( Seelie )

[It is too soon that she stands in this place once again with her locket pointing at her. It is clear she is emotional, her state of dress frenzied. Lucrezia has been crying, that is for sure, but she wears a sterner look now.]

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the death of Governor Fortuna of Treun. [It has long been unsafe here, but with such a bold move again, she shakes her head.]

First his dear sisters, and now he seems to follow them. I have little details myself, but whoever has done this-- [Her jaw tightens, flexes for a moment.] I would reward anyone handsomely for anything they could tell me.

[But she is not just a grieving family member. She is a diplomat. So Lucrezia takes another deep breath.]

Regardless of who the city may elect, I will still honor all trade and all alliances that have been thusly made.

[She rubs at her nose, her hand shaking uncontrollably. There is a lightheadedness that threatens her, and she knows she must lie down.]

I have an old tome, given to me by the monarchs here. I am going to try and work on a cure myself. [This was exactly why she wanted the potions book after all. Working in remedies and poisons suits her well.]

If it is written in the symbols of the tongue of this realm, you should know I can't read them well. Which is fine with me.

( Honestly, she's neither embarrassed nor put off by this. )

We'll just have to work together. I'll make my way over there as soon as I can. I want to check on the farmsteads along the road to see how the people are doing.

I can read it. I simply do not know what would help. [It's not like it comes with an extensive guide. And it's possible there may be many so called solutions. The disease seemed more like story than an actual infliction, a myth to warn off evildoers.]

When in doubt: try everything. The rumoured cures I've heard of so far vary widely.

A friend of mine thinks it a spell of some kind.

If it is of this place, I am not surprised. [Not in the least with what many people are capable of here.]

Do we know what the origin is, yet?

If so, someone here may be able to trace its origin. ( To the monarchs themselves, perhaps? It's too conveniently-timed. )

No. I'm just thankful it's not airborne, like the plague. I nursed the people of my village through an outbreak.

( She'd lost her daughter then. Others had lost much more. Then, she had looked calm and composed. The same as she does now. )

Are any of the natives in your territory infected?

I know of the plague. Naples suffered from its destruction not long ago.

I believe this sickness has swept through this land rather quickly. If it has not, then surely it will soon. [And while she is mostly secured for the time being, given the political turmoil, but that did not mean it would remain so.]

Were you there, during the outbreak? It's an experience I'll never be able to forget.

( It definitely will, seeing as it seems to be spread by touch; and people here have a fondness for doing just that. )

That's a certainty. It must be managed, as well as treated. This book you speak of may hold the key to doing both.

I was not. I was in Rome, kept far from it. [It is not something she would like to have been present for, and certainly her father would have had her whisked away from any potential harm.]

I hope to find such a solution.
