The harsh truth (3)

Alessandra felt like she was in between a rock and a hard place. She wanted to calm Edgar down a bit before he left the estate. Taking all of the men under his command meant there was going to be a big fight and Alessandra didn't want him to get hurt.

When Edgar took his army to the palace, the palace guards would point their weapons at him. There would be a war today. 

Along with that, Alessandra worried about Hazel. Hazel's breathing sounded off and she looked unable to stand alone. It was a lot to find out that someone had been stopping you from having a child. Especially when you spent a long time blaming yourself.

Alessandra was concerned about what the tea she drank would have done to her as well. She had been intimate with her husband and didn't want to lose a baby. Still, instead of thinking of herself or Edgar any longer, Alessandra went to Hazel's side. Hazel needed to be comforted. 

"Hazel," Alessandra said, trying to get her attention.
