I will start my story with an apology to my daily journal readers. Though this account of mine is quite different from medical discoveries, it might clear up many theories and conspiracies regarding the famous case of the English Duke, which has been branded false by some and incredulous by many. As my dear friend Vera says, it is the conspiracy which interests people, far more than the truth. Yet I hope that this story will finally give rest to any other versions of it.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6v2tBSCPF

It was the afternoon of the 10th of January, a cold and windy day, when I was fixing a patient of mine.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFZz3WQwD8
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0bFDSGfPy
"It is cold then, which depresses you?"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF6LVFc6bX
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlyTcTnops
" Ah, what can I say," my patient began," It is cold. But it is the knee too."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSFH8xa69N
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCGsxV8ixQ
"Knee?"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8ny5X1omg
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTo3uQ2ar0
" Yes. I have been travelling much. From here to there. You comprehend?"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrhwFC93Qh
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3955aKUvRm
I didn't. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJiguXIcq2
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwBHKkuvTJ
Before I spoke anything, my patient stood up, and for the first time, I was able to see his face that was hidden under his hat earlier.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcZ1cz1lNS
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmmpbFj7QH
He had an egg shaped face, a glorious moustache and sparkling eyes. He reminded me of someone I had seen in the papers, but who, that I couldn't tell.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXp30Nig1E
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4ZsyUhC2U
"You see mon ami, it is your friend who gave me this knee."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0s5CVfZUv
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDfoqVPoDn
I looked at him. Trying not to laugh at his ridiculous face, I asked, " My friend?"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapbYlxxRTH
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSkN8X99ZN
"Oh yes. Vera."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxdk2pCBRR

"Oh."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQmTKQqRJb
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcek5PVAujp
Vera. My closest friend. She had a very odd job in this world. But her life was thrilling. Running here and there, chasing after this person and that person - oh what a life.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNYAE7hq2H

The man put his hand in his pocket and clasped his cane with the other. As he turned around, he handed me a letter and bowed, signalling the end of our time and went out of my clinic.
I sat on my chair and gazed out of the door the man had gone out through. There was utter confusion on my face. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwnIe5ywnj

367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YwgEksF5L
I unfolded the letter he had brought me. With sceptical eyes, I read:367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7x2WpHz4P

Dear Jim,367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88ChLah2Gw
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUBSL04Wms
How are you? I am fine. Listen. Come and meet me on the 27th of this month. I have a very interesting thing for you to look forward to. It might knock you off the chair you are currently sitting in and also change your sceptical look to a look of awe.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB4wMai8vK
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpNxyda022
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO2oLE0OWn

