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."

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.

741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyHa8Ho1pQ
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.
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz6ZbnLzog
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO4uVSgqjJ
Evelynn smiled gently. "I'm pretty sure I am, but why do you ask? Am I not normal-looking?"
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreWYPJLC9g
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1DEmmPSql
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?"
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwn3tPitg7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzTuVRjlzZ
Damian looked at his sister with a confused expression. "Huh... umm, yes... maybe. I forget, sis."
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGucBqQW1o
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy2KrmKN0L
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!"
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBkLMTVIRT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI152HAEv9A
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?"
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFYxol8EGI
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yyBOFjcan
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?'"
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID3zY0TCky
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFqbRBzALR
Evelynn continued the sentence, her eyes widening in shock. "'Or will you cover up the sweet lie from the hidden truth..."
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8g2ryU52H
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VJAFa98Ea
Crystal was equally shocked. "Then... it must be true... You... you must be... One of the Specials of Reaverrest choice! You are a participant!"
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCWvfxXFoj
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvDsBQOnGR
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?"
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA4mYu6OZq
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Kn7p3EebU
Evelynn shook her head. "No, no... let's not jump to conclusions too quickly. There might be another name that's the same, right?"
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRmkIdQC1T
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuuQ9frpdH
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."
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty0eUxrttn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbvRiQQrEN
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?
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9odlPnqNzP
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBtWVjC4xq
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.
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqnuoroP4I
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFyzqWD3V0
Damian and Crystal were also shocked that someone was there and were in relief that Evelynn was that quick to hide herself.
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCTCfWk5un
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkvtOh4UuP
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."
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WGUEF2c2j
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgfOW8voWb
Damian nodded, "oh yes, um I will go down in a minute."
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOdufWxqHZ
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFKJRtNPvt
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?"
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT0ELTwWTQ
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSFrP7dlpP
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.."
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gqTtMeqc5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm46cElkIK
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.
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW00wdH7O0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZf5Q7utj0
"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.
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr8N1I6vAm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR96SDcVvZO
"Who... wants to talk about me, Damian?" Evelynn asked with a confused, scared face.
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoXLlJg088
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA0ml9npWQ
Damian said, "your father..." Hearing him saying her own father wants to talk behind her only added to the heartache that already was.
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxOAApUtO4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67gHvYsuTz
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?"
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADJ5S7imLC
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2BybJ2BZf
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.
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv1i5UrKo8
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasxYdZXBFX
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."
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFV2idwqZF
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XnMkYW7Cz
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."
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ca1hgKJri
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ649kuxGpFs
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?"
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycwdKZkn4q
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr69AchOPWb
Crystal then nodded in agreement, "yes yes, you should go there, Evelynn It's the safest place in this palace!"
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgJXoA3ZcX
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KgS2myUd9
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?"
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD4Kz1NDUn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnopppiWWNe
"Let me show you," Crystal walked to Damian's bookshelf and pushed one of the books, it instantly opened up a secret small passage.
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9WEhSmjPP
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM3w76829Y
Evelynn was shocked but also smiled softly, "wow... so cool..."
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMRdsiMbt5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a3DQuddkC
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.
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwuKFJp766
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTkovx2Lyt
Evelynn nodded, "copy. Thanks a bunch guys... I can handle it from here."
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3dWplTK05
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YNczvVD2X
With that, Damian and Crystal nodded, "we'll be right back, don't go out, okay."
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1BSrQWdQ5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKdvBA7Jh5
Leaving the room as Evelynn went into the secret passage.
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotzLrjIHUh
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZAKwn1PqB
Time skip, after the royal family had their breakfast, Evelynn's father stood up, signaling Damian.
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFoLkVFqNN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OtEfIyqaR
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.
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQWVJ8Oee8
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9Alv9Dl4U
After seating down in one of the sofas, Evelynn's father started the conversation, "so, Damian... how is your school, hm?"
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlaUu5K43A
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTBIozeLIU
Damian nodded, "it's fine... I have finished some of my projects."
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20pJyPDXE8
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlvurqJ06e
Evelynn's father nodded, "good... so Damian, I wanna know... where were you yesterday evening?"
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff8yirUH7H
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mGxYQm6lW
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."
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ4UoOOcjh
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrgVvfOt08
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..."
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7GzAOok3B
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
741Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ljssa2T8X
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?
