Just to try to get this figured out because there are lots of characters in a big castle…
1. Abilene enters the secret passages.
2. Duchess Cassandara encounters Princess Gwenevere.
3. Surah hides the stolen spool in the staircase and goes to the kitchen.
4. Millie finds Abilene in the passageway and is in trouble with Cook.
5. Kestran meets Regin.
6. Millie goes to the kitchen and on the way runs into Kestran.
7. Regin takes Kestran to the gardens. Kestran finds the path.
8. Surah is cleaning the ballroom when she falls into the passageway.
9. Surah climbs out of the passageways through the well.
10. Abilene is summoned to the king and queen and accused but let off (for now) because of her fraternization with Gwenevere. Abilene goes tot he passageways.
{guys? Ruby got robbed not Gwenevere. Can we just say that Abilene wasn't accused of stealing but of simply being too close to Gwenevere?}
11. Duchess Cassandara is summoned to the king and queen and put in the dungeouns for being too disloyal. She will be executed soon.
12. Kestran notices Surah climbing out of the passageways and follows her to the kitchen.
13. Millie is summoned to the king and queen and accused but let off (for now) because of the spool of thread. Abilene confronts Millie in the passageway and accuses her too.
14. Kestran is attacked by Cook but rescued by Surah. Surah takes him through the passageways to the throne room.
15. Surah encounters Abilene and Millie in the passageway. Surah has the golden thread.

Okay, between #14 and #15 insert:
14a. Surah takes Kestran out of the throne room and to the well, then to the tower.
14b. Kestran leaves, but Surah goes back with the thread to the throne room passageways.

That sounds just about right, Air. And sorry about the princess confusion.

Thank you, Air!

Well, it's more like I'm just obsessive and a little confused, so I just like to get stuff straightened out… glad it's sorted out though!

Then I like your obsession!
No more charries, please!

Kestran~
I walk slowly down the normal hallway to the throne room. I don't even have to watch the path, I've lived here so long and walked there so many times. I'm holding The Complete Book of History. I wasn't even sure it existed, but here it is! A priceless treasure.
I realize I've forgotten to dismiss Surah. Mentally, I apologize. Even a half-prince should have more manners that I've been showing.
I knock on the throne room's oaken door. The torch on the right side of the door is lit but not the one on the right, which means no one is present except the king and queen.
"You may enter," I hear the lilting song of the queen's voice say.
I step in, bowing deeply.
"Rise," says the king in his deep baritone.
"My king and queen," I say, "I present you with The Complete Book of-"
The king interrupts me, his eyes wide in shock. "The Complete Book? Kestran. Kestran, where. Did. You. Find. This?"
I don't fear the king, for I know he does quite like me, perhaps more so because I'm only a half-prince and never a threat, never able to go beyond the castle, with no one under my power. I sigh mentally every time I tell myself this: it's both a blessing and a curse. But now I can see his anger is at the book, something mysterious. I steel myself to answer correctly, in search of truth.
"It was found in a secret room in the third tower." The words on my lips feel like a betrayal of Surah. The secret room will lead to questions about the passage and about the servants. "A room full of books and chests."
The queen asks, again musically, "How did you enter this room?"
My world spins. Surah, or the queen? The answer should be simple, but… she's sworn me to secrecy and has helped me. It's a small lie. It can't hurt. "The room connects to the stair." Part-truth. Like the half-prince. "I noticed the golden gleam of the book, and when I pulled it, the room was above me."
Suddenly, three servant girls burst into the throne room. One of them… is Surah.

Abilene~
Millie and I brought Surah of her own free will. I'm surprised at that, but she came. When we got to the throne room, we all curtseyed, stood up, and I said, "Your Highnesses, The Princess Ruby's thread."
Surah held it up sadly.
The king looks angry to be interrupted from- well, what's he doing?- but he responds, "Very well. We will think this over. You are all dismissed. You" -he points at Surah- "will be called after I am done with Kestran. Stealing is a very serious matter, especially from a princess. And Abilene, I am not done with you."
We all leave, Millie and I retreating into a passageway, Surah staying behind to wait.
"Abilene?" Millie asks.
"Yes?"
"We proved it wasn't you. So why is the king angry?"
"Well…" I sigh, "He seems to have something against friendships."
Millie can tell this is a tough subject, and says no more.
