- She's clever and slippery, but you can nail down those lies. Catch her off guard when she slips up.
- I heard hushed words, but I couldn't make out any of them. The queen seemed pleased though.
- Minister Arton heard everything. His ears must be better than yours.
- Let me think for a moment. I'll be back.
- I meant I only heard a word or two, here or there. "Watchknights" is kind of hard to miss. I'm sure the queen was arranging to give Scarlet one.
- Actually, Scarlet wanted permission to study with the watchknight engineer.
- Aren't you the testy one. No, the queen agreed to meet with Scarlet later to discuss it in private. She knew what she was doing was wrong.
- You weren't there. You can't possibly know how they behaved. Unless you questioned the goat?
- Flame Legion Turret
- I spoke with Arton. His version agrees with the countess's...and the goat's.
- Yes, well, one person's politeness is another's friendliness.
- That means nothing.
- Hello, busy bee. I must admit, I'm a bit charmed by how you flit from flower to flower.
- I know all about you.
- I've learned a few things about you.
- Wait. Are you sure it's the right time? I don't think we have all the information we need.
- Aftermath Toxic Counteragent
- Never mind. We'll be back.
- I used to work with Lord Caudecus, but now that I'm considering retirement, I've started spending most of my time in the Ministry library. I hardly ever see him.
- That's not what I heard.
- Admittedly, I occasionally do small tasks for him, but he's still recovering from that awful scandal. He keeps to himself most of the time.
- You attended his garden party not long ago.
- Even at parties, Lord Caudecus is off doing his own thing and I'm left to my own devices. I'm just a wallflower, really.
- Shy, huh?
- Lord Caudecus did ask one thing of me at the garden party. He has a cousin, a single man. I agreed to meet him. My lord believes we'll be a good match.
- Now you're telling me Caudecus was matchmaking?
- Listen closely to what Estelle says. Once she's finished, don't be afraid to ask her to repeat what she said. Press her only when you're certain she's lying.
- I have a question. Is it true that you work closely with Lord Caudecus?
- Hm. She keeps back-paddling. Press her when she lies, and then present your evidence to counter her arguments.
- Why would I lie about something like that? He's my boss's boss's boss. I don't work directly with him.
- I met someone who says you see Caudecus often.
- Oh, yes. I'd nearly forgotten that. There was a large crowd there. I only saw the legate minister from across the roses.
- I heard there was only a handful of people there.
- Oh yes. I barely spoke with anyone during that entire party. Beautiful garden, though.
- A witness said you had an aside with Caudecus. He talked. You nodded.
- Fine. He and I talked, but you'll never learn the topic of that discussion, and you can't prove it had anything to do with the queen.
- I don't have to prove it. I just have to discredit you.
- Hello. We were just discussing how horrible it is that the queen betrayed us all.
- That's just a bad rumor, a lie.
- It's a travesty.
- I'll leave you to it.
- No, it's not. I saw her in the Salma District shortly after nightfall. She wore a black woolen cloak with the hood up. The only reason I knew it was her was because I bumped into her and saw her face.
- Hmm. If you say so.
- This doesn't add up.
- Kasmeer, what do you think?
- The jotun have many secrets. This is but one.
- Stargazer Pendant
- "I should have never left the raft."
—Vallog - Vallog's Demise
- It glitters with malice.
