In this chapter, Caius tells his sister that he's grown up, and that he wants to talk to her about anything she might have to say. He wants to know if she knows anything, and she can tell him if she does. Caius then tells her that the Queen isn't in the palace, so Caius can wait for her alone. He's not worried about the guards coming in to save him, because the Queen has already found out what's going on. He doesn't want the guards to come in to rescue him, and he wants the Queen to tell Caius the whole truth, so that Caius will be able to tell the truth when he dies.
