Queen Medina,
I’ve chosen a date. The arrangements are underway, and by the time it comes, everything will be in place. It will be quick, efficient, and leave no questions behind. But before I move forward, I need to hear it from you without hesitation. Are you still certain you want Fabrizio Narducci dead? What you are asking for is not something that can be taken back.
If your answer is yes, I’ll share the details of what I will do. If you hesitate, then the matter ends here, and he continues to draw breath. Once I begin, there is no turning back.
I don’t ask why you came to me. It isn’t my habit to concern myself with another’s motives. Still, I admit, I’ve wondered why a woman with your influence chose me for this. I wonder, couldn’t your husband have assisted you?
