"It hasn't been long since you have entered the castle and now you tell us that you truly, deeply, and sincerely care for all the sorcerers here?" Alice chuckled with her upper lips tugged, a kind of smile that gets on everyone's nerves. "I find that hardly convincing. The last time someone utters that they care for others, instead they were the first to abandon those they claim to care."
At this, Ariel frowned.
The woman's words were far too sharp, far too instigating.
Everything she said was spoken as if to offend, to create doubt between two people, the type of person who only thrives when seeing others in distrust.
Sure enough upon her words Morpheus's eyes on her also turned doubtful.
She heaved her breath, smiling back at Alice but not meekly, "The one I wish to protect are here in the castle and only to them will I have to answer my sincerity, not to an outsider."
