________ KALA VILLAGE _______
______ SOMEWHERE _______
_______ LILIAN _______
It's true I escaped, but this is really a problem! If those people are my father's followers, I'm finished! Now I need to hide here and observe the situation.
_______ Man 1 _______
Are you sure? This path doesn't look safe or short at all!
______ Man 2 _______
I agree, friend. This doesn't give me any comfort at all!
______ Man 3 _______
Trust me! After all, I am a man of the wilds!
______ Men 1,2,4,5 _______
(Muffled laughter) Yes, yes!
________ /Rustling sounds/ _______
______ Man 1 _______
I told you, guys! This path is not safe at all!
_______ POV KEVIN _______
What sheep! Where did your courage go just a moment ago?
_______ Man 3 _______
True! I remember now, guys… we know each other, but we didn't know ourselves well last time.
______ Man 2 _______
Forget that for now. The important thing is that rustling sound!
_____ Man 1 _______
Y-Yes… but it must be a rabbit.
________ /Rustling/ _______
_______ LILIAN _______
(Screaming) G-G-Go away from here!
_______ Man 4 _______
Lady Lilian! You're here?!
_______ Man 2 _______
Lady Lilian! Thank God you're safe!
_______ Man 5 _______
Now that we've found Lady Lilian, let's run!
_______ LILIAN _______
Everyone! I thank you from the bottom of my heart! Truly, thank you so much!
_______ POV KEVIN _______
What's the point of this? She escaped on her own anyway. I had more important things to do… (sigh)
_______ After 30 minutes _______
____ KALA VILLAGE ____
______ Man 4's house ______
_____ Man 4 _______
Since we're at my house, we'll be safe for a while.
_____ Man 1 _______
Yes, but the problem comes afterward.
_______ LILIAN _______
I'm really sorry, everyone! Thank you, that's enough already! I don't want to hold you back any longer, and my father's men have probably already gone searching for me. I need to leave now.
______ Man 2 _______
You're never a burden! Right, guys?!
_______ Man 5 _______
Right, helping you was our decision from the start!
_______ Man 3 _______
True, true!
_______ POV KEVIN _______
I want to leave. I don't want to get involved. I'm really busy, and I don't have time for this drama.
______ Man 4 _______
Now that we're all here, why don't we introduce ourselves? I'll start. I'm Klaus Han, 27 years old, I work at a clothing store.
_____ Man 1 _______
I'm Marcelian Crowley, 20 years old, the village school director.
_____ Man 2 _______
My name is Henry Last, 25 years old. I'm a traveling merchant, but until the economy improves, I work at the construction workshop.
_____ Man 5 _______
I'm Ibrahim, son of Ali, 30 years old. I'm the head of the construction workshop. Nice to meet you.
_______ Man 3 _______
I'm Johan Fawn, 19 years old, an aspiring ship designer.
________ POV KEVIN _______
Seems they've all passed 19 already.
________ LILIAN _______
You already know me, but let me introduce myself properly. I'm Lilian de Local, 19 years old. I'm the daughter of the local governor—at least I used to be. I will officially renounce him after what he did.
_______ KEVIN _______
Alright, I guess it's my turn. My name is Kevin, 20 years old. I also work at the construction workshop.
______ JOHAN _______
Don't you have any title, or your father's name like Abraham?
_______ POV KEVIN _______
I expected this question… they're really annoying!
_______ KEVIN _______
Well… it's a bit complicated, but I actually don't remember my parents. One day, I woke up in the governor's house, and all I remember is my name—Kevin. Does that satisfy your curiosity?!
________ JOHAN _______
Sorry, I didn't know!
_____ KEVIN _______
It's fine. I get this question all the time. Now, I have business to attend to, so I'll excuse myself.
________ /Door opens/ _______
_______ CLAUS _______
Oh, alright then. Goodbye.
________ /Door closes/ _______
_______ CLAUS _______
That "Kevin" doesn't even respond to farewells!
_______ EBRAHAM _______
Forget that. Looks like Lilian will stay at Henry's house since he's the only married one here. Is that okay?
______ HENRY _______
Yes, absolutely. I expected this, so I asked my wife, Cynthia, to prepare everything, Lady Lilian.
_______ LILIAN _______
Thank you, everyone! Goodbye!
_____ HENRY _______
We'll see each other tomorrow, guys. Goodbye!
________ /Door opens/ _______
_______ EBRAHAM _______
It's time to leave anyway. Goodbye, everyone!
______ JOHAN _______
Me too. Goodbye!
______ MARCELIAN _______
Alright, me too. Goodbye, everyone!
______ CLAUS _______
(Waving) Goodbye!
