CHAPTER 89 (1) - Would there be Smoke, if there was no Fire?

"I am going to obtain a confession this afternoon. Rosemond will be put on trial for treason for an assassination attempt on a member of the Imperial Family."

"The death penalty should come out, right?"

"It will, unless something specific happens." Patrizia continued with a thoughtful expression, "When this scandal explodes, the reason the Duke of Efreni holds to Rosemond will disappear. No one will be able to object."

"I think so, too."

"When will the Duchess of Efreni return?"

"This afternoon. It should be around four o'clock, if nothing else comes up."

"Sounds good, Nilla." Patrizia exhaled a shallow breath. "It is a bit crazy to see things happen all at once… Yes, it might be better to have all of this taken care of now."

"Is that not how it usually goes? How good it would be if incidents popped up one by one. The problem is that things in the world do not work out like that."
