TERRAVERDE PALACE*

"Rook!" Romeo and Juliet ran after him immediately.

Jeremy on the other hand bursted into an hysterical laughter, walking out of the room with his two hands in pockets.

He went downstairs where more than thirty Titans are.

They take in new members everyday, so the ones that died in Forte got replaced already.

"Say cheers to your new leader!" His voice came loudly, and everyone of them stood in apprehension.

"Jeremy?" A girl scoffed, dropping her smoke.

Romeo and Juliet came back, and they scoffed in unison.

"Jeremy?"

"Your new leader" Jeremy scoffed back, getting a gun from his back pocket__Rue's gun.

He raised it up and shot it in the air thrice.

"Argue, or die" he grinned.

Silence fell in the circle.

TERRAVERDE PALACE*

Rebekah woke up late.

The first class today is by 12, so she still has the time.

She was sweeping up her hair in a pony as she descended the stairs, but a maid rushed up to her, getting behind her quickly.

"I'll do it, your highness" she took the hair to roll gently, and Rebekah just had to calm down so she won't combust.

She dislikes this much attention.

The maid finished up, and she went downstairs.

• Good morning, princess.

• Good morning, your highness.

The greetings from the numerous maids made her cringe as she made her way to the dinning.

She stopped by the door when she saw Elsa is in with the king already, and she's currently serving him by herself, acting like the best wife-to-be in the world.

Rebekah rolled her eyeballs, folding her palms into fists as she imagined her late mother in that position.

Tears were already stinging her eyes when a head was placed on her shoulder from behind.

"This is only the beginning. Trust me it'll get worse when they get married in one month, are you up for it, princess?" Axel's voice asked.

She shook him off, and he chuckled as she left for the kitchen.

She was about to get herself some bread from the freezer when a maid came in to serve her that too.

"I don't need you, leave!!" She yelled.

The maid rushed out with a flinch, and Axel came in.

"Harsh" he crossed his legs at the ankle, leaning on the doorframe.

"None of your business" she muttered, opening the freezer to finally get her bread.

Her phone fell, and she picked it with a scowl, but then her eyes caught the news preview on screen.

She stood straight before reading.

• The King of Terraverde announces his second wedding to a lady of high esteem and...

She turned off the phone quickly, sighing out before biting her tongue, then she walked fast to Axel.

Axel remained in his position, but his eyes couldn't help but notice her chest...

She's not wearing a bra yet, so the breasts are a little bit transparent in the pyjamas material.

Rebekah stretched her hand forward, and he looked at it.

"I'm in, let's stop the wedding" she said.

A tricky smile crept to his lips as he took the hand.

"Now you're talking"

Rebekah smirked as their hands embraced.

WILSON'S MANSON*

Pearl just knew it when she woke up.

What happened last night wasn't a dream, Roonie came into her bedroom to pull her out of her nightmare again just like he did at Forte.

And the fact that her room smells like him is another evidence.

He even cleaned up the mess of half-eaten apples she left on the ground and shutdown her laptop for her...he must have stayed for long.

How is he even able to hack into her house when the door is always securely locked?

If only her parents knew, that their door has been reduced to fake by a particular devil.

She couldn't help the smile that leapt to her lips as she dragged her phone out of the duvet to text him.

Pearl: You came again last night... Criminal.

Roonie is always active, he's always with his phone so she expected him to reply immediately, but he didn't.

"Strange" she muttered, watching it for three more minutes before deciding to delete the text.

Her eyes went to the bottle of tequila and box of red apples beside her shoe rack.

She bought the two like Rebekah said, but she hasn't been chanced to give them to him.

Should she go to the Loft?

She was thinking about it as she left the room, going downstairs.

"Pearl bby you're awake!" Tate came out of the kitchen in her apron and the usual french twist on her hair.

She's holding a small spoon containing the soup she's cooking.

Pearl opened up, and she fed her the soup.

"Mmm... Tasty. You still cook the best soup, Ma"

"I know, right? How was your night, baby?" Tate kissed her scattered hair fondly.

"Lovely" Pearl kissed her back on the cheek.

"You look happy this morning, what's the secret?" Tate winked.

"Nothing" Pearl grinned.
