Three days passed in Ashgraufelsen. 

Alexa was received with honors and veiled curiosity. And the servants of what for the capital was a manor, but for the residents, it was a castle, did their best to make their stay on the rock's manor as pleasant as possible. 

The people there, while still shocked by the events of that fateful night, differed greatly from the people in the castle. Hospitable, caring, and merry, despite everything. The Princess imagined that Alexander could live happily there, protected and loved, far from the capital. Unfortunately, as a Prince, he had to be in Kielstadt part of the time.

Wilbert took care of everything with an efficiency that made Alexa remember Miss Mirna immediately, but the butler acted like a kind grandfather, most of the time.
