At Evelynn's query, the laughter between Damian and Crystal subsided, their expressions shifting to a more solemn, contemplative demeanor. It was Crystal who responded first, her words tinged with a hint of caution. "Well, you see, Queen Fiona and her ever-vigilant guards have been rather... shall we say, lurking around Damian's room of late. And to be on the safe side, we had already switched you out with another girl in the dungeon, but it seems she has caught on to something. That's why we've had to take the less conspicuous route through the passage instead."

Damian nodded in agreement, his gaze steadfast and unwavering as he added, "Exactly. You must understand, Evelynn, we are never on the queen's side. It just feels morally wrong to be in her presence, even though we too are of royal lineage." He paused for a moment, his expression growing contemplative.

"You see, position and power don't necessarily equate to virtue. The higher one ascends, the more responsibilities and temptations arise, and if one is not properly prepared, it can become increasingly challenging to discern the righteous path."

"Thank you, both of you," she said, her voice brimming with genuine gratitude. "I've never received such thoughtful words of guidance and encouragement before. It truly means a lot to me." Her eyes shone with a newfound sense of confidence and determination, her faith in her newfound friends only growing stronger.

"Um, hey, can I ask you something?" Evelynn began, her eyes shining with anticipation and a hint of trepidation. Damian eagerly moved closer to her, drawn by the allure of the unknown, while Crystal rolled her eyes good-naturedly, though her own interest was piqued as she joined them.

Evelynn continued, her voice low and measured, "I saw the news on the walls and the table about Queen Eleanor. I understand she was the previous queen, but it mentions she had lost her child, and this occurred in 1912. That was over a century ago, yet Queen Fiona has only recently been crowned. Who ruled the kingdom in the intervening years?"

With a sense of purpose and conviction, Crystal responded, "Yes, that's the very enigma we've been diligently trying to solve for years, Evelynn. The gap between Queen Eleanor's reign and Queen Fiona's coronation is a puzzling conundrum that has evaded our best efforts at unraveling." Her tone was laced with a subtle urgency, her eyes imploring Evelynn to understand the gravity of their quest.
