"Pannis." A silhouette flashed, and Catherine, who had rushed to the rescue, had appeared by Pannis's side. Before he could fall, she grabbed his arm, letting him lean on her, and urgently shouted, "Lina, hurry over here, Your Majesty, come have a look as well, see if there's anything you can help with."
"I'm all right, I won't die." Pannis gasped for air, clutching the still-bleeding wound on his chest and shaking his head. Then, suddenly puzzled, he looked at Flare and asked, "Why are you here? Is something wrong?"
"I..." Flare didn't even take a second to think before she decided to hide her suspicions. Everyone was unaware of the situation inside; if Pannis didn't know it was Nellie's little scheme, and if he really had killed the person as Nellie had hoped, then revealing the truth would be sending Pannis to his doom. Thus, the queen just smiled gently and softly said, "Nothing much, I was just a bit worried about you, so I came to check on you first."
