The next couple of nights consist of stargazing and just talking about their day. The two are currently looking at the stars, both on their side of the fence. Melly sighed happily and Luchino looked over to her. Melly has her beekeeper mask off, so he sees her smiling. Luchino smiles lovingly at her and then back at the stars.

"I wish we could spend time during the day, but our love is considered forbidden." Melly said with a frown.

"I wish we didn't have to keep our love secret." Luchino said.

"I hope nothing splits us apart. I don't know what I would do if that happened." Melly said. Melly puts her hands on the fence and so does Luchino.

Eventually, the two returned to their own rooms. On the way back, Melly passed by a room that had the door cracked slightly and it was Vera's room. Vera was awake since she was having issues sleeping. She noticed a certain bug lover passing her room.

"Why would she be up this late?" Vera whispered to herself. Melly returns to her room and closes the door behind her. She takes off her beekeeper mask. She looks out the window and looks at the moon. Her room smelt of honey. Honey is what Luchino said she smells like the first time they talked. Melly giggled and was glad she isn't stinky. They kept their relationship a secret for 6 months so far.

However, they didn't know Vera was already suspicious of Melly for something. It's not often Vera has sleeping issues, but when she does, she always had the door cracked and saw Melly walking to her room late like 2 am or so. One day, Vera, Naib, and Freddy are in Vera's room. They just got done with a match against Luchino. Melly was in that match and the only one that made it out. Vera and Freddy didn't pay that part to mind. Naib had his suspicion and kept it to himself for now.

"Bug Lady is sneaking out at night. How much do you wanna bet she's sleeping with someone? I've seen that bag on her head uneven before." Vera suggested while she looked at her hands.

"Gross, who would want to get with her?" Freddy asked.

"I'm missing a ring. Ugh, I must have dropped it in one of my matches today." Vera said.

"How about we follow Bug Lady and see whose she's hooking up with?" Naib suggested. The other two agreed. Around midnight, Melly starts walking down the hall. Vera, Naib, and Freddy quietly follow from a distance. Melly makes it to the garden. She walks over to the fence separately the two sides. Vera, Naib, and Freddy are hiding in a large, long bush in the garden. The three waited 3 minutes and Melly was alone. Vera was getting impatient. However, the wait ends. A figure walks up towards Melly. The figure jumps over the fence. Vera, Naib, and Freddy looked shocked to see Luchino.

"Luchi!" Melly said. She hugs Luchino and he hugs her back.

"Melly, how I missed you." Luchino said. The two stayed in their embrace and talked about their day. Vera was still shocked this was going on, Naib had a feeling, but didn't think it was this, and Freddy just watched what was happening. Luchino looks down at Melly. Melly takes off her beekeeper mask.

"I got a present for you." Luchino said.

"Huh?" Melly seemed confused. Luchino still has his left arm around Melly's waist. He uses his right hand to get out a ring from his pocket.

"It's a promise ring." Luchino said.

"P-promise r-ring?" Melly said nervously. She's blushing like crazy.

"When things here at the manor is finally over...I...would love to marry you someday and start a life with you. I..I love you, Melly." Luchino said. He blushed when he said this.

"Oh Luchi, I would love that a lot. I wouldn't mind going back to living on a farm again." Melly said. Melly took off her left glove and Luchino put the ring on Melly's left ring finger. The two shared a quick kiss and talked about the future.

"I'm happy we're soulmates." Luchino said. He kissed Melly on the cheek.

"Me too." Melly said. The three quietly sneaked back to Vera's room. When they got back to her room, they closed the door.

"Bug Lady has my ring! That ugly lizard stole it!" Vera angrily said.

"So that explains why that lizard always lets Bug Lady get the dungeon." Naib said.

"Wait, didn't you two hear? They're soulmates. If we split them apart, it's going to be devastating for them." Freddy suggested.

"How would we even split them up?" Naib asked.

"I'm pretty sure their relationship is forbidden. I bet the owner of the manor would be unhappy to hear about that." Vera said and then smiled evilly.

The next day the manor owner was informed about Luchino and Melly's relationship. It was against the rules for a hunter and survivor to be together. The manor owner forbids the two from seeing each other. It broke the two so much to be told that. Later that day, Luchino heard from one of the other hunters that Vera, Naib, and Freddy were talking about how they divided the two. That hunter heard it in a match and afterward told Luchino.

That night, Luchino confronted the three and he was enraged. He almost choked Vera to death and almost murdered the other two. Vera called him a wild animal and the next day, Luchino was sent away from the manor, forever gone. Melly didn't realize until there was a notice on the board. On the board mentioned Vera, Naid, and Freddy are temporarily unavailable and are in the infirmary and Luchino is banished from the manor. Melly broke down into tears in front of the board. Emily comforted her and so did Fiona.
