Things just keep going south. From one problem to the other. We want to figure out an issue but an even bigger one comes up. Just when we are about to find someone who could interpret what the words on the tablet meant, Queen Penelope gets taken away by someone or something we do not know on King Stefan's orders.
Just like we suspected, King Stefan was the one behind the Queen's kidnap and the plan was not just him alone. No one knew whoever it was behind the masked hoodie nor did they even know he had such a person or thing on his side. He did not let anybody know about his plans, not even Inara. He made all plans on his own and the only time his folks got to know about it was at the time Queen Penelope arrived at the dungeons. Inara did not believe it that King Stefan actually made a plan without her.
She was his biggest advisor and none of his plans ever went well without her approval or maybe King Stefan thought so.
