Venus remained confined to her tower or spacecraft in order to avoid a mishap that she and Lilet believe the queen plotted against her. Their guess was correct, the queen summoned her, and the personal maid who had been with her the previous time gave her a solemn look.
She wasn't glowering at her this time, but she did appear nervous. They took a different hallway than the one leading to the Queen's East Tower. They climbed a stairwell and came to a halt in front of a massive wooden heavy door. The door was guarded by two scouts who opened it for them. The door suddenly closed while she was inside the dark room.
Inside, the damn maid had locked her up.
