"Dead or alive"
The words shook Alice's heart but there was little she could do at that moment. She knew better than to challenge the king of Springton in the presence of his royal armies. At that moment, Albert was no father, only a king his people needed and she, a princess who follows.

Theodore had known from the start that she was Alice in disguise so why didn't he do anything? It was as though he knew her before but that couldn't be, the royalties of both kingdoms never had meetings involving the offsprings, so she believed they'd ever met, though he eyes told another story all together.
