During the commotion Richard lets Veronica know that the Thana is nowadays a baron. Veronica isn’t happy.

Meori teases Voltaire with his least favourite food, a Delphian broccoli pier. The ambassador hears this and it is agreed that that will be for dinner. Veronica leaves to train with the squires, leaving the others in the dining room. In the training hall she forbids them from trying out the kali machine. They agree. Then she teaches them.
