Alicia looked at the young man who was smiling at her, with great suspicion. She did not lower her weapon as she said: "If you have a question then ask. I may not be all that strong, but if you make any funny moves, I know for a fact that I can at least take you with me."
The young man looked at Alicia's unwavering eyes and was a bit surprised but at the same time, a flash of interest could be seen in his eyes. "Little Miss, worry not, we will not harm you in any way. My name is Prince Christophe, normally everyone calls me Prince Chris. You may just call me Chris. No need for honorifics."
"Your highness!" The bearded man yelled out in dismay. It seemed to Alicia that the bearded man was not happy how the Prince was being so friendly with me.
