Well, it was an adventure book, so I dressed the part to feel more in the world"(prince)

"Of course of course, you know? We saw someone REALLY similar to you on the streets, the similarities were almost shocking"(Elena)

"You know what they say, there are at least 5 guys that looks like you in the world"(Prince)

"Cut out the bullsh-t prince, We both know it was you on the street today!!!"(Elena) got close to him and put his index finger on his chest

"Well, I had to investigate a few things and I didn't want the guards follow me"(prince)

"Right... and that investigation includes drinking more alcohol than a monk?"(Elena) Smelling the alcohol in his breath

"Well, the best place to investigate is a bar, and in a bar you must drink...."(prince)

"-sight- I get it, you wanted a day off so you send us to town to get out of your back"(Elena)

"nonono, I really had something to do in town"(prince)

"It's ok, i get it, I won't hold it against you since I had fun, but I am disappointed in you, Lina was really looking forwards to spend some time with you. If you don't do something for her, I WILL make you pay"(Elena) left the room with a disappointed expression, the kind he was really used to.

Well, I guess I got away in one piece this time(prince) Tried to cheer up a bit but that face probably hurt him more than anything she could have done to him

5 days after the explosion - The palace

The prince didn't got up in the best of moods, not only he had to worry about a revolt, mysterious killers, and the reaction of the five girls the next morning, the prince had a killer migraine for all the drinking yesterday.

For now, the prince went to have breakfast and hoped the other girls won't plaster him to the wall. He found them chatting happily on the table(except for Susan, she had a poker face like always)

Well, it looks like they are getting along (prince) Wondering if his ass was on the line right now

"good morning"(prince) Acting casual while sitting on a chair

"good morning"(x5)the five girls responded to the greeting

Weird, they are not saying anything(prince)surprised there wasn't at least some level of killing intent, so he chose to play dumb until he knew more

"So did you girls have fun yesterday"(prince) playing dumb

"Yeah it was a lot of fun, we went shopping for cloth, we saw all kind of people and we even played hide and seek!!!:-) but we lost in the end :-( "(Lina) Starting really exited and then a little depressed at the end

"Oh, who were you playing with?"(prince) thinking that maybe she didn't know

"I don't know, some guy on a robe that Susan knew"(Lina) wondering

"Did you know him Susan?"(prince) kind of interested on how did he got found out, but after he said it, he realised it was a bad question at the moment

"He look like someone who I owned a favor, so I wanted to asking but he tried to escape so I chase after him and the rest follow"(Susan)without showing a hint of emotion

Did she mistake me for someone else or is she lying The prince didn't remember helping her in the past, and he was sure he never meet her before, so It couldn't only be a mistake on her part or a lie and she new it was him

"Did you girls found him or who he was in the end?"(prince) really hoping only Elena and the maid knew the truth

"No, the guy was really slippery, he even throw a smoke bomb at me to get away"(Aria) A little disappointed he managed to get away from her

The rest of the breakfast went on how they spend their day and the frustration of losing "that guy". They also ask the prince what he did for the evening, but he told them that he lock himself in a room and read some books(like he told Elena before)

"So prince, what are we doing today?"(Aria) was curious since she did have the duty to protect him, like it or not.

"Well, first I want to check something on Rebbeca's room, and later I plan to go to the magic university, do you want to come Lina?"(prince) did promise to take her out twice already, so he might as well annoy his sister a little

"Sure!"(Lina)answer really cheerfully

"But like I said, first I want to check Rebbeca's room, so let's go"(prince)

All of them got up from the table and started to head for the room, but before they got out from the dinner

"You girls go ahead, I want to speak a second with elena and I catch up in a second"(prince)wanted to find out why was Elena the only one that knew what really happen yesterday

"Fine, why the sudden interest in that cursed room?"(Aria)remember how she got knock out from that trap door

"I hear a strange current was sense from that room, so I want to check the walls for a breach or something"(prince)made a plausible lie

"Why waste our time searching for something pointless in an empty room?"(Susan) even flinched a little at that, making one of the few times the prince saw her show any emotion

weird, I wonder way she reacted(prince)

"why not? something you don't like?"(prince)deflected the question and tried to satisfy his curiosity

