Hearing a soft voice, Arthur was startled and attempted to sit up as he looked ahead.
"Alicia?" he exclaimed, surprised, as he spotted a teenage girl who appeared to be around his age.
It was his younger sister, Alicia Asvold!
In Arthur's eyes, Alicia had grown into an exceptionally beautiful woman, far surpassing her childhood innocence.
Her face radiated a maturity that belied her age.
Furthermore, her body was developing splendidly, with room for further growth.
As Arthur struggled to stand up, Alicia quickly rushed over to him, supporting his body, and asked with evident concern, "What happened to you, big brother?"
Noticing the dirt on his clothes and his body's stiffness, she looked closely at the back of his dust-soiled shirt and the slightly torn pants.
Alicia's anxiety increased as she noticed his pale face and the visible sweat on his neck and forehead.
