Advertisement Signs of heretical magic have been found in the Slade mansion. The responsible authorities are already investigating, but if someone knows something, this person should immediately inform the Heretical Inquisition. Nora's Letter Dear sirs!My dear friend Anna Kartas served as a maid for Kalena Slade in their mansion all last year. Anna is my closest friend, we constantly correspond with her. Yesterday, however, I received a letter saying that my friend is in danger, but I can't get in touch with her in any way!I enclose her letter in the hope that it will help the investigation. If you find Anna, please let her know that I am waiting for her return.NB: I think it has something to do with Kalena Slade.With best wishes, Nora Hill Anna's letter My dear Nora!I've been so terribly busy lately that I've just found a moment to write you a letter! You're doing well, I hope?I've been working at the Slade Mansion for a month now, and it's very difficult to sort everything out here! Do you remember when I wrote to you that Mrs. Kalena made me her personal maid? I am responsible for all her immediate needs, and she, being the heiress of the house of Slade, is constantly engaged in family affairs. She is very smart and educated, speaks several languages and treats me well. She is not at all arrogant like other noble people. Unfortunately, she is not feeling well, she has poor health. The doctor says she may not last a year! If something terrible happens, who knows what will happen to the Slade house?Unfortunately, the mental health of the lady was also shaken. I've seen her old portraits—how majestic and beautiful she was. Well... I will take care of her with all my might to please her.By the way, I heard from the castellan that Sir Ivan will honor the mansion with his presence next month. It seems that he and Mrs. Kalena have been in love with each other since childhood. I wonder what he's like.I attach a small gift to the letter! I hope you like it. With love, Anna My dear Nora!Did you get a gift? This is a wonderful scarf for cold weather!So, do you remember what I wrote about Sir Ivan's return? Well, he's here now. He is exactly as elegant and handsome as I thought, and also very kind. Oh, how he and Mrs. Kalena fit together! If only she would recover, they could have an heir. After the arrival of the guest, Mrs. Kalena's condition improved, she even told me how they walked through the forest together. Of course, it was a long time ago when she could still walk. Eh... seriously ill people miss the old times, the old happiness so much. Mental torments are added to bodily torments.Do you want me to tell you something interesting? But you'll have to promise to keep it a secret! One day I ran into Sir Ivan in the yard and we had a little chat. He said that he still loves his wife very much and is terribly upset because of her illness. He misses the beautiful, perky woman she once was, but he is ready to accept the inevitable.Here's another thing: Mrs. Kalena goes to bed early, and at this time, as if by chance, I run into Sir Ivan. Sometimes he stops and we chat. Sometimes it seems to me that I am overstepping the bounds of what is allowed… I hope he doesn't mind —he constantly compares me to young Kalena!You know, I sometimes dream (even though it's stupid) that one day Mrs. Kalena will leave us and... he and I... oh, you shouldn't have thought about that! She was so kind to me. Don't tell anyone, okay? With love, Anna My dear Nora!Even more news!One day I was cleaning the mistress's room when Sir Ivan came in and asked how things were going. Nothing like that, but I, like the last idiot, started babbling something! The problem is that... Mrs. Kalena didn't sleep. I'll never forget the way she looked at me, I swear. She yelled at me and called me with words that ladies of her position had never heard, and then she started coughing up blood! Sir Ivan has moderated his ardor, but she seems to have found out about my meetings with him.Mrs. Kalena became cold to me. I tried to explain myself, but it didn't help. She looks at Sir Ivan sideways now, too. As for him, he still humbly cares about her. What a kind, good man… Watching my wife slowly die. Lady Kalena could lead House Slade to a better future in the Empire of the Light Bearers… And now she's just sitting on the bed and staring out the window. Is that really the price for the right to be born into an influential family?Next week, another charlatan will come to Mrs. Kalena. A friend recommended this to her, but since so many famous doctors have failed, I doubt that something will come out of this venture this time ... Honestly, if Mrs. Kalena recovers, she will be able to turn the whole world upside down! But this is hardly possible… With love, Anna My dear Nora!A lot has changed in the mansion: every now and then one of the employees disappears. Perhaps they are being sent to work on another estate. I don't know if the same fate awaits me.It seems that I was wrong after all, and the doctor turned out to be no charlatan at all - after his visit, Mrs. Kalena's condition improved noticeably! She can now move around without her wheelchair and does not look at all like a patient on her deathbed. That's a miracle, isn't it?Sir Ivan, however, is not particularly happy about his wife's recovery. Many times I've seen him come up from the basement with a gray and sweaty face... I wonder what's going on there. It seems that the doctors were called there for treatment…Mrs. Kalena is still cold to me, and her character seems to be getting grumpier. She breaks things on purpose to make me clean up. I'm ashamed to admit, but I almost miss the times when she was dying. Then at least it was quieter here. What happens if she recovers completely? Will everything be fine?I confess to you, my dear friend: I can no longer restrain my feelings and I want to follow the call of my heart. I think that Mrs. Kalena no longer loves him, and that I suit him much better.I have a plan. I can't tell you all the details, but if I can, you'll be the first to know about everything. With love, Anna Nora, things are out of control.We are forbidden to leave the mansion. No one says why. Only that it's an order from Mrs. Kalena.Mrs. Kalena has completely regained her strength and beauty, and now she walks everywhere without difficulty. I'm afraid she knows about my intentions, but it's too late to turn back... yes, I love him and I can't deny it anymore. When Mrs. Kalena was recovering, I had such cruel thoughts… For example, what would happen if she became a sickly and indifferent corpse again? Well, I... I put oleander in her wine, but she drank it and didn't even wince! It's like she's laughing at me… She knows everything!Yes, maybe it's my fault, but she definitely recovered not through the efforts of doctors! More like black magic. Her body is covered with strange red marks, similar to scars. She is not at all like that pathetic, sick and forgotten creature — she has become someone else. She's changed…She'll never let me go… I need to get out of here right now! But how...? Anna Report on the heretical incident at the Slade Mansion During the investigation of unusual incidents in the Slade mansion, it turned out that they were related to necromancy. Here are the conclusions reached by the Inquisition:... The Slade Mansion cut off all communication with the outside world for a few days, most likely due to the machinations of necromancers. In light of the fact that the Slade house was privy to the state secrets of the light bearers, the Temple allowed the Heretical Inquisition to break into the mansion by force.No survivors were found inside. Among the dead are Sir Ivan Slade and many servants. A total of 37 victims have been identified.…Heretical rituals were performed in the basement. In it, the investigators of the Temple found a large number of items used for necromancer sacrifices.Among the dead, investigators failed to find the owner of the mansion Kalena Slade. From a young age, she suffered from a deadly disease, which is considered incurable among doctors of light carriers. This fact, along with other testimonies and letters exchanged between Nora Hill and Anna Kartas, allows us to assume that Kalena Slade colluded with Bantus. Moreover, we believe that 37 of those who died in the Slade mansion were killed in order for Mrs. Slade to become a grave-born and save her life. Kalena Slade has been put on the wanted list in the name of Sveta. In case of capture on the territory of the Light bearers, she is subject to immediate execution.
