A deep sigh Selene took. Irueles, Coma left the room with Niel as Selene dropped off her head at the bed. Staring at an empty space, she thinks about living.
"It would be impossible for me to get back at the market after what's happened..
--I'm in a dip sh*t.
Speaking of which, I can probably work instead at the market to cut some beefs"
Slightly laughed and closed her eyes. After a while, Irueles again entered the ward and was asking for Selene's attention. She opened her eyes looking directly to Irueles.
"Miss Selene"
/peeked.
/Opened her eyes entirely.
"Sir?"
"I do believe that you never wanted any of this to happen, however, you need to come with us"
Selene paused a bit as the silence occured the room, Irueles, waiting for the young lady's response.
"If I cannot object, then I shall"
An hour has passed, they proceeded to go to the palace. At first, Selene who stepped down the carriage stopped in a while, looking at the place, because of this, Irueles noticed Selene hesitating to come with them.
"Young lady, you alright?"
"I-I-uh-, I'm just spacing out, my apologies"
"Then shall we?"
Selene bowed her head as a sign that she agreed. Her hands were cuffed along her side Captain Irueles that have brought her to the palace. They went to the interrogation room where a soldier and Leon just went out. They have met eyes before Selene entered.
"She's being interrogated too huh?"
"I believe she is."
Leon sat at the hall waiting for the others to meet him and after Selene was interrogated.
Inside, she was asked.
"Your age please?"
"17"
"So you're still minor, name?"
"Selene."
The interviewer looked at her eyes waiting for her to speak up again.
"Selene--??"
"S-Simon Selene"
"Simon is your name, Selene is your surname?, maybe your parents thought that you're a bo--"
"No. Both Simon and Selene are my name. I have no surname"
"Why?"
"Is that what you're going to ask me?"
"Oh, no, I'm sorry, so we must proceed. The report I have here is that you have stolen--"
"Chief"
A sudden open of door from the room where both were doing the interaction. A voice from a soldier have heard as he entered.
"I haven't locked the door.."
"Yes chief you haven't. General Fourth is outside wanting to see the both you"
"Is that really necessary before we proceed? or have he not known that I'm conducting an interview?"
General Fourth, walks where the interrogation was held. He stood behind the soldier's back and speaks up.
"I knew you'd be curious"
/The soldier in front of him was startled.
"Si-sir, I told chief already that--"
"General. My apologies"
"Please come outside for better conversation"
"Why of course, yes..
Selene, follow me please, this the general's order"
Selene stands up and followed where they'll be going, she looks around, hand cuffed until she saw the boy who tried to help him. They stopped at the general's main office with Lt. Col. Viess who's standing beside the general's desk.
"She's the one accused?"
; asked Lt. Col. Viess.
"She is"
; answered Chief Cyro who's in charge of interrogation office.
"Leonel, by any chance, do know her?"
; another question from Lt. Col. Viess.
"No. Just someone who's being blamed from doing nothing"
; answered Leonel.
"She may be proven innocent as of now because of another report from the market that the boxes stolen were back, and it is indeed the one that's missing"
; General Fourth speaks.
The lady from the market who accused her from stealing showed up in front of the door accompanied by a soldier of division B.
"Sir..Selene.."
"She was in a real trouble after agreeing with the soldiers to get that girl without her"
; said Leonel.
"I'm- I'm so sorry"
; The vendor who's crying.
"Lacking ethics?"
; asked Leonel.
"N-no.. it just happened that I was emotionally driven and I didn't thought about anything that time I--"
/sobbing.
"Quit it--"
; Leonel, glaring at the vendor who is tearing.
/Lt Col. Viess, chuckles.
"Dear Leonel, I understand your concern as a witness. Miss Selene, you may proceed at the lobby hall, We need something to ask more."
; said Lt. Col. Viess who walked towards the door and went outside.
"Oh, and Leonel, stay here inside while we conduct questions to Selene."
; added Lt. Col. Viess at the door.
They all proceeds to go outside, following Lt. Col. Viess, on the other hand, Leonel and Gen. Fourth was left alone inside.
"Manners, hmm?"
; asked Gen. Fourth.
"Yes I'm sorry"
; answered Leonel, bowing his head down.
"I understand your thoughts young man, but next time be more careful, in the end, you'll be no different from them"
"I was filled with anger, seeing her cry doesn't make sense at all. What you could just see is her being afraid to be imprisoned isn't she?"
"Haha.. I see you're very keen, It's not so soon enough to join the party"
"I'd be glad to, if of course I'll be a help here in--"
"No. Stay as it is, you'll be able to understand why, right away"
"Hope so"
