I think the murder is the princess. If the princess has feeling for the duke, then she would kill mostly women that get in the way. The man in the begin could have found out that and that's why he died, there is also the fact that since she's living in the duke's house, she untouchable for right now, and the princess doesn't see her as a threat right now since of what she said during the tea party.
I have never seen or read something so beautiful in my life. This was a beautiful story. I don't know what to do with myself since I finished reading it!!! I don't think I can recover from this!!
Can someone recommend me something similar to this? It can have a whole different plot I just want something that gives a similar emotion.
