The curtain rises on the first act of your national tragedy. Weeks of meticulous planning, subtle manipulation, and carefully orchestrated corruption have led to this moment. The Prince of England, heir to the throne, symbol of Britain's stability and power, is your target. You do not act directly. Your hands remain clean, immaculate, hidden behind a veil of shadow and mystery. You have woven a web so complex, so subtle, that even Sherlock Holmes at his peak would not have been able to unravel it. Agents, recruited and manipulated by you, are already in place.
Conspirators, infiltrated into the innermost circles of the palace, await the signal. The prince is currently attending a reception at the palace, surrounded by his guards, dignitaries, and deceptive grandeur. Your plan is simple in its boldness: sow chaos, confusion. A series of carefully orchestrated events, a cascade of misunderstandings and strategically placed incidents, creating the perfect fog of war at the heart of the palace. Amid the panic and confusion, the assassin will strike. You do not need a professional killer, just someone desperate enough to be manipulated, blind enough to see only the opportunity they believe they created for themselves. You watch it all unfold from a terrace overlooking the palace, at a safe distance.
You no longer feel the feverish thrill of your early games. This is a symphony of death and destruction on a grand scale, a macabre masterpiece where each note is an act of violence, a bloody vibration. The prince falls. A piercing scream cuts through the night, followed by cries of horror. The success of your plan plays out before your eyes. News will spread like wildfire. Chaos takes hold, fear creeps in, sowing discord throughout the country.
The first act is complete. The national tragedy you have composed is taking shape—a symphony of destruction of which you are the sole and undisputed composer. Holmes and Watson remain unaware of your involvement, ignorant of the power and scope of your diabolical plan. But their time will come. You will make sure of it.
