In this chapter, we learn that the traitor was not really Lapis, but the princess. She was in collusion with a messenger from the Hittites, and was the traitor. She had General Memphis, and the traitor today. She also had messengers from the hittites. The king would not have brought her into the palace, because she was a worthless princess. Lapis is sad because of her, but he would never leave her, even though he thought the king loved her. The princess tells the two of them about the secret prison in Bes, where thousands of criminals had been killed. She tells them not to rush in alone.
