Alessandra and Edgar parted the moment they entered the palace as a maid came out to take her to where the other women had gathered. Edgar and Refael walked around in search of Tobias.
"So, you are married now. Is this some sort of miracle or love at first sight which would also be a miracle for you," said Rafael. He had not believed the news of Edgar's marriage until Tobias wrote a letter confirming it. "Congratulations by the way. I would apologize for not attending but I was not sent an invitation."
"No one was. It does not matter how I came to be married. All that matters is that I am married. Should we ever care to do a proper wedding you will receive an invitation or you should finally grow some balls and marry the maid you have been having trouble with we can all attend a wedding," said Edgar.
"It is complicated. More complicated than going out on a battlefield."
