It was already late at night when Zenia and Vaughn had returned to the Palace of the Crown Prince. Count Cordove just told them that he had an urgent matter to discuss with them and asked for a meeting after their meal. Vaughn and Zenia agreed.
Renard offered his office as the venue of the meeting. He said that he made sure that no one would hear anything from that office, and no one would know where its exact location was. Not even his servants knew it.
"What do you think of Count Cordove's assumption?"
"It seems outrageous but I can't deny that it is possible."

Earlier that night at the Second Prince's restaurant…
Count Cordove returned to Prince Renard's restaurant. Vaughn and Zenia stayed for dinner and did not refuse the Second Prince's invitation to stay there for a bit longer.
Zenia checked the kitchen while Vaughn and Renard talked in the garden.
"Don't you think everything seems so quick to solve?"
