Brace yourself.

You pull up the pajamas just in time for the entire door to slam down against the floor. Several guards rush into the room, and behind them all, the absolute ruler of Tivera follows. She's garbed in a jet-black housecoat with an insignia of the empire on the upper left of her chest. You stand and watch while Vivi keeps the stone nearby, preventing the high doppel from returning to its guise.

"Let me through immediately," the queen demands. She looks around the room with a fierce glare. But at the same time, she raises a hand to her head in pain. "Something isn't right. Why are we in Francine's room? She isn't home."

"Yeah. This high doppel was pretending to be a sister you never had," you speak bluntly. "But we caught her."

Your story sounds insane, but you get the idea that the weakening of the doppel's powers extends behind its physical form. The guards look between each other confused. Then, the queen pierces the doppel's very soul with an expression of rage unbecoming of a royal.

"You traitorous bitch!" the queen shouts.

Holy shit.

"She's working for the Vampire Queen, Mistress Catherine," Vivi explains. "Might want to heighten security for a good while. You never know when she might try to come back."

"I can't believe this," the queen continues. "I was made a fool. You saved us, Kyle Warren. I don't know how you and your friends do it. I had my doubts about you, but what this impostor said is true after all. You are a kind-hearted knight. The irony that she brought you here upon that reason is not lost to me. She fell to you in the end, and I will make certain this never happens again. I have much to do. Guards, grab her immediately. I'm sorry, but I have no time for guests right now. Allow one of my knights to escort you to your own rooms for the night and sleep well. In the morning, I will speak to you properly in the throne room."

The rhythmic footfalls of the soldiers marching with the high doppel in chains is a threatening sound. Though, she seems to trust you enough to leave both you and Vivi under the care of just a single guard. You really did just save the empire, even if it was mostly Vivi in the end, and all you did in the fight was... cum.

You gather your belongings before the guard begins escorting the two of you elsewhere.

Before you leave the room, you put your hand on Vivi's shoulder. "Hey, uh. Thanks. You saved me."

"Yes, well I'd have felt pretty guilty if my practical joke got you killed and doomed Tivera. I don't really want to go live in the woods alone again. Not without being able to visit once in awhile..."

"I don't mind a visit. Just try to be more careful."

"Of course," she says, clearly crossing her fingers behind her back... in front of you.

"I can see that!" you shout.
