While Dahlia was busy in the courtyard, Valentina had taken off for her own plans. Without a second's hesitation, she found her way to the main library of the castle and, upon entering the massive repository of information, she headed up a set up steps and to a far corner where a locked door was located.

Alongside these, the room was reinforced both physically and magically to prevent damage or any form of unintended intrusion, so the Archduchess couldn't help but be a little startled when she entered the door and someone was already there, sitting in a chair with feet on the table and reading a tattered tome from ages past.
