After meeting with Silver that night and laying out her plan, Rosa found herself unable to sleep. A grand and intriguing notion consumed her thoughts until the early hours.
What if Gideon Blackmore was merely the beginning? How satisfying it would be to expose the true nature of those despicable nobles from the lowest all the way to the corruption festering within the royal family itself.
The First Princess pretended to be innocent while overseeing the very industry tainted by corruption. It was inconceivable, especially considering the head of this corrupt enterprise was none other than Lady Seraphina, daughter of Count Reynard and Isolde's trusted Lady-in-Waiting.
How could I have missed recognizing her face? It finally clicked for Rosa, recalling where she had seen Seraphina before. After all, Seraphina's portrait was clipped to one of the classified folders that had a permanent place across Rosa's desk in her information guild.
