Thraxas and the Ice Dragon / Траксас и леденият дракон: Деветнадесета глава

Английски оригинал Перевод на български

Baron Vosanos chooses this moment to get involved. "What sort of investigation? Sorcerous? I don't like the idea of foreign Sorcerers poking about, I must say."

"I don't use sorcery," I tell him. Which is almost true. These days magic is mostly beyond me. "I just ask questions."

#52 в контекст

"Then how are your investigations ever successful? Surely criminals don't volunteer information?"

#53 в контекст

"I'm dogged. I keep asking."

#54 в контекст

Baron Vosanos laughs. "I can't see you making much progress. Who thinks this girl's death was suspicious anyway? First I've heard of it."

#55 в контекст

"Really? I thought it was well-know there were some suspicions. That's why Daringos was asked to investigate."

#56 в контекст

"There were no suspicions," says Baron Mabados.

#57 в контекст

"That's not what your daughter thinks," I reply.

#58 в контекст

The atmosphere, already cold, drops to somewhere around frozen. Mentioning the Baron's daughter in public, in connection with an investigation, could be construed as a huge social blunder. But I'm fed up being tactful, and maybe it's time to shake things up.

"If you so much as talk to my daughter I'll run you out of town," says Mabados.

#60 в контекст

"I already talked to her. And you're not running me out of anywhere."

#61 в контекст

"Why, I'll - " explodes Mabados, but he's unable to continue as the young King arrives at that moment, heralded by a fanfare of trumpets. Everyone bows respectfully. Out of the corner of my eye, I can see Baron Mabados glaring at me with loathing. Perhaps he knows more than he's letting on.
