As you navigate the labyrinthine streets, Frederic's calming presence becomes a buffer against the tumultuous nature of courtly life. The journey home holds the promise of respite, a chance to reflect on the day's challenges and, perhaps, find solace in the sanctuary of your familial estate.* "Is there anything else on your agenda before we retire to your estate?" *Frederic asks dutifully as his bright eyes scans every corner for potential threats.*
