In the Afternoon:-

Mannat like everyday burst in Nayab's or let's say her room through balcony. She look around for Nayab but when she didn't find her she begin to call her name.

Nayab : I'm in here.

Mannat : What are you doing in the bathroom with pen/paper?

Nayab : Solving your murder.

Mannat : How?

Nayab : By writing down the suspects.

Mannat : Suspects?

Nayab : Yeah, like you said there was a royal dinner which included Shah family as well as The Royal family.

Mannat : Right?

Nayab : So based on this information we have 7 suspects.

Mannat : Five because Naaz Aunty and Zeba didn't come to the dinner as Zeba was preparing for her exam.

Nayab : Okay, plus other people who Ranimaa mentioned to us.

Mannat : As in?

Nayab : To kill someone you need a motive. The legal advisor doesn't have one so he is out of the picture. Rest are the doctor, Mr Akif, Mr Ansari, Mr Amjad along with the staff who is assumed to be loyal.

Mannat : What do you mean by assumed?

Nayab : Money can buy anything in this world Mannat even loyalty. The doctor can prepare fake reports, head chef could add something in your food.

Mannat : You think so?

Nayab : On the other hand people like Mr Ansari/Mr Amjad can be so loyal to their employer that they can even help them in burying a murder.

Mannat{hopefully} : I don't want any of this to be true.

Nayab : As they say "Innocent until proven guilty" similar to that "Everyone is a suspect until proven innocent"

Mannat : How do you know all of this?

Nayab{chuckle} : Currently I'm watching "How to get away with a murder" on Netflix.

Mannat : What motive can these five people have?

Nayab : Look at this. {She forward her a sheet}

Ranimaa - Maybe regretting her decision to give Mannat the throne.

Muheeb Ali - Hold Mannat responsible for Murtaza Ali's death.

Suraiyya Ali - Think Mannat took away her son's throne.

Zaroon Shah - To weaken the Royal family so that his family can become the richest.

Zia Shah - Maybe doesn't want to marry Mannat.

Mannat : Firstly I don't think anyone of them murdered me.{sadly} Secondly if any of them would have just asked me I would have withdrawn myself from the throne.

Nayab : Anger/Revenge/Motive can make a person do things that he/she wouldn't do in normal circumstances.

Mannat : You sound like a lawyer. It's enough for today let's go.

Nayab : Where?

Mannat : Tara will arrive in some hours.
