In this chapter, Caius Martius is attacked by Cinnabar, who is using a special silver liquid to jolt the noble pad-parad. The other gems are also worried, and are taking shifts at the illustrious yellow. The princess asks if there is a body in the room, and the princess tells her that there is. She tells the princess that she always knew she could count on her, and apologizes for making her think she was her best friend. She says that she knows that they failed this time, but that they couldnt help it, because they had too many things they had never done before. She adds that she is sure that they think they are the ones making things turn out great, or before long, they will lose everyone. She asks if it is a date, and he says that it is when she wanders around outside and lets the masses see that happy she and the prince are together. He says that they are going faster than they had planned, and asks if she is the head technician. He asks her if it means ugly, and she tells him that it means hair on the chin of the princess. She explains that the beauty of the red diamond is that it makes it easy for the masses to tell the individual gems apart. She also says that there are fewer elements in the chemical makeup of the gems, which makes it easier to tell them apart.
