When Rachel and Maxie returned to the palace the next day-the latter was greatly surprised that the conflict with the maid was already over. Not a mouse seemed to have uttered a word about what had happened.
At first Maxie had regretted it so much: that she had left the problem to Lerian. But she had never expected that she would be so good at it.

About the strange trip with Rachel Cassius, she preferred not to mention it at all… Frankly, she didn't quite understand what had happened herself.
When Rachel returned, she remained very taciturn. Even more than usual. The commander of the guards tried in vain to see if she had managed to find out anything. All he got in return was an order to do nothing and to wait for her decision.