That was her. Vera Clay, a friend of mine. She was a detective. I had first met her when I had stumbled upon a murder case involving a relative of mine.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YgXaTpWbH
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVbziwKwBZ
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlrAzLfUqv
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtOXlMOGcF
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5942zZ3Nmv
I knew of her smart brain and so didn't care to think how she had accurately written in her letter that I would be sitting on my chair, with a sceptic look.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRzIkJIEaq
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6fUQzOZ7J
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWy9PRyU5n
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XeeDQNrZo
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYfTdunRAe
The 27th arrived and I repaired myself to Vera's house in East London. It was a small flat, a rented one. I had lived in it with Vera for ten years before I had moved out to continue with my practice. The door was a little rusted and was unbolted.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxHVQS5Ld2
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbFs9bd56K
I walked inside.
The sight I saw did not surprise me.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9ZzyrpMJs
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDryvAEj1L
Vera was leaning over her table, looking into her microscope, examining a sample.
I quietly walked over to her and placed my coat on the table beside her.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5Vbzrdsxn
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpoJkXrCo5
It was then that she took notice of me and, without looking up, greeted, " Hallo Jim."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcGcYKJ5cx
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIg6BupqJB
I went straight to the point.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBvVOh05MH
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioFRO53PVT
" Vera, you didn't write that letter, did you?"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9zeNd8oMd
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyL1eNTvve
She dived even deeper in her microscope and just replied impassively, "Hmm...what? Oh the letter. No i didn't. I just dictated it to young Dave living across the street. I fancy he might've added some of his own bits, considering i had just dictated him one line."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttfMQ3n27g
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFy4Gl5iXq
I laughed and sat on a chair.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkCi0t2km7
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9frUY4a4wg
"Was it so obvious though?", Vera asked after a while.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtPMrrOSOy
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Zghr514Ux
I smiled and replied, " Of course. I've known you for ten years. I know your style."
None of us spoke for a few minutes after that. It was typical of her. She only spoke if the other person did. She was not the type to start a conversation.
The silence was unnerving me. She was so engaged in her scientific work that I thought she had forgotten that she had called me here.
Frustrated, I asked, anything to get her to talk, " How did you know that i would be "sitting on my chair with a sceptic look"?"
She replied in a bored voice, " It was so obvious. I have know you for ten years as you say so yourself. Even young Dave got it."
The silence continued.
She perched herself back and slammed her fist on the table. The action was enough to surprise me, but not much - I was used to it.
Vera yelled, " Awful! Amazingly, brilliantly, boringly awful!"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2DwnJkJUG
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJunDjJelc
I advanced to calm her, but stopped as I realised it wasn't necessary.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NUn6pPqpa
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsK5L5Oa6k
Instead, I asked," What's the experiment?"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ou88IFbxm
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7oZbGCTcV
She looked at me for the first time and replied, " Oh Jim. You're still here. I thought you were off. The experiment? Nothing. Just the old sheriff who commissioned me to match fingerprints for a robbery case."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MFL8VYBTf
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupjQPeH3Jp
"And?"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnNQyPkRKH
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVTkFzTkv8
" They turned out to be the fingerprints of the Sheriff himself."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspvlbb0kok
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpfzxpBHl2
"Isn't that good? You got your man."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTxEaWAMk2
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxb7N0JcFt
"No. He can't have robbed."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdnttUdZXn
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQCxuesbpG
"Why?"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf3NvNSOjc
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaDrvXKjxT
She frowned and replied, Oh why can't you just think Jim? He can't have robbed. That's because identifying fingerprints is something which is fairly simple. Surely a man as intelligent as the Sherrif won't turn himself in. Also, he was wearing boots on the day of the robbery."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosO42gNLVN
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj7B4afiZq
I frowned and replied satirically," Well that makes perfect sense."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHOH22x99L
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmErn7hZlF
"Doesn't it?"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM6sJBbDUN
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5YUgoLIWk
I have to say, sarcasm is wasted on Vera. All she wants is talk of business. Nothing else.
So I asked, " Who was that man you sent the letter with?"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZW8YMO9gy
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQUKC5YFaF
"Oh just an old friend of mine. He is a detective too. Might be the greatest detective of today's times."
" He looks rather ridiculous to me."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ejpfl60DU
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ3N4Ydush
"Few people take him seriously."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDEXTufeEh
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnQiOycIQp
She went off into the kitchen, and I followed her.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSwkzEx9Mc
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF2cAK3fcU
"Weren't you going to show me something interesting?"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30L9SpqSEY
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zBxOfjNq6
She turned to me and smiled, excited.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vjLIdeWK8
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrNN4ld1cJ
She said, " Glad you mentioned it."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Dir9BGkiB
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PHpUyiayf
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbXaSg9b6s
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN23xFkCwP
She frowned and said, " You didn't ask."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOYtiLdppS
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt9rNB1koH
Call me imprudent if you like, I thought.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JO8jbed33
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ckD76N85j
"On my table in the hall, there's a package. Bring it."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH6G2LOTAO
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFkPCAEiwN
I did so. 367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZhphe3hfS
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOwIkZ94B6
I handed it over to her, expecting a reaction, but all I got was nothing. Her eyes were uninteresting and bored, as if it was obvious what she was going to say next. Knowing her, she wouldn't say it in such a case.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO959qiBYZC
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGxzITTaVt
Then I looked more closely at the package and notice a red tulip and gasped.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQUCRlt1qq
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6lKiLsgy6
"Why, it's the....the....Royal Mark!"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hn6ea3nBd
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AhWpaJ2an
My voice shook as I fluttered like a fish out of water.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaT5iPCW1g
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44mnhzcJqw
Vera smiled.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1WxksgiRv
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHjKV4SyHD
"It arrived today, and I have a feeling I know what's in it."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaFi80OwkK
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O578LUocK
At once, I opened the letter and found in my hand an inexplicable blank note, much to my amusement.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNLu7xnbut
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu4yDWCX7w
I laughed as I remarked," Well Vera. What do you make of this?"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqZn1SR0Fq
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fwRczk3oA
I half - expected her to frown and not chuckle as she did.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm72mRIPja
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCohbrfAXMz
" Blank note isn't it? How boring."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDarl7tEHW
