After talking with Malia Quarto, I have gained a single piece of valuable information. As much as I could witness, she was convinced about her words.
Aida also confirmed my hunch, and we walked away without any idea about how to approach Marchioness Verres. I can't come up with a way to talk to two of the Crown Prince's mistresses without raising suspicions. And, after hearing what Malia had to say, I don't want to alarm anyone.
«Life is unpredictable,» Aida points out. «Even if she was telling the truth, it might be all a coincidence.»
She wasn't too close to us to hear, but she could follow Malia's body signals and energies. I've summed up the information and reported to Aida what is most relevant. She will continue helping me going forward, especially with the Marchioness. I have to meet her sooner than later, and she might know something more about it.
