In this chapter, we learn that Milady and the others have reached a settlement with the Dornburgs. Milady tells the doctor that she has been in a bad mood since she was separated from her friend, and that they have caught up to the group and chased them off. She begs Milady not to tell anyone where she is, and Milady says that he will take the girl away from Milady. The doctor tells Milady that the contract is void, but Milady is willing to pay for the expenses incurred thus far. He asks Milady if she can assume that he falsified the contract, and she tells him that he is the son of a branch of the Dorinburgs, the lords in Cydonia
