As they left Blueflower Alley, Violet immediately spoke up.

"You were right! Henry can't be trusted. Aside from spilling information about Darin, he wouldn't even give up anything about Harvey. Plus, he still calls himself 'the prince consort'. It's clear he's not ashamed of the title. But it's strange. Why would he tell us about Darin in the first place?"

"He wants us to stop the marriage because his mom is the matchmaker. He doesn't want to involve his mom, and he's trying to preserve the relationship between her and Thomas' mom. His heart is with his family. As for whether he has any genuine affection for Melanie Lester or fatherly love for his daughters, only he knows," Carissa explained.

"That bastard!" Violet cursed. Then, she paused and asked in confusion, "But you told him our plan. He's definitely going to run straight to Eleanor and spill everything."

A sharp glint flashed in Carissa's eyes. "That's because we aren't making our move during the Illumina Festival, but on the first day of October during the Emberfest Festival.

"On that day, Eleanor will invite high priests to her residence to perform rites for the souls of the dead. Many kind-hearted ladies will donate money, or personally bring scripture they've copied to burn at the altar. The people participating in that ceremony are truly compassionate."

Many will be there to network and make a show for the king. Eleanor has publicly declared that day to be for the kingdom's prosperity, so we can't act then."

Violet laughed. "Got it. So she'll think we'll strike on the fifteenth day, but won't expect anything during the Emberfest Festival. Do you have a plan?"

"No need for a plan. We'll use the most direct method we know from our time in Meadow
