Chapter 26 Interrogation (1/2)
In an unknown place a maid was seen tied up on a chair. Her face was covered with a sack. She was sobbing non stop.
”Why are you doing this? Why am I here?” The maid asked. ”Please let me go.”
”Don't you remember what you have done?” Dimitri asked. ”Can't you remember what you did to the third princess' horse?”
The maid shivered after hearing Dimitri's words.
”I don't know what you are talking about.” The maid denied. ”I am innocent.”
”Ohhh. You think no one saw you?” Dimitri said. ”Too bad that one of the stable boys saw you come out the stables suspiciously.”
The maid shivered even more.
”I-I made an errand inside the stables. Th-that's why I was there.” The maid replied. ”Please just let me go.”
”Aren't you afraid of what we can do to make you talk?” Dimitri asked.
”P-please believe me. I didn't do anything wrong.” The maid was crying.
”You won't tell the truth? Then prepare yourself.” Dimitri said menacingly.

”Ahhhhh....please stop.” Screams are coming from a wooden shed in the middle of nowhere.
Leon just arrived riding his horse. It was half past midnight already. A shadow guard appeared in front of him and took the horse's reins. Leon alighted from his horse.
”How is the interrogation going?” Leon asked.
”Your highness, sir Dimitri has started to torture the perpetrator.” The shadow guard replied.
”Has she confessed yet?” Leon asked. A coldness was seen in his eyes.
”Your highness, the maid has been very stubborn. She is still denying any involvement.” The shadow guard answered.
Leon emitted a strong menacing aura. The shadow guard felt it and shivered in fear.
'Our prince is really angry. I'm afraid the maid won't live until morning.' The shadow guard thought.
”Bring me to them.” Leon commanded.
”Yes your highness.” The shadow guard bowed and led Leon inside.
”Ahhhh...” The maid was screaming.
”Do you want me to stop?” Dimitri asked. ”Then tell me the truth.”
The maid was crying. ”Yes, I'll talk. Please just stop.”
Dimitri stopped torturing the girl.
”Yes it was me. I was the one who put the shard in the horse's hoof.” The maid confessed.
”Who told you to do it?” Dimitri asked.
The maid was silent.
”You don't want to tell?” Dimitri asked.
Leon looked at the girl that was covered with a sack. She looked so pitiful. Dimitri saw Leon come.
”Your highness.” Dimitri bowed.
”Remove her cover.” Leon ordered.
Dimitri was shocked but do what he was told.
'It looks like the prince won't go of this girl alive. What a pity.' Dimitri thought.
