Chương 57: Temperate Penumbras - Part 10

{A/N: Hello my dear readers. Please be aware that there may be some grammatical errors in this chapter. Upon rereading what I had already written for this section, I decided I needed to add an additional Alfred scene, and thus, I haven't had the time to fully edit the piece. Please point out any that you see - it would be extremely helpful! I will let you know in future chapters when I have it edited if you were interested in reading its final form ^__^ }

If anyone had happened upon Alfie staring so adamantly at the map upon the table before him, they would've thought he had a personal rivalry with it. When at rest, his expression was always in a scowl, and he had been sitting in the back corner of the library since dawn, doing nothing but appraising it. Luckily, though, no one happened upon him. He kindly asked Master Herleva to assure his privacy, and with Ingo still away at Dolfo, no one dared to interrupt.
