My eyes slowly opened as I heard the sound of millions of footsteps outside our rented door.

...

Slowly getting up, I looked over at Suki who was still asleep on the bed we shared.

And for a person as loud as her, she slept quiet soundly.

I got up and went to check if Renn and Kain were up, and knocked quietly at their door.

Ren answered

"Oh hey, [Y/N]!" He whispered a bit. "Kain is kinda still sleeping, what are you doing?"

I gestured a hand for him to follow me, as I walked leaded him closer to the front door of the rented room.

"Uhh what is it [Y/N]..."

I opened the front door and there were guards around the door, walking in a hurried manner.

Both me and Renn looked at each other confused before glancing back.

As the guards were passing, we noticed that Itsuki and Ren along with their team were also walking among them.

"Hey, Ren! Itsuki!" I silently shouted over to them.

The two of them stopped and walked over to our door, their team following from behind.

"Oh, [Y/N]. We didn't expect to see you here." Itsuki spoke out.

"What's going on? Where are you guys going?" I asked him, pointing over to the guards that had passed.

"We were told about some... Incident."

"Hey [Y/N], you should come with us." Itsuki spoke over Ren (Ren with blue hair-).

"Alright, I'll go wake Kain up." Renn then left as I went to wake Suki.

"Make sure to meet us at the castle!" Itsuki yelled out to me, before walking off.

I walked into the room both me and Suki shared.

Suki had warmed up to me pretty quickly in one night, but I'm not surprised because of how extroverted she acts...

I shook Suki from the bed, but she stayed dead asleep.

"Hey Suki, we gotta go somewhere." I shook her again by the shoulder.

"Sukiii!" I scream-shouted near her ear.

"So where we going." Kain asked walking in with Renn behind him.

I sweat dropped of how stubborn she was sleeping.

"Wow, she's still asleep." Renn commented.

"Lets just leave her."

I then grabbed a bottled water from our room, and poured it on Suki's face.

She laid still, but then she got up.

"Hello..?"

"..."

"Okay Suki lets just go-"

Time Skip

Naofumi groaned in pain as he was pushed to the ground harshly by the guards that had entered the room.

I stood quietly next to my team, as I didn't believe that something like this would happen so quickly.

"Myne hey! Are you okay?" He dared say after what he had done.

Myne gasped, and then hid behind Motoyasu.

Everyone glared at him. Even I did, as I felt shame to him.

As he sat on the floor, seemingly still confused to what we were talking about. He asked the king where all his armor and money had gone.

"SILENCE YOU FILTH."

The kings words echoed across the huge room.

"...Myne, I'm sorry to ask my dear," The king spoke more quietly "But could you please mind repeating your testimony for us again."

Her breath was shaking as she stumbled on her words.

"I-It happened last night... The shield hero forced his way into my room." She shivered.

"He was stinking drunk! He then grabbed me and pinned me down!"

Naofumi hearing what Myne had said, was in complete shock.

"What are you talking about? I went straight to bed after dinner last night, and I don't drink!"

He was oblivious to what he had done.

"If you're so convinced I did it, then why don't you show some proof?!"

One knight stepped forward and kneeled in front of the king. " We found this while we were searching the shield hero's room, strained against his bed..." The knight on his knees then pulled out what seemed to be a purple small dress.

Myne gasped in fear and hid behind Motoyasu.

'This doesn't add up...'

'(Big brain moment-)'

If Naofumi were to have burst into Myne's room and taken her clothes off there, then how would her clothes have gone to Naofumi's room and been strawn across his bed as if she were assaulted there? The again this could be just a mixed around story but....

I looked back at Myne from behind her.

Could they be...

Lying?

Naofumi was also still at the building when the guards had gone to get him. Maybe saying he then left back to the room and to fall asleep in HIS room if that is where it would have happened. But if the assault really did happen in his room, then he had probably went back to sleep on the purple dress. They make it sound as if the assault had happen in his room, and if saying that-

"Hey, what you thinking about?" Suki interrupted my thoughts.

"Huh? Oh, nothing."

"You seemed to be thinking pretty hard though. C'mon lets go!"

I looked around to see that almost everyone that had been in the palace to gather were now gone.

'Damn..'
