Chris looked at Alicia and those eyes that showed they would not waver if he said no. He let out a long sigh and turned to Greg who was standing behind him. "Greg give her your sword."
"What!? Your highness! If I give her my sword what if she tries to kill you?" Greg shouted.
"Greg, do it! If she wanted to kill me she already had many chances. Plus, if it will give her peace of mind and allow her to come back with us then it is worth the risk. If I end up getting stabbed then it will most likely be because I deserved it!" Chris would not take no for an answer. He was determined to bring Alicia out of the woods and somewhere safe.
Greg reluctantly detached his sword from his hip and handed it to Chris who then in turn stood up and walked over to Alicia. "To show I mean no harm please take this sword. If I try to do anything to you on the way back feel free to use it to defend yourself."
