315 Chase

Aria didn't immediately help her as it might just trigger the knights even more.

She decided to listen to their conversation in the meantime. 

"There are many witnesses about your argument with the Count's son yesterday. You have to explain yourself." One of the knights demanded as he confronted Stella.

The latter didn't seem intimidated as she sighed before speaking.

"I'm sorry. I don't have any recollection of what you're talking about. There was indeed a conflict where I got involved yesterday but it's related to someone who can't pay 50 gold coins to the seller. There's no way that a Count's son would be involved with that. You might have to check your sources again before coming to me."

Stella replied calmly asserting her innocence.

The three knights were then stunned after hearing her argument. Anyway, they have just received the information about the incident from various people, they couldn't easily tell who's telling the truth.
