Bab 318: MASS RELEASE (10)

"We cannot leave now," Alicia said with a soft sigh. Although she understood Paulina's fear, she didn't think running away was an option.

"WE ARE SURROUNDED BY DANGEROUS PEOPLE!" Paulina raised her voice in fear, startling Alicia.

Alicia placed a hand on her lip, gesturing for her to keep quiet. 

"They can hear you," she whispered into Paulina's ears, and her already wide eyes grew even wider. 

"What... do we do?" She asked in a frightened tone. "What... if they hurt us? You are in danger already at the palace. What are we going to do?" Paulina asked as she started to cry, and Alicia pulled her close to her body, hugging her. 

"Do you think Williams is capable of hurting you?" 

Alicia asked, causing Paulina to stiffen. She hadn't even thought about Williams in all of this.

He... was a monster too? Williams? 

The realization made her begin to cry loudly as she hugged and held onto Alicia with all her might.
