As Mithril informs Anne Jonas is having a mental breakdown, Anne produces a new version of the confection. However, William is not satisfied and vaguely instructs her to give it form. Anne produces a new confection having made several changes to it, but William deems it much worse than the last one and breaks it in anger. At night, Challe talks about Elizabeth in order to make her feel better. Anne returns to her room and sees Jonas taking hold of Mithril's detached wing. With Jonas threatening to break Mithril's wing to kill him, Anne sends Challe out of the castle by his order, while instructing her to not oppose anything Jonas says when meeting William. In the meeting with William, Anne makes a deal with William promising to stay until she makes the confection while allowing Jonas to leave after realizing the amount of abuse Jonas had endured by William. Meanwhile, outside the castle Challe runs into Hugh, who informs him that William has not been to Lewiston lately and viewing this as unfealty to the royal family, the Earl of Downing has sent soldiers to subjugate William and would likely lead to his death. Hugh arrives to convince William to go to Lewiston, but refuses. As the sun rises with Anne looking at the painting again, she notices she overlooked a critical detail of the fairy as she has both of her wings and thus, is not a slave.
