Ulrich and Johannes had come with some men from the castle to look for the couple, and the presence of the miller's daughter was greeted with silence by the residents of Tanbury. They said nothing, nor did Klaus's men question him in public. But they were happy that the Princess had found Romeo. Alexa wondered how much Johannes and Ulrich knew about Romeo, but that could only confirm when she was alone with Klaus again.

Alexa noticed that Mildred was shaking like a leaf, but she was silent. The castle's personnel pretended not to care or even notice that she was there, but when Alexa pretended not to be aware, she noticed the worried looks turned on the two.
