At that moment, Marshal Kroft enters, flanked by two Korvosan Guard who take up positions either side of the door.She glances at the two newcomers, then at Edmond and Dj'hân. "It seems you have some new recruits," she says to Edmond. "Since Lynn is busy keeping an eye on Verik and... our other friends ... this is good, perhaps these gentlemen are prepared to help?"She sits down."I don't have much time," she says, suddenly serious. "Ever since the King died there have been rumours that his death was not natural, I'm sure you're familiar with most of them." This is true. Although Eodred was old and sick, blame has been apportioned on, variously, the Queen, the Seneschal (who vanished the night King Eodred died), the priests of Abodar and Asmodeus who failed to heal the King's illness, the Shoanti, the Varisians, the Elves, the Red Mantis Assassins and many other suspects."The Queen now has a name - Trinia Sabor. She has issued an arrest warrant with the Korvosan Guard, the Sable Company and the Order of the Nail for the capture of this woman, dead or alive."Orisini steps in. "I know Ms. Sabor," he says. "In fact, I introduced her to the King. She is a young painter, very talented and far too good for her mean circumstances. Through my contacts, I arranged a commission for her to paint the King's portrait, which she was doing shortly before he died." He folds his hands behind his back. "She is not a killer.""I can delay my people," says Kroft, "but the Hellknights in particular are a trifle overzealous in their methods. Guilty or not, this Trinia will not last long if she falls into their hands. And I'd prefer to know the truth.""The Queen, may her reign be ever blessed," says Vencarlo, "Is a jealous woman. She persuaded Eodred to give up his harem of concubines in favour of her alone. Trinia is young, bright and pretty. My suspicion is a set-up. With Trinia blamed for the King's death, Her Majesty removes someone she sees as a rival, and diverts those rumours that blame her for her husband's death."Kroft waves her hand at Vencarlo. "This is just conjecture. I want Ms. Sabor safe in the Citadel, away from the Hellknights and the mob they are stirring up. I need you to bring her to me first.""We have one thing the Hellknight's don't," says Vencarlo with a small smile. "Trinia Sabor's address.""If you will do this, we need to be quick," says Kroft. "Word is already spreading. Are you in?"</blockquote>
