Chapter 789 - 789 786 Another Alices Mansion

?Chapter 789: Chapter 786 Another Alice’s Mansion? Chapter 789: Chapter 786 Another Alice’s Mansion? Having coordinated multiple times before, Alice revealed the keyhole on her back with practiced ease and sat obediently on the bed, waiting for the captain to wind the spring key.

Duncan held the brass key with the loop handle and slowly approached it towards Alice’s keyhole, but just then, he suddenly heard the automaton speak up, “Captain, I have a question.”

“Can automatons also grow?” Alice asked, curious.
