Meanwhile in the castle of Streia...
"Princess Alice, I've got a letter addressed to you." Derek knocked on Alice's room door.
She granted him permission to enter, and Derek bowed slightly as he entered the gigantic elegantly furnished bed room. Alice laid on her bed, waving her legs in the air as she flipped through the pages of the romance novel she was reading.
She was not her father's favourite child even if she was his first child, so she barely did anything.
Rea was the commander of the king's army so she was barely around, but that didn't make Mordrid to call Alice for any counsel meeting.
He would normally wait till Rea was back from whatsoever quest she had embarked on. He seeked her advice on almost everything he was doing, and never for once inquired anything from Alice.
Alice was glad she was at least their mother's favourite, otherwise she would have been treated like a maid in the palace.
