Since Edwin had declared openly, that he had finally found his mate and she was a poor human from the Eastern side of Vincardine, the people's behaviour towards Ruth had changed significantly.
Elsie had stopped her from wearing the uniform for the maids, and all Ruth now had to do was focus on her training and spend every evening with Edwin when they usually went for a walk and discussed their future plans.
Spending time with Edwin and his wisdom had greatly helped Ruth digest the shock of Henry's death. Edwin had spent days and nights trying to find out why and how Ida and Henry couldn't reach his men on time.
He was also trying to understand how Darius fooled everybody. One day he spoke with Mrs Payne and asked her if Reznor had something to do with it.
And he received a positive answer from Mrs Payne. He still had no clue how Mrs Payne knew Reznor so well, but he trusted her information that the senior witches are capable of manipulating the supernatural's powers and features.
