Alaric's Plan

Alaric was very happy during his stay at the Lewis-Baden castle, because the host, his aunt Portia, was very kind to him. For the first time in his life, Alaric felt like he really had a family, even a mother who cared about him. He was given his own place at the right wing of the castle, facing the lake. He was also welcome to do whatever he pleased while staying there.

 Sophia also stayed at Ned and Portia's castle for several days. Her reason was because she wanted to help Alaric in researching various historical sources and records of their ancestral heritage. History stored in the castle was abundant as it went all the way until the first century AD.

Alaric was very pleased and proud to know that since hundreds of years ago, his mother's family line was highly respected and influential. The only problem was that their lineage stopped when the last two children born in the Linden Family were women and both had died. The only son they had didn't live for long.
