It was a man's voice!
Cordelia frowned, finding the voice familiar.
Meanwhile, Allegra shouted at the door like she had found her savior, "Cousin! Alexander! Is it you!?
"Help! Save me, Alexander!"
Cordelia paused. Could it be Alexander at the door?
The doorknob was twisted even faster, accompanied by hastier knocks.
"What's going on inside? I'll get the guards to open the door if you don't come out!"
Cordelia snorted and let go of Allegra abruptly. 'No fun!'
Allegra fled frantically and staggered to open the door. As expected, Alexander stood outside, looking confused.
"Alexander!" Allegra wailed and threw herself into his arms.
However, she was the least of Alexander's concerns as he only saw Cordelia, who stood there nonchalantly with crossed arms, as well as the red wine stain on her.
He froze and pushed Allegra off him to run to Cordelia.
"Are you okay!?"
Cordelia was surprised. The man's concern and nervous expression did not look feigned.
Alexander could care less as he grabbed Cordelia's shoulders and spun her around to check her, heaving a long sigh of relief upon confirming that she was unscathed.
"No superficial wounds, it seems… Any internal injuries?"
Cordelia giggled.
