Following her complete public humiliation and subsequent isolation, Mielle makes a desperate move to secure a new ally. Now a maid, she approaches King Lohan of Croa, whom she mistakenly perceives as an enemy of Crown Prince Asher. In a misguided attempt to gain his protection, Mielle reveals sensitive information, including Asher's supernatural abilities, while clinging to a delusional victim narrative. This strategy is revealed to be a catastrophic miscalculation, as King Lohan is secretly a close friend and ally of the Crown Prince.
