Case of Assassination (Part 2)

“S-She did what?!” Marco asked with a face of disbelief.

“There’s no way Pio will ever do something so terrible!” Nina defended immediately.

Pio, squirming in fear behind Nina, tries to defend herself, too.

“No… No way! I never killed the king. I...

...I will never do that!!!” she said as she’s nearly crying.

The knight captain gets infuriated by her words. “Lies! Don’t you dare play victim behind these people!!!” the knight captain yelled.

“Miss Nina… I’m scared. I’m scared…! They’re scary…” Pio hid herself, buried her face behind Nina.

A brief moment of silence. Nina crouched down to her and asked her dearly, “Pio… I want to believe in you, you really don’t do something as vile as that, right?”

“No… why would I…?” said Pio leaning to her chest in tremble. “Please… don’t leave me, please…!”

“…I will never leave you, Pio.” Nina stated assuredly.

“S-Sister…” Pio cried.
