"Lying in front of me, Nick, you still have much to learn."
"Your Highness..."
"I knew when I was abroad that you were poisoning me over time. You took my trust as your boldness."
"Your Highness, spare me. I was forced. I have no grievances with Your Highness and would never dare to act on my own. It was Your Highness who coerced me."
"Oh? Your Highness forced you?" Emma Bennett retorted, "What did he force you to do?"
"He told me he was the future President, and as long as I listened to him, he would keep me close by in the future. If I didn't, he would kill my entire family."
Emma Bennett sneered, "Do you really think if I died, he would keep you by his side? Naive, Nick, do you know the consequences of poisoning me?"
Nick lay on the ground, his face paled a few shades in fear, "Your Highness, spare me. I promise I'll do whatever you say if you let me go."
