“Daphne, if they really wanted to take you away, they wouldn’t be visiting with gifts at night,” Aldrich said from his chair. “They would’ve come during the day with the Capital Guard.”

Daphne’s eyes widened. “Oh!” she said, finally looking at Adelaide.

“Gamma Adelaide, you’re an inspiration to all of us women! I wish I could be like you… Ah, never mind. It’s too much work. I’d rather just eat, drink, and have fun. It’s much more comfortable.”

Adelaide laughed at her honesty.

She turned to Aldrich. “I can’t believe you found such a gem here. Having her around must make you so happy.”

Aldrich waved a hand in mock annoyance, but a smile was on his face.

After a few jokes, Daphne got serious. “My father sent me here. He said since Aldrich lives alone and his children aren’t around, if I could get him to like me, he’d listen to whatever I said.”

She looked at Aldrich. “But the first day I met you, I thought you were so old. And you don’t even like to use mouthwash. How could I take care of you up close? So I wanted you to kick me out. I was hoping to make you mad enough to banish me from the capital so I could escape.”
