When they enter, she finds out Julian is gone, which makes her sad and mad. Lawrence is put in jail again by the Knights.

Goldenhall
Julian and Theresa are cheered on very loudly by a huge crowd of Carlyslians while entering Goldenhall. They seperate to two different chambers to get dressed for their wedding.
