[it goes like this:
on the eve of the wedding between the marquess cristiano harwood and the baroness josephine donadieu, things did not go as planned. the viscount elios durchdenwald abruptly collapsed during the reception, suffering some sort of stroke or heart attack. upon subsequent investigation, it was discovered that the wine glass in the man's hand had been poisoned — raising, of course, several questions.
who poisoned the viscount? was he the intended target of the attack? and how did the poison make its way into the wedding banquet when all guests were screened for dangerous materials?
now, the officers working the case are just ordinary men and women — the nobles are always trying to kill each other over one thing or another, so this isn't something that warrants the attention of the emperor or britannia's special forces. all the same, the ordinary officers uncover many things very quickly. for one thing, the viscount survived, but barely, and he is recovering in the hospital now. for another thing, the viscount was involved in a great many unspeakable acts, such as the rather barbaric treatment of the numbers in his jurisdiction — and while that's not technically illegal, the drug and sexual trafficking offenses he has committed and which have now been brought to light will certainly have to be prosecuted.
case closed, some might say. the poisoning of viscount durchdenwald was not a matter which would warrant the attention of earl kanon maldini, at first. he had better things to do — other issues to investigate, other duties which would better serve the needs of the prince to whom he is sworn. but then, as the official investigation floundered and its many leads grew cold, came the thought:
members of the royal family are not subject to the same screening procedures as guests.]
