"Get some rest, Alfred. From the moment I came home, you were up and down trying to put together ideas for Alessandra's party. I aspire to be as energetic as you are at that age," said Edgar.

"I am not that old and once you take care of your body in your youth, you should be fine in the future. You and the Duchess seem awfully quiet since you've returned. I hope it is nothing serious. I left the cream from the palace in your bedroom for the Duchess to use.  It is to be used twice a day for wounds to heal quickly. You should give it to her and make amends tonight. Goodnight," Alfred excused himself.

The day came to an end for Alessandra and Edgar but Alfred still needed to keep an eye on the servants washing up and then inspect the house as usual before going to his room.
