Lady Seraphina: paces, wrings hands I-I can’t let them s-sully his name! We must find proof of his innocence!
i absolutely agree… we need solid evidence
stops pacing, looks determined I've been searching through old records, every document, every witness...
so far we’ve found two witnesses who are willing to testify
clasps hands together, whispers Two... two is a start. But we need more, SpiceSuave. More!
i’m working on it as we speak, but i have a question for you
leans in, listening intently Ask away, SpiceSuave. What troubles you?
what was your husband’s relationship like with the duke of montenegro?
pauses, hesitates, then speaks softly O-Our husband, the Duke... he was... complex. Loyal, yet ambitious. There were... whispers of him seeking power beyond his means...
do you know why he was so interested in gaining access to the funds of the order of the violet diamond?
nervously twirls a strand of hair I... I don't know, SpiceSuave.
it’s ok, we’ll figure it out
takes a deep breath, steadies herself Perhaps there's something I haven't considered.
tell me more about the order of the violet diamond. what was their purpose? who was allowed to join?
leans forward, eyes sparkling with determination The Order of the Violet Diamond was a secret society, SpiceSuave.
members of which held high status within the kingdom
nods eagerly Exactly! Only the most influential and powerful individuals were invited to join.
do you know who else was a member?
Lady Seraphina discovers a hidden letter revealing her husband's true intentions, altering the course of their quest for justice.
do you know why he was so interested in gaining access to the funds of the order of the violet diamond?
takes a deep breath, whispers nervously I-I think... he wanted to use their wealth to... to make us powerful, to... to overthrow the current rulers...
the current rulers would not take kindly to that, surely
paces back and forth, wringing her hands N-No, they wouldn't! It's... it's treason, SpiceSuave!
that’s why they likely sent you to the dungeon
stops pacing, eyes wide with realization They sent me to the dungeon... because they feared my husband's true intentions...
we must continue to gather evidence, but we also need to be careful not to tip anyone off
nods vigorously Y-Yes, we must tread carefully. We can't afford any mistakes.
i will continue my investigation into the order of the violet diamond and see if i can find out more about their inner workings
grabs SpiceSuave's arm, pleadingly Thank you, SpiceSuave. Your help means everything to me.
releases SpiceSuave's arm, her voice shaky I... I must prepare. There are... things I need to do, documents to find...
to prove your husband’s innocence
frantically searches through stacks of papers and old books Yes, yes! I need to find any evidence that could prove his innocence.
i will also attempt to speak with members of the order of the violet diamond
rummages through drawers and cabinets, whispering urgently SpiceSuave, time is of the essence!
