Chapter Twenty: Senior Mang.

Chapter Twenty: Senior Mang.

<Ali's POV>

Jacq's already have chosen those persons who will be actors and surprisingly, there's also some volunteers who wanted to act. Obviously, I was one with them because of the lack of women together with the twins, Bob, Boris, Harry and Kija. Kija was supposed to be part of Duke's assign group but Harry will not join at us if his brother will not also be the part of it. Jacq wanted Harry to join because of his small and slender structure he could pretend to be a girl for the performance. So, Kija doesn't have any choice.

The actors gathered at the upper deck where Jacq will announce what will be the act and who will be the main actors.

"I decided that our story will be The Knight and the Prince. Have anyone read about that?" Jacq inquired.

No one said anything.

"Or even heard about that?"

Still no one.

"You guys are hopeless," she sighed in disappointment. "Alright, it's a story about the knight and a prince obviously. But both of them where fighting for a lady who was being held by a witch," she rolled her eyes at the word, "It's a battle of love but in the end the knight won the fight because the prince chose to rule his country who needed him most."

"What a cliché," Harry muttered.

"Don't be so hot headed," Kija said.

"Alright, so I'll announce the main characters," Jacq said as she looked at her papers on her hand, "Obviously, Ali will be the lady and I'm the witch. Kija will be the knight and Boris will be the prince. Harry, you'll be the prince's sister and the others will be the townspeople or the other minor characters."

Jacq gave us our scripts. Harry seemed not like his role but still give it a try. We've been practising and memorizing our part. Duke and the others started to build our decorations like trees, castle and etc.

One day when we were practising some soldiers came to our ship and said that they will help us to build the stage at the town plaza which Duke and his group were happy about.

While we are all busy about the play, Kaden and Monto were doing the thing that we need were supposed to do, only the two of them so that the soldiers won't suspect us anything. They were kept on going to the shore were the fishermen were and they were asking them about some clues on where the Corona is.

"One more time!" Jacq commanded and everyone groaned.

"Could we call it a night already?" Bob whined, "It's getting dark!"

"Stop complaining and do some acting!" she scolded him, "We need to perfect this!"

"Captain's back!" someone announced and that made all of the crew to stop on what they are doing and greeted Kaden and Monto who just arrived.

"Thanks for the arrival," Jacq glared at them, "Because of you they lost their focus!"

"Don't be so hard on us," Damon complained.

"Yeah!" Damian agreed.

"So have you found any clues?" Bob asked walking towards them.

"Yeah, we did," Monto grumbled, "A clue which leads to another clue."

"Tell us more, what is it?" I asked.

"We went to the fishermen at the bay and they told us tales about Corona which is really vague," he rolled his eyes, "One said that corona is an animal, one said that it is a curse, one said that it is a creature on the ocean, one said it is a place however one fisherman said that we should visit an old fisherman named Senior Mang, he knows about Corona."
