One week had gone by since Alaric went on a journey to meet Crown Prince Cassian and his guards at the kingdom's border.
Princess Thalia tried all means to interact and spend time with him, however, Alaric seemed to be avoiding her.
He didn't join her in her carriage. Instead, he rode his own horse during the entire journey.
"What should I do to make him stay by my side? Alaric is keeping his distance from me!" Thalia lamented to her personal servant.
"He acts differently as compared to before," she added, pouting her lips.
"Your Highness, maybe General Stormholt is just trying to avoid any scandal. He respects you as the princess of Kingdom Eldara. He might be thinking that he must behave properly in front of you." The servant tried to console her.
