“Hey! Mitchell, I know where Lily is!”said Chloe.
You look at Chloe and she signals you not to speak, so you hold back.
Chloe takes Mitchell to the secret base. Mitchell looks rather surprised when he sees this.
“You do have a secret base! What Jessica said is true…”said Mitchell.
“Now he knows everything. Jessica, what do you think we should do?”said Chloe.
“Hey, Mitchell, please don’t tell this to anyone else.”said you.
“I don’t believe him.”said Chloe.
Mitchell becomes tense.
“Whatever you do is nothing to do with me. I only want to get Lily back. I won’t tell what I’ve seen here to a soul!”said Mitchell.
“Really?”said Chloe.
“Yes, I promise!”said Mitchell.
“Right, Lily is over there.”said Chloe.
Chloe points somewhere and Mitchell goes over to check. However, he is knocked out by a hunter who suddenly appears.
“What are you doing!”said you.
“Do you have a better idea?”said Chloe.
When Mitchell comes to his senses, he has already been tied up and locked in with Lily.
“Lily, are you alright?”said Mitchell.
“I’m fine. Why are you also locked in here?”said Lily.
“I came to find you but…”said Mitchell.
“Well, take your time to have your romantic date. Until the night of the full moon comes, I’ll have to make you two stay here.”said Chloe.
Chloe finishes talking and walks out. Only you, Mitchell and Lily, who are both tied up, remain in the secret base.
“What on earth are you up to!”said Mitchell.
“I’m so sorry. We are actually saving this town.”said you.
You tell them about Derek’s plot.
“If it’s true, let us go and I’ll help you.”said Mitchell.
“No, I don’t have the final say in this matter. I’m sorry, but you’ll just have to make do here.”said you.
“I always treat you as my friend! But I didn’t expect you…”said Lily.
“There’s no use in me saying anything now! Please believe me this last time! “said you.
You finish speaking, turn away and walk out decisively. You can’t wait to see this thing finished with.
You have been rehearsing for several days and tonight is the night of the full moon. However, you are suddenly told that Derek won’t attend to the play.
“Mr. Derek, why don’t you attend to the play tonight?”said you.
“Haha, I’m happy as long as you can have fun. I prefer being quiet.”said Derek.
“How could this be possible! You’re the king here and your presence gives it special meaning! Without you, the show can’t go on!”said you.
“But I do have something I’m busy with.”said Derek.
“It turns out you’re a liar!”said you.
“Where has this come from?”said Derek.
“You said that the people’s happiness is the most important thing. Now all the dwellers need you but you want to abandon them!”said you.
“I see. What I’m doing is also for the town. Please understand this.”said Derek.
“If you don’t attend tonight, I’ll take everyone to the city nearby to perform it! I think everyone must be willing to go there!”said you.
“You can’t do that!”said Derek.
“Then you must attend!”said you.
Derek looks at you and becomes hesitant.
“Well, okay then, but I might not stay until the end.”said Derek.
“Haha, it’s enough for you to just show up at the opening.”said you.
“You win! You’d better not let me down tonight.”said Derek.
“Rest assured. I promise you’ll be satisfied!”said you.
It’s getting dark and people are gradually gathering in the streets of the town. You are extremely nervous. The whole thing is almost finished, though you keep feeling uneasy.
You hope there are no accidents! Everything will be fine!
As you are praying, you see Chloe walking over to you. She looks kind of tense.
“How are the things here?”said Chloe.
“There’s nothing strange. It’s going smoothly so far.”said you.
“That’s fine.”said Chloe.
“You look a bit tense…”said you.
Chloe looks at you, feeling a bit embarrassed.
“Is there anything wrong?”said you.
“Lily and Mitchell knocked out several of our guards and escaped.”said Chloe.
“What!?”said you.
“Don’t worry. I know Mitchell. He won’t do anything rash. I guess he’s hiding somewhere nearby and observing us.”said Chloe.
“”I hope so… well, did you see Joseph Edward?”said you.
“Nope, I haven’t seen him for several days. I thought he was with you.”said Chloe.
“What!”said you.
“Come on! Don’t be so nervous. Calm down! None of these things are important. Everything’s fine as long as our plan goes smoothly.”said Chloe.
Chloe then leaves but you have lost all your confidence. Meanwhile Felton happens to walk over.
“I didn’t expect that you and Chloe were getting along. You’ve started chatting.”said Felton.
He actually just saw it. You can’t make him suspect anything.
“After all we both are concerned about the town.”said you.
“That’s nice.”said Felton.
“Why have you come so early?”said you.
“His Majesty asked me to come first.”said Felton.
“Then when will he come?”said you.
“He should be here in a minute. He said he won’t delay your opening.”said Felton.
“Good. Go and take a rest. It’ll start in a short while.”said you.
“It’s alright. I’ll just wait here.”said Felton.
You walk away from Felton and arrange every detail attentively. You are so afraid that something might go wrong. Before long Derek finally shows up.
“Hey! Miss Jessica, how’s everything going?”said Derek.
“We’re waiting for you to host the opening.”said you.
“Good. Well done!”said Derek.
Derek picks up the microphone and begins giving a speech to the whole town.
“I want to thank you sincerely. This town has become what it is today all thanks to your support.”said Derek.
At this moment people are cheering loudly. Derek signals them to be quiet and continues to speak.
“This town belongs to everyone. Although you call me a king, my true identity is of a man at your service. My daily work is to make you have fun here.”said Derek.
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”said Felton.
Felton takes the lead in cheering for the king, so all the others also follow Felton’s lead and shout. Derek waves his hand happily.
“My only aim is to do my best to make our town better. However, some people here seem to want to prevent me from doing this.”said Derek.
What Derek says makes you feel scared. You glance at Chloe standing beside you. She signals you to calm down.
“Have we been exposed?”said you.
“Calm down. It’s still not certain.”said Chloe.
“But among those people, someone feels that he has made some mistake, so he told me everything. He is our hero! Now let’s welcome him in pointing out who these people are who are scheming against us.”said Derek.
Could it be Mitchell…?
Just then, a hunter, one of Chloe’s subordinates, goes over to Derek.
“They are Chloe and Jessica. They are undermining our beautiful paradise.”said the hunter.
Just then, everyone starts glaring at you.
“You betrayer!”said Chloe.
“Chloe, I’m so disappointed in you. You’re actually betraying me. All your ambushers are under my control. I know your entire plan!”said Derek.
“You are the only who’s running this place! It is you who are going to sell the town!”said Chloe.
“You are still trying to mislead everyone!”said Derek.
After saying this, Derek turns to you.
“As for Miss Jessica, you must have been misled. So if you regret and correct your mistake now, I won’t blame you.”said Derek.
“Dream on! I didn’t anticipate that you would be so shameless!”said you.
“Well then, don’t blame me!”said Derek.
