A Spaniard's room & A Swedish confession?
Maria ran into the room. "In here!" She said leading Arthur. "Maria! What the bloody he--" He cut himself off. She held up a note written in sloppy cursive. "What does it say?" He asked. "Well..." She turned the note around and read over it quickly. "It reads---
'Dear Antonio of Spain,
Well well~ Look who's caught in the game now~
Your time is up,
do you know now, how your actions have hurt us so?
No longer will you, or your kingdom stand.
You and your friends will parish~
Your friend Yao has ratted you out~
Hope you & your friends
Have a good trip
TO HELL.

Maria looked up at him. "I don't understand this.." Arthur mumbled. "Who did Yao rat him out to? More importantly, Why?" Maria pondered a bit over his questions. "Perhaps... Hm... OH! MAYBE ONE OF HIS VICTIMS DIDNT DIE!" She said loudly. "Calm down, Maria..." Arthur said quietly. "Oh. Okay." She smiled.
"Now, you're saying that one of his victims survived?" He repeated. "Yes." She said bluntly. "First off, how long has he been doing this?" Arthur asked. "Doing what? Raping and murdering young girls?" Maria blinked. "Well to be blunt about it, yes." Arthur sighed. "Um... I-I... I don't know!" Maria said, truthfully. She pursed her soft, red lips in thought. Arthur watched her. "Oh! Why don't you go ask that Frenchman and I'll look for more evidence here!" Maria suggested. "Do I have to?" Arthur whined.
"Yes."
"But Maria--"
"BUTS ARE FOR SITTING. NOW GO!"
"Fine..." He sighed, walking out. Maria began to look further around the room. A shiny object under the mattress caught her hazel eye. She adjusted her back gloves and knelt besides the bed. Just as she was about to pull it out, someone walked in. "Back already? I thought you we--- Mr. Oxenstirnea?" Maria said, surprised to see him standing there. "Maria, c-can I tell y'u something?" He asked, blushing slightly. "Sure! What is it?"
"I know who the murderer is."
