Chapter 42: Ria

Hearing her name, Alice paused in surprise.

She remembered that Allura had mentioned the name of the person they were going to meet. The granddaughter of Gin, Ria.

'Allura only mentioned her name and didn't say what she was like… She said Ria was fun and that the two of us will get along pretty well and that we'll both be under her care.' Alice mused to herself while Ria was bewildered by Alice's reaction.

"Erm… Hello? Is there something wrong with my name?" Ria asked in confusion. After hearing her name, Alice simply turned silent while staring at her.

"No, sorry. Was just surprised." Alice shook her head.

"Surprised by what? Bah, forget that. Do you need some healing blood? Your wound seems quite serious." Ria frowned as she could see Alice's cloak being drenched with her blood.

"It should be okay. Just be careful, since poisonous. Let's leave the forest first. There are some Spectral Maidens on the way out. Dangerous." Alice warned.
