Nataliem's familiar is sent to spy on her, and see if she needs any correcting. The raven notices with alarm that Iobel is not packing for a trip, she's packing to flee the country. Her person has miscalculated - and now a fourth candidate's about to be lost. But this is preventable - there is something that only the palace offers, something that would get her where her human wants her.
She flies off, steals a vial of a very slow acting poison, and then returns. Ravens have good dexterity, and she is cleverer than most - she's not even seen. When Iobel and Cricket are both distracted the poison is mixed into Cricket's food, and then the raven finds a place to watch the effects of her plot.
