The first figure is clad in white and blue, its chin and lips are colored in red, the hands are wrapped in red ribbon.
 
Priest (solemnly):
 
-Tell me, o wretch, why were you murdered?
 
Dead man (monotonously):
 
-Because of my slander and greed. My tongue was ripped out and my fingers were chopped off.
 
The second figure is clad in gray, its eyes and neck are tied with red ribbon:
 
Priest (solemnly):
 
-Tell me, o wretch, why were you murdered?
 
Dead man (monotonously):
 
-Because of my blindness to lies and betrayal. My eyes were gouged out, and my head was taken off my shoulders.
 
The third figure is clad in red and gold, its chest is marred with red.
 
Priest (solemnly):
 
-Tell me, o wretch, why were you murdered?
 
Dead man (monotonously):
 
-Because of my loyalty to the throne and the crown. My heart was ripped from my chest.
 
The priest flicks his fingers. All three figures drop to the floor.
 
Priest (addresses the guards behind him):
 
-It's clear as day. The murderer is the one in red. He punished the other two for cowardice and treason.
 
Guardsman (pensively):
 
-If this is true... Then who killed the man himself?
 
The priest turns to the audience and opens his white vestment, revealing black robes underneath. He brandishes a bloodied dagger and a human heart.
 
Priest (mockingly):
 
-I'm afraid it will forever remain a secret!

"Listen to me, boy,
Didn't Baron di Felin
Promise to arrive
Here in person?"
Marquis di Roden inquired,
His nose twitching in suspicion.

"Ah, Your Excellency,
Please forgive me, but
The Baron is indisposed",
The servant replied
And bowed at his waist.

"As an apology he sends
A bag of fine wheat
From his own supplies,
A gift for Your Excellency."

He pointed at
The burlap sack
Filled to the brim
As claimed.
Marquis di Roden
Wheezed with laughter:

"What's this?
I gut his granaries
And butcher his servants,
And yet instead of
Meeting me
Face to face
On the fields of glory,
He sends his scrawny servant
To buy me off?
Could it be
That rumors of his
Bravery and honor
Are nothing but a myth
And tall tales?"

"Once again, I beg forgiveness",
The servant's face turned crimson,
"I wouldn't dare
To speak for the baron.
Please, have a look
At the gift!
We reaped a bountiful harvest.
The golden seeds
Are asking to be ground".

Marquis di Roden
Leaned closer
To get a better look
At the golden offer,
When suddenly
Baron di Felin
Pounced at him
From around the corner.
A flash of dagger's steel,
The Marquis' blood dripped on the grain...
A worthy gift!

"And may no one,
You hear me?
No one! No one
May dare to claim
That I,
Baron di Felin,
Didn't come in person.
As for my servant,
The lie was his,
And only his alone."
