Jepeto, wearing a serious expression, was also present. He handed me a letter from the Princess of Riverdun, which had arrived while I was meeting with Veremir. It was short and to the point.

"Well, losing a war for the throne becomes a crime."
That was Genise's comment and Edwin's reply after reading the letter.
