Sophia is back in the palace, and the maid asks where she is. She tells the maid that she has been away from the palace for two weeks, and that Prince luka has taken her to a camp where the "vesperang people" are being held. The maid thanks her for throwing stones at her father when he was hanged, and says that everything she is doing now is for rebuilding his father's body. She says that it is the first time she has heard her people thank her for her help, and she feels "full of energy." The maid asks him what he was doing the day before, and he says that he was not suspecting him of setting the fire. He says that the fire was not an accident, but that he sometimes wonders if he really is his brother or not. He asks her if she wants to know what is going on, and when she says that she heard that the plague had been controlled in time, he says, "that's great." He then asks her what she thinks of alex, saying that if he is mad, he should punish her instead of her.
