"That does make things a little difficult you know?" Alice sighed deeply while scratching her hair.
"Is the commission really that important to you?"
"Unfortunately it is." Rowan reaffirmed as Alice put down her hands and sighed once more.
She had wanted to avoid this but there was no helping it. She'll make it quick.
Turning around, Alice looked as though she was about to leave when she exploded with blinding speed and shot towards Rowan, surprising the party.
"FIGHT BACK!" Rowan shouted, raising his shield at the last moment and barely being able to block Alice's sword strike.
"Ohya~ Old man that was quite the fast reaction speed." Alice chuckled as she expected him to be knocked out immediately from her surprise attack.
Of course, her turning around was simply to let Ria know not to kill them. She wanted to spare them if she could since it was simply a conflict of interest.
