Manja noticed something, gleaming in the corner of her eyes, something small, by the door. She immediately ran over to grab it, before anyone else saw it...

A ring... She thought, examining it, slowly rotating it to find any distinct markings, patterns or...

Inscriptions...

Her stomach sank as she saw the inscription 'Rielle'

Shit... he was here! She quickly pocketted the ring, before anyone saw her and asked any questions, if he was here, there had to be some other evidence that didn't involve ruining his plans.

Manja entered Edgar's 'office,' gasping in disgust and horror as she saw Edgar's 'decor,' she immediately stumbled back and fell out of the room, attracting Lilly's attention.

The witch ran over and knelt down beside her. "You okay?" Just as she had finished talking, she glanced up and saw the corpses, suspended from the ceiling. Though Lilly was no stranger to mutilation, the nature of it unnerved her...

The nord pulled herself to her feet and heald her breath as she went in, looking at the pained faces to see if any of them were Nish. Thankfully, none of them were bretons...

She turned around to leave, she had no desire to stay in this place any longer than she needed to. However, as she did so, she noticed the, mutilated, corpse of a breton on the floor...

Gods... no... She quickly ran over to him and looked it over, with the head so caved in, it was difficult to tell if it was him or not.

''Dammit... I can't tell but Lilly could!''

Manja quickly ran out of the room and closed the door behind her, silently drawing the imperial's attention with several hand gestures. As Lilly followed her in, she immediately saw the problem...

"Is it?"

"That's what I want you to find out." Manja explained as Lilly crouched next to the body.

"Okay..." she slowly  began to examine, what was left of the face.

"Does Nish have any scars? Markings? Birthmarks? Body paint?"

Do I look like Eilonwyn?

"No... just his injuries from this I guess..."

Lilly's search ended pretty quickly, she stood up with a sigh of relief. "It's not him..."

"You sure?"

"Look at the right side of his face, there's a scar." Lilly pointed out.

Manja took a closer look to see if she was right, she was...

"What if he'd gotten it recently? What if these people-"

"Impossible, it's at least five years old..." Lilly confirmed.

Manja took her turn to sigh with relief, "okay... we'll keep looking."
