Oh wow, even better than usual! Darion dying was an unexpected twist, and I really like it! Hopefully Jezebel's next
Alex might be glaring at Carlin, but he didn't attack him, so he's got doubts that it was Carlin at the very least. Killing with poison doesn't seem much like Carlin, and there's a power-hungry poisoner who was in the kitchens earlier; it shouldn't be too hard for him to figure out who it was, even if Luca doesn't speak up.
Absolutely perfect chapter, can't wait for the next one!
