It is then, just as the masked headsman prepares the fatal sword, for the Hill Queen prefers the sword to the axe, that Summer Wind arrives at the locked eastern Gate under a flag of truce. The chief executioner steps back, taking the sword with him out of arm's reach of Jade Black Rose, and there is a moment of stillness wherein no one moves at all. Furious at being thwarted, and yet exultant at the princess's obedience, the usurper Queen pushes the girl from the parapet yelling, "Too late!"

Neither of the actions anticipated by Queen Black Rose, though, actually come to pass during those crucial 24 hours. Accordingly, a girl is chosen at random and led to the top of the Dawn Gate. Her name, coincidentally, is White Rose, and she is almost a child at the age of twelve. For this first decapitation, the originator of this ploy, the sorceress herself, will preside. She is liberally enshrouded in enchantments to repell all sharp, and most blunt, objects that might be hurled at her.

Her Majesty forgets, however, to recall the guards and witches hunting for the fake queen. Jade Black Rose is a very evil person, but not really that good a tactician. Achieving her current position was due mainly to surprise and treachery, and maintaining it accomplished through fear of the wicked folk she was able to entice to join with her. If she remembers the magic portal technology that... Budgie?... mentioned at all, it is merely as a means for her enemies to travel long distances.

Summer Wind is allowed exactly 24 hours from the time of this announcement to give herself up. There are no assurances that the Queen will not torture or kill her hostage girls anyway... unless, of course, Silver Fox also yields his fate to the control of the sorceress. Jade Black Rose expects the merciful and therefore foolish siblings to make an attempt to rescue the captives, or possibly even try to kill her, hence the young women are surrounded with traps and her own security is doubled.
