Alicia followed Ro throughout the camp, taking in everything he pointed out. The main points of interest were all close to Alicia"s tent. Alicia was slightly happy about this because the prisoners" camp was also quite close. She knew for now that Edith would be somewhat safe for the night. She had to make sure she took care of everything and escape with Edith and the other girls before the first bugle call. But to be absolutely sure about this she would have to visit the prison camp first.

 A few hours later Alicia sat at the entrance to her tent. The sounds of people sleeping could be heard all around. Alicia silently opened her tent and looked around to make sure none of the night patrols were around. Once she was certain the coast was clear, she crept out of her tent and slowly made her way over to where the prison was for the girls. She wanted to stake out how many guards were actually present at night time. But when she got there, there was no guard in sight. This alone caused Alicia to feel unease. She quickly made her way towards the door to the small building where the prisoners were held. 

"Get off me! What do you think you are doing!" A m.u.f.fled voice yelled out. It was not loud enough to alert those sleeping in their tents but if you stood outside the building it could be heard as clear as day. 

"Hehe… you will be sold off to be a s.e.x slave anyway why not get a little practice in beforehand. Come play with this brother here. I have not had a woman in a few years but I am sure I can still make you scream!" A low rough voice said as the sounds of clothes started to shuffle.

Alicia was really getting sick of these types of men. Alicia drew her sword and slowly opened the door. When she looked inside with the dim light she could see a bunch of females stripped of their clothes all lined up against the wall with their arms and legs chained up. Alicia saw one of the females was pinned against the floor with a gag in her mouth doing her best to struggle against the man who was on top of her. Seeing who the girl on the floor was caused Alicia"s eyes to turn red. With no hesitation, she charged forward with her sword while the man was trying to undo his pants. 

"Who..." The man only got to utter one word before his head flew through the air. 

Alicia quickly kicked the headless body off the girl on the floor and looked at the tear ridden face of her sister. Tears welled up into Alicia"s eyes as she sobbingly spoke. "It will be okay… I will get you out of here."

Alicia"s voice floated into Edith"s ears which caused more tears to flow from Edith"s eyes. She had really thought she was done for. Her, a princess of the Dorian Kingdom was to be used as a toy to some n.o.ble of the Empire. She had all but resigned herself to this fate when she heard she would be auctioned off. She had planned to kill herself the first chance she got. But she was bound and gagged so she couldn"t even bite off her own tongue. But now with the image of the person in front of her with a voice, she knew all too well. A hope for survival was ignited within her. She might have a chance to actually escape this fate! 


*Clang!* *Clang!*

Alicia quickly cut through the chains allowing Edith free use of her arms and legs. She did not have time for a family reunion so she could only toss out a quick order to Edith.

"Edith, strip the guard of his clothes and put them on." Alicia then turned to the other girls who all had a look of hope in their eyes. "I will be back as soon as I can. We need to stop this war now because even if we do escape here and now. We will all be sent back to the battlefield. There will be a chance that you will be caught once again and end up in the same situation. Only next time I will not be here… I need you all to stay strong. Once I create a big enough distraction I will send you all on your way. "

After finis.h.i.+ng her words, Alicia hid the guard"s body and quietly exited the prisoner camp with Edith. They did not go too far when Alicia pulled Edith into a bunch of thick brush. "Hide here, do not move from this place until you hear a commotion. Only then do you run as far away from this camp as you can." 

"What about you?" Edith"s eyes were wide. She did not want to leave her little sister here. What if she was caught!? Would she not end up in the prisoner camp just to be auctioned off like she was?

"Do not worry I will be fine… I can not talk anymore. Just listen to my words when there is a loud enough commotion going on, escape with everything you have! I will see you at the base camp on the Dorian side." Alicia gave the tear ridden Edith a quick hug before leaving the thick brush and heading towards the supply area. She took one last look at the brush to check if her sister was hidden well. Once she saw that everything was okay. She disappeared into the darkness.

After she left another figure stepped out of the darkness. They looked at the thick brush where Edith was hiding then at the darkness that Alicia disappeared. A smile appeared on their face as they turned to walk towards the command tents. "Seems Brother Kell and I are one and the same. We both want to stop the Empire from achieving their goals. It"s a little early but in order to help Brother Kell out, I will bring forward my plans a little bit and teach these Empire b.a.s.t.a.r.ds what it means to mess with other nations!"
