I'm not investigating a crime, I'm undoing a tragedy

After an early dinner in the castle's dining hall with Luther and a few other courtiers, Isabelle requested the use of the library.

Caoimhe was arrested that morning and everyone was in the midst of sorting through the web of conspirators Caoimhe had involved, which created a very chaotic atmosphere.

Honestly, she...

Wanted a little break from going through the details of everything Caoimhe had done.

From what she could tell, a lot of Caoimhe's actions had been taken on her own, but not all of them. She'd worked with many nobles, schemed to take power in subtle ways.

She actually had a feeling that half of the nobles helping her had no idea that Caoimhe intended to take the position of King of Ceiori officially.

They likely believed they'd get to install someone of their choosing in return for some level of power Caoimhe convinced them she wanted.

Not that it made them innocent.
