Chapter Six(11)
Master...... The voice she had heard in the alley had called the other master——and judging from what she had said. Then this must be:
‘Alice.’ She didn’t realize she had spoken out loud until the girl inclined her head a bit.
‘At your service.’
Her voice was ordinary, graceful with a little lowering of tone at the end of every sentence. It definitely didn’t sound like .the rough voice in her memory.
She was definitely not, at her service. The thought popped out of Cecy’s mind, as her gaze slid over she and Will like we weren’t important at all. Then, she must want something.
‘Why——hi.’ Cecy stopped myself before she could blurt out Why are you here. Cecy didn’t even know who she is, except for her name, Alice. It would be rude to begin conversation like this.
Ignoring, blissfully, her embarrassing attempt for a friendly introduction, Alice said, her eyes having surveyed the entire area and finally came back to rest on Will. ‘Let’s get on the point. What happened to him, and why.’ The sentence ended with no lifting of tone, just as before.
