Darryl was almost at the door when Princess Sheila began mumbling to herself. He sensed something was wrong with the surroundings for no apparent reason. 'What's going on? Why do I have the feeling that someone is watching me?' He laughed as he shook his hand. 'Maybe I am a little too sensitive after exposing my identity to Jadie.'
Darryl was about to enter the door with that thought in mind when he slipped into the trap. He did not have time to react before falling into the hole.
'Oh, sh*t!' He was furious. 'Who the hell dug such a deep hole in front of my door? That person must be too bold!'
As he dropped to the bottom of the hole, he steadied his body and stepped onto the ground, ready to fly out of the hole.
A peal of laughter erupted from the top of the hole at that exact moment. A sneaky face looked down into the pit. "Old man! Let this be a lesson for you for abandoning me while I was frozen. Now you know what I am capable of."
It was Princess Sheila.
'F*ck! It's her!' Darryl felt so desperate and angry at the same time. The princess had caused many troubles for him. He was ready to fly out of the hole. At the same time, Princess Sheila used the big net she had prepared and threw it from the top to catch Darryl. She clapped her hands and laughed. "I caught a turtle! I caught a turtle!"
After that, she pulled the net and dragged Darryl out from the bottom of the hole.
'Damn it!' The anger was mounting in Darryl's heart as he listened to Princess Sheila's laughter. 'She has stepped over the line. She is disgusting. It's outrageous to dig a hole in front of my door, and now she is calling me a turtle. I guess she still has not learned her lesson yet.'
Princess Sheila had dragged Darryl up. When she saw his face, she was stunned. "Finch? How are you here?"
'That's weird. I was sure that Barely Immortal was the one who had fallen into the trap. How did he become Finch, who had disappeared?'
'Oh, no!' Darryl freaked out when he saw Princess Sheila's reaction. He did not put on the mask after leaving the elixir production room.
