Firiel is excited that today is the Queen's birthday and thrilled to go a ball but before she goes, Roux comes to give Firiel a gift from her father. It is a necklace that she decides to wear to the ball where she meets Lot Chrisbard and Eusis Roland, whom she dances with. After the dance, Adel Roland sees Firiel's necklace and says that it is a missing Queen Jewel. Roux comes to take Firiel home and when they get home they find out that Firiel father has gone on south and that his work is considered 'heretical,' therefore putting everyone in danger. A secret organization comes to capture Firiel and Roux who, at the very end, escape.
