In order to avoid a pointless argument with Alice, Alex changed the topic and asked if she needed something from her to which Alice replied that there seems to be something big happening in the Main city and a lot of soldiers from the Central Empire have arrived including the 'Red Devil'.
"I've heard that there is gonna be a ball and later they'll announce the date of coronation of the third prince. Andddddd there is also going to be a fair in the evening!! Gosh, I'm so excited" Alice exclaimed. You could hear the excitement in her voice and expectations in her eyes unlike Alex who just helplessly looked at her.
As far as she could remember, she had always seen Alice with a big smile and a really positive attitude towards everything...way too positive that when they first met, Alex wondered how she survived for so long without a brain but as time went on she understood that it's just how she is, gradually getting used to Alice and her carefree nature.
"I hate to break it to you but we won't be going to the Main city. I'm heading for the forests today" Alex said in a careful tone. "WHAT?! But I've already decided our outfits and booked a store closest to the lotus pavilion where the Princes would be resting at... we could get to see the 'Red Devil' in person and also the Coronation, aren't you friends with the third prince? He would be sad if you don't show up" cried Alice.
"Exactly because we're close, I can't trouble him too much. Besides we don't have any more flowers in stock to display at the fair" said Alex in a just tone. Hearing this Alice used her ultimate weapon, making a pitiful expression which looked like she would cry any minute. Many would fall for her act but Alex had naturally grown immune to it.
