### Summary
The infiltration of Marquess Carter's mansion culminates in a tense escape, as Verta and Prince Brandt successfully liberate the long-imprisoned Princess Helena. Their flight from the secret underground chamber is facilitated by a teleportation scroll, a critical tool provided by Verta's absent partner, Blaine. The escape is immediately fraught with peril and uncertainty, as Verta suffers from disorientation or hallucinations, sparking fears that the scroll may have malfunctioned and separated the party. Despite his physical absence, Blaine's influence is paramount; Verta draws strength by thinking of him in this critical moment, a development that readers see as confirmation of their dark "soulmate" bond, cementing his role as her true counterpart over the naive Prince Brandt. The rescue itself is a major victory, with initial concerns about Helena's psychological state being partially assuaged by her apparent lucidity. With Carter's ultimate depravity now horrifically confirmed, this successful but precarious escape sets the stage for the final, brutal confrontation with the Marquess.
