Maria was walking back and forth in the room where the prince locked her. She was alone and trying her hardest to keep herself calm despite what happened and what would still happen. The pixies left her alone again, returned to their original form, then slipped into a small opening through the door. They had all decided and planned that before they helped Maria escape, they needed to find the rooms where Alaia and her servants were being kept first. The castle was thrice as big as Alaia's castle, so looking for them wouldn't be easy and if Maria freely walked around the castle searching for them with the pixies, they knew that their plans would only end up for naught.
