Lady Rose sat inside her office, a cup of her favorite tea resting on the table, its warm herbal scent filling the room. In her hand was a letter that had just arrived. After seeing it was from Raze, she opened it quickly and pulled out the paper inside.
It detailed everything he had discovered, the possibility that certain people within the Kingdom of Vermilion were working with demon cults to spread the abomination infection throughout towns, cities, and eventually the entire kingdom. He explained that Count Liam was one of them and urged her to find a way to inform the queen so she could take preventive measures before the infection spread beyond control.
Lady Rose finished reading and folded the letter. She had read it aloud for the person sitting across from her, none other than Marine, the queen herself. Marine sat with her legs crossed, a palm resting beneath her chin.
"To think I would hear something like this on the day I came to visit you," Marine said.