"Well...."(susan)acting a little nervous

This got the attention of all the girls, since they almost never saw her react to something

"come on tell us tell us"(Lina)

"yeah tell us"(Aria)

"I don't want to say it"(susan) acting shy for a change

"pleaseeeee"(lina)With begging eyes

"pretty pleaseeeeeee"(Aria)joining Lina in the begging

"I am afraid of ghosts"(Susan)give up

"EHH!!!!"(shouts x6)

"Rebbeca was famous for her strange experiments, I am sure if there is a ghost in this Palace, it is there, and who knows what kind of traps are there?"(Susan)

"IIII am suhuure theere arre no ggghost there, rright?"(Aria) Tattering her teeth while looking at the prince

"mmm, Susan has a point, why don't you check Aria, look for every inch of the room"(prince)smiling a little

"WHYYY ME!!!!"(Aria)

"You are the knight, It's your duty to protect the citizens from any danger, including the supernatural"(prince)

"Please, can't someone else do it?"(aria)

"sor.."(prince)"I will do it"(Susan) cut the prince off before he finish

"uh, weren't you afraid?"(prince)

"I must conquer my fears, so I want to take this chance to face them"(Susan)

"Fine, but make sure to check the wall and be careful of the traps and you aria protect Lina, she looks scare enough with all that ghost story's"(Prince)could see lina hugging her maids legs in fear a ghost would grab her.

"Now go, I still have to speak with Elena a second"(prince)

The 4 of them left, and only the prince and Elena stayed. The prince took her to one of the sound proof rooms and close the door.

"Why no one else knew I was the robe guy they were chasing yesterday?"(prince)didn't understand why they didn't know

"I didn't want to make Lina sad for ditching her yesterday"(Elena)

"And how did you know it was me?"(prince)

"Well, from the moment I saw your back, I thought he looked like you, and when he throw that smoke bomb, I knew it was you. And since I saw you with a bag, I was sure you would try to sneak to your room unnoticed, so I waited for you there"(Elena)Showing her deductive skills

"You should have being a detective"(prince) tried to make a joke

"I already feel like one, with all your daily crimes"(Elena) shakes her head in resignation

"yeah yeah, let's go to rebbecas room, they are waiting for us"(prince)didn't want to press the matter

They left the room and went to rebbecas, finding the 4 of them outside the room

"so?"(prince)

"I checked the room and moved the furniture, but I didn't find anything like you described"(Susan)

"really?"(prince) went inside before she could answer

The room was a little messier since all the furniture was moved, but he didn't saw a hole in the wall(or marks) like the dead girl said. He thought that maybe guisu lied, but then he notice the wardrobe was unmoved

"You forgot the wardrobe"(prince)pointing at it

"I was afraid that if I moved, a ghost would appear. Besides, I didn't feel any current from there"(susan) with her usual poker face

"Aria, go move it"(Prince)

"Wait, Whats the point? If you move it a trap may activate or a ghost may come out of it"(Susan)

"Yeah, Aren't you doing this to make me fall in another trap?"(Aria)Scared

"Prince I though I told you not to bully Aria anymore"(Elena)with an angry face

"Fine, I will do it"(prince) wasn't really scared of a trap since he was pretty sure the hole was there.

The wardrobe was heavier than he expected, but he did manage to move it and he found what he was looking for. Behind it you could clearly see that the wall had been cut with half a circle shape. The prince tried to push it but he found resistance and since It was moving little by little it wasn't the wall that was suck but more like something else was on the other side. He thought about pushing more or go to the room on the other side, but instead...

"Aria, lend me your sword a second"(Prince)

"Why?"(aria)

"Just hand it to me"(prince)

"Fine"(Aria)took out her sword and hand it to the prince

The prince stab the sword side ways on the cut part of the wall and use the sword as a lever to pull it.

All the girls were shocked went they saw the prince take a part of the wall with the sword and got closer to see what was going on.

"Why did you break the wall?"(Elena)

"It was already broken, I just move it"(Prince)

"Eh, How was it broken?"(aria)

"By someone to steal Rebbeca's stuff obviously"(prince)

The girls were shocked again at the statement, and you could see them trying to figure out the implications of what the prince just said

"But who would do something like that, where does the hole takes you"(Susan)

"To Jorge room"(prince)
