Shortly after Count Yannik buried the evidence in the ground of Countess Augusta's exile house, he began receiving strange notes. They were threatening notes and related to the evidence in Count Yannik's possession.
IF YOU STILL VALUE YOUR LIFE, GET YOUR HANDS OFF THE LETTERS.
WHAT DO YOU GAIN FROM RISKING YOUR LIFE FOR THE KINGDOM THAT DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU?
YOU'LL BE SORRY IF I MAKE MY MOVE.
HOW LONG WILL YOU KEEP THE LETTERS WITH YOU?
I SEE THAT YOUR LIFE MEANS NOTHING.
From the content of the notes, Count Yannik surmised that the sender of the notes did not know where the count had hidden the evidence. Count Yannik focused on finding the sender of the notes.
