Life seems to have settled down in Sutrena. The school has begun operations, most damage from the heavy storm has been repaired, and Solis is growing up just fine too. However, the quiet never lasts for long. Prince Valen of Polpystan visits and brings with him his country's problems, like Myzahn's suspicious activity. Nazelbart does his best to keep himself in a neutral position, but will that work out? As Agnes and Nazelbart set off for the capital to celebrate the second birthday of Desnim's twin princes, Agnes worries about Kelly's unusual behavior. Something seems to be troubling the handmaiden, but she isn't the type to bother others with her problems. Fortunately our heroine isn't one to back down from a challenge, even if said "challenge" is lending an ear to her good friend.
