Ehvar’s smile gradually faded away into the stern look offered Paul’s way. The last thing he wanted was to be reminded of Synerva while he was bound and trapped away headed for prison. But to hear that Leto had turned on him? His initial response was doubt -- despite how timid the boy was. Leto never questioned orders. Leto killed if he had to evil if he was still just a child. Even at risk of being imprisoned like himself, Leto stayed behind with Mere. That was not something Paul could have lied about.
If Leto had not pointed the way out to the inspector, he never would have found the last scene until it was spoiled and done with. But could Leto have really spilled everything? Why? Was it for his freedom? The boy did seem concerned over prison.
The inspector was nearly to the door when Ehvar tilted his head back and called after him. “I do not know anything about this Synerva woman. But maybe.. Someone is trying to frame me in their own game. Someone wanted Keht dead for what she did. I would almost be willing to take the fall for it too, if she did die.†He stared back after the man with a cocky smile playing at his lips. “You never did mention that, by the way. Other than being tied up with ribbons.. Beaten up… How is the murderer doing?â€
