Alaric and The Boy Who Sees Sounds

Alaric decided in the last moment to head to Grosetto a day early. He didn't have the chance to tell Portia and Ned about his plans. He didn't even know whether he would actually meet his father when he arrived at Medici Castle.

Lauriel didn't know how Alaric looked like, so there was no way he would be able to recognize him if Alaric didn't deliberately introduce himself. He could still come as Elios Linden or anyone else he wanted, as the people in Grosseto didn't know him.

He arrived in Grosseto when it was still noon, while the family event was going to start in the late afternoon. He had come too early.

Was he too excited to come here that he arrived so quickly?

Alaric shook his head. It was true. All his life, he had never known his parents, and now, for the very first time, he was going to meet his father.
