1. Are these 3 keys that Nick has now authentic keys or maybe counterfeits intended to lure Nick's keys out in the open?

2. If authentic how did they leave the hands of the royal families? Are the royals trying to retrieve them?

3. Will the  map that these keys make lead us to a treasure we really want to "find," "unleash", whatever? Is it a good "thing" we are looking for?

4. Are Wu and Hank going to the Black Forest also? Is Renard going to wonder why 3 of his men want vacation time to see the Black Forest at the same time? I'm thinking Renard was either misinformed since he was on the outs with the Royals, or he was lying to Nick since at the time their trust with each other wasn't all that great. Or Renard was correct, but at some point the Royals lost some or all of their keys somehow.
