Gabriel was also wishing lady Luna could smile but the smile he saw was fake and it made hideously ugly compared to the coldness of her eyes. Wondering what made her so cold so that smiling itself was unnatural to her? Upon hearing king's comment arrest on suspicion alone brought worry in his guts not to tell anything about accident with the maid, deciding it was indeed over reacting from maid part defend her mistress against threat which she had reason to worry about. As more often protectors and king's army captains are mixed among minds of commoners.<br/><br/>So Gabriel tells his report mostly truthful fashion; "We have done so sire, arrested nobleman and I was forced kill one his rebel planning associate who was skilled with blade. Other person was caught along with him. Anyways we started from his manor where he was not present besides the house maid and Maria Shadecliff and we found these in Lucian Shadecliff's own bedroom and study." Gabriel places now on strategy table the letters and also map of the castle with along clear cut infiltration plan along with clear arson planned action in wine cellar.<br/><br/>Gabriel points to jars which lady Luna held and said; "Also we found these jars hidden back corner of closet in kitchen, they hold belladonna and arsenic in raw form. Poisonous substances." Gabriel then continues; "I also talked with Maria Shadecliff, so far as her comments about whereabouts of Lucian revealed where he was and told she suspected him meeting with his mistress and that he had grown excited to receive sealed letters. These letters what you can see on the table. So she is unlikely involved with the plot, as otherwise she would not had revealed where her own father and associates were." A simple logic which should be proof enough for Maria's innocence for now if she does not act rebellious or suspicious manner.<br/><br/>Gabriel continues; "By these letters hints and learning from daughter where father was I headed to Jovial Jester and used the password mentioned in the letters, I succeed fool the contact man but when I asked had Lucian arrived made him scream for alarm and called me spy. His associates escaped meeting through window but I had already ordered surrounding alleys surrounded by soldiers from king's army and keep lookout for any suspicious invinduals. I had quick duel to death with the rebel before I went outside and rode after the two associates, one was caught but third was still running when I passed my soldiers. Third I knocked down with my sword and he was Lucian Shadecliff. I brought the dead rebel for identification and the two living associates to the dungeons sire. Up your call how to proceed now with their investigation."
