246 Not ready (1)

Hazel thoroughly enjoyed her time with Alessandra and Linda. She was right that the two would get along well. They had more in common than just liking Edgar. She was saddened by the arrival of a maid who pointed out that it was time for dinner so Alessandra and Linda would now have to leave her.

If only they could spend the night here but she didn't want to subject either one to see the true face of the palace.

Linda left the group first to return home in time to not worry Kenneth. She had stayed in the palace longer than she told her father so before he could have men out searching for her, she had to leave quickly. 

Alessandra and Hazel stood to leave a little after Linda. Before they could make it out of the room there was a knock on and after being opened by a maid, it was revealed that Tobias and Edgar had come to see them.
