Kai and Kitt visit Gail in the castle kitchen, where Gail serves sticky buns and fusses over them as if they were boys again. The three share light banter, with Gail joking about Kitt’s wedding night and his Dual ability, while Kitt tries to keep the mood easy. Kai, still raw from the day’s events, notes Kitt’s unusual happiness and tests their dynamic, bringing up Kitt’s past resentment about Kai borrowing his power.

Kitt reassures Kai, saying they are stronger together—Kai provides strength while Kitt provides control—insisting they can forge a better legacy than their father’s. Kai smiles but is unsettled, remembering Kitt’s earlier brutality and avoiding the subject of Calum’s death. When Kai tries to raise the courtyard incident, Kitt hurriedly changes the subject by complimenting Gail’s baking.

Gail mentions adding a spice Iris Moyra liked in her sticky buns and recalls bringing them to the tower during Iris’s first year of marriage, hinting at a pregnancy. Kitt asks if it was a pregnancy craving, and Gail hesitates. The detail makes Kai calculate timelines: Paedyn is eighteen, the child of Queen Iris and the king’s Mind Reader, while Kai is a year older. The discrepancy jolts him, raising new questions about Iris’s death and the royal secrets surrounding both births.

As Gail and Kitt continue talking, Kai’s thoughts race. He abruptly confronts Gail about when she planned to tell the truth of Queen Iris’s death, revealing that he and Kitt now know Paedyn’s parentage. Gail is shocked that they know, and Kitt tries to intervene, confused by Kai’s leap.

Kai declares he needs answers, saying everyone has been lied to, and leaves the kitchen. Kitt follows, begging for an explanation. Kai promises to explain only after confirming his suspicion, then resolves to find Paedyn to pursue the truth.
