On the long-awaited day, Alice prepares herself for the journey to Navarre as Albert's Escort.
In front of the estate, Cateline holds Isabel while a wet nurse stands nearby. Alice leans down to kiss Isabel's forehead before turning to Cateline.
Alice: "I leave her to you, Cateline."
Cateline nods solemnly, cradling Isabel gently in her arms. Cateline: "Don't worry, I'll watch over her like my own."
Alice offers a small smile of gratitude before she steps down the stairs, ready for her journey ahead.
As Alice gracefully treads the estate's path, she's halted by the unexpected touch of Madam Mohn. Startled, she turns to face the matronly figure, her demeanor a blend of surprise and deference. Madam Mohn's urgent whisper reaches her ears like a gentle breeze carrying a weighty secret.
Madam Mohn: "Alice, you must present yourself as a servant of the esteemed Mohn clan. Pray, keep our household matters shrouded in secrecy, will you?"
Alice, with a solemn nod, acknowledges the charge, her mind already weaving plans to navigate the forthcoming journey with the utmost discretion. Alice: "As you wish, Madame." She curtsied, her movements a blend of obedience and resolve.
Madam Mohn: "Good. Please, take care of my son. Lead him away from the fountain of anger should his emotions flare, particularly in the vicinity of Navarre."
Alice: "Yes, madame." She pressed her lips gently to Madam Mohn's hand, a gesture of farewell tinged with a sense of duty.
Madam Mohn stepped into the awaiting carriage, bound for Castile. Sir Richaud and Edward stood by their horses, flanked by a retinue of Mohn's knights and servants. Sir Richaud mounted his steed, his gaze fixed forward, paying no heed to Alice. Meanwhile, Edward cast a fleeting glance in Alice's direction, offering a subtle nod of acknowledgment before they departed, leaving Alice standing alone in their wake.

Alice settles into the modest wagon, its simplicity contrasting with the opulence of Madam Mohn's carriage. Despite its humble appearance, the wagon provides comfort and functionality for the journey ahead. Meanwhile, Albert, towering on his horse, assumes his role as leader, orchestrating the departure of the smaller group destined for Navarre. The assembly of servants and knights, though fewer in number compared to those bound for Castile, exudes a sense of purpose and readiness for the long journey ahead. With Albert at the helm, they set off on their path, anticipating the challenges and adventures that await them on their voyage to Navarre.
