An uncomfortable silence permeated our room after I told them the whole plan. The idea was to use our fastest allies, Diane and Sarah, as bait, escaping town in one direction while I would escort Alicia in the other direction.
Diane's expression was serious after listening to the fact that she would have to keep the Knights busy while dodging someone shooting at her from afar.
Alicia was clearly sad, with her hand on her chest, as if her heart was being pressed hard.
I couldn't tell Sarah's expression. She was looking carefully by the window. Two floors below were the two Knights from the Silver Fang. They seemed to be distracting themselves, talking carelessly.
I also didn't like the idea of putting them at risk like that, but I couldn't think of another way to solve our problem.
I felt like trash for letting the worst part of the job fall on Sarah and Diane, but they were our best bet.
