"Thank you for inviting us, duchess," Thea said, hugging Alessandra goodbye. "Next time we should meet for all the children to play."
"We must plan a day before I leave Lockwood," Alessandra answered. It was nearing time for her, Edgar and the children to pack up and leave Lockwood. She waved goodbye to Thea and Wren as they walked to their carriage.
Penelope held Alessandra's hand causing Alessandra to look down at her. "When are we going to play with the princes?" She asked.
"The princes are not always free to play. I will send a message to the queen to tell her you want to play with the princes. I thought you said the princes only like to play with Eli and you don't like it," Alessandra said since Penelope didn't seem too happy to be in the palace the last time they visited.
Penelope wished the princes would turn princesses. Alessandra had to explain that the kingdom would be left with no heir.
