As we walked into the clothes store, I noticed many things. Most of the things were dresses, boots, skirts, and crop tops. "Pick out what you want, I'll pay"

"Really!?" Embot asked, her eyes shining. I was wondering why she would ask that. Isn't she rich? "Yeah"

She smiled joyfully before running off. "This...is gonna be a bad idea...." I muttered.

Five minutes later, she came out wearing a blue, knee high dress with white lineing and hood, and a pair of white boots. "How do I look?" She asked joyfully. "Good- great-" I said, giving a thumbs up. 'So much for keeping a low profile' I thought to myself.

I paid for everything and left.
"Why did you run away?" I asked calmly. She looked down and sighed "My mother...Is a bad person..."

"When I was younger, my father was murdered. The guards searched all over the city, hired the best detectives, and even tried to convince me that he wasn't dead but...it was no use. I accepted the fact that he was gone..." She said

I was shocked! How come they didn't find the killer?

Then it hit me. "Is...Is there a chance that they never found the killer...because the killer was in the kingdom...?"

Embot stopped and looked at me "What? What do you mean?"

"You know how you said your mother was a bad person?" I asked "Was she bothered by your father's death?"

Embot thought for a moment "No? What does that have to- oh"

We both thought the same thing. The king was killed by the queen.
