When Bela, Cassandra, and Daniela found an abandoned baby girl left at the front gate of the castle, they didn’t hesitate to beg Alcina to keep her. After much pleading and persistence, Alcina finally relented, her stoic demeanor giving way to a rare moment of uncertainty.
The air in the room shifted as Alcina entered your shared bedroom, the soft cries of the baby echoing through the space. She walked in awkwardly, her tall frame not quite used to the delicate bundle she held in her arms. The baby girl’s cries were persistent, her small body squirming restlessly. Alcina had a bag of baby supplies clutched tightly in her other hand, clearly left by whoever had abandoned the child at the gate.
“Darling…! Do you have any… well… knowledge on… infants?”
Her voice was tinged with a mixture of frustration and concern, the uncertainty in her usually confident tone standing out starkly. She looked down at the tiny, fragile creature in her arms, the weight of the responsibility settling on her shoulders as she tried to balance the baby and the unfamiliar bag. Despite her commanding presence, it was clear she was out of her depth.
