Marguerite wakes up in the king's bed, alone.
She sits up and tries to recall yesterday's event, but for some reason, every time she does, she gets a splitting headache instead.
She tries to forget about it and gets escorted outside by an Eunuch after washing up and eating breakfast, she notices that only a single maid is accompanying her, and the direction they are walking in isn't her room. She starts to worry and asks the leading Eunuch where they are going.
"The main hall, jie yu Isolde."
Not inquiring further, they eventually arrive at the giant imperial hall. There, she sees familiar faces of women with colourful clothing and fancy hairstyles.
Going to sit next to a lady, she nods in acquiescence to show respect between women of similar ranking. The other replies likewise and they both wait for the emperor to grace the crowd with his appearance.
