The determined Alicia Queen is here!

Alicia bumped into Susan, who was coming out of Prince Harold's chamber with a dejected look on her face. 

Both Susan and Alicia stopped walking as soon as they saw each other. Susan, especially, looked awkward until Alicia made the move and resumed walking. When she got closer to Susan, she stopped and asked, "Is he awake?" 

Susan seemed a bit surprised that Alicia was initiating a conversation. She nodded and looked back at the door. "But he fell back asleep." 

Alicia nodded. "Thanks to you, he could survive."

"I didn't have a choice. My brother's life was also in danger." Susan said modestly. 

Alicia nodded in understanding. 

Silence passed between them, making it even more awkward. However, Alicia spoke, breaking the silence. 

"You don't have to feel too awkward around me. I have already let go of whatever hurt I felt about the secret you all kept from me." She said in a sincere tone.
