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.100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntJSvD3sOt
As for Marina, she apparently had no interest in her financial affairs and the bankers deceived her as best they could.100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacGSkgWxob
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:100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLR4xqVXDl
- payment for settlement and cash services from inactive accounts with zero balance;100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCW6v6spFh
- fee for unused credit limit plus interest accrual on the entire limit amount;100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqLQfTNs2Z
- 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.100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAXkf84uzP
"You came back quickly," Jalil quipped.100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J3uNLOitb
"My tooth started hurting, so I had to come back earlier."
"Did you manage to ask about Bernard?" Jalil inquired.100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr2xPdh6uT
"Oh, leave me alone, you fool!" Marina flared up. "My tooth hurts and you with your nonsense!"100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuRIa59y6B
"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!"100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ062xeCwALz
"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.100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J98OaalfI
"So what?"100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPmnL5iolz
"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.
