Dixie walks out the door and back towards the palace, taking a different route. She wanders into the palace and finds Mintie with Rowena outside the throne room. Hazel takes her apron back and ties it neatly.
Cedric: "It has come to my attention that Lucas is delving into the secrets of Zhar and the Dark Shadow. I believe he may be doing so for his own advantage." Zhar: "I guess so. But I would like to see Tanya in action beforehand. We will go to the market tomorrow and test her skills."
Tanya grabs Zhar arm and pulls him back. "Dont..." (She never speaks. So its a bit shocking to people when she does.)
Hazel smiles at Elsie. Mintie knocks on the throne room door, her notes ready in her hand. Rowena stands waiting patiently. Elige walks out as well, heading a strange way to the market. He sits on a bench is a grass area near the palace, just watching people pass.
"It was a rare occasion for the Earl to be in a place as easy to kill him as it was. We had to take it."
