The next morning, Evelynn woke up to the sound of an intense argument. As she opened her eyes, she saw Damian engaged in a heated discussion with a girl who bore an uncanny resemblance to him. Evelynn's initial assumption was that this must be his sister, Crystal. Damian's words trailed off as Crystal suddenly turned to Evelynn with a mix of shock and curiosity.

"Ah, you're awake," Crystal said, her expression softening. "Sorry for the distraction." Crystal then smiled, her eyes sparkling with intrigue. "What's your name?"

Evelynn, still reeling from the unexpected scene, replied, "I'm Evelynn."

402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP67hSpvkB
Crystal's eyes widened in surprise. "Oh, Evelynn.. wait, EVELYNN ROSEWOOD?! Mhpp Mmhhpp!!!" she exclaimed, before quickly covering her mouth with her hand. Damian intervened, his voice low and urgent.

"Shh, we can't be discovered. The queen would never forgive us, especially since Mom and Dad aren't home. Keep silent," he whispered, his eyes blazing with a sense of urgency.

402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ReNdKhK8H
Crystal removed her brother's hand, her annoyance evident. "Yeah, yeah, whatever. But... no... no way... are you really a human?" she asked Evelynn, her smile faltering.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSd4fyYf4e
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxQuL3qNE0
Evelynn smiled gently. "I'm pretty sure I am, but why do you ask? Am I not normal-looking?"
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeidv8idcnT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTojmShZgrO
Crystal's eyes grew wide as she shook her head. "No, it's not like that at all... I mean... I've heard of you, Damian. Remember when we got lost in the Cave of Nova and found that strange language? You know, the one with the word 'Evelynn Rosewood' in it?"
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl1CXjXaD2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAN0RmF2Zf
Damian looked at his sister with a confused expression. "Huh... umm, yes... maybe. I forget, sis."
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9b8bk0k5s
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCBlyaI466
Crystal glared at her brother. "Ugh, you... after that discovery, I found a name... a very long name, with 'Evelynn Rosewood' in the middle. I searched for it and found old letters from the past leaders of Reaverrest, always mentioning your name. It's almost like a clue to something... And here you are!"
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQVUoeC08x
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FdDmYCcyd
Evelynn was shocked by this revelation and decided to ask, "Wow, that's really interesting... but I want to know... did you find any symbols or marks in those letters?"
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznSxsnTcRy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2Ky0EbHwQ
Crystal nodded eagerly, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Yes, yes... in every letter, there's a mark below the sentence: 'Will you let the painful truth out from the sweet lie?'"
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEa11rjMp4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDS9D84YRR
Evelynn continued the sentence, her eyes widening in shock. "'Or will you cover up the sweet lie from the hidden truth..."
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYEGN2IC2h
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbevkA8MAfL
Crystal was equally shocked. "Then... it must be true... You... you must be... One of the Specials of Reaverrest choice! You are a participant!"
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy11p0NL66
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFIVKT660s
Damian covered his sister's mouth again, his face full of happiness. "For the last time, stop shouting... but... it's... it's that true?"
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mmNXSOIty
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaAPTovbIJ
Evelynn shook her head. "No, no... let's not jump to conclusions too quickly. There might be another name that's the same, right?"
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM3lFRVKdm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv79xK7nCYo
Crystal nodded. "Well, I don't know... but last time I checked, the letter with the most mentions of your name was written by the last queen of Reaverrest, Queen Eleanor."
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAi5unBjKc
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUKe3AXXyD
Evelynn was speechless. How? Does this mean it is all true? What Evelynn dreams about is not just some random encounter but rather a life director?
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPBqPVikLh
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtb5aXMVFq
Evelynn, who was struck in her thoughts, suddenly a knock was heard from the bedroom door and without wasting any second, Evelynn hid under the bed.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbbGZ1IPAl
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCusuEHVfM6
Damian and Crystal were also shocked that someone was there and were in relief that Evelynn was that quick to hide herself.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGCL8PTCkF
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRZQD0uuSP
Damian then walked to the door and opened it, revealing to be Evelynn's father, who said, "Good morning there young boy, what are you doing, hmm? Breakfast is ready."
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLZkN1qNPo
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmHHt79EbJ
Damian nodded, "oh yes, um I will go down in a minute."
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCBPQYgSzG
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZmUUBZRGn
Then Evelynn's father looked at him with a more serious face, "don't forget to invite your sister and... I need to talk with you, after breakfast, alone. Yes?"
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJAA5dcWNl
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonfP02UD7V
For a second, Damian felt like he knew where this private conversation was going, but with his whole heart, he said to hide all the facts from his crush, Evelynn. He said, "yes, I'll be there.."
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul0ml0ejs5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp55r7z9jug
