Nonsensical Terror

"This arm feels numb right now, but I'm fine," Yohana said.

Henrie squinted. "You always say that. I have learned not to believe it because there's no way you could be fine with what you went through."

"Alright. It still stings a little. When I move my arm, it hurts. But I'm doing nothing now, so am I not fine?" Yohana insisted.

Henrie could only sigh. He didn't want to argue with her about this. He came to check up on her condition before the doctor visited. He also would like to share the progress of the investigation regarding the shooting.

"We have captured the man, and as you said, he is merely a commoner driven by fear that you and Ansgar will take over the throne. Apparently, the rumor evolved into nonsensical terror. 

"People believe that you hate them because they killed your parents, in essence. And once you become the queen regnant, you will crush them in every way."

"I see," Yohana muttered.
