Bab 217: The confession

Harvey stepped forward and grabbed both Alicia and Paulina's hair, and as they cried out in pain, he whispered, "Hang in there a little longer. I believe you. And we are trying to prove your innocence. You have to survive this."

"How could you hurt Princess Tyra? You deserve what you're getting," He growled for the benefit of others before he let go of their hair and walked away, ignoring the strange look he was receiving from the others who were wondering why he did that since he didn't seem close to the princess.

He believed her? He said 'we'. Who were the 'we'? Was it Susan? But Harvey wasn't close to Susan, or was he? Alicia wondered, but she didn't have much time to think as the guards placed a cloth over her face, and before she could guess what they were up to, they started pouring water into her face, and her cries came in muffled gasps as she struggled to breathe.
