The Lady's Party

In the days after they return via ship from Isla Tormentos, the heroes resettle into Paix life. Sebastien spends time with Christine, with whom he is growing close. Aleksei is dodging Lady Moncrieff, and - through some consultation with Sister Martine - manages to place the rescued Vodacce Fate Witches in a country manor in his father's district. Shortly before the affairs at hand begin, Julien is approached by a man to execute a forged map, which he does and keeps quiet.
