Incident after Party

The voice continued, carrying a sense of foreboding. "After last night's pre-celebration party, a tragic incident occurred. The second daughter of Count Raven, lady Isobel succumbed to Eldritch insanity. The shadow keepers have been summoned and are interrogating everyone who attended the party, especially those who had come into the contacts with lady Isobel."

My heart sank as the realization struck me. The Isabela, she was the one who had asked the question about the political history of her family before her father took the charge.

Shadow keepers—those enigmatic figures who wielded Eldritch power to tame and remove the outlaw Eldritches in behalf of church of Evernight. They were notorious for their rigorous and, often, brutal methods of investigation. My mind raced, trying to piece together the possibility and implications of being labeled a prime suspect. The dread tightened its grip around me, its icy fingers squeezing the breath from my lungs.
