 Henri's words silenced Alan.

 Even if ...... Alicia had saved him, he might have been drowned out by Liz's words.

 Alicia is probably not saying that she doesn't hate Alan because she is open-minded and kind.

 It is easy to imagine that Alicia is not here. I can see her being happy.

 The more her brothers hate her and try to kill her, the better she will look." I'm so grown up to have such hatred for my brother!" I bet you're thinking.

 At first I didn't understand what she was saying, but now I've come to understand most of her.

 I thought she was a masochist, but she is not. She's just trying very hard to be the bad girl she thinks she is.

 Hmm? If you think about it, we're doing a hell of a lot more than we should be: .......

 Breaking her brainwashing would be like a complete waste of all Alicia's efforts. And I'm an accomplice. There is no way to escape.

 It's not only Albert, but Alan too. No, but it's too late now.

 I can hear Alan's voice trembling.

"No matter how much I avoided her, I knew she was making a constant effort every day, even if I didn't like it when she was home. ....... I'd been in the cabin for two years and I'd seen the maids taking the books away. I also felt a tremendous magic from the hut from time to time. I didn't want to ...... admit it. I didn't want to admit that Alicia, who is at odds with Liz, is a hard worker."

 Henri listens to Alan in silence. Alan continued to talk as if to let it all out.

"I didn't want to believe the way he got up before everyone else every morning to practice his sword, or the way he stayed up late studying in the library. I know he's a lousy brother. I know I'm a lousy brother ......, but maybe seeing her like that made me more and more ashamed of myself and made me more and more dependent on Liz."

 I can understand that. When I am with Alicia, I feel how small I am.

"I happened to pass Ari in the hallway at home, and he asked me about it.

"There was a day when all the crops in Laval were wiped out by a sudden cold snap, and I asked him what happened that day. I thought it was bullshit and didn't take it seriously. I didn't think Alicia would be researching the Laval country, and since it was Liz's birthday, I thought she was being sarcastic, but ......"

 Why did Alicia, of all people, ask Alan?

 No, but it's normal to ask your brother if you don't understand something. It's a bit of a puzzle, but extreme weather events are not that rare.

 Alicia probably did not pay that much attention to the issue.

 But from what she just said, it sounds like there is a lot of interesting stuff in there.
