"Excuse me, your majesty, but I don't understand what you mean. Who are 'they'?" Princess Vaeril asked.
"Did your family not find anything suspicious about the opposition faction? Why did they suddenly gain so much momentum and support? Your family must have already investigated something like this, right?" Aldrian asked in return.
Princess Vaeril nodded. "Of course, your majesty. We already investigated them, yet what we found so far does not satisfy us. There seems to be something we missed, and we cannot fathom what it is since we still cannot uncover it. What we did find is that the opposition, led by that one grand duke, managed to persuade other nobles to join their faction."
"However, we know that the sudden spike in the opposition's influence is not without cause. They must have used something to entice the others to join them—and it worked. That something is what we are still searching for, as it could be dangerous."
