 At the same time, I heard the door to the student council room click shut.

 Did she really not assume that Alicia might die?

 I stare at her skeptically.

 Mel really can't hide her emotions. Is that good or bad?

 Henri's scripted line. If I say this publicly, people will say that I should have stopped Alicia if I really felt that way.

 Besides, everyone here is convinced that Alicia is not going to die in Laval. If anything, she will accomplish something.

 I can't wait to see what Alicia accomplishes.

 Of course the Laval don't want an exiled daughter. What country would willingly accept a sinner from Durkis?

 Such a nation of goodness will soon be destroyed. Sinners will either be made a spectacle or slaves. ....... Or something like that.

 If she really grew up as a daughter, she might not be able to bear the hard and painful circumstances and might take her own life. Or she might be killed for no good reason.

 Well, Alicia, though she was really brought up as a daughter, is a very useful and capable person, so she will be fine.

 Duke's words were followed by Cather Liz's, "The arena?" A small tilt of the head.

 Where in the world does Duke get such information? He's not one step ahead of us, he's several steps ahead of us.

 You're protecting the wrong person. Don't you think the person you really need to protect is Alicia when you hear this story?

 I could tell that she was not trying to make Duke look good, but was saying this from the bottom of her heart.

 I think I understand why in this world she is praised like a hero in a novel. As Alicia said, she is the axis.
