Gabriel stares back to duke's daughter's eyes and listens her until she mentioned she had two visitors and he replied; "Protector Satel? Was she with the man who groped you? I assume you send the one pair moved to library to burn royal heraldry records and steal whatever rebels need to know but what king and his forces do not need to know. Also easier cover from history whole fact that king had ever existed from later generations and just write in that queen had been legal heir all along. However still lie does not change the fact rebels are trying raise a bastard to the throne and it breaks fundamentals of the royal line. Bastards are only lifted if king declares personally bastard recognized as legal heir, and as said the former king is already dead so that cannot happen.<br/><br/>But can you answer this; is king's half-sister fully wanting to become a queen? Or was she unaware of her heritage until C send two his shadows to find her and then bring her in? What I read from letters, it appeared she would had been kidnapped whatever she was retrieved from. I so far believe C and the inner circle will just use king's half-sister as figure head and place her to throne just be the people pull her from strings do whatever they want her to do. So in end you may erect a tyrant not onto throne but on shadow of the throne."<br/><br/><em>If Satel has man outside the king's army....then no wonder how she could had arranged to get Lady Shadecliff kidnapped. But where she had taken Maria then? To the castle where she was assigned and assuming I nor anyone comes there see her toy noble bribe? Leaving clue of a mask so if someone comes to scene assumes it was rebels?</em>
