Devastated by what just happened, tears continued to flow from Selena's eyes. She couldn't believe that after all the hatred she gave her, she received kindness in return. Now, feeling guilty about what she had done, she wept.
She wasn't the only one devastated. Even the maids who grew fond of Rania, Rose, Lily, and Iris who just arrived at the scene, and the soldiers, too.
"The National Treasure…'' murmured one of the soldiers.
"The king specifically ordered her protection and preservation…"
"Oh no, we are doomed! If he learns about this ..."
"You better have an explanation for this!" shouted the other soldier to the nobles who were trying to escape.
"No, we didn't do anything to her," one of the young nobles defended himself.
"It was her! We were only following her" said the other while pointing his fingers at Selena.
"It was your knife who hit my lady!" exclaimed one of the angry maids.
