IN THE END, Alice decided to take up Spade's offer on the condition that he could manage to convince her overall guardian, Wyatt Ragan. She understood that it would be dangerous for her to live in the Ragan's Estate. If the assassins had managed to break through their security once, it wouldn't be too difficult for them to do it again.
However, she was also still wary of the dangers of living in the palace. Even though Spade had promised to protect her, it didn't mean that he could protect her from everyone.
Nonetheless, Alice still needed someplace she could hide out in. She had to wait until this breeze blew past and when it was safe again, she had to visit Doctor Lavender at the earliest possible time.
She needed a way home as soon as possible. There was no time left to wait for the adventure to end.
