- Grace’s investigation: After Sir Gerald is found dead, Lord Robert is suspected. Grace notices that Sir Charles has been acting strangely and that something about the body seems odd; she investigates with Ellie and Masou. The investigation is framed around gathering clues and questioning suspicion, rather than accepting the first accusation.
- Marriage expectations: At a ball, Grace is asked to choose among three suitors, but she does not want to marry any of them. The scene places Grace’s preference alongside the court’s expectation that she choose a husband.
- Worth knowing
- The mystery involves a murder, a dead body, suspicion and threats at court. These elements may prompt questions about death and danger while reading.
