The Knock

After discussing things up until now with Lady Miranda, the best plan that Alexander could come up with to try and turn the situation was this- snitching to the Kaiser family and waiting for them to get involved.

In this way, hopefully, while the two lions fought, Alexander would be able to steal their catch like an opportunistic hyena.

Or at the very least eke out an advantageous position for his 'down in the muck' ally.

And while Lady Miranda was not the biggest fan of going to beg to her biggest dislike for help, as Alexander pointed out, she was not really spoilt for choice here.

The lady of the house knew she had to face reality.

Thus at Alexander's instance of getting the Kaiser family involved, she lightly nodded.
