(Alaric experiences the woes of being a brother.)
Alaric was happy to be traveling to the East for a number of reasons.
First, their cousins and friends wouldn't be able to visit easily.
Second, he could spend time with his sister alone.
Third, he could spend time with his sister alone.
Even though a few of the Pure noble families also had Fiefs in the East, he wasn't too worried because Ian Winston was away at the Academy and even if he wasn't they weren't close enough to visit.
If Duchess Winston visited, that wouldn't concern him or his sister since Duchess Winston had no business with them.
None of the other nobles from minor nobility were important enough to worry about.
The other person that could visit was Wade.
Thinking of him made Alaric grit his little teeth.
That boy that always wanted to involve his sister in everything that he did.
Thinking of Wade reminded him of the person that had tried to hurt his sister.
