As days moved fast, one thing moved faster:
Gossip.
In Lupesia, rumors traveled quicker than horses, magic, and common sense combined. 😌
Village Side 🌾
Workers were finishing their tasks before sunset.
Person 2:
"Did you hear?! The dangerous Queen Elda has been reborn!" 😱
Person 7:
"What?! Really?!" 😨
Person 5:
"Forget talking! Finish work fast before she curses overtime!" 😤
Person 3 looked left and right dramatically.
Person 3:
"What if she is standing here already?" 😶
Everyone instantly turned left.
Then right.
Then behind themselves somehow.
Person 1:
"Stop looking around and harvest faster!" 😤
Person 6 whispered:
"What if Person 3 is Queen Elda?" 😱
Person 3:
"What nonsense— wait… what?" 😨
Chaos began for no reason. 😂
Campbell Mansion 👑
Richard sat in the hall while ministers rushed in like birds carrying bad news.
Minister 4:
"My lord! A dangerous rumor is spreading through the kingdom!"
Richard:
"What now?" 😑
Minister 4:
"They say Queen Elda has returned!" 😱
Minister 5 stepped forward dramatically.
Minister 5:
"And Lord Adam's second daughter, Miss Kristen, has begun searching Lupesia's hidden history!" 😨
Minister 2 added fuel helpfully.
Minister 2:
"My lord, she vanished for three hours… then returned to the exact same spot!" 😱
Minister 1 leaned in like revealing state secrets.
Minister 1:
"And my lord… Miss Kristen wears a pendant that looks exactly like the Witch Queen's pendant." 😶
Richard stood up slowly.
Richard:
"…What?" 😳
Minister 3:
"Yes, my lord."
Richard:
"Or… hear me out…"
All ministers leaned closer.
Richard:
"…it could just be jewelry?" 😑
Ministers: 😶
Minister 4:
"That sounds too reasonable, my lord."
Richard held his forehead. 😂
Ramrizz House 🏠
Adam was pacing.
Adam:
"Kristen has been acting very strangely lately." 😤
Tiffiny nodded dramatically.
Tiffiny:
"And these rumors are spreading like wildfire, hubby!" 😱
Laura entered carrying books and gossip.
Laura:
"And it all started after Kristen came back from disappearing." 😶
Natalie folded her arms.
Natalie:
"Yes, Father… where did she go for three hours?" 😑
Rachel joined excitedly.
Rachel:
"What if she went to the ghost world?" 😊
Adam:
"No." 😤
Laura:
"What if she met a cursed prince?" 😍
Natalie:
"No." 😑
Tiffiny gasped loudly.
Tiffiny:
"What if she is Queen Elda reborn?!" 😱
Everyone turned slowly toward the stairs.
At that exact moment, Kristen walked down wearing the pendant and looking sleepy. 😶
Whole family screamed internally. 😱
Kristen:
"Why are you all staring at me?" 😤
Laura pointed dramatically.
Laura:
"She asks like a villain!" 😱
Kristen:
"I just woke up!" 😤
Natalie:
"Suspicious timing." 😌
Adam sat down tired.
Adam:
"I need peace."
Kristen grabbed fruit from table.
Kristen:
"You won't get it here." 😤
Everyone nodded. 😂
