Identity

Alexa scraped the bottom of the bowl, not really feeling her hunger sated but thanking her hosts for sharing with her the little food they had. 

Any of them would be killed for hunting in the Baron's lands, according to feudal law, and they didn't even have land to produce their food. But what little they got was being divided.

Her account of what she had seen and heard, and how Lady Gwen's children hid her in a sewing room, appalled her listeners.

Before giving the word that they would help Lady Alexa, Giles decided that they would listen to Cymric. 

The leader of the group was concerned, and the princess understood him. 

Giles appeared to have some military training, but most of the men in the group were ex-peasants.

Even so, Alexa was determined that, whatever they decided, she had to go back and get Klaus out of there.
