Chapter 19 Summary

Azalea finds herself back in her room. She tends to her torn dress and cut from the dancers on the pavilion. She takes the tongs out of her pocket, realizing the Keeper, the High King, had the tongs the entire time. Azalea concludes it is the King's sword that is the magical item that was broken earlier in the year. She doesn't know how the magic works though so she doesn't know how to destroy it in the five day deadline she has before Christmas. She hears a noise coming from the broom closet and finds Lord Teddie in there, who is there for the riddle. The other girls come around the corner and Lord Teddie entertains them.
