Alyxander was surprised by this, wondering why this guard was trying to help him and Raoul... and the others. 'Could it be that there are still supporters of the previous rulers that remain in the guard?' The idea gave him a tiny bit of comfort, knowing that there were still some people who may be loyal and stand up for Josephine. It was comforting to know that at least the princess was in better condition than he was worried she would be, though the guards words may be a bit biased if Josephine had been the one to send the message along that she was fine; she had a habit of acting strong when she was weak, just like anyone else. He gave an understanding look to the guard as he left, then returned to his struggling, though the chains still did not budge. His food remained untouched still as another guard approached him and Raoul. "You ungrateful little rats, offered food yet not eating. I only wonder why you two are being kept alive; you two and the little bitch of a princess would be the first to hang if I had a say in this." "And you never will. Besides, How can we eat without our hands being unlocked? It is not a simple task." The guard smirked. "Well then, either figure it out or starve. Your choice."
