Doyle and Barinthus rushed into Doyle's room. Doyle pulled out the small mirror from his pocket. He and Barinthus crowded around it. Doyle said the phrase he had set the mirror to. They then had a clear view of Doyle and Frost's bedroom. "Frost!" Doyle called. After a moment, Kitto appeared. "Where's Frost, Kitto?" Doyle asked. "He is with Lady Merry and the new comers." "Get him, please." Doyle watched Kitto hurry away from the mirror. A moment later, Frost and Merry showed. "Doyle? What's wrong?" Frost asked. "Cel is free." Doyle swayed on his feet slightly. Barnthius reached out a hand and steadied him. "And Doyle has been poisoned." Barnthius added. "What!" exclaimed Merry. "How?" "The Queen welcomed me back," Doyle said softly. "Doyle, sit down," Barinthus said. "I will tell Merry and Frost what is occuring here." "The Queen is hosting a feast tonight. In Cel's honor, celebrating his release. She has taken a new lover, who is as cruel as she is. His name is Kevames. He is a banished Seelie." "Rory is here. He has apparently had a run in with this Kevames," Merry interrupted. "I am not surprised. Kevames and he don't like each other. Watch him, Merry. He is still Cel's friend. The feast tonight is to pacify the Prince because his best friend was sent away." Barnthius looked away for a moment. "Doyle is in trouble. The Queen has decreed that tonight's entertainment is dueling. Specifically, Doyle against several challengers. With this poison in him, he might stay alive, but I fear he will be hurt. I don't want to think of tomorrow night." Barinthus looked worried. "Can you get him through tonight?" Frost asked. "Yes." "I will be there for him tonight. By midnight.." Frost looked grim. "There's more, Barinthus." Merry said. She told him what had taken place that night at the crime scene. When she was done, she could hear Doyle cussing in the background. "I don't like this, Merry," Barinthus said seriously. "I will see what I can learn here. We are almost out of time now. The Queen expects us back. Frost, midnight. We will be out along the walkway near the road." "I will wait for you there. Let me talk to Doyle again." Barinthus handed the mirror to Doyle. "Yes, Frost?" Doyle asked. "Be careful." Merry said. "I think this is a trap, Doyle." Frost stated. "First, you have to go back. Then, the Queen sends Rory. The trap for Merry. Now, you having to fight duels after being poisoned. Even after they are done, watch your back as best as you can. I will be there at midnight." Doyle nodded, then cleared the mirror. He looked at Barinthus. Silently, they headed back to the feast hall.
