Talented Predecessor

Edwin spoke with a thin smile beneath his mask, "Let me give you a story. I am sure all your questions would be answered by the end."

Siluca cut apart the paper in her hand and coldly stared at him, "Speak then. I am curious."

"Great… Now, where should I start. Alright, let's start from the very beginning." Edwin's voice turned serious.

"It started many years ago. Maybe before you became a duchess. Your predecessor handed over the Roscyagite Mine to the church for some sort of deal. I don't know why this deal was made but clearly, the church had a handle on you and you had to sell them this mine."

"Naturally, your predecessor didn't wish to give up on this mine. It brought her a hefty profit. Thus, she thought of a scheme to take it back."

"The first step for her was to plant someone within the Radiant Church. I am not sure who this person is. But he/ she should be near about bishop rank or maybe even an archbishop right now."
