Ready for the Banquet

After visiting Vaughn's great-grandmother's graveyard, Zenia did not feel like returning to the restaurant. She had a hunch that Vaughn's melancholy must have something to do with his grandmother. She wanted to console him by telling him things, but she decided that it must be best to leave him alone for a while.

Vaughn did not insist on going back to the restaurant for their lunch. They boarded the carriage and instructed the coachman to head back to the Palace of the Crown Prince. He took Zenia to visit his great-grandmother to present her and for him to strengthen his resolve. Zenia promised to help him and that was good enough for him to continue with his plan.
