• Nonsense. I was at no such meeting. I did, however, receive a mysterious message signed only with the initial E.
• The note said that Estelle was in a bandit gambling parlor when she was supposedly spying on our queen.
• Reminding her of this will be enough to make her drop her lie faster than Faren's dignity.
• Let me catch you up on what's happening.
• Queen Jennah can't attend the summit because someone has accused her of conspiring with Scarlet. The hearing is the same day.
• Someone's lying, and we have to figure out who.
• Soon as we know, we can confront that person and get them to recant their statement.
• We need to talk to everyone, find clues to the truth, and build evidence to defend the queen. Once we discover who among them is the mastermind, we'll take action.
• Assassin's Ceremonial Morning Star
• But be careful. These people are suspicious and sensitive. Say something too blunt or off-putting, and they'll clam up.
• If we're obviously undermining their plans, they'll have us escorted out of the party, and it will all have been for nothing.
• Don't misunderstand, Countess—I'm certainly grateful to you for purchasing my billet and putting me to work.
• I'm just not sure I understand the reasoning behind dragging me to this soiree of yours.
• Mm?
• (sigh)
• You've convinced me. It looks like Minister Estelle is the one spreading this horrible rumor.
• Let's keep at it. If we're going to confront her, we'll need serious evidence to back us up.
• Countess Anise, thank you for inviting us to your party. It's been an entertaining—and productive—evening.
• No one is more delighted by your presence than I. With all that socializing and skulduggery, you must be craving the longest of naps.
• Now that this messy affair is out of the way, I feel fairly certain Queen Jennah will attend your summit.
• I think Minister Estelle will soon see the value in cooperating with me rather than rotting in prison for treason. I may have use for her. On a separate note, I do hope you will stay and join the queen's entourage, Kasmeer.
• You mean travel with the queen to the summit? I'd be honored!
• Yes, I think that's the right play. You will, of course, have time to relay the full details of your father's story at that time.
• Oh, I don't think the queen would be interested in—
• Nonsense. Now go. Say pretty things to my guests, and enjoy yourselves for the rest of the evening.
• Ahem. Introducing a hero who needs no introduction, the commander of the Pact.
• And accompanying, the La—ah, ahem, yes, Kasmeer Meade.
• (exhale) Keep it together, Kas. You can get through this. Be confident, like Jory.
• Hello, dear Kasmeer. Don't worry your little face over what the herald's papers say. You'll always be noble in my eyes.
• Countess Anise. That's direct...and kind of you to say. I'm afraid I don't feel particularly noble.
• Then we must do something about that! Nobility isn't in the blood, as so many believe. It's in your choices.
• Your return to grace is only a pardon away. If your talent for detecting lies is all you say it is...
• Well, let's just say I'm confident we can convince the queen your value overrides your father's misfortune.
• I only hope to be of some small service, Countess.
• We have to eliminate any doubt at all. If there's even the smallest chance that Estelle is telling the truth...
• She's not. But we need to hear Anise say she wasn't under that bridge.
• I'm sure I'd have sensed if this were some kind of mesmer cover-up, don't you think? It doesn't matter. I'll know if the countess is lying when we ask her.
• Let's go.
