Inevitably, successful contact with the spirit world upsets the oracle:
“What I have to tell you is extremely important. For some time now I have sensed something that has been worrying me quite a bit, and in the last few days it has become increasingly stronger.”
“With all due respect, madam, I do not believe in these things.”
“I know. You are free not to believe me, your highness. But when I learned confidentially of your arrival here in England, I felt that it was about you.”
“I… I see you are upset. I regret being the source of your agitation, but I do not understand.”
“It is your aura, prince! Now that you are before me, I am certain of it! I sense a very important bond with a person… a certain Klara.”
“But… uhm! You have very capable informants, Madam, but I warn you that…”
”My 'informants' are the emotions you feel for her, and they are very strong. I… I sensed... I sensed the fire, Prince Rudolph! I see it even now! A fire that will consume all of Europe! I see… I see… Oh my God! No!”
“Madame!”
“Noooo! Aaahh!”
“Call the doctor! She’s ill!”
“Enough! Enough! I don’t want to see it again! I don’t want to!”
“What are you talking about? Explain yourselves, damn it! If it's all a trick, I…”
“I saw… ruin, death, devastation… horror! And it's somehow connected to you, and that woman! You must stop it! You must go to Russia immediately and speak to the person I will tell you about.”
“It's quite a trip. Why should I do that?”
“Because it concerns the whole world, Prince! A world in danger!”
Have you figured out yet how Prince Rudolf's son will pose such a threat to Europe?
