Moving Pieces (03)

--This chapter is written using Ellie's POV--

Paul and his knights were quick to subdue the commotion caused by the corpse's discovery, but as expected, that did not do much to calm everyone's nerves.

The soldiers' suspícions and doubts about their comrades and leaders could be fatal, and we had to move quickly to dispel them.

Paul: "I'll ask just to be sure, but... This wasn't your doing, right?"

Miwen: "...Of course not. Why would I even do something like this?"

Paul: "Don't worry. It's just that Isabella told me to make sure you weren't behind it if something strange happened."

Ouch...
