The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story

Chapter 0326

“Okay,” I said. “Um, so how do we trap Jane?” I looked at Julian. He’s typically the master of schemes. I expected him to have a few up his sleeves.

Right now, however, he seemed a bit blank. He shook his head, as if to recover. “We just need to lure her in… if we could… prepare a closet to trap her…”

“A closet?” I ask.

“Something to…” He rubbed his forehead. “Something, confining.”

“She likely has back ways out of every room in the palace, closets included,” Nicholas said. It wouldn’t surprise me.”

“What if we jump out behind her and put a sack over her?” I asked.

Julian, Veronica, and Nicolas all looked at me.

I blinked. “What?”

Julian rubbed his temples next.

“We should break for the night,” Veronica said. “You’ve all had an exhausting day. We should return to this with fresh minds.”

Julian, Nicholas, and I glanced at each other. In them, I could see the exhaustion that I felt. No doubt, they saw the same in me.

“That’s probably a good idea,” Julian said.

“I

“Yeah.” I was reluctant to admit it. I wanted to stay up, think of a plan, and resolve everything right away. But… shifting my gaze to Nicholas, and his healing but still battle- bruised body, I couldn’t deny some rest was in order.
