"Forgive us, Your Highness!" The three officers went in front of Lauren with their heads bowed. They were too embarrassed to meet her gaze.
"Seeing how nervous you are, I assume you must have been rude," Alec said, eyeing the officers darkly.
Lauren looked at Alec. "Can you make arrangements for these girls? You can let them work in your mansion or somewhere else where they can stay."
"How charitable," Alec raised his brow and she expected him to mock her but it did not come. Instead, he called for his commandant who was with him.
"Matthias, you heard the princess. Make arrangements for these girls."
"Yes, milord."
Facing the three officers, Alec spoke firmly, "Look how big of a man you are, but you are harassing some little girls in public. I suppose it is not part of your job?"
"N-no, milord! It's not part of our job! Please spare us, we just recently assumed our posts here in the town!" said the fat officer who was sweating bullets.
