While the meeting to determine Alicia's fate was ongoing, in Susan's chamber, she and Williams waited impatiently for Luciana to join them. They didn't have enough time to spare now because they were not sure if the assembly was going to come to an agreement on whether Princess Amber was guilty or not.
Susan and Williams decided not to go to Lance first, but instead to speak with Luciana and find out her reason for asking them to find out where Lance had been on the night of the banquet.
That way, they could have more facts with which to face Lance, since the last thing they wanted was to go meet him with partial information and make him aware of what they knew.
"Why is she taking so much time?" Williams asked impatiently as he paced around Susan's bedroom.
