I rushed towards Rika and crouched to see her face better. "What happened to you? Why are you kneeling here?" I asked as I tried to help her get up, but she shook her head with tears coming out of her eyes. "What's wrong?"
"Your attendant has stolen something valuable from lady Tomoe's room." One of Tomoe's attendants said. She was the one glaring at me before. "What kind of discipline do you do, lady Noelle? How come your attendant doesn't have any integrity?"
I raised an eyebrow. "That can't be. Rika isn't the type of person to steal something from anyone."
Rika started to cry as I pulled her up from the ground. "Stop helping your servant when she's in complete wrong." Tomoe's attendant said, making me raise an eyebrow as I looked at her.
"What did she steal then?" The attendant backed away after I asked that.
"I-It's. I cannot tell the lady as you'll just make lies."
