"So, can you tell us the plan now?" Riku urged.
"Okay, The Grand Luminar," she said, her voice returning to a low and intense tone. "He has requested a formal audience with King Harius III tomorrow morning after his walk around Luxia in an open public address. The official topic is the 'miraculous' Hummer talismans and the Church's response." She turned to face Riku, a cold, calculating look on her face.
"But he also plans to use that opportunity to formally report on the 'treason' of Lord Arnold. He intends to declare him a fugitive and his family missing, branding them all as traitors to the crown."
"He will stand before the King," Riku continued, a slow, predatory smile spreading across his face, "and he will lie. He will tell the court that the Chamberlain's family has vanished, branded as fugitives of the crown. He will use the King's authority to legitimize their conspiracy."
