I have had no communication with your subject on the matter Duke Arnold. I suspect he is awaiting orders on how to handle the situation. I am content to allow this little game to play out however it has been orchestrated, because in the end I am certain it will come to blood, and blood is what I know best.

If that Bohemian is dead, however, I will be claiming whatever of his corpse can be found for my inspection.
