Chương 97: Bodyguards.

Once the door closed behind her, Alice turned to face Sam. They stared at each other for a few seconds, the tension in the room growing by the moment. 

After a long minute of silence the white haired commander moved. Sam's body went stiff seeing her approach him, but defying his expectations she threw herself onto his chest as she hugged him tightly.

"... um… Alice?" Sam was confused for a moment, but when he heard what she said next he understood the reason behind her actions.

"You're safe." Alice spoke, nuzzling up against him. "I was so worried…"

"R-really now…" 

Sam's nervousness grew a thousand golds seeing that she was now close enough to notice the strange odor coming from his body. Despite that he returned the hug, slowly patting her head. 

Of course his trooper was quick to stand for attention and that didn't go unnoticed by the white haired beauty. 

Alice glanced down before looking up at him with half lid eyes.
