"Thank you for coming along with me, Alfred. I doubt Edgar would have let me out of his sight if you didn't offer to travel with me," said Alessandra.
One day had passed since she last saw her mother and sisters. A letter was sent for them to meet again in town. Edgar was against it as he had matters to take care of in the palace but Alfred offered to come along with her. Edgar was to come later on once he was finished with his work.
"I feel like I am moving with an army," Alessandra said, looking at the others who were squashed in the carriage.
Aside from Alfred, Sally, Caleb, Reed, Andre, Clyde, and Alessandra's new female guard Ivy were present. Reed rode with Andre out front with the coachman while everyone else squeezed together on one side.
Alessandra looked at the space between her and Alfred. "I told you someone should sit here with me and Alfred. The four of you look squashed together over there. I'm surprised that the seat has not broken."
