Summoned to the palace hall, Cecilia (Ms. Moore) is accused after a servant reports seeing her enter with a man. Her Highness confronts Cecilia, scolding her for refusing the arranged path and claiming men and princes are merely tools; she warns that once Cecilia 'lost her purity' to her, it's up to her whether Cecilia becomes concubine or mistress. Allies Monica and Danny protest but are sidelined. The court urges Your Majesty to punish Cecilia for the 'disgraceful act.' Tension peaks when a royal order sends guards: 'Break the door down!' Guards force entry, leaving Cecilia's punishment immediate and unresolved.
