"I hear you've run into some trouble lately," the Duke of Orleans said, "Won't you invite me in to sit down?"
"There's no need; this has nothing to do with you..." Mono hadn't forgotten that the man before him was his political rival.
"In that case, I'm afraid your son will soon be arrested by the royal guard," the Duke of Orleans smiled, "And you, you'll likely be implicated and dismissed from your position."
Mono's face turned ashen as he said, "I will seek Her Majesty the Queen's pardon..."
The Duke of Orleans immediately interrupted him, "I heard from my friends at the High Court that the Crown Prince visited the High Court the day before yesterday, and had Judge Croix taken into custody for examination."
"And yesterday, the case involving your son became the talk of the town. Don't you think there is a coincidence here?"
