Kingdom Of Idleness
Chapter 8

I awoke the next day with clear memories. It seems that my memories weren't fading anymore. That bastard Will was killed. Hehe, I'm glad that he's dead. I got out of the comfy bed that I would soon leave behind and left my room.

When I opened my door I was met with the sight of Kanye and Claire talking. But as I walked out of my room silence erupted through the empty halls. Time seemed to stop as we made eye contact with one another. Did they know?

"So what were you two talking about?" I asked curiously.

"We were discussing our roles" Claire replied with a glint of hate within her eyes.

"Oh are we all sharing roles?" I asked. Kanye looked at me and nodded his head.

"You should tell us your role Mal" Claire respond with a strange tone.

"I'm the Double" I said flat out.

"I'm the King..." Replied Caire.

"I happen to be the Knight" Replied Kanye. The atmosphere changed.

"One of us is lying" Claire stated the obvious.

"But who?" Kanye asked.

"It has to be Mal!" Claire yelled.

"Huh!?"

"Claire what!?"

"I know Waffle's role! It has to be him!" Claire yelled.

"But wait! If she knew Waffle's role what's stopping her from getting rid of her to win?" I argued. I looked towards Kanye and he seemed to be confused and torn between us.

"Waffle was the double! And Mal was claiming the double, doesn't that seem a bit weird!?" Claire yelled her voice becoming more and more agitated.

"That's wrong! When I was in a meeting with Waffle she told me she was the Prince!" I yelled back.

"W-What was she?" Kanye asked with a confused tone.

"Prince!"

"Double!"

Kanye looked between us, we seemed to have confused him on exactly what to think. I just need to convince Kanye that Claire is the Revolutionary. Just a little further-

<<TiMe fOr yOuR sEcrEt mEetiNgS!>>

God damnit... I was so close... Before I could say anything else to Kanye he ran off towards his room leaving me and Claire alone. She turned her back towards me and without saying anything stormed off towards her room. There was nothing really left for me to do, so I just left towards my room.

[1:30 Pm Mal Matsuda's Room, A Block]

There was not much left for me to do in my room. The end of this game was drawing closer and in the end, I would remain victorious. The tablet soon turned on once again and as usual displayed the names of all the players in this game.

<<Will -DEAD- Sudo>>
<<Kanye Nakahara>>
<<Waffle -DEAD- Ecknalgio>>
<<Claire Nashi>>
<<Matthew -DEAD- Jung>>

There's only one choice here, the only person who can help me win this game and leave this place with my life, my friend, my partner, my enemy.

<<Will -DEAD- Sudo>>
<<Kanye Nakahara>>
<<Waffle -DEAD- Ecknalgio>>
<<Claire Nashi>>
<<Matthew -DEAD- Jung>>

Kanye was my obvious choice. Claire seems to not trust me anymore and Kanye seems torn between us too. But with Kanye on my side I might be able to win this game, if my gut was right if I could convince Kanye to work with me we might be able to kill Claire and escape from this prison.
