A Deeper Conspiracy (1)

Astra suddenly understood that even Azrael was aware of the fact that there was no such solid evidence but he still played along and threatened that maid in a way that she confessed her crimes in a moment of panic. The entire play, however, was two man orchestration from the beginning to the end. And everyone got played by Lareina and Azrael.
