'Wake up, kids!' Arielle exclaimed with a chirpy smile and messy hair. 'Rise and shine!'.

'Five more minutes' Charity groaned, earning a kick of laughter from Kaycee.

'For once, it's not me' the brunette giggled, folding up her blanket and tossing it into a neatly woven basket.

'You can't blame Charity, though. She was hitting it off last night' Sean joked,wiggling his brows. Arielle sent Kaycee a confused look, licking her lips as she shook her head and said 'kids these days'

'I hate you' Charity snapped, glaring scarily at Sean. 'I really do'.

'Well, I know someone that you don't hate' Sean remarked, whistling Andres name under his breath.

'Oh, shut up' the blonde spat, quickly heaving herself up as she punched Sean hardly on his shoulder.

'Ow, you didn't have to punch so hard' Sean whined, causing Kaycee to run to his side and rub his shoulder soothingly.

'Guys, behave' Kaycee groaned, her words more-so for Charity as she smiled widely at Sean, resting her chin on his toned chest.

'I am. It's his fault' Charity rolled her eyes, staring at her lovesick friends. Arielle laughed lightly, combing her hair with her three longest fingers.

'Where is Andres anyways?' She asked, wrapping her hair into a tight bun at the top of her head.

As if, on cue like a cliché movie, Andres ran through the door, panting heavily as he pointed messily at the wall. 

'L-look' he panted, leaning forward with his hands on his knees as he tried to control his breathing. 'L-look'.

'What do you want us to look at?' Kaycee asked, trying to figure out what the boy meant when he pointed at the wall.

'P-peep ho-hole' he breathed out, his chest heaving up and down frantically. Kaycee took initiative sprinting to the peep hole as she gestured for the others to follow.

'You alright?' Charity asked Andres who had somewhat recovered from his long run back down to his room. He nodded his head meekly, smiling gratefully at the girl before laying a hand on her lower back and leading her towards the rest who were at the peep hole.

'It's Will and Cheuk' Kaycee whispered, pressing a finger to her lips for the others to pipe down. 'Listen'.

'What are we gonna do?' Cheuk roared, slamming his fist on a table. 'I thought you said you had everything under control'.

'I d-did. I really thought I did. But Serris, she can't balance books on her head. She just-' Will explained, his voice softer and quieter than Cheuks.

'Don't you dare blame my child.' He shook his head briskly, pointing a finger to Will's chest. 'Figure it out, or we will have problem. Understood?'. Will nodded his head aggressively, saluting Cheuk as the older man abruptly left the room.

'Shit' Will said, hastily dialing a number on the wall mounted telephone. 'Hello?'. The four teens and Arielle could hear a muffled voice through the phone, by they were too far away to make out who it was and what they were saying.

'100 gold coins? Isn't that a bit much?' Will asked the phone. 'Make it 75'. More muffled sounds came through, until the call ended and Will pulled the connector off and therew it to the ground, shattering into tiny pieces.

'Think Will. Think' he thought aloud, tapping his chin as he paced around the room. Sean looked confused at Kaycee, shuffling closer to her as he whispered something into her ear.

'Do you know wats happening?'

'I'm trying to piece everything together. But I'm still confused' she replied, biting her bottom lip.

'Light-weight hardcovers' Will exclaimed, pointing a finger in the air as if a light bulb flickered above his head. 'Genius' he mumbled to himself, ripping out a page from a diary lying on the table and scribbling a drawing down. 'This is bound to work' he added, holding the page up as it reflected the sunlight. 'Well done, Will. God job, well done' he praised himself, wiping away fake tears. Reluctantly, he exited the room, closing the door shut as he left.

'What was that?' Charity questioned. Everyone bar Kaycee shrugged their shoulders as the brunette tapped her chin, lost in thought.

Silence.

'I got it' Kaycee whisper-shouted. 'Serris couldn't balance the books on her head, and that must be one of the exams in the princess test. If she's not able to do that, then that must mean she's not the princess. Now Will's trying to figure out a plan to avoid Serris from failing so that Cheuk won't blow up at him' She explained, nodding her head as she talked.

'That does make sense. But Cheuk...aren't Will and him friends?' Andres asked. 'Why would Cheuk threaten him if they were friends?'.

'Good point'.

'Too much thinking' Charity groaned. 'I'm getting a headache'.

'What if Will and Cheuk aren't really friends, but more so acquaintances. Cheuk might have hired Will for some sort of bribery. Now Will has to live under his rules in order for him not to be punished or something' Kaycee elucidated, using her hands for gestures.

'Again that would make sense. But what would Will's big secret be?' Sean questioned, deep in concentration and thought. Charity drummed her fingers against the wooden floorboard. Andres copied her actions, biting the inside of his lips as he thought of some sort of explanation. Just anything. Sean was blatantly staring at Kaycee, watching how she would occasionally raise her finger but then slowly bring it back down with a frown on her face.

'I think I know' Arielle whispered, a frown playing on her beautiful face which wasn't an amazing sight to see. The four teens crowded around her, eyes growing into saucers as they waited impatiently for her to tell them what she was thinking.

'I think.. I think. That-um-' she started, breathing heavily.

'Just tell us' Charity breathed out.

'Please' Kaycee begged.

'Go on, tell us' Andres encouraged. 

'What is it?' Sean leaned forward, before Kaycee dragged him back a bit.

'I think... Will killed Princess Blanches'
