Josephine glanced back and returned to Raoul's side, worried sick over this. "I thought that it may make him think a little." She murmured, trying hard to help him stay up. "He is being stubborn though. Alyxander didn't try to move forward at all, but kept his eyes on the two. He still didn't refused to believe that the son of the tyrant king could be like this unless it was an act. 'He has Josephine fooled, but not me.' A small smirk appeared at the last thing that was said. "Why leave you alive? Like father, like son. You will never be any good for-" A slap rang in the air. Josephine had gotten to her feet, finally snapping from all of this, and hit Alyx across the face; not really hard enough to hurt him too badly, but enough to perhaps knock some sense into him. The male stumbled a bit, somewhat from the force of the blow, but mostly from shock. "If you are so set of justice, then why don't you do this on your own? I am merely a pawn in your game, it's obvious. I do not intend to slaughter the royal family as they had done to mine, because that would bring me down to their level and I would be no better. But if you want to follow their path, then be my guest. But Raoul and I are staying out of it. We have our own way to peace and justice that doesn't include violence." This shocked Alyxander even more, and he just stared at her with wide eyes for a few moments. Josephine turned back to Raoul and knelt beside him, her arms wrapped around his waist to support him.
