บท 139: Kill or be killed

Alvin had just returned from an important mission and was making his way to find Harold to relay everything he found out from following the kitchen staff to the marketplace when Harold entered his head. Since Harold entered, wouldn't he have just asked how it went? But no. He had asked for a gourd of water, and now he was here, facing the harsh glare of Harold's wife. 

Alvin glanced at Harold in confusion. Did he perhaps tell her the truth already and now he was about to get into the Princess' bad books because he was being loyal to his disloyal master? Or was she saying this because she had regained her memory and was testing them?

"You don't have to look at him. He already told me all about the attack. I can't believe you lied to me, Alvin. And I was beginning to trust you," Alicia said to Alvin with a disappointed and dejected look. She looked so in character that Harold almost believed he had truly told her something.
