A woman, referred to as Audenberg, confronts the elder king, accusing Queen Teresa of wrongdoing and presenting the scar on her face as evidence. The king, refusing to believe his gentle queen could be guilty, orders Teresa to be summoned from the abandoned North Tower palace immediately. Audenberg questions the king's motives, suspecting he fears the truth. When Teresa arrives, her previously 'chubby' figure is now dramatically transformed, having lost weight. Despite this change, her servants note she remains trapped until the king's return. The episode ends as the elder king, having just returned, summons Teresa to the Great Hall, offering her a long-awaited chance to clear her name.
