<span style="font-weight:400">The group continued to y for some time. That was when Keith asked, "What else do you kids want to y?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Dress up!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ah, what kind of dress-up do you want to do?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Masked Thief and the princess!" The children''s voices ovepped with one another, resonating with one another. Keith froze on the spot while Krystal and Carolyn nced at one another.
<span style="font-weight:400">The man questioned, "How do you know about Masked Thief?" The North shouldn''t have seen something like that.
<span style="font-weight:400">There was no way...Right?
<span style="font-weight:400">"There are a lot of masks," One childmented.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?" Keith blinked. What do you mean by mask? There was no need to wonder as,
<span style="font-weight:400">"I got one!" One kid took out a mask; it was the same one that Masked Thief wore.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..."
<span style="font-weight:400">"I do, too!" Another mask was taken out as well. One by one, the children started to take them out!
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Oh my goodness. Carolyn and Krystal gasped at the sight of these masks. Yet, they wanted to see how this would y out.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I will protect you from everything, Princess!" The children with masks quickly went before another as they dered.
<span style="font-weight:400">"No, I will protect you with everything I have!" Another child stated.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I have a recording stone!" But that was when Leon took out a stone, and it started to y.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Umm," Like a broken record. Keith tried to say something, but it came out in mumbles. Carolyn covered his mouth, "Don''t destroy this for the children."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Do I really have to watch this?! It seemed so because Krystal and May had no ns to help or stop this. As they talked, one child stared intently at Carolyn.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What''s the matter?" The princess noticed the look as she smiled.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s the princess!" While they watched the recording stone, the children realized that the person inside the recording was none other than Carolyn!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Pretty Princess!" Eyes of reverence and awe were gazed at her.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Uh," Carolyn scratched her head as she turned to Keith. What should I do? Being looked at like this was embarrassing.
<span style="font-weight:400">Don''t look at me. You''re the one who stopped me.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Can you do it again?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Wut?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"We want to see it again!"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Then who would y Masked Thief?" When that was said, Carolyn then turned over to Keith. The kids did the same as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">"...There''s someone else who would y Masked Thief perfectly!" Keith then pointed at the girl, "We have here, Krystal! She''s a swordsman, and she''s perfect for the job!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Keith? Krystal blinked. Why am I a part of this?
<span style="font-weight:400">You''re joining this for not helping me! This was going to be everyone getting in trouble! Carolyn was getting one, and she was as well!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Knight and princess?" The children were quite interested.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Then Big Brother shall be the evil prince!" One childmented.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." I''m still part of it?
<span style="font-weight:400">Wait a minute, evil prince? Doesn''t that mean...
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith was ying Alger. Krystal and Carolyn looked at one another. That was a scene that all wanted to see. However, would the guy''s pride allow it? The man had been saying how much he hated him.
<span style="font-weight:400">Yet, he had to y him?
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…Understood," Keith sighed in defeat. I can''t believe I''m going to be the one who will do this.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Big Sister, wear this!" A kid handed Krystal a mask. To be a Masked Thief, a mask was a must.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…Thank you." Krystal took a deep breath as she wore it.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">That was when the y started. Keith started tough, "Muahahaha! I have stolen the princess! With this, I will use my weapon to take over the world!!!"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Keith, that was not what Alger said. However, Keith kept it going since the children were immersed in his acting. He gave Carolyn a look.
<span style="font-weight:400">The princess got the message, "Oh, whatever shall I do? Will there be a prince for me?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, what a beautiful pair, but are they truly in love? Such flowery words, yet behind the scenes, are only thorns." Krystal said the exact same words as the thief. But anyone could tell there was something wrong, embarrassed? It was probably more so.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Princess, I shall whisk you away!" Krystal quickly grabbed Carolyn and did a princess carry!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yay!" "I want to do the same!" The children cheered at the performance. But as they did so,
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"No, I''ve been defeated," Keith fainted on the ground. His face was done on the ground, relieved. d this is over with.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"May! Be the princess this time!" "Keith be Masked Thief!"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…" May''s eyes widened while Keith blinked. Are you kidding me? Do I still have to do this?
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…Please!" The kids stared at him.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…Okay," Keith sighed, "Can I get the mask this time?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Princess, I shall whisk you away from there!" Keith then grabbed May with a princess carry and quickly moved away.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…” The others were spellbound by the sight. Carolyn and the others didn''t say as they watched. This kept going for some time before he was done reenacting it.
<span style="font-weight:400">The kids were satisfied with all of these scenes.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"By the way, kids. Where did you guys get the mask?" It was now time to figure out what was going on.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ah! We got it from the White Owl Merchant Store. It’s also in the cksmith shop as well,"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…" Keith froze when he heard that.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…" Keith? That''s not a face you should be making.
<span style="font-weight:400">"...Thank you for everything," Keith grinned, "Here are some choctes for all of you. You''re all good kids." When that was said, it was time for them to head off again.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…I''m going to kill someone."
<span style="font-weight:400">The others gulped; it was going to be a bloodbath.
