TEAL'S ROOM*

"I'm sorry. I didn't want it to get out yunno. I'm a princess, and the moment my father finds out, I dunno what to expect at the palace" Rebekah replied.

"And you think you're safe right now? I'm sure Rue will blow it beyond, proportion and His Majesty would have heard" Lizzy said.

"I'll handle that when we get back to Terraverde, but for now can you girls just forgive me? Huh?" Rebekah hung her arms on their shoulders.

"Having my friend in a frat club is cool, you should teach me useful fighting skills" Lizzy said, and Rebekah laughed.

"I'm not saying anything till Pearl wakes up. If she forgives you, then who am I?" Morgan said, and Rebekah pecked her.

"I love you girls"

"So you didn't faceoff to Banks because you're a princess, it's because he's your boss. You guys know how to conceal" Lizzy said.

"Tell me about it " Morgan replied, and Rebekah laughed as they all returned to the lodge.

She fished out her phone when it chimed, and she sighed when she saw a new text from her father.

Royal Father: I sent a jet over, get on it and come back home, now!

"I knew it, he got the news" Lizzy said.

"Darn" Rebekah muttered, holding her forehead.

HYCE'S ROOM*

The camera in Roonie and Pearl's room is currently connected to Axel's system, and he's checking out the footage of when Pearl was unchained.

Hyce is behind him, and their eyes are trained sensitively on the screen, watching closely.

Suddenly, they saw the trenchcoat and vans person coming in.

"That's the bastard!" Hyce said, and Axel quickly pressed pause, zooming on the face.

Unluckily, the face is covered completely with a white chiffon scarf.

In fact, no single part of the body is out as he walked into the bathroom and unlocked the chains

He did it perfectly, no mistakes at all.

"Shit, he's smart, and you're right, it's a male" Axel suddenly said, rewatching the footage to study the walking steps.

The person walks like a male for real.

"Now that he did a clean job once again, what's next?" Hyce asked.

"We take him serious" Roonie's voice came from behind them, and they both stood to see him standing there.

He has been watching silently.

"You mean we've been playing with him since he started?" Axel said.

"Yeah. It's like a chess game, winning is never by luck" Roonie replied bluntly, and Axel shut down the laptop.

"Shall we draw a plan then?" Hyce smiled.

TEAL'S ROOM*

Isaac came in with a cup of water which he handed over to Teal who's sitting in bed

She took it and drank little before returning the cup.

Isaac knelt in front of her, watching her closely.

"Don't worry, I only find it hard to digest food, not water. I'm not gonna vomit" she said, and he smiled.

He raised his hand to her lips to wipe the water, but she bent back and wiped it herself.

He sat beside her, his arm bumping into hers in the process.

She cringed in pains, and he quickly took her arm.

"I'm fine!" She tried to take it from him, but he raised her blouse anyways, revealing the redness of her elbow.

She hurt it when Roonie pushed her earlier.

"How did this happen?" He asked with concern, getting a healing balm quickly.

"I fell" she lied, moaning as he rubbed the bruise.

"Sorry, geek" he said.

Teal chuckled, stroking her hair shortly.

She dropped her hand after a while, but he took it and placed it back on his head.

"Can you do it again?" He whispered.

"Don't be silly" she dropped the hand again, and disappointment flashed across his eyes as he started closing the balm.

"Isaac" she suddenly called, and he looked up.

"You know I can't live without you, right?" She muttered.

"Me too" he replied.

She smiled widely.
