True's face had gone pale at the words spoken by the Rainbow King's mouth.
"D-did you-you say False and Lie are staying here? In Rainbow City?!" True looked about ready to burst. "Why'd you let them in? They are bad news your majesty!!!"
Zee walked up to True and put a hand on her shoulder. "Woah, calm down True!" he said calmly. "How bad can False and Lie be?"
True just gave him a deadpanned look. "Really bad." Was all she said in way of an answer.
Zee just looked even more concerned than ever now.
But, before Zee could say so much as another word, the doors to the King's thrown room slammed open.
It was False and Lie.
True started trembling in place and she quickly hid behind Zee.
"Woah! True? What are you-" Zee started to say, but was cut off wby False, who literally shrieked at an ear-splitting volume.
"Shrieking Stardust! What in the Wishing Tree was that?" Zee yelped, turning to look over his shoulder at True. "True, would you kindly tell your sister to quiet it down a little?"
True's face went even pale, and she hid her face in Zee's shoulder. He felt wetness on the back of his tunic, turning, he was horrified to see Trje, who was shaking, badly as silent tears streamed down her cheeks.
And, it was at that very moment that Zee knew: Something very very very very bad had happened to True. And, worst of all? The young Wishologist knew that somehow, someway, False and Lie had something to do with it.
