'Ug, I didn't think that would be so tiring!' Alexa complained mentally while looking for a recess where to set her foot while climbing the lighthouse.
Following Prince Gutard and his men unseen, and without losing sight of them, had been an almost impossible task.
Luckily, she soon guessed where they were going and so managed to move to the other side, reducing the chances of being noticed and captured. The maiden was very proud of her achievement and her cleverness; unfortunately, the Greek girl had no one else to brag about, now that all her brothers were dead.
Alexa followed the small group of knights, with Prince Gutard in the center, to the outskirts of Prince Klaus's manor, Schwarzenhofhausen. Then she remembered seeing them coming from the direction of the lighthouse, the other night, and decided to cut her way there across the field. It was riskier, but it would be faster and harder to figure out.
