•••(Prove your innocent)°°°
★★★
Castiel detached from the kiss when he noticed she was already suffocating.
He touched her chin, carresing it and asked foolishly:
“Why’s your lips tempting?”
“What do you mean?” She asked innocently.
“Never mind. Should I take you back to your suite or you still wanna go by yourself?” He asked, changing the topic.
“I can still manage, so don’t worry.” She gave him a sweet smile.
“You seems to forgetting I won’t allow that after I witnessed you almost falling down..” And without hesitation, he carried her in a bridal style.
“What’s that?”
“Nothing serious, just enjoy yourself in my arms.” He said and he couldn’t help smiling saying this.
“You… put me down please..” She pleaded, trying to free herself in his arms.
“Show me all you got coz that is an impossible thing.”
“Put me down, please! People might be watching us!” She cried out with tears gathering in her eyes.
“Let’s them keep watching. They’ll soon get tired.” After what he said, he never say a word to her despite her pleas.
He was only smiling, enjoying the child’s play..

Naomi’s suite
Castiel placed her gently on the bed. A maid come in with a clean cloth and water to clean Naomi’s wound.
“You may leave now.” He ordered.
“But my Lord..Yes, My Lord… I’ll get going..” She said and make way to the door, while she shut down the door behind.
“Why did you want to clean my wounds yourself?” She asked, turning to him.
“Because I know you’re still hidding your identity as a thief.” He declared and she was speechless for a while.
“Where did you get that information from?” She inquired further.
“It doesn’t matter. Fear not, I won’t divulge it on one condition.” He said while cleaning her wound.
“You have a condition?” She asked in suprise.
“Yes..”
“And what’s your condition? Then.” She suddenly asked after the long silence.
**
The patients are seen struggling for their lives; they hardly could breath as the poison as penetrated into their bodies making them lose their senses.
They started killing each other without a reason while the physicians watched the deadly scenario with happiness.
**
“You wanna know it?”
“Yes, what’s it?”
“Only if you promise me not to steal again then I’ll keep your secret. I won’t get a third person involved.” Castiel demanded.
“I can’t.” She said, rejecting his offer.
“Because that seems like a big task to me. I can’t stop it for some personal reasons.” She added.
“If you aren’t ready, then I’ll..”
“Alright,… Alright..Ouch!! That hurts..” She whimpered, pushing him hand away with the leg in anger.
“Why did you do that?”
“Do what?”
“You did that interntionally, stop pretending to be innocent.”
“Am I not? How’re you so sure I did it on purpose? It could by mistake.” Castiel said, defending himself.
“You have been the one cleaning it and you don’t make it hurts me, you did it with care. But after I refused your offer..”
“Should I do it again? That’s the way I treat someone I care about.. So it’s an act of care.”
“An act of care or wickedness?!” She corrected, yelling at him.
“Anyhow you want it as, so shall it be it..” He replied, she turned to the other side trying to ignore him but she turned her back to him.
“So, are you in?”
“In for what? That’s never going to come to pass!” She said stubbornly.
“I know you’re stubborn, but I have got your size and I’ll give it to you if you want me to. Should we begin with a different torture? Are you in? This’s your last time; stop stealing and I’ll keep your secret.” He said with seriousness this time and she swallowed hard, not knowing what to say.

Onami’s suite
“Who sent the assassin to assassinate us? Why’re we wanted dead?” Onami said sadly to herself as the memory of her lost friend flowed in her brain each seconds.
She wasn’t living in the palace, her place was quite different. She was given a suite closer to the issolated place set aside for the patients.
She heard someone knocking her door so hard, she couldn’t make way to the door coz she was d@mn scared. Sweats gathered on her forehead due to fear.
“Who’s there?” She asked, mustering some courage.
“It’s me, Miss.” Mimi said in a whispers. Though Onami recongnized her voice, but she couldn’t come to the door. She felt it could be a set-up.
“Mimi?” She called for clarification.
“Yes, Miss Onami. Open the door, please..” She pleaded.
“What?! You want me to open the door for you?” She repeated.
“Yes, please. Someone wanted us dead!” She announced, shocking Onami the more.
The only thing that controlled her now is fear. But she tried to fight it back and act like a strong woman.
“Okay!” She concluded, and she reluctantly walked towards the door.
She breathed a sigh of relief after she saw her.
“Mimi? Come in!” She opened the door wider for her so she could come in.
“What happened? What brings you here?” She asked.
“The physicians wanted us dead. They gave the others a medicine, and it kills them slowly.
“Are you sure about it?” She asked.
“Yes, Miss. They’re pretenders.. They’re only pretending to be nice and kind to us..” She explained.
“Okay, stay here.. Let me go and check the patients.” Onami said, as she make way to the door, Mimi was quick to grasp her hand.
“Miss, you can’t go.. Your life could be in danger.” Mimi said with worry.
“I have to go, I have to go and save them!”
“No, you can’t! Miss.. Please.”
“Mimi, please stop this and let go!” Onami said calmly.
“No, please.” Mimi pleaded, her body suddenly became pale.
Onami turned back only to find her in that position.
“What’s wrong?” She asked, with keen interest.
“I need the medicine now please, Miss..” She pleaded weakly, and her hand began to lost contact with hers.
“Let’s me go and quickly pre..”
She bent down to her hand and bite her.
“Ahhh!!” Onami whimpered, trying to push her away when she did, she became dizzy and fainted right in front of her.
Mimi realized what she did, but it was too late before she realized it.
“Miss..!! Miss!!” She called in fear.
**
Later in the day
Onami woke up only to find herself in a different place. It looks like a prison. And her body was filled with many bruises.
Someone came to her dragging somebody along with her.
“Looking for this?” She said referring to Mimi who was already dead.
“Mimi?” She called weakly.
“So, you actually know her? His Majesty asked us to punish the both of you with an allegation of trying to kill his people.” The lady declared.
“Her Highness as arrived!!” A servant declared. The queen walked in with a smile on her face.
“I know I would get you, you’re gonna die soon. I wonder why you and her kept escaping my trap. I’ll never let you get the original book that’s written by your mother. No one can take it away from me, not even you, her, or him. You’re all worthless to stand on my way!!” Queen Amyra said, laughing out loud like an insane woman.
“Your Highness.. what’re… you.. talking.. about..?” Onami asked faintfully and she fainted after some seconds.
Queen Amyra left with a numerous of happiness flowing inside her.

At the executioner ground
Onami was seen tied up with a prisoner chain.
The executor was about to cut off her head, but he heard the king said commandly:
“STOP!!”
He stopped immediately, though his sword was thirsty for blood.
Arthur walked to the execution ground, people stared at him wondering what he wanted to do.
The executor moved to the other side and suprisingly, Arthur bent down to her level.
He looked straight into her eyes.
“Did you really did this?” He asked, Onami opened her eyes with struggles.
“I didn’t do it..Onami said moving closer to him to give him more explanations.
“Then, why’re you accussed for it?”
“I didn’t do it, I wanted to cure them.. I know I’m all alone right now, but they killed the only evidence I had.” She declared.
“Your evidence? Who? ”
“Mimi, one of the patient..”
“Who killed her?” He asked, showing interest in her revelation.
“I d..on’t.. know.., Your Majesty…”
“But I know she was killed by someone. She wasn’t sick. Believe me, Your Majesty..”
“How did you expect me to believe you? You got no enough prove to backed up your innocent..” Arthur said.
“Please.. believe.. me.. Your Majesty..” She said and fainted in front of him..
