Excerpt from Kaerina Eisner’s diary
I am so glad that my “late” brother Algernon was such trusting a fool. If he weren’t, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to correct the mistake he made. When he told me that Delarus and Jedira were not his real children I pretended to understand. I knew that I would need to find some way to neutralize this situation. There was no way that I was going to let children not of noble birth, benefit from my family’s name and money. Algernon told me that since he told me the news about the children, he was going to tell the rest of the family. I couldn’t let that happen. I did some research with clerics of oblivion and they helped see the proper course of action. According to the clerics the “disease” that we were introducing into his system would be fast acting and fatal. Best of all there would be no chance of Algernon’s surviving it as there was no cure for the disease as it was part disease, and part poison. The cleric said that the “disease” was a gift from Oblivion, and that I should use it well. I told him that he didn’t have to worry about that
Taking care of Algernon was child ’s play, and once that was done I set about plotting how to best deal with my dear ”niece and nephew” as well as their mother. I needed to make sure that it was something humiliating and excruciatingly painful. I consulted with the cleric of Oblivion again and asked if he could let me know who the children’s father was. Imagine my delight when not only was the cleric able to do so, but he informed me that Elgen was right here in Amthydor. All I needed to do was to wait for the proper time, and the day of Algernons funeral was perfect as that night was Jedira’s coming out party. It was absolutely delicious to humiliate them on this day, in front of their “peers”, especially since they were still reeling from burying Algernon that morning.
The look on their faces was priceless when they were exposed for the frauds that they are. They swore revenge on me, but there’s nothing those losers can do to me. I’ve got the full backing of the Amthydoran courts while they as commoners have nothing. At least now I don’t have to worry about either of them getting their hands on Eisner family money.
