As for the matter of killing and replacing a cleaning maid, this made sense. A servant of such a low rank wouldn't be questioned about anything important and mostly overlooked. It was the easiest rank to infiltrate.
"Where did you find the corpse?"
Sur Ka'iser hesitated. The hand that gripped his sword hilt out of habit tightened even more. "Behind the pavilion near the swan lake."
Verinia's eyebrows rose. "In my grounds?"
"Yes."
This also made sense. She was being targeted specifically, but what the Su'Adrit could not reason was whether that corpse was left there as a message for her or out of convenience.
"What condition was it it?"
This time, Sur Ka'iser truly looked troubled. "It was a fresh body. It couldn't have been killed earlier than last night."
…
Now that did not quite made sense.
