Capítulo 106: Ch. 106: Celebration Ball Pt. 2

Around the empress' neck tonight, was not a noose but strands upon strands of fat diamonds and rubies. Her maroon dress set against the evening lights looks stunning and is worthy of being the creation of my best investment yet. But what is even more stunning to me is how she does not falter despite the recent fault in her reputation.

Katya is surrounded by ladies still wishing to please her, a recently wed viscountess, and a few of the debutantes from this season. This evening may be grating on her as she knows that behind the compliments thrown her way is faint scorn for her recent scandal. But looking at the empress' smiling face, even the best FBI profiler would be able to get a read on any negative emotions.
