Rafael knew there was a possibility Annalise wouldn't be welcomed to the palace right away which was why he was planning on staying in Edgar's home where his mother was now to work on easing Annalise into the palace. He didn't think they would want to stop her from entering the town,
The court pushing for her to not step foot in Lockwood now called for a change of plans. They could only go back to the manor and speak to Tobias through letters.
Rafael understood the fear of these men who rarely picked up a sword and felt like their life was in danger because they couldn't protect themselves. It was a little frustrating because he was only travelling with Annalise and three of her guards. It wasn't like he was travelling with Phillip and his army for the palace to need to worry about a big attack.
In his opinion, they were overreacting. It wouldn't be the first time they had welcomed one of their enemies to the palace to talk about peace or meet elsewhere.
