Chevalier and Emily make it to Island Coven amid fears from Emily that it greatly resembles a prison.  Once settled in, Chevalier is immediately called away and Emily has to endure her first evening alone in his castle.  When he returns, a small argument ends the night.  The next morning, Emily threatens to leave, but finally relents to stay until Chevalier returns from yet another meeting, this one involving Ulrich and his Elders.
