The king and Henry were both silent hearing Vance answer truthfully they could tell he also thought the same. Only after a while did the king speak up: "Alice can you stay here tonight and keep me company one last time?"
"Mmm.. I am sure Sally wishes to spend some time with Uncle, and Vance probably wants to see his parents as well." Alice replied with a smile. To spend one more night having dinner and talking with her father before she left was not a bad thing.
Vance said goodbye to Alice while he went back to Henry's estate. He did not go to the main house so after saying goodbye to Sally he headed to the small cottage his parents were given on Henry's land. It even had a small backfield that his father could use to grow crops if he so wished.
