Sunday December 4 2016 - Dreamland's Castle - 3h04 PM
We continue reading for a while. There's still so much we don't know yet. As usual, the King knocks on the door and interrupt us. We forgot to lock the door when he left earlier. He walked in on us reading ''the book''. He takes it from Joanna's hands and put it in his pocket. Then, he turns to me. He's probably gonna put me in the middle of something again. He gets closer to me and whispers in my ear:
The King: Please follow me, I have something to show you.
Joanna sees the fear in my face. He leads the way to his bedroom. I wonder what he wants to show me this time. I hope it's not a footage of me and Joanna sneaking in his stuff. I'm pretty sure we're screwed, he knows that we hacked into his computer. He takes out his cellphone to show me a picture.
The King: Do you know this man?
He is showing me a picture of Antoine. Seems like he knows he exist.
Crystal: Not personally. Why?
The King: I, myself, caught him sneaking in the basement this afternoon. I didn't have time to catch him, but at least I have his picture. No one really seems to know who he is. Two persons told me they've seen him before, lurking around that bar where you hang out.
Crystal: I've seen him a few times, but that's it. I don't know anything about him.
The King: What about your friends?
Crystal: Same thing. That man usually just sits down at the bar, alone, and drink a beer. I've never seen him talk to anyone.
The King: If you have any clue about him, you have to let me know in person. Don't tell anyone else but me, I'm the one in charge of this case. I think he might be an undercover spy working for someone. I don't feel like he's dangerous, but he's obviously searching for something.
Crystal: So what do I have to do?
The King: Just let me know if you find out anything odd. I'm the one responsible of this case, so you should just continue living your life normally. No stalking. You're free to go.
What should I do with this information? He's putting me in a bad position. It's not like I can warn Antoine since he doesn't even talk to me anymore. I can't just go to the basement either, there's guards anywhere. Antoine is great at hiding, he will figure something out. He probably already knows. Antoine could also be dangerous as hell and I wouldn't even know. I hate being in the middle of this.
The King: I know you still see me as the enemy, you don't trust me, but as I said, we're working towards the same goal. You may not realize it yet, but you need me and... I need you. Think about it. So many Darkanen wants the same rights as you, Dreamlanders. Even if I'm the King, there's just so much I can do by myself when the majority of my fellow governors keeps their traditional values.
Crystal: I don't know how I can really help with this, to be honest. I'm not one of your kind, my views don't matter.
He steps closer to me, I can feel his warmth. He raises his hand to my cheek and say:
The King: We can arrange something. You may not like it at first, but it could help you in your quest too. I will think of a plan.
I'm not sure how I should feel about this. Antoine said I could trust him, but he always puts me in the middle of serious things. I have to try and grab the diary in his pocket. How the hell can I do that without acting all flirty and shit?
Crystal: What kind of plan are you thinking about?
King: I am not sure yet, but I will let you know.
