Capítulo 167: The Trial Of Survival

Alicia, lost in her contemplation, was startled by Matilda's sudden entrance into the bathroom. The clatter of hurried footsteps accompanied Matilda's anxious voice.

"His Highness said you were- Oh God! What's this?!" Matilda's eyes widened in alarm as she took in the sight of the overflowing bath. Without wasting a moment, she rushed towards the tub, her hands swiftly turning off the tap to prevent further spillage. "I thought you were sick, so, why did you get into the water? You're going to increase your temperature, not to mention wet the bandage."

Matilda's tone carried a mix of concern and scolding, a reflection of her dedication to ensuring Alicia's well-being. As she spoke, she grabbed a nearby towel and handed it to Alicia, her gaze filled with a stern insistence that conveyed both worry and a subtle reprimand.
