106 Test Of Courage Part Five (2/2)

”Rachel! If not for you… If not for you! I would have… Thank you!” Tears streamed down Rachel's cheeks as she cried. Alicia gently hugged the poor girl doing her best to comfort her. The guard who led Alicia here took off his jacket and handed it to Alicia so she could cover Beth.

”Miss, It was a good thing you came or your friend here...” The guard's voice trailed off. He knew many of the girls in this place were ruined in the same way. Luckily this time Alicia showed up before Beth had the same ending as the rest.

”I do not understand the men of this world. All of them who commit crimes seem to only care about money and women!” Alicia thought back to all the bandits she got rid of on her way to the capital. Most of them had women that were kidnapped and brought back to be used as tools for the bandits' lust. She really hated this kind of thing the most! ”You, take Beth back. If I find out you did anything indecent to her I will not hesitate to kill you where you stand!”

”I would not dare! This kind of thing is something I could never do. I at least have my own morals. I might find some of the girls here to be to my liking but I would never force myself on to any of them!” The guard was not stupid. As he said he really never had such thoughts. But even if he did he would never do it to someone who was close with this death god in front of him. This girl who was only fifteen was killing people without batting an eye and doing it as if she was a professional!

”Good, take Beth back to her room. Stand guard outside the female servant quarters and do not enter this house again. I will come out to find you soon. ” Alicia stood up supporting Beth as she did. She whispered a few things into Beth's ear which made Beth's eyes go wide and stare at Alicia in disbelief. Alicia only smiled and passed Beth to the guard and sent them on their way. Only when she saw them exit the building did she make her way to the third floor.

Outside on the snowy path, Beth was supported by the guard. She looked up at the guard and asked: ”What's your name?”

”Aha, it's Gram...” The guard awkwardly answered.

”Then Gram I thank you for your help.” Beth was truly grateful. If this guard did not bring Alicia there at that time, she would have committed suicide. She would rather die than be used as a toy by those men.

”No, no I did not do anything that is worthy of thanks. I only led the Miss there. But I have to ask what did the Miss tell you earlier?” The guard was very curious as to what was actually said after seeing Beth's reaction earlier.

”She said our freedom will come when the clock's bell tolls.”
