Scene opens where we last left off.

Octavia: ...What about Y/N?

Moxxie: There's no easy way to break it to you, your highness, but the long and short of it is he's been kidnapped.

Octavia: By who?!

Blitzo: Your mom.

Stolas: Blitzy, I don't think this is the time to be making those horrid "Your mother" jokes-

Blitzo: No, I mean that your wife is the one that kidnapped Y/N!

Stolas & Octavia: What?!

Stolas: What did he ever do to Stella?

Millie: No clue. But we heard from another assassin that an old...friend of ours was hired by her.

Octavia: Who?

Loona: ...Strika.

Octavia: Protective girlfriend mode activated

Stolas: The same woman who was hired to assassinate me at the Harvest Moon Festival?

Millie: The one and only.

Blitzo: Look we called you because you know that classist bitch better than anyone. Where would she be hiding Y/N?

Octavia: Well, I can try my locator spell.

She pulls a small orb out of her pocket and whispers an incantation. After a few seconds, she massages her temples as if she has a headache.

Octavia: It's not working. Something's disrupting the spell.

Stolas: There is *one* place she might be keeping him...

He outstretches his hands and casts an illusion of a small castle

Stolas: This castle has been in Stella's family for ten generations. 

Verosika: It's not in your name as well?

Stolas: No. My matrimony to Stella was...an arrangement.

Octavia: What? 

Stolas: It was never about love. It was about wealth, status, and political gain. 

Octavia: You mean that you and Mum never really loved each other???

Stolas: ...No.

He bends down and places his hands on Octavia's shoulders.

Stolas: Please try to understand, Via. I *tried* to make things work, but she was always so cold and distant towards me. (Looking towards Blitzo) It's why I've been unfaithful to her.

Octavia: But you always seemed so happy when I was kid.

Stolas: You were young, My Owlette. Children have the pleasure of having innocent minds and not having to carry the burdens of adulthood.
