Alicia didn't cause any more trouble for the rest of the day. Since the King had permitted her to leave the palace walls, she tried to be on her best behavior for the rest of the day. Harold had insisted they leave the next day, and when she decided against it, he told her that it was for her own good and that she would love to see the kingdom on the 7th day of the week since that was when the markets fully opened and the town would be bubbly.
