"Please we need to forget about it all, it like a night mare to me" Clara says as she doesn't ever want to think of what happened

"They need to be arrested"

"Who will arrest them? You?" Clara ask

"They drugged us" Shila screamed.

"And if you arrest them, we will also be implicated for going to the club, and my parents will see you as a bad influence on me, and we will never be friends again, do you see why we need to forget about it and go take our bath because we really stink" Clara flared up

"Alright I agree" Shila surrendered.

"Are you arresting my daughter?" Mr Anderson says provoked.

"No, the king is dieing, the disappearance of the name of her arm is due to the frail health of the king to be, please permit us to take her with us" the guards say kneeling
