"Right, Rose Vesper, I heard that within the Holy Court, not everyone is entirely loyal to Augustus," Catherine said mysteriously. "It's said that Douglas of the Heresy Court has always been at odds with Augustus."
Rose Vesper scoffed privately, Douglas had long been a loyal subordinate of hers, there was no need for Catherine to tell her that.
"You could try to win over Douglas, as well as Gabriel, the Vice Captain of the Holy Knight Order, who has also been quite critical of some of Augustus's arrangements. He has always felt that he is the one truly deserving to be the Captain of the Holy Knight Order, and that the current Captain only secured his position because of his close relationship with Augustus. Moreover, he is eager to see his son become the Saint Heir. If you could win Gabriel over..."
Gabriel?
This was news to Rose Vesper.
