[ Alice's POV ]

❝ Hoping you find strength with each new day ❞

Aku tertanya-tanya tentang apa yang bakal Livio sampaikan. Lagaknya mengalahkan Detective Conan yang sedang memecahkan temberang penjenayah.

"Don't you think it's weird that no one's gonna back him up when he was attacked?"

Aku blur. Satu kerana aku tak faham. Dua kerana Livio bercakap terlalu cepat yang menjadi penyumbang kepada sebab pertama.

"Livio, that is a question. Not what we called as theory."

Livio membuat wajah menyampah dengan tangan di bahu.

"Ugh, fine."

"About your question.."

Edward mengusap dagu, tekun berfikir. Nampaknya Ed faham. Aku sorang je ke yang tak faham-faham?

"Alice, I know you don't understand what I'm saying. Anyways, I praise you for your amazing abilities at showing emotions through expressions."

Aku tak tahulah itu satu pujian ke ejekan. Tetapi memandangkan kata-kata itu datang daripada Livio, aku tidak peduli.

"I mean his bodyguards, they should be watching him all the time. How can they didn't realize what happened to the prince?"

"Logik siak."

Sekarang baru aku faham apa yang Livio maksudkan.

"He was in the nightclub afterall. Maybe the bodyguards weren't there. Samuel also needs privacy, especially when he dances."

Pendapat Ed kemukakan.

"Impossible. Don't you learn it during the Royal Duties' class?"

Kelas mana satu pula ni? Aku ni nama subjek pun masih tak ingat walaupun sudah beberapa bulan belajar di sini.

"Aha?"

Livio menggulingkan mata ke atas melihat ke-blur-an aku.

"Madam.. what was her name again?"

Kami semua saling berpandangan untuk beberapa saat. Angin bersiul. Samuel berdengkur. Perutku berbunyi.

Kesian betul Madam-What-Was-Her-Name. Tiada sesiapa yang ingat namanya. Sejujurnya, muka dia pun aku tak ingat.

"-she said that our bodyguards would never had their eyes off their masters."

"Maybe they were careless. They weren't paying attention to Samuel during the incident."

"Yea, my bodyguards were not around when we were chased by the stray. Ah I think I should dismiss him, he is not doing his job properly."

Buat pertama kalinya, Ed bercakap melebihi 20 patah perkataan.

"Or maybe they were drunk too?"

Aku melepaskan tawa kecil mendengar idea mabuk Ed. Like, seriously Ed you are thinking 'bout that?

"Funny Ed."

Livio memalingkan wajahnya ke arah lain. Aku tahu dia tengah menahan diri daripada ketawakan kebodohan idea bijak Ed. Ed pula kekal dengan wajah selambanya.

"Okay, you're right Livio. There's only 1% chance that the bodyguards were drunk. And it was a joke. Thanks for laughing, Alice. I tried hard you know."
