บท 446: "You all wanted a witch..."

Alicia had already taken a protective stance in front of Paulina, and from the look in her eyes, she was daring anyone to try and take her away, even though she was scared. 

Run, protect yourselves. I... will cover for you." The guard, who had been watching everything unfold, managed to speak as he pushed himself off the wall and grabbed his sword tightly. 

Alicia turned to look at him and then at Paulina before she looked in the direction of the men. While some were almost done with whatever weapon they were assembling to break down the solid doors, four men were approaching them, and it was quite obvious they were coming for her and Paulina. As for the guard, of course, they were going to get rid of the little hindrance too. 

Alicia quickly turned back to Paulina and shoved her at the guard, who could barely keep himself up.

"Protect yourself," Alicia said strictly, and almost immediately, Paulina shook her head.
