Douglet was the only personal guard who had the capability to stay behind and protect Princess Alice.
William followed him all the way.
In the capital city, William saw a small treehouse that was not very tall.
Many rare flowers and plants having distinctly beautiful and unusual shapes, were planted near the treehouse. There were no traces of artificial construction.
Douglet stopped. He beckoned William to enter, while he and Lautner waited outside.
William nodded and walked on the creaking wooden steps. He reached for the wooden door of the treehouse.
The door creaked open.
"You are?"
A slightly tired voice was heard.
William looked at the figure in the bedroom and quickly replied, "Mother, it's me, William."
Quietness ensued in the house for some time.
Before long, an elegant and noble Elven lady walked out, a longing look on her face.
