After a well served lunch between Lily Petrov and Alina, who has tried convincing her mother to help change Vladmir's mind about marrying her off to a total stranger she knows nothing about, aside from his name.
Alina has done nothing, but has gotten used to the idea that her mother's marriage with her father went the same way, the only thing she got back from the woman was for her to believe that she would learn to fall in love with Bianchi.
So, here she was standing outside the garden, with the usual guards keeping her safe as if anyone was going to break into the family house and do something to her, but no, this wasn't about kidnapping her, it was about Vladmir fulfilling promise to make her life a living hell, by locking her away like Rapunzel in her father's house.
