I'm getting a headache trying to mentally assemble this. Pen and paper, tomorrow.
Seemingly a potential step-sister may have done it to Alkimila's father. Or at least made an attempt; I suspect there are two...suspects.
Somehow Meisje ties it together (including Solène and her strange package, and the fact that she actively sought her out), and in the course of solving the crime, Thelumene is somehow either sufficiently sated or sufficiently implicated to get her roncool her jets.
I don't see Dardana serving as a courtroom witness without being in likely jeopardy.
Yes, Dardana showing up in court is precisely what she wants to avoid! The Palace of Justice would examine her quite thoroughly until she was a couple of inches taller, and then the magistrate would reward her assistance to the State by either condemning her for masquerading as a citizen or turning her over to Testaferrata, or both.

It gives me a headache to write it …
