Herald of Steel

In this day and age, a widow living alone in a city with her daughter was a very dangerous prospect.

Especially if it was someone as beautiful as Lady Felicia.

If she was left all alone in the city without any protection, Alexander was sure that thugs and gangs come knocking at her door within days of her moving in, allured by her beauty, as they would visit at various times of the day, wanting to 'chat' and 'check up' on how she was doing and if they could do anything to 'help'.

And they would not even bother to hide the innuendo behind those words.

Facing them, without a strong man, Lady Felicia would find it very hard to get rid of these pests.

As for asking for help, well the most obvious one- calling the guards, would almost never be of any help.

They cared little for these minor inconveniences, and would mostly only act when a crime has actually been committed.