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBwjSc0yMu
"What is it about?"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVWC87Siv9
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4o3qPB6E5
"You shall know - now."
Right at that moment, a man appeared at the door.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mq5P1bl0E
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT74TdsMkj
"You knew he would come?"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVKuQT7SMt
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyDQWlZOaV
Vera looked away to her work and said," Indeed. I see that you didn't notice the walking stick our visitor has left in the corner of the room. Indeed, our man has come back."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjvLBhClWH
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ORrqjwsGX
I went and opened the door.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXhd5M3fwl
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBaE0E8d1p
"Good morning sir," said the man, scratching his faint beard," You must be Vera Clay, the detective..."
I corrected my identity and assured him that he had indeed come to the right place.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdPBSPqF8Z
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpxrEiYdfM
When he met Vera, his face shined with surprise. It was not unusual. People hardly believed that she was the detective and I was not, owing to the fact that she was a woman, a fact that I found mildly absurd.
Nevertheless, our man sat down.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphn3Fit0DS
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxsmSr7O2Q
"Madamoiselle, I have come to you on strict orders from the Royal Family. My name is Sanders Roy. That's Colonel Roy to you two."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzy5eODZfM
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxYkZwCWX8
We nodded.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjIy7jFKhE
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2o6ks86q0
Vera said:367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0du2CWx7b
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyHJkOeyRn
" I believe, Monsieur, that you came by here a bit earlier today, say, a little after seven in the morning?"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2SIsy4Jiy
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ099I5ve55W
The Colonel said, " Yes I did. I saw M. Shepperd coming here, so I assumed you had returned."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG2Qs9Km1Z
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4MtKNnGjS
" And is it safe to assume that you broke the plate over there?"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5861vsViRP
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55JRK0iGrd
She pointed to a broken plate kept neatly on one of the chairs.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3AnHPIgUe
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CkxhCC3Pn
Colonel nodded," My apologies."
Vera smirked and said, " Don't be sorry. As it is, I am going to take my money from you. I believe you still have your change of €2 from the coffee you just had in the coffee shop opposite this flat?"
Colonel gasped.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVvxHpTG99
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTqXncypCl
"How did-"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3PHrBBA5G
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjPskDkKTg
"You came here two hours ago and left your cane. I assumed it was purposely done so as to notify me of your visit. You belong to the Royal Family meaning you'd have a long way to go back. So I assumed that you were taking lodging nearby. Look at the time now. It's 9:30. Most people would pass their time drinking a beverage. So I thought you'd be having coffee at the shop opposite. You mentioned just now that you saw my friend Jim coming here, confirming my assumption that you were at a place nearby. The cost of the coffee is €5 and I thought that you wouldn't take much money out with you, to not attract much attention. The €2 was just a wild guess."
For a moment there was silence. I, who knew of Vera's methods gave no reaction but just looked at the Colonel. He was speechless. His mouth was open as he looked at Vera as if she were an alien.
He cleared his throat and destroyed the silence.
"Well", he said with dignity," let us go back to our purpose of the conversation. I, as you know, am from the Royal Family and I have brought with myself a letter from them - which you have already received."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RXVf8U1Ao
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWC4U7TSQC
Vera nodded.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZM7jYzf3a
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvfKGrjcSa
"On behalf of Duke George, I would like to invite you, Madamoiselle Vera Clay, to the Royal Ball. You may invite a companion to come with you, and I assume it's going to be M. Shepperd here."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWieAsGhJ2m
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzrYLACgdw
"Yes."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7LPi5Lbjh
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ9CxYEpF2
"Well then, the Ball is on Thursday. Today is Tuesday. You have two days to prepare."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoaFzBUTpi
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaROiK5jqHq
Colonel Rose stood up.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhJvIvecIj
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuFuTIi9br
"I must be off now."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FxBbB3DFj
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFZcARm6RF
He looked at Vera strangely again, eyeing me in the process too. Off he went.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuhB9WNhWK
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZD0pxlLWG
Vera, being herself, went into the kitchen without saying a word to me. I followed.
"Vera," I beckoned,"you aren't seriously going to the Ball, are you?"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboykzWCXkF
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEQYOUxMN0
She frowned.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPz4YLIhRu
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqiPWayb7y
"Why, John? Of course I am."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLtO5p79gJ
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEok4rA06k
"You do understand that there are going to be real people there. People you are going to have to talk to."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqaaYGH4yo
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o6mfxIOkd
"Don't be silly, John. I do know how to talk."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdVEdxryJK
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhnhScHBUU
"No. No you don't ", I said simply.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NwGAhLiMZ
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRRtbx7ivu
"Well then, I'd just hover in the background."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcGrwr14iF
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4CqUEE1j1
"Vera," I said," why do you want to go to this party? You don't usually go to such things. Why a sudden interest?"
Vera sighed. She pulled out a chair and ordered," Sit."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYciOZhimFE
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDQM8I6mpo
I did.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82p09braa3
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvNwiyqThu
She began, " John, do you know the Royal Family?"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6nIRVT5OA
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXpZXmZ2l2
I shrugged.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3rKHEercI
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh7MTzvq6D
"Well I have read about them in some magazines and journals."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yZXGhUqoy
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvb6WOdJIV
"That is not enough."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAywfwKimIE

"Tell me then."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLQY1FNMeR
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD5F7PcLds
" John, the Royal Family is large. There's the Duke, the twin sons - Micheal and Roger, the mother, the Aunt, the Colonel, the governess, the hunter, the writer, etc. "367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK3hmgavok
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiRR8dw5kf
"That's some diversity."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHwwaN2Y0J
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg5eY06lZ0
"And what happens when all such high - class diverse people are brought together under one estate?"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQutC3AAXl
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPJmimTyPN
"Let me guess, scandals, controversies?"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRviA7rCU6
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHdeKaO06v
"Exactly. But more so. A violent clash of egos. Fights. Rivalries in everything - sports, poetry, music, women - you name it. Especially between the twins."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNNgFoJdJw
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJpe1oqAzm
I smirked.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKYXON1QQD
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZOEQy2Ycs
"But you aren't interested in that, are you?"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU3RPvFVXS
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwCRNjTxLq
"Of course not. No. I am interested about one particular thing. Only one. Something which may change the Family forever."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55PKkJocu9
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lDbMqIFhs
"And that thing is...?"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ8HE4mT8H
