"Why are you late?" Nancy asked.
"There was a huge fire. It was like a war bomb." Ash said sadly, shaking her head and shrugging.
"SHIT!" Anna shouted.
"What?" Nancy raised eyebrow looking at Anna, who stood up as soon as Ash had entered the classroom.
"Were there any survivors?" Anna asked, worried and on the verge of crying, AND clearly ignoring Nancy.
"Look, I know you are worried, but...."Nacy was cut off mid sentence.
"I don't know. Why? You look like you might know something." Ash asked really seriously.
"Let's talk outside." Anna said.
"Excuse ME!" Nancy said, but Anna and Ash were already out.
"You are excused." Hazy said as she got up to leave too.
"HUH?" Nancy squealed.
"TODAY, EACH ONE OF US WILL COME COMPLETELY CLEAN, NO MATTER WHATEVER CONSECUENCES ARE." Anna said, making herself pretty clear.
"Okay, I'll go first. I am PRINCESS Hazel. I am here after bribing my mates at my "Your Highness " school, and I am here only because of Anna. I was horse riding in woods when I saw Anna killing Mary." Hazy confessed.
"I am Annalese or hidden heir. I did kill Mary because of her betrayal. I am my father's hidden and precious gem because I am the only one among all my siblings who can have the business after him. In other words, all my siblings are useful and talented, but because I can't do anything, I will be handed over an already conquered kingdom. I don't need any talent anyway. I am fine, the way I am, just rather be alone." Anna claimed.
"I am Ashley or agent shadow. I was on a mission to find the heir to stop illegal activities. I thought it was Rose. I targeted her and doubted her. I just disturbed her before coming here. She'll probably be thinking I am a physco."
"She'll probably be dead." Anna commented.
"WHAT?!?" Hazy and Ash shouted together.
"I doubted her to be the witness, which turned out to be Hazel, no PRINCESS Hazel. Right?" Anna teased rudely.
"Noooo. It can't be. You are here. You couldn't have killed her." Ash said.
"My father. The bomb." Anna shrugged sadly.
"You think it's a joke. Is it funny? STOP.!. You were like this from the beginning." Ash shouted. She rushed out of their and out from the gate. A tear rolled down her cheek. She opened the door in and sat in the car, slammed the door shut, and looked straight at Dazai, who was looking back at her, shocked.
"DRIVE," Ash shouted.
"Oh, OK." Dazai muttered as he started the engine nervously.
......
"How did you know her name was Mary?" Anna asked Hazel as soon as Ash rushed out.
"I did not, but I do now." Hazy said.
"I am sure I heard you say it." Anna said dangerously as though it was a warning.
"Why are you worried. She is dead. I saw it. Why are you so paranoid?"
"Thd corpse Sephr brought was deformed, which I am sure was not Mary. Dad thought I did a good job, so I didn't tell him, but I know it was not Mary. Hazel, if I find out it has something to do with you, I can assure you, you will regret it."
"Annoying," Hazy remarked.
