Gran warns Maryrose not to follow the fairy lights in the woods, as they will lead her to Faerie--knowing that this is exactly what she will do. Maryrose follows the lights, which then turn into variously-colored fairies. Queen Dymphna soon joins them, and while Maryrose was always warned that the fairies would try to trick kids to stay in Faerie, that's exactly what happens. Maryrose stays there for years, playing with the Queen and her maidens, without a worry.

The Amadan brings news that the King is returning from war, and the Queen has her maidens, including Maryrose (now called Rosebud), go with her to welcome him. King Obrey comes back and there is a feast. The Amadan, taking note of Rosebud, starts to set a plan in motion for her to become Queen, since Dymphna and Obrey have no children...
