Diplomatic Immunity: Funeral Procession

[Rystil Arden]

"What? You think I did it?" Tyrus shakes his head, "We were all having a family dinner--Lynestra seemed so excited about the wedding--and then we heard the news...it devastated her. We tried to comfort her, but eventually, she just wanted to be alone for a while, so we went back and Leda and I decided to curl up with a good book to take the mind off the tragedy."

“Yes, we just left Lynestra... she still wishes to be alone. As for suspecting you my lord, not really, but the more people we can eliminate for our investigation, the easier it should be to find the actual culprit or culprits, I hope. Also knowing where you were, might allow us to catch others in a lie if they mention seeing you somewhere, when we have evidence to the contrary,” Tiberius offers.

“Speaking of your family dinner... I assume there were servants present to serve the meal?”

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Yes, there were servants serving the meal."

"I apologize if my question came across that way. It is as Tiberius has said, we must interview everyone and your statements will be important should someone other than Lynestra and Leda claim to have been with you. It is my intention to speak to every guest and if need be every servant. In the lies lie the echo of the truth and it is the truth that I seek. With that question out of the way, I had hoped to ask if you knew anyone who might not want to see Lynestra and Ammon together? Both families have appeared to us as very supportive of the entire wedding, but unfortunately we are new here. While we each know Ammon quite well, the other guests here are unfamiliar to us." replies Mythweaver.

"Didn't they turn away all the other guests before they could even arrive," Tyrus asks, "Anyway, I can't think of anyone regardless. Truth be told, I don't think anyone didn't want to see Lynestra married."

“Of course, that doesn’t mean someone hasn’t infiltrated the wedding and is posing as someone else. Hmm, do you know of any enemies Ammon or his family may have?” Tiberius asks, before continuing even more somberly. “A troubling thought also crossed my mind, before we came here, my lord, that perhaps it was someone who was afraid they weren’t going to win Helena’s hand. As if I heard Kastor correctly, you proclaimed your kingdom still followed the law that says daughters must marry in order from eldest to youngest...”

 

[Rystil Arden]

"I don't have a clue if they have any enemies. As for Helena, delaying won't help anyone's case, as they would age and become unsuitable, so that's why all of them want to marry her as soon as possible."

Tiberius Lucius Magnus, Male Praetor Warmage

“True my lord, but I’m not thinking along the lines of delaying until their rivals for her hand die off... I’m thinking more that they don’t want a rival to have her, as they fear they’re out of the running, and since I don’t imagine they could bring themselves to order her death, the next best thing would be to stop Lynestra marrying...”

 

[Rystil Arden]

"If they wanted to do that, they would have had a much easier time killing off their rival rather than poor Ammon who wasn't even involved with them."

“Possibly so, but perhaps they didn’t want to start a war with a powerful kingdom, if it was traced back to them. Anyway, at this point that’s just speculation on my part, and I hope it doesn’t turn out to be true...”
