———-
Chapter 9 starts off from where chapter 8 ended. Auphora had dropped the watch, but in the chapter 9 she was informed off the location. When Auphora looked at the apple tree she knew that unless she was on a branch she couldn’t have lost it that easily, but guards had been looking for weeks, and she was fighting at the trunk. This made Auphora aware that Grover must have picked it up during the fight. Auphora panics and tells her people to go search his castle as she runs back to her castle. When she arrives she is out of breath, and walks downstairs panting. This causes delay in her speech with the prisoners in her dungeon. Auphora explains to one of them, marab, what has happened. Marab notices her panting as she begins speaking and asks “what happened to you?” Auphora explains that it’s a long story, and that she won the war, but sadly lost her watch. Marab becomes angry as he knows it could have killed him, causing Auphora to ignore them and walk up to her office. As she sits there she questioned why she was even asking them and not one of her own or even the protector. This reminds her of the scrolls Grover stole. She opens her drawer hoping for a clue, and reads a letter from one of her people when trapped in Grover’s prison. Auphora learns that the gem holder has written an in depth letter that could contain clues. Read the chapter to learn more!
