"Oh, my... the princess... that sweet lady is a cripple? Who would've thought that pretty woman, not as pretty as me, would be crippled?"
Alice's words were soaked in fake sympathy, her eyes pretending sadness for the princess.
"Yeah, who would've thought."
Kaisen awkwardly chuckled, feeling a knot of unease in his stomach.
Seeing Alice's earlier reaction had him a bit scared.
"So what about her? Why would you visit her room... at night? Did you go because you felt pity for her?"
Her gaze bore into him, her eyes sharp with suspicion.
"N-no, no, no. I-uhh-I heard she wasn't getting married because she was a cripple—"
"So what? Why were you in her room at night? Huh? What can you do for her marriage?"
She interrupted, her head tilting to the side, a small, sadistic smile playing on her lips.
'What have I gotten myself into!'
"Let me finish, Alice-san... Let me finish and... and you're hurting me."
