Larel stood up from her kneeling position and went to stand in front of Kitanna. "The mouse wants to help Almaria escape, possibly tonight. She came to me, but I told her that I am too scared to help out," she spoke her words carefully, trying not to utter any lies to the princess.

"I don't want to betray you anymore. It was a moment I regret the most; I shouldn't walk in that path anymore," Larel replied, pressing her lips.
