Chapter Nine
The Prince led Alice through the hallways. Its walls were embedded with unknown gems and gold and its ceiling was painted with beautiful paintings.
Until he led her to a room full of bookshelves reaching up to the ceiling.
And then, he sat on an armchair and made himself comfortable.
Suddenly, the door flew open.
"Glad you came back, mate!"
A tall and white-haired boy stood in front of them.
Until he saw Alice, he went over to her slowly.
"Is this your new doll, Jack? She's a jewel. But she looks like a human though." He said.
The boy slowly lifted her dress and looked under. Just like what that other boy did.
That was until, she lifted her leg to kick him in the face.
He fell back as he held his bleeding nose.
"Bloody hell, I thought I was kicked by a horse!"
Alice frowned then crossed her legs, "Is that how you treat a lady like me?"
He snorted, "You a lady? I doubt that." But then when he saw Alice glaring at him he said,
"Yes. But usually they let me do it."
