At the [[Interdimensional Tavern]], a listless [[Jenny Everywhere#Adventures with the Cupids|Jenny]], [[Juliet-178|Juliet]] and [[Arganthone-056|Arganthone]] fail to find out any new information about Tarsa. They end up returning to the rhyming riddle, and Juliet has a flash of inspiration. She realises that the star mentioned is not a literal star, but the [[Star Atop the Tree]] they saw in the [[Christmas Toyland]], inside which the “key” is surely hidden. The three rush to their repaired [[Fog Ship]], headed back for [[Madame Tarsa's Toybox]]. | At the [[Interdimensional Tavern]], a listless [[Jenny Everywhere#Adventures with the Cupids|Jenny]], [[Juliet-178|Juliet]] and [[Arganthone-056|Arganthone]] fail to find out any new information about Tarsa.

Inside the [[Imperial Castle]], the Chamberlain, [[Barnabus | Inside the [[Imperial Castle]], the Chamberlain, [[Barnabus Raffleby]], reflects on his career, which consisted of thirty-six fairly comfortable years under the old [[Dark Lord]] [[Lord Nefarious|Nefarious]], followed by a few months of hell frantically trying to rein in the new Emperor, [[Sebastian Steer]]. It seems that this is all over, for a new Dark Lord has taken over the throne, trapping Steer in a broom closet, bound with magically unbreakable ropes: [[the Clown Emperor]]. Raffleby is, of course, locked in there with him, but still finds it a comfort to see Steer in a position of weakness for the first time in months. | ||
