you need to have the Stringiamano as well. You are attacked the first time in the Stringiamano room, then make sure to visit the library (where it will attack you again) and then you will be attacked for a third time downstairs. After the third attack, choose to trap it instead of destroy it. You will place it in a wooden box to take with you. It will then come in handy when facing the Count at the end.

After the pillared hall where you meet the little man who will open one of the 3 metal boxes for you, you follow the passage south, then turn west at the junction. The passage turns south, and then you open the door in the west wall with the silver key from the rubbish pile. Inside is the vending machine.

If you met Alyn Kyra in the ballroom of the palace, she gives you a little bit about the background of the Barashai demons (herself and Kianmay). In their service to Heaven, the demons are being redeemed, and losing their demonic nature. Alyn Kara is less transformed that Kianmay, and thus less human in appearance, but also more powerful and retaining more memories about her previous life. Part of the redemption is to regain innocence through the loss of memories about their past evil. This is why Kianmay's secret is not so much something she is hiding so much as something she is embarrassed about. When the character sees her bathing, he becomes confused and uncertain; because he has seen and sensed her goodness, but then sees physical evident that she might have a different nature. He is not sure what it means, so doesn't jump to any conclusions. He doesn't ask her about it because, it's not an easy thing to talk about, for her and for him (since her would have to tell her how he knows). It's like discovering that your good friend has a criminal record. It's a bit hard to bring up and keep a good relationship. You only turn on her when you face King Darm if you believe his story about her, which you may if you have seen the physical evidence, but not heard Alyn Kyra's explanation.

It is still a bit confusing to me. You can not question her when all you know is that she is a demon. But later in Castle of light when you know she is fighting for the good cause even being a demon, you are allowed to defect her

Even if you did know she was a demon, what can you do but act normally. I've never completed the book, but I have got to the bit where you see her nude in the king's tub. She is your employer after all and presumably, you have no idea whether her intentions are good or evil at the time of discovery.
