Looking at the scene in front of her, Alice was speechless.

Massaging her eyes, she wasn't sure how she should react.

"Didn't you say… You were just going to find the gambling arena? How did you even end up in this situation?" She sighed, looking at Ria who was chained and cuffed up in a cell.

"I'm sorry for what my friend caused. Would it be alright if I take her from here?" Alice asked as she glanced over to the guard next to her.
