The three were just about to pass by the alley, but heard.
"I will help you all. I promise."
Aristia couldn't help but feel that the voice was familiar.
She signalled to the two with her to follow her.
Quietly, they walked into the alley.
"And how exactly will you help us?" Someone asked with a snort. From the voice, Aristia and the others could tell that it belonged to a boy.
As they walked closer, they saw the people there.
There were a group of boys, about five or six in number, all older than them, looking like they were eleven or twelve, a bit thin.
But Aristia and the others couldn't see the girl they were speaking to from where they hid behind a stack of useless objects.
"I am a part of nobility. I will do something to help you."
Someone sneered. "We know you're from nobility. You're all a bunch of liars. You'll help us? No one here has been helped for years!"
The voice that had first spoken earlier was female. The female voice said again.
