Chapter 342: Cut it out, don’t kill her
"Elizabeth," she called and Elizabeth flinched. "Any last words?" She asked and lunged towards her ready to make the kill.
Elizabeth squirmed. She didn’t want to go down without a fight. At least, she could put up a defense and block whatever attack she would throw at her but why wasn’t her body moving? Why?! Was she really going to die?
But just then, Leo stepped forward, intercepting in the little distance that was left between them, so Alice had to come to a forced halt.
"Alice," He called with his calm and endearing tone, and she glazed her eyes at him. What was he doing?
"What are you doing?" She asked him with a frown on her face. "Are you protecting her?"
Elizabeth looked at the back of the man who had stepped in between Alice’s attack. Did he step forward because he knew how special she was?
Her eyes lit up with hope, but Leo’s next words shattered that hope.
"No, she can die for all I care," Leo coldly said. "She was rude first, so she pretty much deserves it, but..." He glanced over his shoulder at her.
His eyes bored into Elizabeth and she shivered even more, bowing her head. She was scared.
"She’s still pretty much a child." He said, and Alice folded her arms, her aura dispersing immediately, and what was left was the stickling expression on her face.
"Yeah, we’re both kids. What about it?" She asked and he raised an eyebrow at him. "I get your point but why can’t I kill her?"
