An investigation in Constantinople

On a ship, Duke Gautier was drinking some beer while looking in the distance at the beautiful and fantastic walls of Constantinople.

"It's a beautiful city, don't you think Guido?"

Guido, who was cleaning his sword, could only nod "It brings back many memories of when we came to visit her with Emperor Charlemagne.

But since we are about to arrive, what will we do first, investigate on our own or inform the Basil? "

Gautier stroked her chin "We should settle down low and do all we can into this week.

When we have something solid or for some reason the line of investigation is lost, we will have to inform Basil to request his help.

Either way, we have a week to work and enough silver and gold to even find out what Kassia's last meal was.

The only thing we have to bear in mind is that perhaps the truth we discover may be something horrible, for it has been too long since Empress Irene was deposed by Basil. "
