When PraPai and Phayu entered the room, they were stunned to find a guy tied by rope in the middle of the room with Pete pointing a gun at him. Vegas was sitting on the couch and looking at the intruder with a devilish look

“Please! Please! Trust me! I'm a staff member! I was supposed to pretend to be an attempt of assassination on the King to create suspense…” The guy begged but both Pete and Vegas ignored his pleas and looked up at PraPai and Phayu instead

“Everything is under control, don’t worry,” Pete said with a sweet smile as if they weren’t in a situation where he had a gun in hand.

“What’s happening here?” Phayu asked in confusion as he examined the guy who was trembling due to fear

“He tried to attack me, so I tied him up. He’s lucky that he’s not dead yet..” Vegas said in annoyance as he kicked the guy's leg, making him fall on his face

Half an hour ago, Vegas heard someone entering his room and woke up, slowly he pulled out the gun which he hid from the crew and waited to know the person's motive. When the guy grabbed the blanket, Vegas kicked him in the face.

The guy fell while groaning but still managed to stand up. He tried to grab Vegas but instead, he was scared to death when he saw Vegas shooting behind him and then pointing a gun at him.

“Who sent you?” Vegas asked calmly while the guy started trembling due to fear







                   Back To the present, Phayu and PraPai were still suspicious of the guy who started to cry while he spoke, “Please trust me! There's a note in my pants pocket that I was supposed to leave here before escaping..”

PraPai quickly checked the guy’s pocket and found the note, ‘Someone wants King dead! Who could it be? Is it the Queen who will be the owner of the whole property if the King is dead? Or is it an insider who wants revenge? Is it a guest who came here with the motive to hurt the king? Or the Cook who is always in an argument with the King?’

“Hey! That’s rude! They are targeting me!” PraPai complained after reading out the note.

“He’s not lying..” Phayu pointed out, ignoring his friend still complaining about the note

“Then, should we let him go?” Pete asked Vegas who was still not sure if the guy was telling the truth. Vegas glared at the guy who was trembling and then sighed, “Release him! If I find you anywhere near me again, I swear all the 5 bullets will be in your body..”

Vegas warned the guy who quickly got as soon as Pete released him. He cried in frustration before running towards the secret passage. Pete handed the gun back to Vegas while Phayu and PraPai looked at them with wide eyes

“That's a real gun! Why do you have a gun with you?!” PraPai was startled, Pete smiled awkwardly before handling the situation, “It’s a crop! A crop! A Crew member gave Vegas before we came to the castle..”

All four came out of the room and Tankhun came rushing towards Vegas, he examined Vegas and then coughed awkwardly, “I see you’re still alive..”

“Of course, I am… I’m Vegas, Death needs my permission before making a move…” Vegas replies with a smirk which makes others roll his eyes.

“So what happened inside?” Kluen asked as he stared at Vegas and then Pete, Phayu and PraPai.

“There was an assassination… Fortunately, the King escaped safely…” Phayu reported in a calm tone

Phayu showed them the note that they found, and PraPai started to sulk while others read the note. Tem’s body stiffened when he read the insider part. After taking a bath, he found the note left hidden in his closet. According to the note, he seems to be the intruder
