*blinks and didn't even know there was another Alfred*

Hm, interesting-...he had his eyes poke out!? Ouch, ouch, ouch! D:

is it wrong that the fact both 'Alfreds' are related to each other amuse me?

Alfred the Noble isn't very well-known, so I didn't even know he existed until I had a class about him and his brother. And yes, something to that effect. It's not written on any sources I can find but my prof claims that's what happened... so I just go with what he says XD

Are they really? Ballin.

*nod*

yup, at least that what I got from looking at their family tree on the wiki.

I've learned something new today :) And I liked how Alfred was so attentive to Arthur's story!

I figure America would pay attention to anything that's semi about him, he's such an attention whore XD And I strive to educate people about Alfred the Noble, he's my favorite ♥

Thanks :D I like the history in it, too.

I never heard about this Alfred before but I like this version way better then Alfred the Great.
You did a really good job here.^^

When I first learned about Alfred the Noble, I was just so touched. He and his brother just went through so, so much and it was so sad. I'm glad you think I did a good job, and I hope you enjoyed learning about him :) He and his brother and their father were such interesting people.
