Nero burst out laughing as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world. "Are you daydreaming? Do you really want me to kneel down and ask for forgiveness?"
"W-What's so funny? I just said that for your sake; you better do what I said, otherwise-"
She didn't even finish speaking when Nero interrupted, "Else, what? Huh?"
"I... I..." Emily couldn't even think straight when looking into Nero's eyes. She felt as if a wild beast was looking at a helpless lamb, and with any sudden movement, she too would be attacked.
Maia, who was in that time in silence, seeing that things were taking a strange direction, and as much as she wanted Nero to attack Emily and be punished for it, she knew that if she just kept watching, the others could start a fight here that would probably do more harm than good. "Emily, thanks for defending me. I'm fine, I swear. She already apologized to me, so she doesn't need to talk about it anymore. She just mistook me for someone else."
