In the cave, Jane tries to get the duke to give her blood to Elmire, but the duke refuses. He tells her that the evil mark on Elmire is disappearing, and that she should stop worrying about him. Jane is glad that the duke did not kill anyone, because she thinks that Elmire's heart is useless. She asks if there is anything else she wants to ask the duke, and the duke says that he did not tell her about the killing of Ailen because he was a bad person. If he were a good person, she would not have killed him, she says. She goes to see if she can find any herbs to treat her wound.
