Duchess tilts her head a bit at Nardu's response. "Yes... your actions have begged to differ from the moment you came. (To Anastasia) If that is everything we can ask from each other... I think we are all but done here. I now understand... what you lot are to do. And at the same time.. you all know now of what I have done."

Anastasia's eyes narrow. "Perfect. Right now your Wiccen unit is after Glinda and the people she is with. I hope they haven't done anything to her yet... because I am yet to be answered of the queries I have at this point. (TO Duchess) Do you still have contact with your mercenaries?'

"At most, yes."

"Tell your units to retreat their attack on my people.. just until we meet and I set things straight." Anastasia jabs a finger in the Duchess' direction. "Unless you think you want to defy me."

"Of course, I wouldn't dream to defy the king's daughter. " Duchess snaps her fingers. The Sweet Surrender enchantment that surrounded the room starts to fade through a dissipating pink halo. She smiles at everyone. "It will be done."

''"They ALLY with the wrong. That is why I punish them for their foolishness." s''pat Haqua in response. "I merely set to root out what may doom us all, before it realizes its own potential. DO me a favor and think about that for a second."

As Albi teared up in her response to Haqua's hostility, Elphabi steps up. "You have heard her. Now, Haqua... tell me.. my dearest coven member. (Glares) Who sent you after us.. and in particular.. Glinda the Good?"

Haqua is silent.

"HAQUA! AS your coven leader.. I order you to SPEAK!"

Haqua squirms a bit before responding. ".... the Duchess of Sweets. From Candy Country. (grits her teeth) ....

''She... set us to uncover... whether the plots of Wiccen overturning the throne of Oz... are true. (Looks up) This.. is directly after we have heard rumours of Liandrie, alive... and when we found Cattra gone from her post.. her bloody wand was the only thing that remained in her tower."''
