Camilla tells Envy that Vexley has something that belonged to her deceased father, and she wants it back. She does not tell him that the item is a key from Silverthorne Lane but implies that it has sentimental value. After confirming that Camilla’s father is truly dead, Envy offers to assist with finding the keepsake, returning the forgery, and dealing with Vexley, if she’ll paint the Hexed Throne. She agrees to give him an answer at the ball he’s hosting in two days.
Envy visits Silverthorne Lane and confirms that it is filled with exiled Fae. He recalls how Prim Róis, the Unseelie Queen, abdicated her throne to cause discord and upset Lennox, leaving him and their four children to rule the Unseelie court. He finds an emerald paintbrush, which he buys.
When the Fae merchant correctly identifies him as a Prince of Hell, Envy demands to know about Pierre, Camilla’s father, and his dealings on Silverthorne Lane. The Fae reveals that, from them, Pierre learned about the realm lines, how to travel realms, and gained a portal key. Just as he is about to press the Fae for more information, Envy is distracted by the sudden appearance of Katherine’s husband, who is causing a commotion.
