"Why don't you try it instead?" Harold suggested to Alicia when he noticed her interest in whatever it was the shaman was doing. "I'm more curious to hear what he will say about you," She said eagerly as she pushed him to the front, while the others watched curiously to see if Harold was going to do as she said. "Do you think he might be real?" Harvey asked Alicia curiously since she was the witch amongst them. "There is no way to know if we don't try again," Alicia said before poking Harold's…

Even though most of the villagers were more focused on other things, they could not help but throw curious glances at them. In order to not draw any more attention to themselves, Harvey suggested they all change into common clothing like the rest of the villagers, so they would easily blend in and mix with the crowd. Susan was excited about it, hoping this was a chance to finally change into an article of clothing like the one Alicia was wearing. As they tried to find the nearest clothing store, they…

Harold, Alvin, and Harvey were all used to being out, so this was nothing special to them. However, that wasn't the case for Lance. One, he didn't leave his residence at night. Two, people were just carelessly bumping into him! Nobody was bowing, running away, or creating a path for him. However, they did receive strange looks from passersby, and that was because of the expensive fabric they wore. Lance wasn't sure how to feel about the way he was being treated now. He was very annoyed. But on the…

It was difficult for most of them to believe that they were still in the same Moon Kingdom. Wasn't it ironic that they were nobles, yet they hadn't experienced the fun part of life? They could see the village from the hill where they were. It was already late in the evening, but torches and lanterns lit up the whole place. People were buying and selling all manner of things. There were different shows and performances happening, and there was a group playing tricks with fire. They could hear the people…

The king, who was still grieving for his first son, had "suggested" for him to leave the palace every evening before his shift until they found the solution. At least he was kind enough to provide some guards for him who wouldn't let him wander too far. They made him a cot away from the palace where he had to stay, and Alvin was always there with him, feeding him meals and medicine whenever he shifted back the next day. He had asked Alvin to leave several times because he had injured the young lad more…

Different thoughts were running through Alicia's head as Harvey told her about the conversation they had the last time at the pavilion in the palace. She sighed when Harvey finished, not knowing what to say or think. "Can I ask you a question?" Harvey asked hopefully. "If it's about what happened to Beth, I still don't remember," she said, and Harvey shook his head. "No, it's not that. Earlier... when you were talking with Prince Harold, you mentioned that something happened some time ago. What…

Before Williams could stop her, she hurried towards them. Alvin sighted her from his end and followed suit to stop her, but her distance was shorter, which meant she would get to them first. She was curious to know how far they had gone in putting things together. She was too far into this now, so she needed to know all the clues they were trying to gather. And seeing how Harvey was involved with them, she wanted to know what he had with them. As soon as Harold saw her, he excused himself from Alicia and…

Everyone continued to look at Lance without saying a word, as they tried to figure out why he reasoned and behaved the way he did. "You do not expect me to dress shabbily, do you?" Lance asked in a calmer tone. "Do you have friends?" Williams asked him, but Lance waved it off. "Everyone feels intimidated by me," he informed them. Paulina sighed in distress for him. What kind of life was that? "What was that?" Lance looked at her, shooting a brow up. "Eh?" Paulina looked up at him in fear when he…

"HOW DARE YOU? YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO GET THE ARISTOCRATS ON YOUR SIDE! YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE NICE TO BENEDICTA! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? WHAT HAS COME OVER YOU?" She shrieked. Although she was tempted to hit him again, she didn't. "What is wrong with me?" Ivan asked with a dry chuckle. "LUCIANA IS OUT THERE!" He pointed in the direction of the palace gate. "And so what? What business of yours is that?" The Queen asked, struggling to control her temper. "She is my wife and she is out there with Harold!…

Back in the palace, one would think Ivan was joking about leaving despite Harold's orders until he was seen mounting his horse with a sword in hand. The news flew around the palace quickly, and before he could move even an inch, a crowd of people ran out of the palace doors, blocking his path as they looked at him in anger. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?" The minister of justice bellowed at him in anger. Seeing this interruption, Ivan frowned but didn't get down from his horse, as he eyed all of them…
