On his way to the Duong Castle, Lucifer spots Marina, the Royal Envoy, heading into the Royal Library. He follows her in. Seeing him there, she is startled and surprised to see him there. She waves and asks what he is doing at the library.
Lucifer explains to Marina that he was on his way to the Duong Castle to investigate where their family key is. He tells her he created a painting to gift them and use it as a ploy to get in their castle and look around.
Marina seems to like the idea Lucifer had. She smiles and has a grin that seems slyish looking. Marina immediately tells Lucifer she needs to run and she’ll catch up with him later. She wishes him good luck at the castle. This felt odd to Lucifer as she had just entered the library moments ago and now tells him she has to go.
Lucifer stops a lady who was nearby and asks if they knew why Marina was there. She replies that they were murmuring something about Darong art books and then stopped when he came in, and the Envoy saw him. The lady tells Lucifer that each royal family has a section in the library and perhaps the Envoy was talking about the Darong’s.
The lady leads Lucifer to where the Darong royal family area is. He thanks her for her kindness and she walks off.
Lucifer examines the bookshelf. There are lots of books related to the Darong royal family. However, there is one book that stands out to him. He opens the book and flips through the pages. Many are pictures of the art collection the Darong’s have created. He flips to the cover, and it reads “Darong Family Heirlooms”. The cover seems pretty heavy to Lucifer. Thumbing the edges of the book inside cover, Lucifer discovers that the book cover inside actually opens up.
Inside tucked away within the book cover there is a copper key. The key’s head has the crest of the Darong family on it.
Back at the chateau, as Lucifer is getting ready for bed, he makes his way over to the case he had made to hold the 5 keys when he first found out about them. As he looks at the first key he has found, he wonders about Marina and begins to have suspicions about her.

It is great that he has now got the first key 🙂 The thought bubble of the Royal Envoy smiling is great! He does sound as if he is quite suspicious as she was acting quite odd. I hope that his further investigations on the quest go well.
