The ladies tell Dany that their housekeepers are strange and from foreign lands like her, maybe she knows of them? They all have strange stories, and it's as though some of them are barely even French. Not, of course, that there's anything wrong with that! Awkward laughter. The ladies all say Dany is free to beat some sense into their servants, but it's clear they're joking, and no real appointments are made.
There are several hints that the letters are being written by Marie and Lafayette. There are clearly two other writers, and one might be the king, judging from comparing handwriting styles. The fourth is a mystery.
The Commander informs Dany that she needs to retrieve the item, which she keeps calling an 'egg'. She checks a couple times to confirm that it really got Dany's blood, and now changes colors when she touches it. The Commander doesn't sound happy about it, but it's Dany's now. She's warned not to touch it with bare skin again unless she wants to lose more blood, but it might be a good idea to keep it on her person and make sure it isn't lost, stolen, or broken. As time goes on, it will start to grow.
The queen eats up Dany's story, and makes some comments of her own. She was never supposed to be queen, it was her older sisters, they were trained for it. She was the youngest, she was supposed to stay home... but she thinks she's done her best. She doesn't entirely sound convinced.
The servant, who we'll name Jeanne-Anne, is very jaded and not particularly fond of royalty. She says they're probably hiding a godemiché (protip, don't google that at work) or something similarly stupid like that while Paris rips itself apart. But as she tells her story, it becomes clear that the nobility's preoccupation with hiding things in specially locked boxes, hidden treasures and special keys, is a pretty common preoccupation of the rich. It's no wonder, she says, that locksmith keeps hanging around like a jackal. He's probably getting paid ridiculously well.
