By: Moisés Morán Vega

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In the medieval kingdom of Sicily, a tragic murder disrupts the royal court on the eve of Prince Arnaldo VI's engagement to the beautiful Shintia. As the kingdom reels from the shocking crime, Pascuale de Valleudeón, a war-wounded general known for his intelligence and strategic mind, is tasked with uncovering the killer. His investigation reveals dark secrets, including the king's illicit affair with the victim, which adds fuel to the intrigue surrounding the royal family.
As Pascuale delves deeper, he uncovers a web of jealousy, betrayal, and hidden motives. The investigation points to Princess Ruth, who once shared a close bond with Shintia but now harbors deep resentment. Confronted with Ruth’s veiled confession and the political impossibility of accusing a royal, Pascuale faces a moral dilemma. He must navigate court politics and his sense of justice, knowing that the truth may never see the light of day.
The story culminates in Pascuale’s resignation and departure from the court, disillusioned by the corrupt system he served. As he leaves Sicily, news of King Arnaldo’s sudden death by poisoning hints that the queen, known for her cold and calculating nature, has once again taken matters into her own hands.
