Marina did not return home either the day after tomorrow or the day after the day after. At first, Jalil was worried that Marina might have told the palace guards about him. But then he decided not to worry, he had gotten out of worse scrapes than this, let them just try, they would immediately find out how an officer of the Crimean Khan's guard could fight.
The day passed slowly, Mehmed brought him breakfast and after breakfast Jalil studied the financial documents of the Fireman sisters.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLbPiSnmNT
As for Marina, she apparently had no interest in her financial affairs and the bankers deceived her as best they could.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3HM57VyRx
First of all, Jalil sent an application to the tax office to deregister taxable land that has long been seized by impudent Ostrogoths.
But what the banker serving Marina did defies any rational explanation:139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m2urgSBDQ
- payment for settlement and cash services from inactive accounts with zero balance;139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRxJcnF4iu
- fee for unused credit limit plus interest accrual on the entire limit amount;139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx8QECV7j1
- payment of a monthly premium for the urgency of transfers to Italy. Marina had no payments to Italy or any financial interests in Italy at all.

Marina returned home a week later, her face showing fatigue.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9buXTZuk8
"You came back quickly," Jalil quipped.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHC1efzgzc
"My tooth started hurting, so I had to come back earlier."
"Did you manage to ask about Bernard?" Jalil inquired.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzSkJUiiov
"Oh, leave me alone, you fool!" Marina flared up. "My tooth hurts and you with your nonsense!"139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8l8gcm5GJ
"Listen, this is not nonsense!" Jalil got angry and grabbed her hand. "My mistress's husband was killed! Your sister killed him on Bernard's orders!"139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirzdecC0r3
"Why did you decide that Irene killed him?" Marina pulled her hand out of Jalil's grip, but Jalil wasn't holding on too tightly.
"It would be better for you either to find Bernard or for Irene to come back and tell everything voluntarily," Jalil looked at her ominously.139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwZARrSpwT
"So what?"139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzhJZRoCLv
"I don't know yet, I'll think of something. I'll go to sleep, and you send a servant to the pharmacy to buy you some poultice for your tooth," Jalil turned around and went to his room.
