"I am leaving it in your hands. Just know that the vampire?Elisiana is an older one. She may even be considered an ancient. Regular methods might not work on her. I will let you decide on how to get the answers I seek. She is the one who attempted to assassinate?me, tonight. Just after you left. I want to know who sent her and what they offered her and why, other than I am the newly awaken Prince. Other than the bullets that had been retrieved by the security team, I have no other evidence."
New Scarlett MacAleister
Elisiana. She'd heard the name in vampire?circles but?did
not know this woman.?An elder vampire to be certain, but little more about
her life or whom she associated with.
Vespasian was somewhat frustrating. He¡¯d given Scarlett
little to go on and for what might be necessary to gain a confession or at the
very least details about co-conspirators, he¡¯d given her little of the way of
sanctioning.
In all likelihood, the prince didn¡¯t want to know how she
obtained the information from Elisiana. As a Protector she was trained in ways
to force a confession from not only humans, but from vampires. It was no
pleasant¡something Scarlett did not enjoy and wasn¡¯t sure she¡¯d be able to apply
that training here.
She wasn¡¯t sure she still had the stomach for such an
interrogation. Hell, she wasn¡¯t even sure if the new prince would allow it.
¡°I will require a standard interrogation kit,¡± Scarlett said.
¡°They are issued to Protectors. I no longer have one. I may have to resort to
torture my prince. It is not my first choice, but it is among my skillset. Is
that acceptable?¡±