With that, Evelynn's father nodded and walked away as Damian closed the door behind him. He looked at his sister with an incredible scared face.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EEB1Pfb96
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLtgg2rvAV
"Crys, it's him... he wants to talk with me... probably, about Evelynn." Damian said with a worried expression as he looked at his sister and me standing up from under the bed.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmsr25OI76
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDMJ7i1o1L
"Who... wants to talk about me, Damian?" Evelynn asked with a confused, scared face.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyG7fszvJb
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjUwGCAhXH
Damian said, "your father..." Hearing him saying her own father wants to talk behind her only added to the heartache that already was.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGWyp72Lxa
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgx9em3UKf
Crystal nodded then said, "we will keep everything, don't worry. I may not 100% sure, but I know, there is something in you that isn't like anybody else, something inside that's special. And we cannot let you not, Right bro?"
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44QNb1yRvj
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEMDi0deh7
Crystal looked at her brother, who was already being a tomato due to how red his blush, Damian was probably thinking about things... about Evelynn again.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZmWVyUehd
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX67tYolQtj
Crystal then grabbed a pillow and threw it at him, "you pervert-minded, this is about her status. Nothing else Ugh for god sake, don't mind him, Evelynn."
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzfrmrdjlc
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wHWo6I6Ld
Evelynn just chuckled and nodded, "okay okay... but what should I do now? I can't be caught, but... I don't think being here all the time is also safe."
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSdkLyDDh5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQDWVUmIVH
Crystal nodded, agreeing. But then thought hard, where should Evelynn go. Suddenly Damian gave a suggestion, "how about we take Evelynn to our clubhouse in the backyard? The one who can go in only us, right?"
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCmnOYkk6g
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV16eErde7Q
Crystal then nodded in agreement, "yes yes, you should go there, Evelynn It's the safest place in this palace!"
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41SDwwXhmI
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCArmwlmBN1
Evelynn smiled, knowing that there were people who were willing to help her, she then asked, "wow, thank you, I appreciate this help. Um... where is this clubhouse you're mentioned?"
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSRPDjd94v
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQsHtntA5M
"Let me show you," Crystal walked to Damian's bookshelf and pushed one of the books, it instantly opened up a secret small passage.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwlktBZt9D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWyYMre949
Evelynn was shocked but also smiled softly, "wow... so cool..."
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3InFqvkmzS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H9IojKcKO
Then Damian said, "go in, okay. To close and open this passage, there will be a button inside... so you don't need to worry, okay." With a shy smile.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu0TveEccm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMERdtnULI
Evelynn nodded, "copy. Thanks a bunch guys... I can handle it from here."
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zoRaGFc5N
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwLIP58H17
With that, Damian and Crystal nodded, "we'll be right back, don't go out, okay."
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH87e40GGHo
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBncUp0ltO
Leaving the room as Evelynn went into the secret passage.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoB3j3dkAU
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbPnPnvzz9
Time skip, after the royal family had their breakfast, Evelynn's father stood up, signaling Damian.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJDVgfwASd
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcN79XVp91
With a heavy heart, Damian nodded before standing up, Damian glanced at Crystal and walked away following Evelynn's father to the palace hall room.
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfVtEJgWqH
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9enuRKVVX
After seating down in one of the sofas, Evelynn's father started the conversation, "so, Damian... how is your school, hm?"
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDooU3Pcwg
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPidODzijhE
Damian nodded, "it's fine... I have finished some of my projects."
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQadQV4Q6I
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGCgjsqpDI
Evelynn's father nodded, "good... so Damian, I wanna know... where were you yesterday evening?"
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXAMafJZH2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B6NJe7HFo
Hearing this made Damian sweat, his instincts were right, this conversation probably went in the name of Evelynn's loss from the dungeon. Damian answered, "oh, I... I was in my room, doing my homework."
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6vqhKhXW5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTWdgzMLj6
Evelynn's father looked at him with an expressionless face, he added, "mm... really? You sure you didn't participate in... doing something forbidden? Because you know... lying is never a choice isn't it... and you know I won't hesitate to tell the queen for a punishment if you do dare..."
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORB3b8DLdo
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWC3I2j9Ff
Oh dear, is this really the end? How will Damian answer this unwanted question and this threatening statement? Will he lie for the sake of his dream girl or... turn Evelynn down for his status and safety?
