Once you're dressed and marching toward Castle Ferdaux, you find your clothing feels a little tighter. On top of that, you can still smell Ragnar's musk on you, despite bathing in the river. That smell may not be unpleasant to you, however.
As you camped within sight of the castle and the surrounding town, you arrive at the gates within the hour. This time, you're let through right away and brought to the court of Lady Adrienne. Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to wakeup this early and it's roughly thirty minutes until she comes out to greet you, wearing only a thin purple bikini barely covering her nipples.
She says, "Oh, thank you so much! My son returned last night. A little battered, but alive, and that's the important thing."
As if on cue, Alphonse enters the court and approaches the both of you.
"Well met, Juliana. The woman is safe and returned to her betrothed. They were both very happy."
It strikes you as a little surprising that, despite Alphonse's willingness to execute Ragnar, he risked life and limb to save someone who was neither in love with him nor he in love with her, but purely out a desire to see them re-united and fulfill his oath to protect his friend.
"Needless to say, the army will march at noon and honor its friendship with House Rafont."
Lady Adrienne waves dismissively, "Yes, yes, if they must."
Alphonse says, "I would be happy to fight beside you again, Juliana, if you should ever need it. Here's a supplementary reward as well... for saving my life, mostly."
The Prince hands you a large pouch of gold.
(5 Fame, 200 gold pieces gained)
(Alphonse is a frontline fighter who excels at defensive combat and winning by outlasting the enemy. However, Alphonse and Ragnar cannot tolerate one another; you may only take Alphonse if you ask Ragnar to stay behind. If you wish to keep Ragnar for now, then that's fine too.)
