The Faceless Thief Act (2)

"Don't attack her!" Alina cried at this moment, and a powerful aura surfaced her fragile figure, and she vanished from her spot, leaving behind silver ice. 

She reappeared between the calm human and two bewildered humans, and her eyes were filled with icy might as she looked at Herman and Lillian. 

"Stand down, both of you!" She ordered with an irrefutable tone. 

Even Herman was shocked as he had never seen Alina so worked up or talking to him like this. Lillian was completely dumbfounded and slowly retracted her aura while she glanced at the human behind Alina, who had this strange smile on her face. 

Both Herman and Lillian understood that Alina's strong reaction was the result of that woman's ambiguous words, which didn't make sense. But Herman was different from Lillian, and a very absurd notion surfaced in his mind as his old eyes went widened with utter disbelief.
